 |s REPORTED COMPLT TED

A wire received in Fairbanks a
 few days ago from Frank Manley stated that the deal for the purchase of the Roth and Manley coal proper ties in the Healy River district by
 Dudley Bros, of San Francisco has
 been completed, reports the Fair banks News Miner. As was announc-
 ed two weeks ago in the Seward
 Gateway, Dudley Bros, plan to im- mediately build railroad spur to the mine and on the Seward end to erect huge coal bunkers. the plan being as far as is known, to have an output of 1000 tons of coal per day for ex-
 port to the States. This firm also
 plans to operate it's own fleet of steamships between San Francisco and the port of Seward.
 The amount involved in the sale is not known although it is supposed
 to be considerable, as the Roth-Man- lley mine contains extensive deposits of high grade cannal coal.

GAMBLING IN TRANCE

PARIS, July 29. (P)-Gan1bling is becoming gradually bigger industry in France every year
 The big wianings-and big losings that Deauville talked about last sum- r0er are likely to seem small change lwhen that luxurious resort reaches the height of it's season late in the summer.
 1 Deauville doesn't get we'll started until midsummer, when the millio- naires and would-be millionaires pour in from North and South America. Other beaches, nearer England, such as Le Touquet, begin raking in the pounds and francs at Easter. l This year all casinos on the Chan nel coast witnessed more gambling lon big scale at Easter than last. At Pentecost-or Whitsuntide, as the ] English call it-the Easter receipts were made to seem like pretty small takings. Games of chemin de fer went on all night at Le Touquet, some players staying until 8 a. m. A year ago the casino there was sell dom open until dawn. Banks of $10, 900 were not uncommon, and the win ming or losing of million francs at a sitting was no rare sight.
