THOUSANDS SPENT
 FOR DEVELOPMENT
 EVAN JONES MINE
(Anchorage Times)


 Gratifying progress is being made in driving the new tunnel on the Evan Jones Coal company's property at Jonesville, and three new seams of coal have been cut so far, according to J. E. Rockefeller, superintendent of the mine. MT. Rockefeller stated work is being pushed as rapidly as condi- tions will permit and it is expected that the job will be completed in about sixty days. Five hundred and sixty l five feet of tunnel remains to be driv- en and the six men employed are av- eraging about ten feet day. The three veins so far cut lie at an angie of about thirty degrees, which in sures easy working. They expect to cut four more, which will give the company total of eleven veins. The new seams are four, five and six feet in thickness. The company intends to begin development work on them as soon as the tunnel work is finished, ac- cording to MT. Rockefeller.
 "There are about 225,000 tons of coal consumed in Alaska yearly, ac- cording to the Capps report" MT. Rockefeller said. "With the develop ment work now going on, the time is not far distant when this company will be in position to supply almost all of that demand. The people of the Terri tory are overlooking bet when they fail to agitate for the purchase of AL aska coal by government and other 1 agencies throughout the territory.
 "The Matanuska coal is every bit as good as the coal produced in Washing ton, and noticed recently when bids were called by state officials for furn- ishing fuel, a clause was carried which provided that Only coal produced in the state would be accepted. Institu- tions in the Territory should be urged to buy Alaska coal exclusively.
 If all the money now being spent for fuel in Alaska could be kept at home and the majority of the coal fur nishsjd from the Matanusa region, it would mean monthly payroll for the region of approximately $78,000. This amount would go far toward insuring the future of the coal mining industry | in Alaska.
 MT. Rockefeller said there are no men employed in the mine at present. A new 75 kilowatt direct current gen. orator has been installed recently and the company has called for bids for motors to be used in electric haulage.
 A new cleaning plant is now under course of construction. Sixty-two thousand feet of lumber will be used in the structure which will be 50 feet high and forty by thirty feet square. Another coal drier of 15O tons capacity will soon be built, which gives the mine 9 daily drying capacity of 300 tons.
 Another improvement to be made soon is the i9stallation of Raxila mining machine. The machine will cut ninety inches deep on a sixteen foot face in one hour. A light shot of powder will bring down the coal with out breaking it up. In addition to a material saving in powder and labor the new machine will considerable in- crease the output of lump coal for commercial consumption.
 MT. Rockefeller stated the improve ments under way and contemplated at Jonesville will cost in the neighbor- hood of $85,O0O.
