NEW COMPANY WILL I
OPERATE COAL MINE
1
A transaction of large importance ^
'to Interior Alaska was consuja'inated!
last week when the ownership of
the Bums coal mine, south of Ne- .
nar.a, passed into the hands of the
Healy River Coal corporation, a
new concern organized for the pur-.
pose of developing the coal ledges
of the Lignite district and supply
ing the fuel needs of Xenana. Fair
banks and all nearly districts. The
exact amount of money involved in
the deal is not known to The X’ews,
but it is understood to run well into
five figures.
The articles of incorporation of
the Heal River Coal corporation,
which were recently filed with the
secretary of Alaska, show that Au
gust Peterson is president; Thomas
McKinnon, vice-president, and
George Markus, secretary-treasurer.
These also constitute the board of
directors.
Xone of these men needs an in
production, as their names are syn
onymous with the early history and
development of the camp. All are |
pioneers, and each has a record of j
(achievement. Both "Gust” and
| "Tom” are the largest mining op
i erators in Interior Alaska. Their
holdings are not only in the Fair
| banks and Tolovana districts, but
also in the Kantishna and the Ku.
kokwim as well, and they are easily ,
| the largest consumers of fuel in
those districts, and the largest em
! pioyers of labor. “George,” while
j interested in mining to some ex
tent, has chiefly followed mercantile:
i pursuits. Before coming North, he
had the distinction of erecting the
first flouring mill in the city of
Seattle, thus laying the foundation
; of what is now one of that ctiv’s j
greatest industries. For a number
j of years he was connected with the
j Northern Commercial company, a
'Dawson and Fairbanks, and at the
! latter place was manager of the
company’s hardware and machinery
! department for more years than |
! The News can remember.
The personnel of the company is
