The announcement in the (lateway
yesterday of the probable location of
the naval coal bunker*- in Seward, be
tween Monroe and Washington
streets, on the waterfront, perhaps de
finitely sealed the inlormation thaT
the navy was to do business on lies
uerection Hay within a short time. I he
(«ateway ha** consistently* stated '<•
the pjtst twelve months that tin* navy
department recognized Seward as a
place for navy coal bunkers, but the
announcement that a location had
been reserved, helped to buoy up tin*
snirits of many who seem they must
have the punk of encouragement
burning all the time or they are in
the dumps.
W ith a frontage of over ."-.OIK) feet,
the navy flock in Seward will he no
.-mall structure but will mean that
many colliers can be taking coal at
the same.
The situation of the docks ''ill per
mit colliers or other craft to go along
side head' d north or south and not
east and west, the latter exposing the
ships to the north and south winds
broadsides.
Acco*ding to unotiit a* reports, th*'
navy hunkc - and doc*> in Seward will
probably be constructed next year,
possibly preliminary work being don**
this fall an.I winter. With coal coming
• tito Sewa'd tegularh and the *locks
constructe«l. this city will be the im
portant coal center on the Alaska
coast.
The favorable attitude and prompt
manner in which Col. Meats took up
the floating dock for S**war*l is cer
tainly to be eommended. Three weeks
ago. after possibly several months ot
work to g**t some reply even from th**
commission officials regarding th**
dock, the matter was presenter! to Cob
Mears. T i* matter has now been di
sposed of satisfactorily and within
two we» ks, pei hap> less, a large barg»*
will !><• towed t** Sew a d from Anchor
age, an*l will be moored to the Sow -
