gin the preliminary work of the sur-l
vey which Is to be thorough In every
detail.
George Rvans who accompanied
Secretary Fisher on his trip to Al-j
aska has been named an one of the.

It Is believed that the expedition j
Is being mitde for the purpose of
setting aside certain coal fields for
the use of the government and that
mines will be opened and operated
by the government so far as Is need
ed In supplying the navy on the
Pacific coast with steaming coal. It
seems to be a beginning on the part
of the government to change its pol
