ALONG RAILROAD
OUTPUT OF MINES SHOWS GAIN
IF FOURTEEN PER CENT FOR
FISCAL YEAR
Despite the changing of fortune in
respect of switching of railroad coal
contracts from one company to ano
ther through competitive bidding of
coal mining in this# portion of Alas
ka has shown an increase in volume,
as pointed out in the freight haulage
over the railroad, the increase amount
ing to 14.5 per cent.
The most important development
was the completion of the Alaska
Matanuska’s coal plant, situated at
the end of the extension of the Moose
Creek spur. This mine is just be
ginning to produce coal in commer
cial quantities.
| The Premiar mine on the Moose
Creek spur became involved in liti
| gation, but was operated on a small
I scale under receiverships, and recent
I ly secured a contract for 10,000 tons
of coal from The Alaska Railroad. Ef
forts were made to combine the lease
' of this property with that of the Alas
! ka Matanuska company, but are be
ing resisted by claimants against the
! Premier.
Moose creek spur has ceased to oper
The Baxter Bedell mine on the
■ ate due to financial difficulties, which
it is reported are rapidly being re
moved and which indicate ,that this
mine will again enter the field with a
high-class product.
The Rawson mine, on the extension
of the Moose Creek spur, has produc
ed very little coal owning to lack of
development, but is preparing to open
.up its se^m-s and get into the market.
'Lack of sufficient capital is said to
be the chief hindrance.
The Evan Jones mine on the Jones
‘ ville spur of the Chickaloon branch
; ! operated continuously except for a
short period in July and a part of
August of this fiscal year. They dis
j continued operations because their
; contract with The Alaska Railroad
; was for only a small quantity of coal.
They have improved their plant and
have added an electric motor for in
side hauling.
The Ross Heckey mine, which pro
duces a higher quality of blacksmith
and cooking coal, and is operating on
j Coal creek, just below Chickaloon,
1 are producing on a limited scale, but
1 sufficient to meet local demands for
j that quality of coal.
| The Healy River Coal corporation,
operated continuously except for a
few occasions when repairs or im
improvements were being made. They
have made a number of extensive im
provements including construction of
' tipple and coal bunkers, and have pro
! vided an electric motor for inside
haulage. There has been some in
crease in the consumption of coal for
■domestic and industrial purposes, due
| in part to increased industrial activi
| ty, chiefly on account of coal replac
ing wood as fuel, but the increase has
been offset by decreased coal con
sumption on The Alaska Railroad, due
to conservation of fuel and more effi
cient operation, resulting in 87,772
tons being mined this year as against
92,270 tons last year. The use of coal
at the power plant of the Fairbanks
Exploration company, and the addi
tional use of coal in dredging opera
tions offers, a most promising field for
increased tonnage.
There is reason to believe that
there will be a gradual increase in the
use of coal for mines along the rail
road, and in Southeastern Alaska and
to the Westward,
