 About a year ago the Department of Justice wrote letters to various District Attorneys, U. s. Marshals, Clerks of the Court, etc., in Alas ka, that gladdened their hearts with the information that effective July 3, 1880, their salaries would be advanced $2OO. They received the advance and properly expended it, but were startled couple of months ago to receive communi- cation from Comptroller General McCarl stating that this advance had been made under the Brook hart" Act, which was not applic- able in this instance, and intimat- ing they would have to blow back the advance. The officials at Fair banks referred the matter to Dele gate Wickersham, who took 1t up with the Comptroller General and the Attorney General. As a result the latter has issued an order mak- ing an Administrative Increase" which will be respected by the Comptroller General, and the Alas ka officials will not be expected to return the past years advance.

 For some weeks past the General Land Office has been wrestling with proposition as to whether or not to lease Unit No. in the Matanus- ya coal field. and to give an ex- ploration permit for Unit Mo- 3. A lease had been given several years ago, but it was cancelled Now the applicants are Jesse Lander, Henry Baxter, Bartley Howard, E. H. Ras- mussen and Frank Colobufalo. The Land Office officials have been sur veying all the facts that surround the matter, in the effort to know just what to recommend to the Sec retary of the Interior. It may be that some of the applicants have a prior claim for lease and then again it may be decided to adver- tise for bids, with certain stipula tions, and let the highest and best bidder take the permits It is ,eX- pected that coal from No. ? Unit with greater depth, will show 3 higher value than heretofore.

however, are expected to remain
