ENGINEER WILL PASS JUDGMENT 0N MINES
 IN ALASKA RAIL BELT

During the coming summer Col Onel Ohlson, general manager Of the Alaska Railroad, will have at his disposal a qualified mining en- gineer whose duties it will be to visit prospects, give advice and as sist prospectors in development of their holdings.
 The engineer, Ralph Tuck, as
 signed by Washington exclusively to the railroad, is a thing Colonel Ohlson has desired since his arri- val in Alaska.
 While serving the industrial de- partment of the railroad MT. Tuck will be able to supply valuable ad- vice to the Alaska Road Commis- sion and Territorial road depart ment with respect to advisability for trails and roads to worthy mine prospects.
 This system is followed in Brit ish Columbia, where the Depart ment of Mines directs it's engin- eers to examinations on the re- quest of owners, advises the Works Department on the miners needs in the way of trails and transpor- tation, and acts as reference whenever the miner seeks to dis poco of hiS orO1n6
 Under this system simple blue sky law has been evolved. If a wild cater advertises or publishes mis- leading statements in order to sell stock, having direct knowledge Of the property the Department Of Mines simply issues a statement that the advertising is incorrect.
 MT. Tuck's connection with the railroad in the capacity of engin- ger will aid materially in assem- bling authentic data for dissemina- ton by the railroad in response to inquiries for mining investment.

DR|LL TESTS BE MADE ON WESTERN MOOSE
 CREEK IN COAL AREA

A contract is to be let this week for making drill tests of the west ern area of the Moose Creek bit luminous coal district, according to Col. o. F. Ohlson, who was in Sew ard between trains.
 Results in this field are expected to go far toward solving many of the problems in connection with coal production and marketing. If the beds believed to exist are ac- tually penetrated by the diamond drill they will be capable of sup plying unlimited quantities S of lump coal.
 This area has been under con- sideration by the U s. Geological Survey and J. J. Corey, mine in- spector and engineer of the Bur- eau of Mines. Theoretically the beds which now crop in M o C Creek proper are but uplifts from horizontal basal be d s extending westward and northWard fro m what is known as the Premier mine. In their horizontal embodiment the measures should not only be undis- turbed as are those in the higher and faulted horizons, but should contain a higher B. T. U. content, estimated to range about 13,000 to 15,O00.
 It is understood that others be- sides the Lynch outfit, who will drill on Anthracite Ridge this sum- mer, will bid on drilling the Moose Creek area Rapid progress is ex- pected to ensue in testing tn e ground, due to the proximity of the Moose Creek rail spur and easily accessible nature of the terrain, which is bisected by roadway leading to the Little Susitna river.
 It is also expected that the re- suit of this additional coal test will vitally effect the question of coal bunkers at Seward, in that Suff1- cient lump coal would be available to compete with similar product now coming from the States.
