C0AL. MI|V||VG DEAL. NAY bE: CLOSED IN
 CHICKALOQ|V AREA
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE FIND AL ASKA PRODUCT JUST RIGHT
 FOR GLASS MAKING

Finding the semi -bituminous coal
 of the Coal Creek Coal Co.,, owned
 by R. s. Hockey of Chickaloon suit
 able to their needs, a big San Fran
 cisco glass making company may
 take over the Hockey lease-hold at
 an early date and open the Coal
 Creek property on a large scale. For
 the purpose of glass making the so-
 called blacksmith coal from the Hockey lease is practically ideal in the coke it produces with only sev-
 en to nine percent ash and one-half Of one percent sulphur mine run
 According to Government tests it is Itie best in the United States, and German coal of an inferior grade to the Alaska article brings $87 a ton for the coke in San Francisco.
 The Investigations of the glass corporation of the Golden Gate was initiated last year and was resumed again this past summer, their rep resentative having gone Outside re- gently to report to his company. It is understood that they were pre- pared to make a very substantial offer for the lease last year had the rapers been in the shape they wanted them. This defect has now been cured, MT. Hockey says, so it is very likely that negotiations will go thru to a successful conclusion.
 The Hockey property lies across the Matanuska from the mouth of the Chickaloon and about two miles in an air line south of Chickaloon. It lies across Coal Creek from the old Navy workings.
 Under the name of the Coal Creek Coal Co.,, Hockey started working there in 1923. He is now in 800 feet with gangWay and coun- ter, working in coal all the way, on q vein that is 40 inches at the head ing. There is another vein 40 feet to the south 52 inches in width and S ill further south 120 feet is a third vein six feet, four inches in width. These constitute three excellent beds of coal, dipping into the earth at a convenient angle for mining with a tonnage in sight of 1500,0a0 tons while there are 20000,000 tons in the district figuring from the re- suits of the navy drilling which To- cated coal at a depth of 1900 feet with a diamond drill
 Tt is easy enough for me to sup ply jall the market will absorb said MT. Hockey just before leaving for Chickaloon yesterday. "The Alaska Railroad takes about 2n0 tons a year for foundry purposes and fer making coke to heat pas senger coaches. I sell some to the Fairbanks Exploration Co.,, the Nell son Foundry at Fairbanks and to O'Neil at Cordova who retails it. But at that, can hardly dispose of more than 300 tons in a year, de- spite tie fact that it is a better ccal than the consumer can get from the Outside and will cost him less.

To the Boys
Who Use the
Stub Pencils

The politicians, all grades
and all factions, are coupling
their prophecies with the SIMS
ter proviso, eff they count the
votes"
There is a reason. Toe
many elections in this county
and city have been decided with
stub pencil instead of ballots.
This year there is the fear of
every candidate not Endorsed
by the boss who picks the cleo
ton of officials that there will
be not only stub pencils, but
gangs Of repeaters.
The Times just wants to drop
a word of warning to the boys.
1t wants to point to the crimi-
nal courts. Bad luck has fol
lowed lot of fellows who
obeyed the bosses and violated
the laws. Some of them are in
Jail. More are going.
This election will be watched
rather closely. The Times is
interested more in an honest
election than it is in the result.
The people will want to know
about the officers at the polls,
especially the inspectors.
There still are few vacant
cells in Leavenworth and At
lanta.
1t will be just too bad if
some of the boys who were so
bold in the CID days, dig up
their stub pencils this year.

No Gain for Children
Thus the purpose of the daylight
saving ordinance to give the people
more time to be out in the daylight
would be defeated so far as the
65, 900 school children is concerned,
since they would be getting out an
hour later by the clock.

a client and then decided to SUBJ
