TEN BILLION TONS OF COAL
The Nenana coal held, Alaska, will
be tributary to the Government rail
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the
coal of this held i< lignite and hence
of low grade, yet it has great value
as a source of fuel and power for
Fairbanks and other Yukon placer
camps. The field is about <>0 miles
south of Fairbanks. It is estimated
by the Cnited States Geological Sur
vey, department of the Interior, that
the Nenana field contains some ten
billion tons of lignite. The Nenana
coal held lies in what is known as
the Bonnifield region, which also con
tains some gold placers that have
been mined in a small way for the
|ast 10 years. This district is des
cribed in a report entitled “The Bon
nifield Region, Alaska” (Bulletin

KEEPING HEARST PAPERS
OUT OF THE YUKON
- /
The authorities of Dawson and
t
other parts of the Yukon territory
are taking particular care to see thut
(he Hearst publications are excluded
from circulation in this territory. It
is not likely, however, that anyone j
knowingly will circulate or have in
their possession any of the publica- j
lions. The penalty provided for hav
ing one of tin* Hearst papers in one’s
possession is $5,000 fine or five years
in jail, or both.
Postmaster McCarter says that
any of those papers coming through
are seized in the postofiice, if noticed.,
Persons who' had subscribed for the
papers prior to the ban being placed
on them will escape trouble, says the
postmaster, if they refuse to take the
papers from the postofiice. Should
one of the outlawed papers bo sent to
anyone here by someone outside, any
one detecting the identity of the pa
per should not take it from the post
ofiice, but turn it in to the post
master, to be destroyed at once.

MINING DEVELOPMENT
IS PROMISED AT UNGA
That Unga island is in for further
mining development is the conviction
of Frank A. Brown, of the famous
Appollo mine at Unga, who was a
southbound passenger on the Ala
meda the other day.
“The new discoveries on Unga
Island in which Alexander Bradford
is interested present a promising out
look, said Mr. Brown. “If the val
ues hold in these leads, which are
from 100 to “00 feet in width of clear
rock this discovery will prove a big
producer."
Mr. Brown says stormy weather
interfered with mining operations on
Unga Island last month, and caused
an early shut down on some of the
w >rk£.—Juneau Empire.
