from Jonesville to Seward was S2 per ton, and now the rate is S3.50 per ton: from Suntrana to Seward the rate was $3 per ton and now is s4.50. It is maintained that the advanced tariff must necessarily have a deterrent effect on the ship ment Of coal from the Matanuska mines to Seward, Cordova and Southeastern Alaska. Most of these ports are now supplied with British Columbia coal. to the extent of about 6O.000 tons per year. An other complaint is because of the inadequate facilities available at Seward for the handling of large quantities of coal, the need of bunkers causing a reduction in shipment and consequent loss of revenue to the Alaska Railroad.

 The Department of the Interior has given out the preliminary re- port of the Geological Survey on mining activities of the past sum mer in the Alaska Railroad belt. In the last appropriation made by Congress the sum of S250,000 was specifically set apart for this ex- p4oration work, which has shown the existence of valuable coal fields and important reserves of precious metals. The section of the an- rouncement summarizing conclu- sions form the survey, issued by the Department of the Interior. follows:
 As the result of intensive studies last summer of the mineral re- sources of the belt tributary to the Alaska Railroad, the Geological Sur vey announces that that region contains important reserves of gold, silver. lead, and zinc. large de- posits of subbituminous and bitu- minous coal and possibilities that there may be an anthracite field If commercial importance Gold ode mining is being actively car ried on in a number of camps, and several Of these show great promise of increased production from mines already operated and from other lodes so far undeveloped.
 The investigations in the rail road belt. the preliminary results of which are here announced, were made under a special appropria tion to the Alaska Railroad for the purpose of determining the possi- bilities of the several districts for furnishing tonnage from their min eral resources to the railroad over period of years. and the investi- gations were confined solely to dis tricts in which lode deposits or coal were known to exist. Nine separate projects were organized under the general direction of $. R. Capps, with individual geologists assigned to Fairbanks, Kantishna, Mount Eielson Copper Mountain), Valdez Creek and the West Fork of the Chulitna River. Willow Creek, Girdwood, Moose Pass. the anthracite field of the upper Mat anuska Valley, and a general sur vey of the nonmetallic resources Of the region other than coal. In ad- dition the Eva Creek mine was ex- amined. and other metallic lodes were visited
 The scope of the field work in- cluded a careful examination of all accessible mines and prospects; the construction of mine maps where none were already available; the detailed study of geological struc- ture as it affects the distribution of ore bodies: the determination of the mode of occurrence of metallic minerals in the lndes, with special attention to the presence or ab- sence of surface enrichment; the mD'ing of ore bodies to determine their size and value; and the col lection of all information th night, hnln in predicting the proba- ble depth to which ore might be expected to extend. These studies required the preparation of sDe ial topographic maps in the Kantishna, Mount Eie'son, Girdwood and An thracite Ridge areas.
