OLDTIMER QUITS SIBERIA;
SAYS ALASKA IS BETTER
Siberia, toward which so many
have looked as a field of golden
promise, has no charms for Rudolph
Rula, well known Alaskan, who re
cently returned to the Kuskokwim,
content to make Alaska his home
henceforth.
In reporting the arrival of Rula
at McGrath, the Kusko Times says
he landed at East Cape, Siberia,
in September, 1918, from which
point he journeyed to Anadir. Al
though having a population of only
250, of whom 45 were Russians
and the remainder natives, Anadir
was found to present a scene of
much tumult. Two weeks previous
to his arrival, fourteen Bolsheviks
met death at Anadir in a clash be
tween rival factions.
Prisoners who had been released
from the government prison on
Zachalian Island, made their way
'to Anadir and were mainly respons
j ible for many of the murders com
mitted in that region, previously
a peaceful and law-abiding commun
ity. Besides killing people, the ex
prisoners indulged in looting and
, other acts of lawlessness.
Rula says the Russian peasant
{class, as a rule, are a fine lot of j
! people, but those who gain authority |
I over them are not governed by the j
best of scruples, which means that
the peasants are made victims of
extortion and of every conceivable
kind of graft.
| During the months Rula was at
Anadir, through regulations then in
, force, one could get three pounds
of sugar every two weeks, butter
could not be bought at all and sup
plies of all kinds, save flour, were
very short.
j Rula says he has no further de
isire to prospect in Siberia. He was
; able to leave there last July, and
' went direct to Nome. Later he
landed at St. Michael and from
; there he made his way to Kaltag
, and thence to McGrath, where he
'arrived during the early part of
April.

BIG COAL SEAMS ON HEALY
TO BE MINED NEXT WINTER
The United States Land Office
has issued a permit to the Healy
River Coal Corporation to mine
coal on the Healy river, at the big
seams, the location being two miles
from the site of the company’s
present mine at Healy.
Tools, mining equipment, explos
ives and cook house outfit have
been put up on this location, over
the ice, and it is the plan of the
company to have the work opened
up so that it can go ahead next
winter as soon as the ice on Healy
river is heavy enough for traffic^
These plans give assurance of the
commencement of a new era in
coal production before the end of
the present season, and there is
every reason to believe there will
be a plentiful supply of good coal
available for mining operations and
development throughout the Interior
country.
Many of the largest coal users
have already visited Healy and they
all come back full of enthusiasm
regarding the vast quantities of
coal in sight and the progress the
company is making in the face of
many difficulties to be overcome.
Visitors to the big seams assert
that this outcropping is one of the
largest in the country, many of the
seams being from 20 to 25 feet in
thickness, and all of a superior
quality of lignite coal. The company
is to be congratulated upon its
enterprise in obtaining a permit to
operate at such an advantageous
location.
THREE WELLS WILL BE SUNK
IN ALASKA OIL DISTRICT
A group of San Francisco capital
ists, said to have ample financial
backing, have pledged themselves to
sink three oli wells in the Yakataga
district upon property controlled by
Attorney F. H. Foster, of Cordova,
and associates, according to a state
ment made by Foster recently at
Juneau.
He says that he and his asso
ciates hold permits upon twenty-two
miles of the Yakataga beach line
and that upon his recent visit to
San Francisco he interested a group
of capitalists who contracted to sink
three oil wells upon the property
in an attempt to locate the oil pool,
all of the work to be done this
summer.
Pete Jepson, who is engaged in
station work in Nenana canyon,
was in town this week on a short
business visit.
Jack Singleton was among the
arrivals from Healy this afternoon.
