Anchorage office, has been en- gagged in examining numerous prospects, both metallic and non- metallic, along the railroad belt
 Continued progress is being made in the Anthracite Ridge coal field, both in the preparation of the large scale topographic map by L. O. Newsome, and in the study of the geology by R. w. Richards. MT. Richards reports an area some five miles long and two miles wide in which croppings of coal occur, and though the character of the coal throughout that area has not yet been determined, and therefore cannot be presumed to be all anthracite, nevertheless his tentative pinion is that there may be at Anthracite an important area of high quality coal The complex geologic structures and the presence of abundant intrus- i've rocks, however, make the study of tn field relations difficult, and will doubtless. add to the difficult ties of coal mining.

FIRST REPORT 0N
 MINING AREAS |S
 PRESENTED PRESS
ALL NINE PARTIES IN FIELD MAKING SPLENDID
 PROGRESS
Especial to The Gateway

Especial to The GaJeWay)
 The intensive study of the min eral resources of the Alaska Rail- road belt, for which Congress made special appropriation during it's last session, is now well under way. This investigation is being carried out under the direction of the Geological Survey, and nine separate parties are at present in the field. In spite of an unusually late spring, and the consequent persistence of heavy snow banks in many of the higher areas, each of the party chiefs reports his work we'll started. Snce none Ot the geologists have yet received assay returns from the samples taken, no definite statement can yet be made concerning the ton mage of ore available at any prop erty, or of it's value.
 Ralph Tuck, in the Moose Pass district, has devoted most of his lime so far to a general recon naissance of the district, and a study of the geologic relationships of the mineralized areas. He re- ports that he has seen several veins that might warrant careful mining on a small scale, but so far none that would justify large scale development.
 Charles Park. geologist, and w. s. Carson, topographic engineer, working in the GirdWood district, report the pass at the head of Crow Creek and the area in the vicinity of the gold lodes there still blocked by snow on July l. Their topographic and geologic mapping of the district is, however, g0ing forward.
 J. c. Ray, in the Willow Creek district. reports increasing activity ia mining at the Lucky Shot mine, and active preparations for mining at several other properties. He is enthusiastic about the possibilities the camp, and believes that sev- eral properties not now being mined may later become product i've.
 c. P. Ross, in the Valdez Creek district, is out of communication and nothing has been heard from him since he left Cantwell.
 The topographic and geologic parties at Copper Mountain and in the Kantishna district had their work well started by June 20, but aS yet have no results to an- nounce.
 JIM. Mill, in the Fairbanks dis trict, has made a preliminary ex- animation of the prospects on Es- ter Dome, and is impressed with the abundance of gold bearing quartz veins there. He states. how
 
 ever, that most of the properties on which mining has been done have been worked by companies whose operations were hampered by lack of capital, and that mo- where has the proper amount of development work preceded actual mining. Only the better grade of ore has been taken, and there is very little developed ore blocked out for future mining. Abundant faults of moderate displacement have increased the difficulties of following the ore chuteS..

BELLEVUE HOTEL
RECEIVER ASKED
Minnie A. Strassner, Stock
holder in Company, Files
Court Petition.

Application was made today to the
District Supreme Court for the ap-
pointment of receiver for the Bellevue
Hotel, is E street, occupied and partly
owned by a number of Government en-
ployes, who formerly resided in the
Government Dormitories on Union
Station Plaza.
The petition is filed by Minnie A.
StraSsner, who resides at the hotel,
holds 81 500 of the second trust on the
property and owns both preferred and
common stock of the company, known
rs The Bellevue, Incorporated. One of
her notes is overdue, she says, and she
might request foreclosure but it would
not be to the best interests of the
creditors and other stockholders.
The hotel now produces a large in
come, the petitioner says, probably suf-
hcient in time to pay of the claims
of lien holders and creditors and leave
a residue for the stockholders If prop
erly managed.
A foreclosure, the court is advised,
would cause the hotel to be empti7d of
its tenants and dodgers and would
tend to the detriment of unsecured
creditors and stockholders. There is
a first deed of trust of $475,000 and a
second trust of 100000, while current
liabilities approximate $4,000, with
current assets of only few thousand
dollars, the court is informed.
Attorney Jesse C. Duke appears for
the petitioner.

cation of women, some $50 to 400 of
them, gathered yesterday in the cham

against granting Of jury service to
women before the Judiciary Committee.
They were led by Mrs. Henrietta D.

were not lot of bridge playing, idle,
duty-shirking women" but busy women,
"object to having the added burden of
jury service" put upon them.
Mrs. Rufus Gibbs, who appeared last
week as an opponent of any lifting of
the blue laws, presented petition bear
ing $500 names, directed against the
jury measure, introduced in the House
by Delegate Marvin harrington Of
Montgomery County by request.
The petition when unrolled stretched
from the speakers rostrum to the outer
door of the delegates chamber and on
into the corridor.
"This is produced to show that it is
only small group Of women who are
seeking the right to serve on jurieS,"
Mrs. Gibbs said
Mrs. James G. whitley, Democratic
national committeewoman for Mary
land, declared that no organized at
tempt had been made to gain sigma
lures and that all of the women whose
names were affixed to it had taken the
action voluntarily.
Mrs. whitley declared there was no
reason for imposing" jury service on
women and said that women as a whole
did not want the right, adding that
she believed the greater part of the
women of the State did not even know
of existence of the measure.
There are certain places where
women fit and some where men fit,"
she declared 1.-THE justice in Mary
land is far above that of many States
where mixed juries are used, and, aft
