The sale was a eonsummation of previous surveys and estimates of the possibilities of that district made by two of the eompany's ex- perts.

He is not new in Alaska mining enterprises since he was responsible for the activities of his corporation in the Fairbanks and Nome districts.

B. & O. TO SELL RIGHTS
ON COAL FIRM STOCK
Subscription Privileges Are Worth
$11,715,00o Currently in Read
ing Corporation.

BALTIMORE. August 24-The Bal.
tllnore and Ohio Railroad has set in
motion machinery for the sale of it's
b0b,b52 rights to subscribe to the stock
OF the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Corporation. The owner of
these rights has the privilege of sub
scr1bing to 21.3 per cent of the CAPITA
stock Of the coal and iron corporation.
The rights at the current market
price are worth more than S11,715 900.
The name of the prospective buyer
of the rights is not disclosed.
1t Is likely the rights will be dis
posed of by January I. 1927. which will
mark the expiration of the extension
of the time for converting them INTO
stock Of the coal and iron corporation.
1t is the prevailing belief that it
would be more advantageous for the
Baltimore and Ohio to sell it's rights
than to exercise them and sell the
stock of the coal and iron corporation.
The rights accrued to the Baltimore
and Ohio as a result of the segregation
of the Reading Railroad and coal prop
critics under decree of the United
States Court.
Sale of the rights would not affect
the Baltimore and Ohio's interest in
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road. The B. & 0. owns more than
20 per cent of the various classes of
stocks of the railroad. The New York
Central holds nearly as much. and 1t
is understood that the Is. & o. and the
Central have reached an understand
ing whereby the former will acquire
the latter's holdings.
1t is said that enough additional
stock has been secured in the open
market to- give the B. & O. a clear
majority Of the Reading issue.
