MINING IF COAL
 ALONG RAILROAD
 SHOWS INCREASE
OUTPUT OF MINES SHOWS GAIN FOURTEEN PER CENT FOR
 FISCAL YEAR

ther through competitive bidding of coal mining in this portion of Alas as pointed out in the freight haulage over the railroad, the increase amount. ing to 145 per cent
 The most important development was the completion of the Alaska Matanuska's coal plant, situated at the end of the extension of the Moose Creek spur. This mine is just be- ginning to produce coal in conner cial quantities.
 The Premiar mine on the Moose Creek spur became involved in liti- gation, but was operated on small scale under receiverships, and recent ly secured a contract for 10000 tons of coal from The Alaska Railroad. Elf forts were made to combine the lease of this property with that of the Alas ka Matanuska company, but are be- ing resisted by claimants against the Premier.
 Moose creek spur has ceased to oper
 The Baxter Bedell mine on the ate due to financial difficulties, which it is reported are rapidly being re- moved and which indicate that this mine will again enter the field with high-class product.
 The Rawson mine, on the extension of the Moose Creek spur, has produc ed very little coal owning to lack of development, but is preparing to open up it's seams and get into the market. Lack of sufficient capital is said to be the chief hindrance.
 The Evan Jones mine on the Jones' vile spur of the Chickaloon branch operated continuously except for short period in July and part of August of this fiscal year. They dis continued operations because their contract with The Alaska Railroad was for only a small quantity of coal. They have improved their plant and have added an electric motor for in- side hauling.
 The Ross Hockey mine, which pro- duces a higher quality of blacksmith and cooking coal, and is operating on Coal creek, just below Chickaloon, are producing on limited scale, but sufficient to meet local demands for that quality of coal.
 The Healy River Coal corporation, operated continuously except for few occasions when repairs or i'm improvements were being made. They have made a number of extensive i'm provements including construction ot tipple and coal bunkers, and have pro- vided an electric motor for inside haulage. There has been some 1n- crease in the consumption of coal for domestic and industrial purposes, due in part to increased industrial activi- ty, chiefly on account of coal replac- ing wood as fuel, but the increase has been offset by decreased coal con- sumption on The Alaska Railroad, due to conservation of fuel and more eff cient operation, resulting in S7,772 tons being mined this year as against 92,27O tons last year. The use of coal at the power plant of the Fairbanks Exploration company, and the addi- tional use of coal in dredging opera tions offers a most promising field for increased tonnage.
 There is reason to believe that there will be gradual increase in the use of coal for mines along the rail
 road, and in Southeastern Alaska and

SEWARD ITEMS
TWENTY YEARS AGO

| James O. Buzard, a heavy mining
 operator of the Cook Inlet country, returned to Seward from Hope on Wednesday. He will visit the Port
 Dick gold-copper property that he re- gently bonded for his syndicate. Mills & Hunt have sold their placer
 property at the forks of Six-mile can. yon, eight miles from Sunrise, to
 eastern people. It is understood that. the consideration was $5OOOO. Nelson Brother and Charles Kreft- ing have formed co-partnership as
 contractors and builders. Every one here knows these enterprising young
 men. In their industry they have aid ed wonderfully in the upbuilding of Seward. Like all others who are up to date, they make themselves known by the aid of printers ink. Recent arrivals from Fairbanks re- port that the Bonnifield section, the new district recently discovered about 50 miles from Fairbanks, is expected to turn out we'll. There are several hundred men in the new district, and they are we'll supplied with provisions for the winters work. It is estimated
 that there will be TOO holes sunk to
 bedrock on the creeks before spring.
 The Bonnifield section is summer dig
 gings and comparatively shallow.
 There is no muck to hold the frost
 and the gravel thaws out early in | the season.
 Louis Rhodes, formerly heavily in- terested in Bonanza creek (Klondike)
 properties, is in Fairbanks, looking
 for an opportunity to invest in min ing.
 Late news from the Tanana coun- try is to the effect that very rich dirt is being discovered on many creeks.
 On Fairbanks creek five pans of un- | selected dirt from a dump yielded S150, and $7 pans of dirt are being found on Alder gulch near Cinema.
 prospected show 10 per cent pans
 near the surface.
 The town of Fairbanks levies no LdACS Ou ICdl VI pC4 oOud1 p1OpCI y.
 The federal license moneys which go to the municipality are more than sufficient to cover the cost of running
 the city government and the schools
 Miners in the employ of the Bartels Tin Mining company have brought reports to Nome to the effect that they have struck a lead of tin in number of places where they have been prospecting about Cape York. The company is we'll pleased with the progress made, and expects to mine on a big scale next season.

CANCER DUE

MILDEW FORM
Mildcwed Food Is Source Of
Most Diseases. French
Professor Says

Paris. April 27~-(AP) Cancer is
due To an abnormal form Of miidew,
in the opinion Of Professor J. Tissot,
Of the Paris National History Mu-
scum. He claims he has taken healthy
human tissue and transformed it so
that cultures develop cancerous clc-
mcnts. and that these elements can be
reproduced as easily as cultures Of
microbes.
The professors disclosures were
made in Il paper read before the Acad-
cry of Science.
All animal and vegetable organisms
arc nothing but highly developed or
ganjzcd mildew. in his view. He has
transferred bacterial cultures into
'mild"v. He has treated in this man
ner ,Iltures of typhoid. cholera.
:dip h"ria and other diseases and at
the same time isolated and photo
yraphed the basic mildcw of numcr
.ous animal and vegetable organisms.
He found the mldew which caused
typhoid identical with that Of the mil
dew of maize. malta fever that of the
orange. diphthcria that Of barley. and
Cholera that Of the poisonous mush-
rooms.
He found that the virus of meales
swas identical with the organism mil
dew Of lettuce. that Of scarlet fever
and rabies with the mildew of the car
rot. he virus of variola and small
poX that Of the potato.
Other Claims
1t Is claimed By Dr.. Tissot that he
has transformed tuberculosis cul-
lures into mildcw. Identical with that
of the human organism. This led him
(. to the conclusion that tuberculosis
develops spontaneously in man. al.
though it can be transmitted by con
tamination.
II deduces that the sources Of mos
diseases are food bu<-ahat food is dan
gerous only when widowed or rotten
He has no remedies for the dis
eases he investigated. but thinks thai
epidemcs such as CHOLERA might b,
prevented by destruction OF po!sonou!
mushrooms in the woods and diph
iberia by emitting barley from chill
