COAL LAND IS
RESERVED FOR
COMMISSION
#
Unit in the Chickaloon is
Set Aside For U.
S. Railroad
The government has reserved for
the use of the Alaskan Engineering
commission the coal deposits embrac
ed within the limits of leasing unit
No. 12 of the Matanuska coal field,
according to information received
from Washington.
This unit is located in Chickaloon
River valley, mainly north and west
of the stream and less titan a mile
from the Matanuska river. A number
of coal beds outcrop along the Chicka
loon river in the unit and constitute
the best coal showings so far discov
ered in the Matanuska field. Some
of the coal is crushed and folded, and
in places intruded by igneous rocks,
but chemically it is the best yet found
in the district. The beds dip steeply
—almost vertically—to the north, but
the dip apparently flattens westward.
In 1914 about 800 tons of coal
from this unit were taken for testing
purposes by the United States Navy.
The analysis showed the product to
be semi-bituminous in character. The
government laboratory tests, as pub
lished in senate document No. 26,
Sixty-fourth Congress, first session of
1915, gave the following results:
Sample No. 1—Total moisture 2.58;
volatile combustible 19.14; fixed car
bon 67.46; ash 10.82; sulphur .57; loss
on drying 1.6;
Sample No. 2—Total moisture .90;
volatile cambustion 19.60; fixed car
bon 74.60; ash 4.90; sulphur .60; cal
ories 8.260; British thermal units 14,
888.
Facilities for transporting coal
from this unit will be available when
, the Matanuska Branch line of the
government railroad reaches the unit
this year to all divisions and the line
is complete along Turnagain arm.
The railroad is operating trains at
present from Anchorage to King, the
end of steel, which is approximately
13 miles distant from the site of the
proposed commission mines in this re
served coal unit.
