BAlN WAS NOT FIRST.

The discouragng statement made by H. Foster concerning the Matanuska coal fields is the first statement of the kind to be made by of high attainments and high place Dr. Hocomb, then oc- cupying the office that held by Director Bain, in 1910 told convention of mining engineers and metalurgists in New York that the indications that the Matanuska coal fields not promis ing. He thought they would not be able to veloI mines there that would produce coal in such quan- titles that it could be shipped into the markets of the world at a profit.
 Of course conservation claquers and townsite and other boomers immediately said that Dr. Holcomt made his statement for the purpose of developing public opinion that would easily consent to the ap- propriation of the property by the "Guggenhems" or other bogey-man outfit. That is what of them intmating to the statement of Director Bain.
 However, other mining engineers have differed with Dr. Hocomb and MT Bain Dr. Alfred Brooks and George Watkins Evans, the former very famous geologst and the latter very well known expert in coal have been hopeful almost of quite to the point of enthusiasm.
 The hope is general throughout Alaska, of course that events may disclose that Director Bain been too ave in his estimates and that Anchorage may yet develop into of the great coal shipping points of the country-the Newport News of the Pacific
