Regulations for
Leasing Coal
Notice of the following change in
the regulations governing coal land
: leases in the Territory of Alaska, ap
I proved May 18, 1016, has been re
ceived at Anchorage:
Paragraph 1 of the regulations j
governing free coal mining permits
under Section 10 of the Act of Octo
ber 20, 1014, beginning on page 20 of
the printed copies of these regula
tions, the following statement ap
pear.-: “Owing to there being no set
tlement- or local industries in or ad
jacent to the liering or Matanuska
coal fields, and the contemplated eas
ing offer of coal lands in said fields,
these reguations and the permits pro
vided for shall not at present apply to
coal deposits in those fields.”
A circular under date of July 20,
issued by the commissioner of the
general land office, and approved by
the secretary of the interior, makes
the following statement: “In view of
the fact that coal lands for leasing
in Matanuska and Bering river fields
have been surveyed into leasing
blocks or tracts, I am of the opinion
that hereafter the restrictions in the
regulations should be construed as
applying only to those lands included
in such leasing blocks or tracts.”
A supply of circulars and changed
applications will be received at the
townsite office in an early mail. A
number of applications have been
filed with the register and receiver at
Juneau which were rejected because
of the above clause. People making
- these applications may make new ap
[ plications if the area is not within
1 the defined leasing units.
DENMARK IS FORCED
TO PAY INDEMNITY
j AMSTERDAM, August 14.—It has
| just been officially learned here that
) Denmark has been forced to pay a se
i cret indemnity to Germany which
j amounts to $22,400,000. This indem
i nity, according ot official advices, was
H on account of Denmark’s failure to
§ maintain strict neutrality.
| The offense is reported to have oc
= curred last winter. At that time the
Baltic was invaded by British subraa
5 fines. To enter the Baltic from the
1 North sea, it must have been neces
| sary for the submarines to pass
=; through Danish waters which were
! strongly guarded by the Danish forts.
1 Germany is said to have obtained
2 evidence that the English submarines
| could not have entered the Baltic
i without permission or connivance of
I the Danish government.
^ Advices further state that the Dan
5 ish government made a complete de
li nial, but the kaiser ordered the pay
]! I ment of the indemnity or he would
bombard the Danish coast no matter
5 i what the consequences.
High water at Goldstream, in the
Fairbanks district, recently caused the
shutting down of mining operations.

of Greenstone creek, started up ten

Alaska to Have
a Fine Exhibit
at Land Show
< Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Alaska will in October make the
greatest exhibit of its agricultural re
sources at Seattle since the exposition
of 1909. Advices have been received
by .1. L. McPherson, manager of the
Alaska bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce, that Fairbanks will send
all the exhibits from the September
fair hi that city direct to Seattle for
the Northwest Land Products show
from October 4 to 14.
The Alaska exhibit will also feature
a display collected under the super
vision of Prof. C. C. Georgeson, of
Sitka, head of the United States ex
perimental stations in the northern
district.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the exposition Saturday Mr.
McPherson presented a letter from A.
S. Koch, secretary of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce. Secretary
Koch says:
“The writer is pleased to advise you
that he has been instructed to gather
an exhibit for the northwest land
products exposition, and you can be
assured that the exhibits will be the
best obtainable of the agricultural,
tishing and mining resources of this
section.”
Alaska will also have an opportuni
ty to compete for prizes in the open
classes, and it is expected that the
northern communities will carry away
some of the trophies, since the Alaska
climate is especially adapted to th<<
growing of root crops.
