PKOGESS AT
COAL MINES
During the week ending August 11,
there were 664.37 tons of coal shipped
from the Kska Creek coal mine. The
force employed at the close of that
period numbered 83. Among the im
provements erected recently are a
powder house, 14 by 16 feet, and a
primer house, 10 by 12 feet.
Contracts have been let for the con
struction of six cottages for use of
the employees, and for the installa
tion of temporary water and sewer
systems at the mine. Three acres of
the townsite have been cleared and
a contract let for the clearing of two
additional acres. During the week the
loading trestle was extended a dis
tance of 26 feet.
At the Chickaloon mine 14 men were
I on the payroll at the close of the week
ended August 11, most of them being
engaged on mine development work.
| The crosscut to tap the coal beds was
extended about 40 feet during the pe
riod.
Lars Netland, lessee of Units 10 and
11 of the Matanuska coal field, com
menced development of the property
I on August (5, according to advices re
ceived by the Land and Industrial De
partment. These units embrace 1400
acres near Chickaloon.
Unit No. 10 lies between Kings
River and Chickaloon River, less than
one half mile west of the latter
stream and about 1 'i.* miles north of
Matanuska River. The coal beds i
which outcrop on Kings River, accord
ing to the Government’s report, prob
ably extend through the unit.
Unit No. 11 is located in the Chick
aloon River valley, mainly north and i
west of the stream and less than a
mile from Matanuska River. A num
ber of coal beds outcrop along the
Chickaloon River in this unit and con-1
stitute one of the best surface show
ings of the entire field. The coal of
Unit 11 is pronounced to be chemi
cally the best so far discovered in the
district.
Mr. Netland recently completed a,
thorough examination of the property
and has expressed himself as well
pleased with the outlook for a sub
stantial production. He contemplates
an extensive development of the
mines at an early date.
HAVE r. s. WAR RELIEF
BOARD OVER IN JAPAN
(By Associated l*ress Dispatch)
TOKIO. July 15, (By Mail).—The
American residents of Tokio and Yo
kohama have started an organization
for general war relief work. A sub
scription has been auspiciously open
ed and local committees formed in
various cities. The funds will be used
for the United States and the other
allied countries.
NAMES GIVEN TO STATIONS NORTH OE
BROAD PASS ON FAIRBANKS DIVISION
NENANA, Aug. 2, (By Mail).—
Development along the line of what
is known as the Fairbanks division of
the Alaskan government railroad has
now developed for enough to permit
the establishment of stations along the
1 line and the naming of the same. In
reality the stations in most instances
I have not yet been established, but the
places where they will be located have j
been designated by the commission.!
Whether or not the names will be re
tained after the road shall have been
completed is a matter of conjecture,
but it is supposed that they will un
less towns of considerable size spring
up around them and they are changed
by the inhabitants. Each station also
is designated by number. The names,
of the places and the mile on the rail
road where they are located, number
ing from the coast end of the rail-j
road, are as follows:
Mile 314.53, Broad Pass; Mile 336.

ments went through at the commence
ment of operations this spring.
