Coal WaShery at

said; "The developments at the Chlckaloon mine have produced very satisfactory results. The mining at Coal Creek has recently attracted con- siderable attention and the prospects are very promising.
 "The Alaska Engineering Commts- sion has withdrawn from coal mining activities at Eska and is purchasing it's coal from private concerns. The Evans Jones Coal company is now working on a 5000 ton contract for the com mission and is producing about 125 tons of coal day. The property is in good shape and has considerable coal tn sight. In the near future it is ex- pected that the mine will be produc- ing about 250 tons daily.
 Matanuska Coal Fields Proved
 "In my opinion the Matanuska coal fields are a coming coal producing area. I believe the developments so far have determined this beyond a doubt. It will, of course, take time This is because of the difficulties in securing the necessary capital to de- velop the field on large scale. This will necessarily have to be done in or der to reduce the cost of production, but in time these matters will adjust themselves. The world will need coal and the coal is there and it will be gotten out.
 AS to the character of the coal l believe there is a very good grade ot steam coal at Chickaloon and there are bituminous seams south and west of there that will produce very good grade of domestic coal. A great deal of this latter is so clean that it will not need to be washed. As 1 have sa1o before | believe that the MatanusKa coal field will in time be one of the worlds greatest coal producing areas
