DON’T ENCOURAGE
HIGH PRICES
If you are willing to pay the high prices asked at
other stores for Men’s Clothing and Furnishings, you
have no kick coming about high prices.
You are encouraging high prices by patronizing
high priced stores. These stores sell no better quali
ty merchandise than this store carries. That’s an
undisputed fact.
We invite comparison of quality and prices; that's
why we publish a list of goods and prices below that
is the best proof of our claim that we undersell all
competition.

NEW COMPANY WILL
OPERATE COAL MINE
(Continued from Page One)
Interior is a foregone conclusion.
They have sufficient capital to meet
any demands, plenty of push and
enterprice to keep things moving,
and the executive ability necessary
to insure the success of the under
taking.
When interviewed by a represent
ative of The News relative to the
plans of the company, Mr. Markus,
jwho negotiated the deal for his as
sociates, said he could not give a
j definite outline of the work at this
time, as the active management
would be left in the hands of prac
tical and competent men. He did
say, however, that one of the first
(moves would be to put the existing
i
j tunnels in a safe condition, mine
.coal at the present level to supply
(the Commission's immediate needs,
; and to begin the sinking of a work
j ing shaft, the depth of which will be
! determined as the work progresses.
] When the desired depth of the
! shaft is reached, coal will be mined
‘from both sides with all possible
! speed—three shifts of men will be
(employed, if necessary. A boiler,
I probably of 50-horsepower capacity.
I a large double ldrum hoist and a
■pump of sufficient size to handle
jthe water will be installed as soon
| as these can be shipped from Fair
banks. It is also planned to put in
an electric plant to supply light for
the mine and living quarters. A
(comfortable bunkhouse will be built
at once.
I One of the most important inno
| rations will be the erection of a
j screening plant to eliminate all the
Ifine material, which has been a seri
' ous drawback to the successful
| burning of the coal in the past,
j This fine substance, part of which
j is coal and part deleterious mat
ter. fc.i.ts clinkers and also acts
ias a blanket over the fire, retarding
| combustion. When this is removed,
j it is estimated that it will enhance
the efficiency of the coal about 25
percent and reduce the labor of
firing about one-half.
Dommich Xigri has just arrived
' from Fairbanks and will take tem
porary charge of the mine. He is
i thoroughly familiar with mine work
jand brought four experienced coal j
; miners with him.
| Mr. Markus states that inquiries
already have been received from
Fairbanks relative to the shipment
jot coal to the upper town. Rail
connection between the two towns,
he points out, will soon be a »1 ity.
, but there still remains the problem
of transferring the coal from the
main line ears to those of the nar
!row gauge. There is no doubt about
the Commission officials being able
I to handle the situation ecnnoir.ical
jly, however.
Miners in the upper country are
not going to lay in a supply of ex
1 pensive wood for fuel next summer
Those who are driving tunnels for
.the following season’s work are buy
! ing wood only for present needs,
and will rely upon coal for their
operations. Many of the largest
consumers are near the railroad ami
can be supplied without much diffi
culty.
The Fairbanks Gold Mining com
; pany, operating two dredges on
Fairbanks creek, which is over the
divide from the railroad, has been
shipping in crude oil to combat the
high cost of wood. This season's
shipment will be the last one, as
jthe plan to eregt a power plant at
j Gilmore, where coal can be deliv
ered directly into bunkers, will be
a reality before the end of next
summer.
| Those who decried the building
of the town of Xenana in the be
lief that it would be detrimental to
the prosperity of Fairbanks, will
soon be convinced that the future
;of that district will depend upon
Xenana, thus proving that the two
towns will sure enough be the Si
amese twins of the Interior—each
depending for its life upon the
other.
It is cofidently expected that the
coal mined from the lower levels
will be of a quality superior to that
mined heretofore.
The last steamer brought in a
large number of coal stoves, many j
I of them having been shipped from
Dawson, where they had been stored
for a number of years. At least
three dealers have coal stoves in
their stocks, and sheet metal work
jers, both here and at Fairbanks, are
i
;now arranging to gather material
for the conversion of the commc
air-tight wood-burners into coal
'stoves. It has been demonstrated
that this can be accomplished at
very little cost; in fact, it will be
less than the difference in the
! price of a couple of tons of coal
and two cords of wood. There need
be no change made in steam boil
ers, as they are so constructed as to
burn either wood or coal.
There will be one drawback to
the change from wood to coal, and
-that is the elimination of many men
and teams engaged locally in haul- j
ing wood during the winter months.1
The use of coal not only will cause
these men considerable loss of em
ployment. but it also will cut down
considerably the consumption of hay
and grain, unless other work can
be found for the teams. Such dis- j
advantages, however, always are in
' evitable when any great stride is
made in economic construction. The
j consumer, however, will be affected
favorably, as the change will cut
j down considerably the high cost of
living.
One of the greatest savings vil! -
jbe to the miners who ooerate dur-;
jing the summer. Instead of laying;
jin i full season’s supply of fael :
jdut'ng the previous wintei and ty-.
| ing up thousands of dollars thereby,
jit wTl be possible hemeforth to buy i
■fuel as needed. And not only that.!
i
'for under the new order of things!
’ • ■ . !
;it will be possible to reduce very
materially the actual cost of pro
ducing steam.
The key that will unlock the re
sources of Interior Alaska has been
found. Xenana, with her enormous;
coal supply, will have this section;
of the country bv stimulating de-j
velopment and creating new con
fidence in the future prosperity of
! the Interior.
