NEW BOAT FOR B. P. R.

(Stroller’s Weekly)
The Bureau of Public Roads of
which Assistant Engineer C. Cheat
ham, is the chief officer in Alaska, has

PAT O’COTTER DEALS WITH
- SEWARD CITIZENS IN
“THE OLD GANG”!
It’s quiet now in Talkeetnq,
There’s nothing doing now,
For “Maine’s” learned prohibition
From the teachings of ^eal Dow,
Still, if Smith gets nominated
Or even McAdoo,
“Maine” may bust the camp wide open
With a gallon of home brew.
George Phelps is some uneasy
As he deftly “rolls his own,”
Dripping mingled “bull” and wisdom
As he drawls with nasal tone,
“Well, it may be Smith or McAdoo
and it may be dry or wet,
But if God is in the Heavens,
I may be Post Master yet.”
Cal Brosiu% drive home the nail
And slowly takes a “chew”—
Cal doesn’t really care a damn
For Smith or McAdoo,
In fact he Jeans toward Coolidge,
But he don’t care two hoots
He likes to kid the Democrats
And plague Friend “Cigaroots.”
Jedge Whittlesey is busy now
His ear close to the ground
Jedge rarely misses anything
Or overlooks a sound.
He talk with Willy Hawkins
But they can’t agree, these two
The Jedge is strong for Underwood
And Bill likes McAdoo.
Wayne Blue looks quite mysterious
And he’s waiting now to hear
From far-away Virginia
From his old pal Ai’t McNeer.
And when he gets tl^e dope, he’s off
You can bet your shirt on that
And he’ll Jine up with the Solid South
For Wayne’s a Democrat.
And so the “Gang” gets busy
Each in his own sweet way
It’s a pity they cannot vote
When it comes election day.
There’ll be doings in November
Up in Seward, that’s a fact
And possibly a lynching—
If George Sexton crabs their act.

THOUSANDS SPENT'
FOR DEVELOPMENT
EVAN JONES MINE
(Anchorage Times)
Gratifying progress is being made
in driving the new tunnel on the Evan
Jones Coal company’s property at
Jonesville, and^ three new seams of
coal have been cut so far, according to
J. E. Rockefeller, superintendent of
the mine. Mr. Rockefeller stated work
is being pushed as rapidly as condi
tions will permit and it is'expected
that the job will be completed in about
sixty days. Five hundred and sixty
five feet of tunnel remains to be driv
en and the six men employed are av
eraging about ten feet a day.
The three veins so far cut lie at an
angle of about thirty degrees, which in
sures easy working. They expect to
cut four more, which will give the
company a total of eleven veins. The
new seams are four, five and six feet
in thickness. The company intends to
begin development work on them as
soon as the tunnel work is finished, ac
cording to Mr. Rockefeller.
“There are about 225,000 tons of
coal consumed in Alaska yearly, ac
cording to the Capps report,” Mr.
Rockefeller said. “With the develop
ment work now going on, the time is
not far distant when this company will
be in a position to supply almost all of
that demand. The people of the Terri
tory are overlooking a bet when they
fail to agitate for the purchase of Al
aska coal by government and other
agencies throughout the territory.
“The Matanuska coal is every bit as
good as the coal produced in Washing
ton, and I noticed recently when bids
were called by state officials for furn
ishing fuel, a clause was carried which
provided that ‘Only coal produced in
the state’ would be accepted. Institu
tions in the Territory should be urged
to buy Alaska coal exclusively.
“If all the money now being spent
for fuel in Alaska could be kept at
home and the majority of the coal fur
nished from the Matanusa region, it
would mean a monthly pay-roll for the
region of approximately $78,000. This
amount would go far toward insuring
the future of the coal mining industry
in Alaska.
Mr. Rockefeller said there are 110
men employed in the mine at present.
A new 75 kilowatt direct current gen
erator has been installed recently and
the company has called for bids for
motors to be used in electric haulage.
A new cleaning plant is now under
course of construction. Sixty-two
thousand feet of lumber will be used
in the structure which will be 60 feet
high and forty by thirty feet square.
Another coal drier of 150 tons capacity
will soon be built, which gives the
mine a daily drying capacity of 300
tons.
Another improvement to be made
soon is the installation of a Raxila
mining machine. The machine will
cut ninety inches deep on a sixteen
foot face in one hour. A light shot of
powder will bring down the coal with
out breaking it up. In addition to a
material saving in powder and labor
the new machine will considerable in
crease the output of lump coal for
commercial consumption.
Mr. Rockefeller stated the improve
ments under way and contemplated at
Jonesville will cost in the neighbor
hood of $85,000.
