REPORT IF MINING
 MAN FAVORABLE
 INTERIOR L|GN|TE:
HUGE COAL DEPOSITS AT HEAL\ WILL ANSWER ALL NEEDS
 OF THE INTERIOR

Geo. w. Evans, consulting coal min ing engineer, of Seattle, who visited Sultrana recently at the request of the company, to make survey of condl lions, expresses himself as follows il a letter to manager Donaldson, afte- an exhaustive investigation of the pro- critics:
 q will of course cover the result my examination in detailed repor' to your company on my return to Sc attle, but at this time I will state thai with the numerous beds of good qual ity sub -bituminous outcropping on the property, you should be able to suppl! fuel needs of Interior Alaska at prlc so that people will not hesitate tt change from wood to coal and also b. the means of promoting extensive IF dustrial development where cheap fue is a factor.
 s'The extra thick beds of coal or your property might be little m1sleaC ing from a standpoint of estimating coal mining costs. You will find that when you come to develop your prop orty, that numerous items of cost will creep in from time to time that you will little suspect at this time, but also believe that you will be able to mine the coal at low enough price Ito encourage the re-opening of the nlacer deposits of the Interior of Al aska.
 "There is sufficient coal in sight on the property to last for great many years without sinking below the water level and with systematic methods of mining employed, a very large per centage of this coal will be recovered
 "The coal, although not of as high grade as the naval coal at Chickaloon will be mined at much lower price and with properly constructed burning equipment, very good results should be obtained. It will no doubt interest you to know that the Union Pacific Rail road in the State of Washington, is burning coal of inferior quality on it's railroad and getting very good re- suits. Locomotives and power plants can be so equipped that this coal will prove very satisfactory.
 "It will require little education or the art of the average consumer to be come accustomed to using coal after wood has been used so long,"
