BLUING ItlYKK KALI,
ItK MINKD IN KALI.
John Hutchison, superintendent of
the Clark Davis coal mine at Kataila,
is in town for a couple of days on
business and he is very optimistic over
the mine he is opening up and which
be expects to have on a shipping ba
sis this summer.
Mr. Hutchison is an experienced
mining operator and he reports that
this property is one of the mo3t pro
mising that he has ever handled, and
its product is a high grade of anthra
cite coal, which can be marketed in
competition with inferior coal from
Washington state and British Colum
bia.
A patent has been granted by the
[government for this claim, which is
on the east side of Canyon creek in
'the Bering river field. There are
! two well defined veins or seams, and
Ion No. 1 it is six feet in thickness,
I and has been crosscut for four hun
; tired feet. While the outcropping is
! somewhat crushed there is a line body
! of hard coal. On No. 2 vein it is four
| and a half feet thick and in solid
condition.
For some time past a force of ten
'men have be.m engaged in opening up
this mine, but the crew will soon be
increased to forty. The present plan
is to ship a limited amount of coal
this fall, and by next spring to have.
I the mine opened up sufficiently to
supply the local market with fuel. In
| order to get it to a market, it will be
[necessary to haul it by rail to tide
| water at Controller bay, a distance of
[eighteen miles. During the past year
the work of constructing this railroad
: has been in progress and the grading
i has all been completed, with the ex
ception of driving some piling. The
j steel has been ordered as well as cars
j and locomotives, and these will arrive
iat Kataila about May 1, when the
[ work on the road will be rushed to
'completion—Cordova Times.
