Governor Strong is about as well
posted on the Bering river coal fields
as any man in the territory, having
resided at Katalla for several years
and during the time when much de
velopment work was being done on
the different claims. While he is
pleased over the result of the test of
the Matanuska coal which has been
found useful for naval purpose and
believes will lead to a vast amount of
development in Alaska, he expressed
the opinion that notwithstanding the
Bering ltiver fuel was turned down by
the naval experts, coal from this field
will prove ultimately to be just as good
as that taken from the Matanuska^
measures.
The difference was merely in the
i selection of the man who was in
charge of the work,” said Governor
Strong. “George Watkin Evans, who
was selected to take charge of the
Matanuska expedition was a man emi
nently fitted for the work. He knew
the country, he knew the people, he
knew good coal when he saw it, and
he knew how to extract it. The Bering
River coal, on the contrary, was badly
handled, and I am well satisfied that
a large amount of rock and other 1
waste matter was placed i nthe sacks :
with the coal that was taken for test- *
ing purpose. There is just as good coal '
in Bering River fields as in the Matan- !
uska field. It was merely the differ- '
ence in the mining. One was well '
handled by a thoroughly competent 1
man. The other was mishandled.”
Governor Strong, while hopeful that r
Alaska will have a good exhibit at the [
San Francisco exposition, regards it as
ixtremely unfortunate that Congress
failed to make an appropriation for
his work.
“With the probability of the open
ng of the coal fields, the construction 11
)f a governmet railroad and the gen- ll
iral opening up of the territory,” he tJ
»aid, “there should have been a good "
exhibit from the territory, but an ex- a
libit cannot be obtained without K
money. The government is expend- ''
ng a lot of money in Alaska with the 1
lltimate object of attracting a large 1
lumber of settlers to the territory, ('
ind it certainly should do something 1
o let the people known just what the 1
•esources of Alaska amount to. The 1
lettler should be given an ocular 1
lemons'ration of what he may expect *
:o find.” 1

Little aside from the usual routine
msiness marked the gathering of the
Ity fathers in the city hall last night.
The reading of the minutes, the re
lort of committees and the payment
if hills was the principal business that
■ame before the meeting. A com
nunlcation from Oeorge Brown, a col
ired gentlemen, who formerly was
own scavenger, was read. Mr.
lrown, it seems, was at one time the
iwner of a cabin on the 13-acre tract, ,
lear the stables of the Alaska Trans
er Co. When Mr. Brown left Cor
lova he failed to leave his place of
'esidence in a sanitary condition. In
act It was considered by the health
ilflcer as a menace to the public
lealth, and after tacking notices on *
:he place directing the owner to clean '
ip, to which, of course, no attention
was paid, it was torn down. Mr.
[lrown learned of the desecration of
his domicile and (feels very much
igrieved. In fact fact he thinks the
3ity should reimburse him for his loss,
it least that is the impression his com
nunication conveys.
The council also suspended the ordi- ,
ance prohibiting the dumping of |
shes in the streets to the extent that J
y resolution it was voted that citizens j
lay dump ashes in the streets in j
laces where they have been washed j |
ut, or other inequalities exist, for the
urpose of fllleing up the holes. The i
leeting then adjourned. ,j |

TRAIL
George Woodman, a recent arrival
from the Sushanna, who Is visiting in . •
town, confirms much that Grant Heed
says in his communication to the
Times regarding the tral over Kohn
Glacier. Mr. Woodman states that
last Se|itemher Sushanna parties fitted S
out an expldition to explore the Kohn
glacier, and the report was brought
back that the route was an impractic
able one. letter another expedition
was sent out to thoroughly explore x
the Scolai route, and on the report
brought back some work was done
there.
I
Mr. Woodman states that the Kohn Jx
glacier route Is all right for dog -x
teams, but it is almost impassable for
horses, ana that it is the dog men who
are booming the rout, and that they x
do not want horse men to use the trail.
Mr. Woodman came out in December jj:
over the Scolai route, and he is cm
phatic in his statement that had the
money expended on the various trails :3
to the Sushanna been spent on the x
.Scolai trail a safe and easy trail would x
have been established, suitable for —
both summer and winter travel, where
wood 1st plentiful nlong the whole
route, making it possible to cnmp at
almost any spot along the trail if over
taken by storm.

Yesterday’s train for f’hitina made
good time notwithstanding the storm I

reaching its detination at 5:15.
At places along the line the storm
was severe. Between Mile 37 and —
Mile 79 the snow fell heavily, aggre
gating nearly tow feet for the day,
with a strong wind blowing which
drifted the snow deep in some local
