with which to complete its survey of,
national petroleum conditions, ac-1
cording to an announcement just |
made by the board.
The text of the announcement fol

Two years ago President Coolidge

vation Board, and directed that a
complete survey be made of national I

determine whether more practical j
conservation measures were essen-;
tial for the preservation of the na-!
tion’s oil resources. To carry on the |
work of the board, Congress appro- i
priated $50,000. •

REPORT IS ISSUED
The board’s first report, issued
September 6, represents a compre
hensive inquiry by board members
and government scientists into all
phases of the country’s oil problems;
details physical conditions; estimates
protential reserves, and makes spec
ific recommendations. This initial re
port is to be followed by a second
report treating of possible substitutes
and the development of oil shale,
while a third report will embody a
survey of world-wide oil conditions.
The three reports eventually will be
incorporated into one volume, and it
is not expected that the entire work
will be concluded before the latter
part of 1927.

PRODUCING STEADILY
The Premier coal mine, located on
the Moose Creek spur of the Alaska
Roalroad, after passing through a
siege of litigation, receiverships, etc.,
it now producing approximately 150
tons of coal daily with one shift,
half of which is going to the Alaska
Railroad on contract and the remain
der into the open market, according
to information received from the coal
fields.
The Premier is developed to a point
where an output of about 250 tons
daily could be maintained with double
shift.
Those familiar with the affairs of
the Premier are of the opinion that it
will soon discharge all its financial
obligations and continue as one of the
good producers of the Moose Creek
field.
