STOCKHOLM, June 13.—Belief that
the people of Russia want, above all
things, peace at any price, is a mis
take, asserts Vladimir Bourtseff, a no
ted Russian former, former revolu
tionary and newspaper man who has
arrived here from Finland.
"The Bolsheviki threaten the total
destruction of Russia,” said Bourtseff
to a writer in the Dagens Nyheter.
"They attained power by the help of
the Germans and by the same means
are maintained in power. Bolshevik
ism is a danger not only for Russia
but for the whole world and it is
necessary that the supporters of its
doctrines should be thorougly defeat
ed. Russia cannot be saved so long
as the Bolsheviki are in control. I
am convinced they can be conquered
and I hope it will not be long before
they are suppressed.
“What Russia needs is a govern
ment composed of Democrats and Ca
dets (Constitutional Democrats) with
a man like Korniloff or Milyukoff at
its head. The idea that the land
above all things wishes peace at any
price is a mistake. This would be
made plain under another government
which, unlike the present, was not de
pendent on German support.”
Boursteff at the beginning of th(
war was living in Paris as a refu
gee. He immediately returned t<
Russia to offer his services to the
government against Germany. He was
arrested the moment he reached Rus
sian soil and sent to Siberia. Aftei
a year there he was released on the
intercession of President Poincare ol
France. He returned to Petrograd
where he opposed the Bolsheviki and
when the revolution broke out he was
imprisoned in the fortress of St. Pete’
and St. Paul. After four months’ im
prisonment he escaped and reached
Helsingfors whence he came to Swe
den.

NENANA, June 13.—Two hundred
tons of coal have been mined near the
mouth of Lignite creek, in the Nenana
field, by Van Houton & White. The
firm has a contract to furnish the
Alaskan engineering commission with
200 tons of coal, 170 of which have
been hauled to the government rail
road right-of-way, forty-three miles
south of Nenana. The coal is used
for steaming purposes In a piledriver
engaged in bridge work at the Nenana
river crossing, and is giving satisfac
tory results.
The coal of the Nenana field is lig
nite of fair grade. While it is not
suitable for export, it will furnish a
valuable and much-needed fuel in por
tions of Interior Alaska that are now
dependent on a scanty and expensive
supply of wood.
The uses of Nenana coal probably;
will be as locomotive fuel on the gov
ernment railroad, for power and thaw
ing at the mines in the Tanana val
ley, as domestic fuel in the Tanana)
valley, and as river boat fuel on Tan
ana river boats, and possibly on some
of the Yukon river steamers.
The Nenana coal field has been sur
veyed and divided into leasing units,)
and a public offer to lease, under the!
act of October 20, 1914, and regula-1
tions thereunder, was issued Febru
ary 13, 1918. The area offered for
leases comprises approximately 19,000
acres of land, divided into twenty
three units, ranging from 160 to 1,664
acres each. A lease under the law
cannot exceed 2,660 acres, ana may
include one or more contiguos'leas
ing units.
The units constitute the more ac
cessible and immediate minable parts
of the surveyed lands of the Nenana
field, and are situated in the valley of
Lignite creek, a tributary of the Ne
nana river, extending up the creek
from its mouth for a distance of
twelve miles. The mouth of the creek
is on the approved surveyed route of
the government railroad from Seward
to Fairbanks, at a point about 364
miles from Seward and about 106 I
miles from Fairbanks. •
Geologists who have examined the
field report that the coal occurs in
many beds of various thicknesses up
to thirty or thirty-five feet, there be
ing at least twelve beds of workable
thickness, of which probably at least
six are more than twenty feet thick.
The coal bearing rocks are only gen
tly folded and ace not known to be
cut by any intrusive rock.

AMERICAN BOYS MAKE HIT
WITH BRITISH PAPERS -
■
LONDON, May 11 (by Mail).—The
high esteem in which England holds
the American soldier and sailor is
reflected almost daily by the London
press. One paper devotes a long ar
ticle to American qualities as exhi
bited by Fireman M-, champion
light heavyweight boxer, of the U. S.
navy. The writer watched him in a
contest with the champion of the
British grand fleet.
“One was forcibly reminded," he
says, “how exceedingly impolite wo are
on the surface—and how thoroughly
good-natured. The latter quality was
responsible for the applause which
greeted the appearance of the Amer
ican—applause far louder than that ac
corded to our own champion.
“It swelled into a roar as he sprang
up on the stage where the ring was
fixed. It i3 not the custom in the
British navy for even a popular favor
ite to acknowledge the cheers which
greet him. The correct procedure is
for him to dive quickly into his corner,
where his seconds immediately sur
round him and hide him from view.
“Not so the American. He merely
did what he was accustomed to do
at home—paused, a solitary figure in
a well-worn dressing gown, and then
he bowed—not as an hotel manager
or a shopwalker bows, but with his
little shy bows which were quite a
delight to those who knew something
of his battling reputation.
“The American did not win; he
fought a magnificent, clean fight, and
was beaten on points. But it was
good to see the real pleasure with
which he congratulated the better
man.”
