STEFANSSON FINDS GOAL
IN FAR NORTHERN REGION
VANCOUVER, B. C., April 15
Coal deposits have been discovered
in the far northern Arctic regions by
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex
plorer, who is now wintering in the
frozen North, according to a letter he
wrote to a Mr. Johansen of the Geo
logical Survey of Ottawa, a copy of
which has been received here.
Stefansson in the letter told of his
plans to return to the outside world
in the fall of 1918, and then go north
again at the head of a new expedition
in 1920. Stefansson has been explor
ing Arctic regions since 1913, when
he was sent north by the Canadian
government.
“I am afraid that by now my Arctic
work is the only work I am good for,”
Stefansson wrote, “or at least I am
less fit for any other work. It is my
desire and my dream to continue it.
If we get home in the fall of 1918
I hope to come forth again in the
spring of 1920 at the latest. I have
several alternate plans, one or an
other of which I hope to put through.
Each of my plans contemplates a base
from which journeys can be made and
in the vicinity of which detailed sci
entific work can be done by short ex
cursions, as well as by work at the
base itself.
“We found a coal mine in what we
call 'Third Land,’ near latitude 77
degrees 33 minutes north longitude
107 degrees west. One of m; ideas
is for a three or four years’ expedi
tion, in the first year of whcb our
base would be on Melville islird or
some other point attained by ship’ and
after that our coal mine, 150 miles
farther north, or at a still more north
erly point, perhaps on Ringess isle,
for we found coal on the benches
there, though we never had time to
trace it to its sources.”
EXPORTS DURING MARCH
SlOW DECIDED DECREASE
The exports from Alaska for the
month of March reached a grand to
tal of $2,840,342, which is rather a
low’ monthly report. March, however,
is always one of the smallest months
in the year on account of but few
boats carrying copper ore, and also
due to the fact that canned salmon
has practically been cleaned out dur
ing previous months. The gold pro
duction of the territory is also very
low' during March, depending entirely
on the lode mines of the coastal sec
tion.
The detailed report as compiled by
the office force of the Juneau customs
house shows the following table of
values for the month’s exports:
Animals . $ 10
Curios . 3,735
Fresh fish . 145,396
