! NEW COAL COMPANY WILL
DEVELOP HIGH GRADE FUEL
Organization of the Mt. McKinley
Bituminous Coal Company, backed
by local capital, has been announced,
the object of the company being to
develop a body of high grade bitumi
nous coal close to the Alaska Rail
road, at Mile 340. The company is
capitalized at $100,000 and the fol
lowing well known local men are
connected with the enterprize. as
officers and directors: Joe O’Connor,
president; W. B. Reabum, vice
president; treasurer, Alex Fowler;
directors, C. N. Christensen, Richard
1 C. Morris and Louis Johnson.
The property of the company
shows several veins of coal, the
quality of which is high grade bi
tuminous, assaying very high in car
bon and low in moisture. It is said
to be excellent steaming coal and
: cokes readily, and will prove a very
valuable asset to the district in the
event of the establishment of a
smelter. Large deposits of iron ore
and lime suitable for fluxing are
known to exist near the coal.
It is the intention of the company
to begin development work at once
and coal will be placed on the mark
et as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be made. The plans
include the construction of a siding,
the erection of bunkers, the driving
of tunnels and the installation of
a short tram, to convey the coal
from the veins to the bunkers near
the track.
: The development of a coking and
steam coal means much to Interior
Alaska and the fact that all of the
stock of the new company is owned
by local capita! speaks well for the
prosperity of the North. The officers
and directors of the company are
all well known, solid, reliable busi
ness men, whose business ability,
energy and honesty are the very
best asset a company- could have, in
suring, as it does, the careful and
economical handling of the company
finances.
L. D. Henderson, territorial com
missioner of education, who arrived

came down from Fairbanks jester

the Xenana School board yesterday
afternoon for a general discussion
and expressed himself as being well
pleased with the manner in which
the local school is being conducted.
The steamer Victoria, like the

ings recently destroyed by fire at
