WORK AT NEW COAL MINE
MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
The Mt. McKinley Bituminous
Coal Corporation, which is composed
entirely of N'enana businessmen, is
making rapid headway with the
| work of development on its holdings
'at Mile 341. Superintendent Terry
McGowan, who is in charge of the
work, now has a force of fifteen
men engaged in putting the mine
! on a producng basis and improve
ments are taking form rapidly.
After having thoroughly prospect
, ed the coal seams on the property,
work is now being concentrated on
a 7-foot seam of high grad‘ coal,
i which is said to compare very fa
vorably with the famous Pocahontas
i coal of Pennsylvania. A working
tunnel 9x11 feet is being driven in
to the hill and a considerable a
mount of coal already has been
(blocked out, ready for the com
! mencement of active mining opera
I
! tions during the latter part of the
j summer.
The company has erected two per
manent bunkhouses at the mine,
there is a mess house, office, bam
and blacksmith shop and work i^
now in progress on a bath house
and change room for the miners.
J. M. Smith, who conducted a laun
: dry at Healy for some time, is
building a hotel at Mile 341, in an
ticipation of much acticity at that
point, incident to the ope/amn of
the mine on a large scale, and will,
| in addition, operate a laundry for
the convenience of mine employes
and others in that locality.

the last boats up the Yukon. He
spent the winter in the Portland
canal district and came direct from

i the Sahara with the result that
many of the oldtime residents of
j that town are moving across the in
j temational boundary to the new
Hyder on the Canadian side, where
good liquor may be bought for the
small sum of four dollars a quart.

COAST AVIATOR PLANNING
INTERIOR AERIAL SERVICE
Aviator Roy Jones, who has been !
operating a seaplane in Southeast-'
em Alaska during the last year, is
planning the establishment of art
aerial service between the coast and
Interior Alaska, according to a com
munication received by the local
igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. The
plan is to operate a passenger car
rying plane between Valdez and
Nenana and Fairbanks, and he also
proposes to make special flights
for which he will make a charge of
from $10 to $50 per passenger, ac
cording to the distance traveled. ,
The matter was first taken up
with the Pioneers in Valdez and
referred by the coast igloo to the
local organization and the Pioneers
of Fairbanks with a view to secur
ing the cooperation of the Interior
Igloos. The aviator wants $1,000
to put his plana in operation and
offers to repay the amount advanced
from receipts from flights in the
various towns.
The proposition was considered
at a meeting of the local Pioneers
last night, and referred to a com
mittee for action, it being understood
that the local igloo, while ready
to give its moral support to the in
auguration of the proposed service,
would not obligate itself in any
way to the financing of the enter
prize.
Aviator Jones states that he will
be ready to start for the Interior
during the latter part of July.
