COAL CLAIMANTS
WANT A REFUND
An application has been received
in the Juneau land office for the re
turn of money paid to the govern
ment by J. G. Mack, J. R. Rogers,
Ella Barber, H. L. Pittock and Ma
thilda Burke as the purchase price
of coal claims situated In the Mata
ntiska coal fields.
The original applications for patent
of the first four claimants mentioned
were finally rejected by the commis
sioner of the general land office on
October 4, 1912, upon charges filed
by the commissioner of the general
lasd office on October 4, 1912, which
were filed by a special agent, alleg
ing that the coal mine had not been
j opened and developed on each of the
claims, and also that the claims had
■ j not been located for the use and
benefit of each of the parties whose
names appeared as locators. These
claims were part of the famous
Rathbone group of claims.
At the time of the hearing of the
charges no answer was made by the
claimants and a default decision was
signed by the commissioner. The lo
cators recently applied to the com
. missioner of the general land office
for a reopening of the cases and a
repayment of the purchase price.
The application has been granted,
and the moneys will be repaid to the
original claimants. The sum amounts
' to $10,439.
RUMORED SALE OF
There was recently a rumor pub
lished in the Alaskan and Seattle
papers to the effect that a big steam
ship merger was likely to be pulled
off, but this is emphatically denied
by one of the interested parties, the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
which has just issued the following
circular letter:
“From time to time for the past
two years persistent and malicious
falsehoods have been circulated,
seemingly originating at Seattle,
Wn., that the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company or its principal ves
sels, the Congress, President and the
Governor, were about to be sold or
acquired by the Pacific-Alaska Navi
j gation Company.
“These stories, which, in spite of
continued denials, are periodically
renewed, found their latest publica
tion on June 1st, and were widely
copied by various newspapers. No
doubt you have seen the articles.
“We are advised by Mr. Wm. M.
Barnum, president of the Pacific
Coast Company, New York, and also
by the president of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, Mr. J. C. Ford,
and its vice president, Mr. E. C.
Ward, that there are no negotiations
now pending with the Pacific-Alaska
Navigatios Company, nor any other
company, looking toward the sale of
the President, the Governor or the
Congress, or contemplating any
change whatever in the ow-nership,
! operation or control of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company.
“Wo are instructed to give the ut
most publicity to a vigorous and ab
solute denial. You are, therefore,
authorized and requested to flatly
and absolutely deny such false ru
mors and to use your utmost efTort
to ascertain and report to us their
origin.”
; BERING RIVER COAL MINE
READY TO SHIP COAL
W. H. Dugdtfle, of Katalla, has
started work on the McDonald coal
mine near Katalla, and work has
progressed to a point where he Is
now taking orders for delivery to
Katalla residents for domestic pur
i poses.
Arrangements have been com
pleted for bringing the coal down the
river to Chilcat, where launches can
get It easily. The coal is described
as a good grade of steaming coal.

COMING TO THE FRONT
Things in the Shushapna are look
ing better all the time, and indica
tions are that the camp will continue
to improve, according to a letter re
ceived from Grant Reid, a miner now
in that camp.
Reid says that good pay has been
struck on both Gold Run and Big
Eldorado, and both creeks are ex
pected to make a good showing. The
dump taken out by E. R. Behling. at
the jusction of Poorman’s gulch and
Gold Run, contains much good dirt,
and it is expected that it will wash
up at least <6,500.
Reid does not refer to the strike
on Foley creek, which is about 20
miles from the old Shushanna dig
gings, but work cannot be prosecut
ed until machinery is placed on the
ground, and it is probable that noth
ing new has been learned about the
discovery.—Cordova Times.
