By signing a contract to build 1,100
miles of railway for China, says the
Wall Street Journal, the American
International Corporation has laid the
groundwork for big future profits.
The financing of such an undertaking
involving possibly $100,000,000, should
result in enormous profits to the com
pany undertaking it and the bankers
have obtained satisfactory terms.
Profits from the transaction, ap
parently, will not accrue to the com
pany from financing alone, as it has
an interest in the Siems-Carey Rail
way & Canal Company, which is un
dertaking the construction of the line.
Financing of this deal is likely to
be followed by another contract for
the dredging 6f the Grand Canal.
Must Wait for Profits.
It will be some time before any
profits at all are reaped, as it may
be eighteen months before construc
tion of the lines already contracted
for are started.
It is probable that American In
ternational may secure an even larger
railway construction contract in Rus
sia. That country is planning a 12
year building program to open up
her oil, coal and ore fields as well as
to develop her immense wheat areas,
and it is expected that she will turn
to the United States for capital to
carry out this program if it is decided
upon. While no estimate of the cost
of building these lines can be made at
present, it is certain that it would in
volve millions of dollars and there is
good reason to expect that American
International, which has had agents
in Russia investigating the possibili
ties of American investment there,
will get a large slice of the financing
if it cares to handle it.
American manufacturers of railway
material will unquestionably benefit
materially from the construction of
China’s railways by American inter
ests. To lay 1,100 miles of 65-pound
railway, single track, something like
125,000 tons of rails alone will be
- needed. To this must be added spikes
jg and other track material. Tools,
1 bridge building material and other
= needs will call for a large tonnage
5 both of raw' steel and of articles made
jj from steel, and finally will come the
I main items of motive power and roll
» ing stock.

(Valdez Miner)
Wm. H. Caswell, who has spent the
past summer in the Bering river coal
country, is authority for the statement
that the Bering river section will come
rapidly to the front as a producer of
the highest grade of fuel. During his
stay there Mr. Caswell has had every
opportunity to investigate the coal re
sources of the district and is well qual
ified to speak on the subject.
The Alaska Petroleum & Coal Co.,
is operating on the property formerly
known as the Lippy-Davis claims', to
which one patent has been granted,
and have already blocked out a large
amount of anthracite coal of the high
est grade. Some years ago develop
ment work was started on these claims
but following the withdrawal of the
coal lands by the government work
was discontinued. This summer the
old workings were cleared out, and
the tunnels extended to about 300 feet
into the mountain, developing a 14
foot vein of anthracite. The tunnel
was run under the vein, leaving the
fuel untouched, but ready for rapid
and economical mining when occasion
warrants. During the winter a crew
of men will be engaged in further de
velopment of the mine and also in get
ting out timbers for bunkers at the
mine, and also for bunkers of about
5,000 tons capacity at the tidewater
terminal of the railroad now being
constructed. By the time the railroad
is completed, probably about the first
of next September, the company will
have out a huge supply of coal ready
for shipment both to the states and to
Alaska coast points.
