FAIRBANKS BUREAU OF MINES
TO STUDY DRYING NENANA COAL
The problem of treating the coal in
the N’enana district, which must be
dried out before it is tit for practical
use, will be the first work to be un
dertaken by the Fairbanks station of
the United States bureau of mines,
according to John A. Davis, superin
tendent of the station, who arrived on
the University of Washington campus
this week. He will remain in Seattle,
until the season opens in the Fair
banks region and while here will de
vote his time to the preparation of
bids on supplies and apparatus for
the government station.
Cheaper Fuel Needed
“The question of cheaper fuel
^aiuls out above all other conditions
and needs of the Fairbanks district,
Mr. Davis said yesterday, “and be
yond doubt it is the one pressing need,
since it is the key to the future de
velopment of the mining. Under the
present conditions quartz mining and j
the ultilization of low grade ores is j
impossible.”
In the valleys of Healy creek and j
Lignite creek, near Nenana, there is
approximately ten billion tons of!
lignite which has not been mined. I
This lignite, according to Mr. Davis,
contains a high percentage of mois
ture, which must be removed before
the coal is tit for commercial use. The (
^Alaska Railway Commission has
placed its boilers at Nenana at the
disposal of the bureau and the com
parative efficiency of the raw and
dried coal will be tested out there.
Will Study Deposits
“The bureau will also study coal de
posits of the Nenana field,” Mr. Davis
said further, “and will advise the best
methods of opening and working the

mines which will eventually be estab
lished there. This work will be done
with the view to the economy of min
ing. the safety of the miners and the
prevention of waste.
“These fields are located in the val
ley of the Healy and Lignite creeks, j
near Nenana, through which the Al
aska railway will pass, and are but,
110 miles from Fairbanks. The fields j
are held by the government and will
be open for leasing.

CLAIM JUMPING
IN TOLSTOI IS
LATEST REPORT
■ ■■ ■
I DITARO I).—News reached here
this week that there is considerable
excitement in the Tolstoi because of
claim-jumping on Midway creek, up
on which discoveries of excellent pros
pects were recently made. It appears
that William Stenbloch and Alex
Holmberg have relocated ground
claimed by J. W. Williston, because
of alleged non-compliance with the
provisions of the mining law which
stipulate that claims shall not exceed
1,.‘J20 feet in length. The claims in
volved are those upon which Willis
ton recently gave an option.
Ground claimed by Stenbloch and
Jorgenson, also on Midway creek, is
said to have been restaked by Mrs. N.
S. Jacobsgaard and Pete Jorgensen.
The latter claim that the ground was
open to relocation for the reason that
the annual assessment work had not
been done.
It is quite probable that legal pro
ceedings will result from the contro
versies.—(Pioneer.)

ship a hundred tons of high grade ore
from that mine.
The Kennecott company is turning
out the usual amount of high grade
as well as concentrates from their
mill.
At Strelna there is an unusual
amount of activity, as the different
companies operating from that place
are geeting in their supplies and ma
chinery while the snow lasts.
