ANCHORAGE. ALASKA. SATURDAY. JUNE 10. 1016.
ENTIRE COAL FIELD OPEN TO LEASE.
Contrary to The general V-eliet. the federal government has
witudrcwn from least out a very small area of the Matanuska
t,nd Dering river coal held'. Tie-re ha-- been surveyed over
_'(mi sections of 64" acre- each, and under the law tlie Pepart
ment of the Interior i> authorized to withdraw nineteen of
the>e sections, but it has not done so.
Mine Inspector Sumner S. Smith, w- o : a- been in eonter
cne with Secretary Lane in rob ren<- * to the leasing regula
tions. is of the opinion that the entire field, with the exception
f government reservations, wib be open to lease. Applicants
can _ 1 uj•> >n the ground and designate any area they desire to
lease, subject of course to the usual mode of procedure.
The regulations governing the leases are based upon the idea
of the immediate development of the coal fields on an exten
sive -■•ale and to prevent 'peculator- front getting hold of the
land. Those who are willing to spend the most money on the
devel • mine will be given the preference in the
granting >-f lease.-. In our local columns today will be found
siderable information on the coal leases, as furnished bt
Inspector Smith, who believes that this *’uel can now be mined
on a workable ba-is and an important resource of Alaska fully
developed.
Tonight the Daily Times newsboys will be given a “movie”
party, with all the trimmings—ice cream and cake—which are
so dear to the hearts of the “kiddies.”
"With the settlement of the longshoremen's strike on Pacific
roast towns the merchants and public generally of Alaska will
rest easier, as it means that futuie shipments of freight will
no longer be tied up on the Seattle docks.
The work of laying sidewalks on the different cross-streets
is being prosecuted as rapidly a- lumber is received, and this
improvement is adding to the value of real estate as well a'
enhancing "he general appearance of the town.
All that is now necessary to make the opening tomorrow of
Recreation Park a big success is warm weather. The grounds
have been put in excellent shape and for the initial game of
basebail to be played there has aroused considerable interest,
guaranteeing a large turnout of fans.
The local fire department has made a wise selection in the
naming of Ray C. Larson as fire chief. He is one of Anchor
age's aggressive young business men who is foremost in every
public movement for the welfare of fhe community and being
greatly interested in the work of the department will make a
very capable and efficient official.
It is seldom that a newspaper is credited with bringing such
good results from it* advertising that a single insertion of
two lines causes the owner of in article offered f>>r sale to be
overrun with buyers. The Times had this experience yester
day, when it received word from Mr. Fred Fenton to discon
tinue hi- classified advertising. as F -old 1 1- Victrola the day
the ad. appeared and people are- 'till coming around to buy
what he no longer possesses.
According to information received fr- n arrivals on ye-ter
day’s -learner, practically the whole of Southeastern Alaska,
with th" exception of Skagway, voted in favor of continuing
wet. This includes the towns of Juneau. Ketchikan, Haines
and Wrangell. Under a ruling ot the district court it is neces
sary for the people of any community, where application has
been made for a liquor license, for a majority of the residents
to ex) tress themselves in favor of the 'ale of liquor, before a
license will be issued.
