<Ry Alaska N'fwi F?reau.)
CHICAGO Oct. 2S ? Secretary of
iho Interior Waller L. Fisher. made
a very eloquent address before the
XmerUan Mini up Congress. which is
now in convention in this city, at the
afternoon session yesterday
St-, rotary Kosher suggested that the
Government should own and operate
the coal mines of Alaska, as well at
the transportation facilities on a
sniaJl sca!>
He said he would at once operate
certain coal claims in Alaska, using
them as models for the operation of
subsequent claims whicJi would be
opened up.
The coal from the Matanuska
fit Ids should be brought to Seward.-'
sci ui Mr. fisher, "for use in a Naval
Coaling Station which should be lo
cated there The mine should be op
crated by the government so as to
furnish information as to the grade of
the coal, the value of it. and the ex
tent thereof. Thin would also serve
as a check upon illeeaj profits which
nii-rht be &sk?d by individual miners,
operating under the leasing system "
Secretary Klnher said that he
*poke officially and with the know
Mice and consent of {?resident Taft
"The Alaska coal Is of great value"
he continued, "but In my estimation
the extent and character of the coal
b.ds have beeri greatly exaggerated."
The secretary dwelt at great length
u;>in the Controller Bay controversy,
and said that it would only be at
enormous expense that it could ever
be made a practicable harbor
Referring to hi* recent trip to A1
aska. he was loud in his praiae of
thr people of the territory, and stat
ed emphatically that in his opinion
Ma<k* *as entitled to Territorial
pn>ernment. as it would be better ad

n^eds of the people of \ia*ka Ujat
