E. Schink, who has Just returned
to Dawson from Chisana, says that
Judge Finnegan is meting out Bevere
sentences to offenders there, and is
determined to maintain the law and
order in the community. Mr. Schink
cites the following nistances:
“George Bunn, who mushed up
from Donjek, was charged with steal
ing a bale of hay belonging to my
firm, and, on being found guilty, was
sentenced by Judge Finnegan to five
months and twenty-nine days in Jail
at hard labor. We missed eight
bales of hay from Donjek, but when
Bunn reached the American side he
had but one in his possession, so that
was all we could charge him with tak
ing.
..
‘‘Ikey Meachem was found guilty
of stealing one onion, and was sen
tenced to six months in Jail at hard
labor. Ikey, however, was suspected
of a number of other offenses, and
the unctlous onion affair was the cli
max.
‘‘A white woman was fined $400 for
selling one bottle of whiskey without
a license to another white woman.
“Jimmie Kingston, who was arrest
ed in Chisana on the charge of mur
j-eding Louis Sshornborn, was taken
to Valdez, and reports recently reached
Chisana that Kingston had been be
fore the grand jury and had been
bound over for trial at the next term
of court. It is also reported that
his brother Jack had arrived at Val
dez, and was in charge of the work
of gathering evidence for the defense.
In Chisana the prevailing opinion was
that Kingston was not guilty, and there
was strong suspicion that he had
been jobbed by others who were try
ing to make him the scapegoat.
Kingston was held on the testimony |
of Indians. They spoke English very,
poorly, and it seemed their stories'
were told very largely in pigeon En- I
glish. They had some Btory about
Kingston being absent for a number
of hours and n cnnflle having burned
so much during that time, and the
murder is supposed to have been tak
en place during that period.. The
majority of the people In Chlsana do
not think such a story would be suf
%
flclent on which to convcit a man of
the serious charge of murder. The
authorities, however, claim all the ev
idence has not been brought out yet."

C0I1L LEASES
A telegram from Weahington says:
Aside from its railroad work in Alas
ka this year, the government propos
es also to do rather more public land j
surveying than ever in the territory, j
and to survey, first of all, the several!
coal fields. These coal surveys are
! essential to carry out properly the leas
ing policy for those lands.
Not yet has the government deter
mined what parts of the Matanuska,
Bering River and Nenana coal fields
It will reserve for Its own use. Sur
veys are necessary for the accurate
description of the government reser
vations. Of courso the executive or
der holding all coul lands in with
drawal, is still in effect, except in so
far as the new free-use, small area
leasing regulations apply, but as soon
as the form of lease and the regula
tions for leasing in large areas are
promulgated, the need for surveys will
be felt keenly. Hence the necessity
for early work this year.
Will Announce Plans
Frank M. Johnson, supervisor of
surveys in the general land office, has
started west to lay out the survey \
work for the year In the public land
states. He is now in Denver, but will
be in Seattle soon, and from there, It
is expected, will announce his plans
for the Alaska work.
The results of the naval tests which
determined the superiority of the Mat
anuska coal over the Bering River
coal have not convinced the govern
ment that the Bering River fields do
not contain good coal. Secretory
Lane Is authority for the statement
that a considerable government res- j
ervation is to be made In the Bering
uiver field, and that the surveys of
the Alaska Engineering commission
in that region thin summer will be di
rected with a view to reaching this
reservation with a line of railroad.
Drafting a form of commercial lease
for Alaska coal lands, under the law
of last year Is proving a perplexing
problem.
Criticized as Unworkable
I-awyers in the department of the
Interior have drawn many drafts and
have prepared many tentative sets of
regulations. All, however, have been
criticized on the ground that they are
so rigid ns to be unworkable.
Accordingly, several months ago a
committee, consisting of Commission
er Tollman, of the general land office;
V’pl H. Manning, assistant director
uf the bureau of mines, and Dr. George
Otis Smith, director of the geologi
cal survey, was appointed to tackle
the problem. One of the first things
they did was to call in several Alas
kans and practical coal men, among
them Falcon Joslin, for advice. The
result has been a general whittling
down of all the material in hand, but
not yet has a form been devised which
the committee would feel warranted
in submitting to Secretary I-ane for
his approval. The absence of Mr.
Manning on official business in the
west has caused a temporary delay
In the work. However, the commit
tee expects to produce a workable
form of lease and set of regulations
within a few weeks.
