FIRST LEASE
The first coal lease to be granted in
Alaska under thenew ruling was re
ceived in Anchorage this morning.
Wm. Martin, of Seattle, cabled Hor
ace Emory that the lease on the Eska
Creek Coal company had been al
lowed and the authority came direct
from the commissioner of the govern
ment land office at Washington. The
lease calls for 600 acres of valuable
coal land in the Matanuska coal fields
and is owned by a syndicate composed
principally of local capitalists.
The lease has been pending for
some time but the company has been
working the mines and developing the
property for several weeks and have
shipped some coal to Anchorage.
With the definite information that
the lease has been granted the com
pany will commence work on perma
nent development of an extensive na
ture including substantial buildings
and bunkers. It is understood that
the government will build a spur from
the railroad track to the mines and
that an additional force of miners will
be put on and the property will be
worked to full capacity.

Why Another
* Christmas ?
, Some of the readers of- the Anchor
■ age'Vhies have perhaps forgotten,
' while jT’-jfers are not aware, that in
\ the OliPWorld there are two calendars
I in use, one the Julian, the other called
the Gregorian calendar.
Mr. Vucetich of the Bank of An
cho*ige has compiled a brief descrip
tion of the'range of the different cal-t
endars, which may be of interest to i
the customers of the bank a3 well as
to the general reading public.
The Julian calendar, employed by
I Russia and theGreek church for civil
| and ecclesiastical purposes, and the
[ Gregorian calendar, our present cal
endar, show a difference at present of
| thirteen days.
Julius Caesar in 'B. C. 4b, was the
; first man to reform the calendar by
| ordering that every year the date
number of which is exactly divisible :
by four, contain 366 days, and all i
other years 865 days. He also chang-'
ed the beginning of the year from
Marchlst to January 1st, , and also
changed the name of the fifth month
(QUIHTILI8) to the name “July” af
ter himself.
The average length of the Julian
year is therefore 36514 days, which is
too long by 11 minutes and 14 seconds.
This would accumulate in 400 years to
about three days. This calendar con
tinued in use throughout the world
until A. D. 1582, when the date of the [
beginning of the season occurred 10
days later than in B. C. 45, when this!
mode of reckoning time was intro
duced.
The Gregorian calendar, or our pres
ent calendar, was introduced by Pope;
Gregory XIII. with a view to keeping I
the equinox to the same day of the |
month. It consists of 365 days, but ■
every year exactly divisible by four,
and the eenturial years which are ex- •
actly divisible by 400, contain 366
days. If, however, 31 leap years were
intercalated in 128 years instead of
32 as at present, the calendar would
be practically exact, and the error
would not amount to more than a day
in 100,000 years. The length of this
calendar may therefore be set down at
365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12
seconds. This calendar was intro
duced into England and her colonies
in 1752. at which time the eouinox
had retrograded 11 days since the
Council of Nice, A. D. 325, when the
festival of Easter was established, and
the equinox occurred on March 2ls1—
hence September 3rd, 1752, was called
September 14th, and the comment
ment of the year was changed from
March.25 to January 1st. In this wn
the year 1751 lost the months of Jan
uary and February and the first .'4
days of March. Thus, our presidents,
Washington, Adams, Jefferson :.vd
Madison, were bom under the Id
Julian calendar.
