ARRANGE A ROUND-ROBIN
BOXING CONTEST
NEW YORK, Jan. 18. — The leading
amateur athletic clubs of New York,
Pittsburg and Boston have agreed to
enter their best boxers in a round
robin tournament, the bouts to be held
in the three cities during the latter
part of the present month.
The Alaska Petroleum & Coal Corn
pan}-, which recently received patent
to 160 acres of coal land in the Bering
river section, is planning to begin
work in the spring on the develop
ment of their coai land and oil hold
ings in that section.
According to the reports of the en
gineers, made to the Alaska Petroleum
& Coal Company, the coal claim con
tains not less than five million tons
of merchantable coal. The company
also proposes to build IT miles of rail
road from the coal mine to tidewater.
It is also stated that former United
States Senator George Turner will
shortly institute suit against the gov
ernment for patents to the other coni
claims in the Bering river region,
claimed by the company, and to which
patent has been denied.

IDITAROD MINERS ARE MOTHERS '
OF INVENTION.
■- - 1
That necessity is the mother of in- ^
vention is indicated in the case of
Iditarod miners who are using a new
method to thaw ground. The old
method of using a heavy prospecting
boiler, weighing about 450 pounds, has
been superceded by a hot water pump
method which is reported very con
venient and can be transported any
where, as it weighs only about 30 or
35 pounds. A large flat pan of water
is placed on an open fire and the hot
water is pumped into the pipes and
forced into the frozen ground. The
method has been found to be more
efficacious than the old steam way.
