NEW COAL PROPERTY HAS
 SHOWING OF HIGH GRADE

The coal property recently ac- quired by the Mt. Mckinley Bit luminous Coal Corporation, on the Alaska Railroad at Mile 341, prom ises to become a heavy producer of high grade fuel in the near future, according to officials of the corporation, who made trip to the property during the week. The company has expended several thou sand dollars in prospecting work on the several seams lately and those interested are very enthusiastic ov- CT the outlook The claim contains 2.56Q acres and includes number of seams of nigh grade coal
 Development work during the last sixty days has been concen- trated on one seam. A prospect tunnel has been driven S5 feet on the vein and, al the face, shows nine feet of very high grade steam coal The seam at that point pro bably is much thicker as no walls were shown The vein has been proven by prospecting to extend the full width of the claim and conservative estimate of the amout of coal in this one seam would b. TWO and one-half million tons. The coal has been carefully assayed and many practical tests made. These are said to show the quality to be superior to any coal thus far dis covered in Interior Alaska, being very high in carbon, low in mois- ture and ash, and suitable for any purpose requiring an exceptionally high grade fuel. *:.... # :..
 The company has decidedd 10 be gin the actual work at once and has small crew at work driving a working tunnel near the railroad 4 spur will be put in. coal bunkers built, mess and bunkhouse erected and everything put in shape for the permanent working of the mine.
 The location of the property is ideal for economical mining of coal, being close to the railroad, with many acres of the finest mining timbers close at hand, and an ab- undance of spring water available.
 The seam is verticle nd the only coal that will be shoveled is that which will have to be moved in driving the tunnel.
 At present all of the stock in the corporation is owed by local busiess men, and those who visit ed the property this week are en- thusiastic over the outlook.
