for the airplane or planes, as the case j
* may be, to stop at Wrangell, Circle, >
Hamlin, Gibbon and Golovin. Those ,

appointed to select a suitable site.

received it from Washington. It was i
as follows:

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER COAL
OF BERING RIVER FIELD
J. T. Suhr, representative of the ;
Western Smelting and Refining Com- |
pany, who arrived here yesterday, *
brought with him some samples of
coal from the Bering River Coal Com- j
pany’s mine near Katalla. The coal is
one of the finest grades in Western
United States; in fact, it is said that
r
it is not surpassed in the whole coun
try. The coal is bright and clean,
and it is said that the ash content only
averages 2 per cent. It is declared to
surpass anything in the West for cok- 1
ing purposes, and will probably be (
used extensively by the Western smelt- j
ers after coke ovens begin work. t
Mr. Suhr says the company has 2,000 j
tons of the coal on the dumps, and ]
(
now only lacks transportation facili- (
ties to put the product on the market, c
The Ladysmith copper property, ad- 1
joining the Kennecott holdings at La- j
touche, 'is soon to be producing, ac- ,
cording to Mr. Suhr, who knows the i
men who are backing the company.
Mr. Suhr says that the indications
that oil will be struck somewhere in (
Western Alaska soon are good, and in
fact he is a good booster for the whole *
western section, and thinks that it J
has a great future.—Juneau Empire.
