Coal Tlining on kenai Peninsula
The existence of coat at port Graham j
was reported by Portlock in but
it was not until the middle of the nine
teenth century that coal mining was!
begun. In l*32 the Russian American
Company undertook to mine coal at
the locality discovered by Portlock
and was actively engaged in its pro
duction for twelve years before Alaska
was ceded t> the United States. Aj
long drift was run on one seam of coal
and a shaft sunk on another. Goal’
was supnlied to Russian steamers for
a number of years, but it proved to be
of low grade and was sold at a net
loss. The enterprise was abandoned
when ownership of tin* territory was
transferred in ls<>7.
A Good Stayer
The Diamond Drill has suspended
publication, and Mr. Kinney will re
move the plant to Cordova. Katalla
is no' a promising newspaper field at
the present time, as there is not busi
ness enough to support oue paper.
The Herald, however, proposes to
j/ive the town a further try-out before
it throws up the sponjfe- Katalla
Herald.
No Place to Bury Dead
, Katalla has no place in which to bury
its dead. No one seems in the past to
have devoted any thought to a “God's
Acre” for the dead. Hut it is time to
be Lfin now. Some of those who have
died the past year have been buried
here and there—wherever death over
took them in fact, because there is on
common place where the dead may
rest. Some have found interment in
an old Indian graveyard: some ate bur
ied where the tide ebbs and flows over
"their bones.—Katalla Herald.

Canadian capitalists will precipitate
a titanic struggle in the Klondike in
the near future, when they begin op
erations seeking to unseat the Guggen
heims from their fabulously profitable
gold dredging enterprise in the Yukon
Golconda. A corporation of million
aires from the eastern part of the Do
minion has been organized for the ex
press purpose of putting the Guggen
heims out of business in the Klondike,
and the promised contest forecasts the
liveliest time that the Yukon country
has seen since the memorable days of
a decade ago.—Denver News.

Wireless Messages
Astoria, Or. Three high school
boys of this city have installed a wire
less telegraph system of their own,
that shows fhe possibility of this man
ner of transmitting messages but at
the same time presents objections to
it* general use for private messages.
On the bill above Cniontown a tall
tree was stripped of its limbs and on
the top a receiving instrument was
placed, with tbe wires leading to a
small hut at its base The boys know
nothing of the system except what
they read indifferent periodicals, and
receive their electricity from the city
wires, through a meter.
With this arrangement they are in
tercepting message* sent and received
at the Government station at North
Head as well as from vessels at sea and
as far away as off the California coast.
They have no sending instrument at
present, but are constructing one from
plans they saw in a magazine.—Port
