ALASKA AN UNOPENED BOOK
Unexplored Coal Regions May Prove
to be Double the Area Now
Known
Alfred II. Brooks, the chief of the
Alaskan division of the Survey, on the
subject of the coal resources of the
territory in an interview states that
about one-fourth of Alaska, or loO.OOO
square miles, is, so far as its useful
and precious mineral resources are
concerned, practically an unexplored
region an unopened book -and that
when tin* coal fields ot the territotv
are fully expanded they may prove to
be double the present known area.
Geologic and reconnoisance surveys
have now been made ot coal aieas in
Alaska covering about lll.Odt) square
miles These areas include deposits
ranging from lignite and low grade
bituminous coal to tlie highest grades
of bituminous, coking and anthracite
coal.
Coal is, however, known to exist in
comparatively unexplored regions ot
territory, estimated by Mr. B»*ooksat
approximately one quarter ot its entire
area, and it may, as stated, be present
in commercially valuable deposits.
For instance, the Cape Lusburn coal
field, located in far northwestern
Alaska, has been only partially exam
ined by government geologists. The
coal of this tie Id is bituminous, rang
ing from low to high grade, and the
field is believed to be the western end
of a large coal area.
