Saarela. "The necessity of better ing the grade of coal has been equally recognized, and the Evan Jones Coal Company in the Mata- nuska Field has just completed a new and ultra modern sink float coal washer which should io much towards bettering the quality of the coal in that area.
 Make Changes
 Tt can be expected that in an attempt to lower the price of coal a concerted effort to mechanic will be made by the operators in the Territory. In strip operations, mechanization has already taken place with the installation of sur face mechanical equipment of large size; however. underground oper- ations have heen slow to adopt the mechanical methods of mining. and 8 trend il this direction can be expected in the future

AlA5KA'S COAL PRODUCTION NIT
 ALL HIGH N 'ao

During the year I945 |9skan coal r-odu :tion stood at an all- time high ot 44O,00c ..J's, and 1850 will probably approximate this fig ure. Leo H. Saarela, Commissioner of Mines disclosed today
 The coal mining industry in the : territory is in good condition, lack .r.g only markets for unlimited ex- Iansion," saarela declared.
 Developments of the past year have indicated that the coal in- tluStry recognizes the problems that t re..ss face"
 Five Active Areas
 There are now tive areas of active production in the Territory, three of which have come into active development in the past year, the Mines Commissioner revealed The two main fields, the Healy Field, and the Matanuska Field continue to be the major producers, and will undoubtedly be the principal producers in the future; however, the three other areas of coal de- velopment have come into the lime light, he said, and an increasing
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-02-26

production can be expected from them as time goes on.
 The high tonnage in 1949 was produced mainly in the Healy Field and the Matanuska Field. In the Healy Field the underground oper- ations of the Healy River CoSi Corporation have produced the ma jor proportion of the coal consumed in the Panama Valley for the past 30 years. With the advent oi World War II, the Commissioner pointed out, the need of more oper- ations became serious, and strip mining became an important pro- Sucer insofar IS tho c2als of the Nenana FielG were anie7able to mining by stripping.
 For Defense Effort
 During the war the Usibelli Coal Mine. Inc, a new operation adja- cent to the Healy River Coal Cor poration, was started with Army assistance. The year 1850 has seen operation opening up, the Cripple Creek Mining Company, adjacent to the Usibelli property. This operation is also producing coal for the defense effort. Since the combined production cf these three operations is large, the ccal production potential is adequate to meet any demands, the Commis- sioner declared.
 In the Matanuska Field, which produces the high-grade bituminous coals of the Territory for the An
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-02-26

chorage area, the main producer for years has been the Evan Jones Coal Co.,, and most of the present production is being supplied by this operation The year 1850 has seen the reorganization of the Buffalo Coal Mining Co.,, on Moose Greek, and that operation is in active de- velopment-supplying small ton mage to the Palmer area which will no doubt increase. These coals in the Matanuska Field are the highest grade coals being mined in Alaska, and supply the highest Btu per pound.
 A new development west of the Matanuska Field near Houston on the Alaska Railrcad has supplied a substantial tonnage of semi -bitu- minous coal by strip operation. The Houston Coal Go. is presently in the process of reorganization with an active development program to open up the semi -bituminous coals Of that area.
 On the Kenai
 At the lower end of the Renal Peninsula nesr Homer, the Homer Coal Corp. instituted program of drilling darng 1850 with the idea of exploration and production of the considerable reserves that are known to exist in that community. It is thought that with the open ing O. the new Homer-Seward any potential market could be satisfied.
 In the Barrow Field a limited has been obtained from the Meade River Mine near Pt. Barrow where a small operation | has been conducted during the win ter months to supply coal for the schools, hospitals. and other insti- tutions of the Alaska Native Serv ice. Since operations are a con- siderable distance from the town of Barrow, and production is small, l the price is necessarily high, Sa- arela pointed out.
 "The operators of coal mines in Alaska fully realize the dangers from the inroads that fuel oil has made, and alXough coal is cheaper nor RtI from A cost StandpOint, | fuel oil has replaced coal in the smaller units near the coast" said !!
