MINING GOAL'
Government Party Making Good
Progress in Mining Coal for
Navy T«st.
J. \V. Hamilton, Hie mining
man who had charge ol' the de
velopment of the Frost et al coal
claims in the Matanuska fields,
and who has .just returned from
there, pays a high Irihufc to the I
miner-like manner in which Sup- :
erintendent Evans and his crew
are mining coal for the test to
he applied hy the United Stales
Navy.
Mr. Hamilton declares that,
much care is being exercised in
securing coal measures that are
fair alike to the mines and to the
navy. The coal being mined is a
tine grade of bituminous.
\\ nne mere are ouier graces
of coal, running the gamut, from
a lignite to an. anthracite, the
bituminous grade predominates.
Twenty-two men arc employed
at the mines, and all are exper
ienced coal miners.
When Mr. Hamilton was there
last week one hundred and fifty
tons of the eight hundred tons
desired, has been mined and sack
ed, ready for transportation to
the coast. From now on, how
ever, better progress will be
made, and Superintendent Evans
figures that by the middle of Oc
tober bis work will be completed.
Mining is carried on from three
tunnels, run by Mr. Hamilton un
der I he Frost-Watson regime.
The Frost-Watson houses, sla
'ble's, cars, track, and tools were
placed at tin* disposal of I he gov
ernment party.
Forty-live horses are employ
ed in transporting supplies, etc.,
from Knik to the coal mines. Ed.
Wood, the packer, owns and is
working half of the animals, the
government owning the remain
'der. Wood has about finished
his contract to deliver a certain
tonnage from tidewater to the
mines.
When snow flies, the govern
ment will begin hauling the coal
from the Malanuska to Ship creek
on Knik arm.—Seward Uateway.
