|C0AL |s DISCOVERED
 CLOSE TO ANCHORAGE

Coal of apparently good quality has been located close to Anchor age on the shore of Cook Inlet by Robert Foster, who returned to the rail belt recently after an absence of a number of years. Some of the samples obtained by the To- cater are thought to be camel coal, reports the Anchorage Times.
 The discovery was made by MT. Foster in 1916 but owing to the difficulty of obtaining permits at that time, the coal was covered up and left to await more set tied condition of the permit situa- tion. Application has not been made by MT. Foster and if all goes we'll in his negotiations with the government, he will begin devel- opment next spring.
 The discovery was made by acci- dent. MT. Foster became marooned , on the flat in a small boat and while awaiting a return tide he observed a piece of hanging wall with some coal adhering to it.. Going on the theory that the coal had been pulled to the surface by anchor ice, he began poking around in the mud with a bar and located the seam. Further investigation convinced him of the presence of considerable body of coal.
 The find was made in the vicin- ity of the mouth of Chester Creek.

HOOVER MARINE
POLICY IS HIT

The apparent reluctance Of the
Hoover Administration to use
Marines in protecting American

a new demand for the withdrawal

excuse for the maintenance Of
Marines in the country.
