SOURCE OF OUR LOCAL COAL

Many people find 1t difficult to understand how an immense bed of coal, similar to the large beds of Ignite near Healy, can originate from the accumulation of vegetable matter, such as moss, leaves, trees, etc. The College has just received from MT. E. W. Calderhead of Liz nite Creek fossilized segment of a tree trunk, which he found embed ded in one of the coal seams. This fossil is in reality now Ignite coal but the texture of the work, wood fibre and many knots are so well pre- served that they indicate that the original tree was no different from the present day Alaska conifers; pos slbly spruce, cedar or tamaraCk. The fossilized remnant suggests that the original tree was probably two feet or more in diameter.
 After this tree died 1t would have routed away from exposure to the air had it not been buried be- meath the water of some ancient bog. AccumulatiOns of other vegetable swamp remains were also collecting at the bottom of the bog, otherwise there would be no present day de- posit of coal at this point.
 The accumulation was first In the form of peat and was converted into Ignite coal, first because sand was washed in the bog to cover the pat also because the weight of the over lying sand and subsequent pressure and heat from the gentle flexing of the earth's crust in the Healy river area, expelled part of the gases and left behind the residue of the Ignite.
 Many small rounded grains of white sand can be noticed filling the specimen sent the College. This very fine sand mixed with the wood fibre accounts for most of the ashes which are accumulating today in the ash pits of the Fairbanks stoves and furnices. If nature had been less generous with this ash. many dutiful husbands of Fairbanks would be spared the questionable pleasure these "crimpy" mornings of flashing outdoors attired ih bothrobe. and slippers to empty a pan of ashes and thereby sive the steve more breath, ing space.
 It is estimated from ordinary de, position of swamp vegetable matter in bogs that it requires the accumu lation of roughly two hundred years to yield a thickness of one foot oi coal. Some of the coal seams neal Healy exceed thirty feet in thickness Coal seams of such thickness are not common. Unless this process al Healy proceeded with great intensity we must assume that the larger coa measures represents a swamp accu mutation over a period of at leas i've thousand years.-News-Miner
