Production of coal in the fields adjacent to the Alaska Railroad are keeping pace with the market de- mands, a survey of the situation, recently made at Anchorage, re- veals. Greater concentrated efforts are to be made the coming year to ! fill all Aalaska coal bins with the Alaska product which, if accom- plished, will mean increased reve- nue of many thousands of dollars to those regions effected
 A report of progress and develop ment at the mines, was given to the Gateway by J. J.

HEALY RIVER

The Healy River Coal Corp, at Suntrana, the largest producer of domestic coal, is now equipped with electric haulage motors and screen ing plants which equipment is equal to any first class equipped
 mine in the states. The fine, big ibunk-house and wash rooms are Isteam-heated and living conditions
 for the miner are said to be far better than many modern coal mines in the states
 Two horizontal boilers were in stalled a few weeks ago and much general repairing has gone forward in the mine proper, as well as on the outside. The installation of these boilers will increase the amount of power and with the elec- tric equipment the company is now
 in position to produce unlimited tonnage per day. The present pro- duction rate is said to be around 300 tons per day
 THE ESKA MINE The government property at Eska has, for the past month. been thoroughly gone over and repaired, inside and out, as well as upon the narrow and standard gauge tracks. This work is done annually for the purpose ot placing the mine upon a
 basis for immediate production in cases of emergency to indepen- dent concerns.
 THE JONES WILLIE MINE
 The Evan Jones mine at Jones' vile, owned by Anchorage interests, which has been one of the biggest factors in steady producers, has been closed down owing to being
 unsuccessful in obtaining a rail- road contract.

ANTHRACITE RIDGE

It is known from data available that there is semi anthracite in huge quantities in the Matanuska fields which, from analysis, is high fer in heat values and lower in ash content than that from Pennsyl- vania. While this coal-bearing area has been somewhat disturbed and faulty necessary prospect work will determine that there is sufficient tonnage to justify development and the probable expenditure for construction of railroad which would be at least 12 miles long.

This point was of particular in
terest to officials since United
States Attorney Edward E. Talbot
expressed the personal opinion that
the stiff resistance Of the Imalone
crew indicated the schooner also
was carrying a cargo of aliens, who
either were drowned or now were
held in the hold of the submerged
vessel.
Coast guard officers gave little
credit to this opinion, however, say
ing the ship probably was carrying
liquor and narcotics.
The proposed investigation to-
morrow will center particularly on
whether the schooner first was en-
countered within the 12-mile limit,
to determine if thee will be any
diplomatic complications with the
British government. If the chase
started within the limit, officials
said the guardsmen were within
their rightS-in in- .Tl1pning her down.
The cutter, bearing the Schooner's
crew in irons and the body Of a

KELLY RALLY
Doctor Gives Attacked Wes-
laco Man Even Chance AS
Hunt Continues

EDINBURG, March 23.-Claude
Kelley, Slugged at the home of his
tather-in-laM early lIy..,.1 TUESDAY, morn, !,
Ing by an unknown attacker, re-
manned in a critical condition at the
Medical Arts hospital here tonight.
DR.. j. M. DosS, who has attended
Kelley almost constantly since the
attempted murder said his patient
was doing as well as could be hoped
for under the circumstance"
The doctor added that he had
high hopes for the recovery of the
victim, although his skull was
crushed over the left temple by a
plunt instrument, leaving him para
lyzed in the arms and lower part of
the bondy and unable to speak. At
times, Kelley apparently has re-
gained consciousness.
Doctor Doss believes that should
Kelley live, he evtually will over
come the paralysis partially, but it
is possible that he may never regain
his speech.
City Marshal M. c. Galbreath of
Weslaco late Saturday night had not
given up the theory of an attack by
two negroes, seen in Weslaco the
night the bankers son-in-law was
dubbed. Supporters of this theory
were upheld by the fact that the
pair have not been seen since Mon
day night, but it is feared that the
hunt in this direction may prove a
hopeless chase.
Meanwhile, officers are anXiously
awaiting rally by Kelley that may
enable him to give a description OF
his Would-be slayer.
M. r. Hall, Cameron county at
torney, and Claude E. Kelley, who
was attacked in the home of his
father-inlaW, E. G. Couch, al
Weslaco early Tuesday. were college
mates at the University Of Texas
and they later were members Of the
Nixon, Texas, public school faculty
together.
Mr. Hall paid high tribute to the
character of the man attacked and
expressed assurance that his friend
never had wronged any man
Claude Kelley was a man of high
character, quiet and self possessed :
Hall said. HE was not man who
would attack anyone, but he was a
type sure to take steps to prevent
the robbery Of his home"
1t is Mr.. Halls theory that Mr.
Kelley awakened to find someone
in his room and that he was struck
down when he moved to capture the
prowler.
