Snow on :hc- second of May may |
not be without precedent but is is |
certainly discomforting to those who'
guessed the ice would go out about |
this time of the month.
With more than half a million j
men idle on account of the coal,
strike, and thousands homelss as a
result of the inundation of the great j
Mississippi, it cannot be said that
conditions are improving rapidly in
the States.

Manager R. S. Donaldson, of the |
Healy River Coal Corporation, ar-!
rived in town yesterday, having just
returned from a trip ta Anchorage
on business connected with his
company.
Mr. Donaldson informs The News
that the Healy River Coal Corpora
tion has supplied the Anchorage '
and other coast markets with three!
thousand tons of coal during the:
short time that development work
on the big seams has been in pro-’
gress and that a standard gauge';
spur from Healy to the ?o?.l mine j
is now being projected in order to ,
facilitate the handling of the out
put. which is limited to about 160 i
tons now' because of the distance \
of the mine from the railroad. It
is no longer a question of selling!
the coal. Mr. Donaldson says. The :
big problem now is to get the coal
to market in the quantities demand
ed. This difficulty can be overcome
with a spur, after which the coal
can be taken out and shipped in any
quantity desired.
Anchorage and Seward are now
using Healy coal in considerable '
quantity and shipments are to be :
made shortly to Cordova. It is also
the intention of the company to
make a trial shipment to Ketchi
kan during the summer and Mr.
Donaldson has been assured that a
considerable quantity can be placed
among the canneries to the west
ward of Seward as soon as the
transportation problem has been
solved.
The coal at present is being haul
ed by tractor from the mine to a
point opposite Healy, and trans
ferred to the bunkers by means of
an aerial tram. But for this handi
cap, the output of the mine might
easily be doubled or trebled on very
short notice. In fact, Mr. Donald
son says, the supply of coal in the
big seams covered by the company’s
lease is practically inexhaustible,
and that just as soon as the rem
pany is able to mine on a large
scale, the price of fuel lo the con
sumer will be very materially re
duced.
