 tons of coal from twelve small mines
 and in 1928 about 100000 tons from the same number of mines.
 The largest quantity came from the Evan Jones mine. in the Matanuska
 field. and the Healy River mine. In
 the Nenana field. both served by the
 Alaska Railroad. The significant feature of the year is that the Ter
 ritory is supplying more and more of it's own fuel. F@
 Though some exploration of the high grade coal of the Matanuska and Boring River field was contin- ued in 1923, it has not yet been proved that these fuels can be mined cheaply enough to find an export market. Meanwhile.' evidence of the enormous reserves of lower grade bituminous and Ignite coals fn Alaska is accumulating each year s. R. Capps reports the finding Of workable beds of coal carrying about 60 per cent of fixed carbon at Mile 341 on the Alaska Railroad. This coal which has been opened up. occurs in the Cantwell formation. (Eocene), which is widely distrib- rtcd in this region and long known to carry small seams of coal. but this is tho, first bed found that has prov ed to be of commercial value. The bed mined is from to 6 feet thick. The discovery of the bed itself. is significant. as it is easily workable and very accessible. Of possibly greater significance is the proof Of the presence of a new coal-bearing formation near the railroad.
 Though the deveoIpment of Alas ka's very high grade coal has thus far been disappointing, there are yfst reserves of less fuel value in the Territory. and considerable percentage of these has been made accessible by the Government Rail- road. There can be no reasonable doubt that these reserves will even tually be drawn upon to supply the growing population of the Pacific I seabOard.
 There are enormous areas of coal bearing formations in Northern AL aska, though most of them are now too inaccessibte to be utilized. Will liam T. Foran, of the Geological Survey, who last summer explored the Arctic iittorat be! tween Cape Beaufort and Wainwright Inlet. found evidence of northern and and inland extension of the Corwin ccaI beds. MT. Foran found some gently folded coal beds on kokpow- ruk River, , or 6 miles from the coast. which dip from 20 to 40 de grees and are not broken. Some r. beds were seen. to 10 feet thick. Though not yet analysed. these coals appear to be of the quality of the Corwin coals. which are .sub-bi- luminous. This. part Of the Arctic coast is accessible to vessels from 7 to 5 months. and it affords better shelter than that at Corwin. These coals, which are probably of Juras- sic age, might be utilized to supply Nome and Northern Siberia.

BRITISH MAY BAN SCRIPT
AS COURSE IN SCHOOLS

LONDON, July 2s.@The question
whether children shall or shall not,
be taught to write script" Is again
agitating the scholastic world Of
Britain.
The Folkstone Education Com.
mittee has just registered an EN-.
phatic protest against script. II
was stated that children were un-
able to sign their names under this
system. and that the savings banks
refused to accept signature in
script" when children wished to
withdraw their money.
It was also pointed out that q
signature on = legal document In
script" was not accepted unless
witnessed. Several members ar.
gued that script" took away the
character Of q persons handwriting.
The committee clerk informed the
meeting that Script was intro
duced into England. from the
United States and was adopted by
the board Of education, which had,
however. subsequently lost all its
initial enthusiasm for It.
Although there were strong argu.
ments put forward IN favor 81
script" on account Of It's legibility,
the committee decided to petition
the. board Of education to have ii
abolished IN schools.
