Of all the 4G.000 acres of Bering
river coal fields filed upon by parties
in tbe past, T. P. McDonald is the first
and only one so far to secure a patent
from the government, patent having
been received at the Juneau land of
fice from Washington for the Seattle
coal claim, owned by McDonald as
assignee of Maurice A. Arnold, and
containing 160 acres on the shore ol
Bering Lake.
The secret of McDonald's success
in fields where hundreds have failed
lies In the fact that he went at the
proposition siingle-handed and with
the intention of really mining coal
for the market and not to speculate
or locate in the interest of n company,
The claim is one of three located
by T. P. McDonald In 1906 and pur
chased by Mr. Arnold during the next
year from the late Sheriff A. T. Van
deventer.
Mr. McDonald, soon after he located
the claims opened up veins on all
three claims, spending more than $160
000 upon their development. After
obtaining a contract with the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad to sup
ply it with coal, Mr. McDonald found
himself ordered by the government to
halt proceedings until patents had
been granted. Meanwhile one of
the claims had been transferred to
former Sheriff Vandeventer, and still
later acquired by Mr. Arnold.
Mr. McDonald went to Washington,
D. C\, where he virtually camped un
til last September, when the commis
sioner of the General Land office, Clay
Tallman, called on the Juneau land
office for all papers and documents
and a report on the case, following
which one of the McDonald claims
was ordered patented.
From the location of the claim with
reference to tidewater, it should be I
possible for McDonald to ship coal
on a commercial scale almost nt once
as small boats and barges can navi
gate to Bering lake at almost all
stages of the tide.
The coal on this 160 acres is a semi
bituminous coal and It is reported to
It® of ft very high grade, and experts
linve declared the claim the richest
In the field.
