BERING COAL NOT , SUITABLE EOR NAVY WASHINGTON, March 28?Secre tary of the Navy Josephuu Danlols re ported to Congress yesterday after noon that the coal of the Bering river Molds is unsuitable for use in the navy " according to tests made by the Geol- < ogical survey officials, officials ut An- v nnpolis, and aboard the Maryland.

This is just 70c per ton profit. ( p "Of course the low tenor of the rock treated the past quarter was largely responsible for this, but it is interest ing to note the ability of the Utah (1 Copper Co. to develop such largo net s! earnings when it gets. buLTOouier^tou U profit out of the mining, transporta tion and milling of a ton of rock.
