The Malanusku coal commission,
under direction of Commander O.
C. Dowling, U. S. N., which recent
ly arrived in Alaska, left Anchor
age for Chickaloon on June 16 for
the purpose of inaugurating the
work of mining coal for the United
States navy.
Just before his departure, Com- 1
mander Dowling stated to a repre- ]
sentative of the Anchorage Times j
that he was preparing to put a force j
of some hundred men to work and ■,
would increase this as rapidly as ;
the minc3 could bo opened and room 1
created for a larger force, when 1
the commission would employ every
man available. It is estimated that
once the project is under way, which ji
will require time, there will be a i
thousand or more men employed. '
Lieut. Richard Gifford, U. S. N., i
who will have charge of the en- 1
gineering work, also accompanied i
the party, but will return to An- ;
chorage upon the arrival of W. E.
Eolles and C. D. Hazen, civil en
gineers, who are now in Seward
surveying that terminal with a view
to determining the necessary con
struction work to permit of econom
ically loading coal aboard ships.
Messrs. Bolles and Hazen, togeth
er with Lieut. Gifford, will make
a survey of the Anchorage terminal
facilities and draw plans for the
erection of a naval loading dock
capable of accommodating warships.
It will require several days to
launch operations at Chickaloon. and
it is believed actual development J
work will not begin in earnest until
early this month.
It is understood that among the
first steps taken will be the im
provement of bunkhouse facilities,
and Dr. Robert Cannon, U. S. N ,
will prepare to convert the first-aid
station at the mines into an aux
iliary emergency hospital.
There is a total of 41 employes
at the Eska mines and 22 at the
Chickaloon works.
