COAL MINE
Takes Over Kska Creek Mine and Will
Develop Property
at Once.
The Kska Creek coal mine, located
within the limits of Leasing Knit No.
7 of the Matanuska coal field, was
purchased on June IS by the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and formal
ly taken over from the private concern
which has boon operating tor several
months past under the firm name of
the Kska Creek Coal company. The
commission will develop the property
without delay. Sumner S. Smith, in
spot tor for the federal bureau of
mines, will be in immediate charge of
operations, and (ieorge W. Evans, dis
trict mine engineer of tin* bureau of
mines, will act as consulting engineer. I
Evans is now in Seattle arranging for
the purchase ami shipment of the nec
essary machinery and equipment.
The purpose of the commission in
purchasing the mine is to secure an
adequate supply of coal for the con
struction and operation of the govern
ment railroad. This object was at
tainable only through the operation
of the mine on a larger scale and by
the installation of proper facilities. A
washer for cleaning the product will
be erected and other modern equip
ment added to the plant, to insure
the necessary tonnage and the econom
ical handling of the output.
The commission will also take steps
at once to open a mine on Leasing
Unit No. 12. at Chickaloon, in the
Matanuska field. A force of pros
pectors will be placed on the unit im
mediately with a view of determining
the location of the various coal beds
and the securing of the necessary data
preliminary to comprehensive opera
tions. The necessary machinery for
this unit will be installed as soon as
the railroad reaches Chickaloon, prob
ably during the month of August, this
year.
It is not the intention of the gov
ernment to remain in the coal mining
business permanently. When the mines
have been opened sufficiently to sup-1
ply the large tonnage needed by the
commission it is proposed to lease
them to private parties in accordance
with the provisions of the coal leasing
regulations.

NOTES
H. H. Hildreth has taken a position
with the commission at Kern creek.
Trains working on the hill savo a
run to town for water by pumping it
from Bear creek.
Figured on the cost of upkeep,
wages and interest, sinking fund and
so forth it costs $10 an hour to oper
ate a locomotive, so that the engines
working three shifts on this division
each represent an expenditure of $240
per day.
