THE BERING RIVER COAL to llu - ! from the stigma that attached to it on meat tost of tho product of that field. His letter follows: page of tho Post-Intelllgouccr of I)c comber 16. undor tho head lino, "Ala tho report of Secretary Daniels on tho reeont test of the Matauuekn coal we finally Induced to make an appropria tion to secure a full tost of Alaska coal for navy purposos. This first appropria tion was entirely used in getting out a quantity of coal from another Alaska field, that of Boring river, where every J } one who had Investigated know that ?' poses. A fact fully confirmed when tho j coal was tested.' "I realize that tho Post-Intelllgoucer will not willfully misrepresent the facts to tho disparagement of the Bor J ing river or any other^coad tlelaoln log jiver or any other coal Hold. Such statements as tho above, whether true or falBe, serve to Uiscourago lnvestl ! ment and development iu the Bbrih : river coal field, hence It Is of tho first , importance to know if the facts stated aro true. "I Is a ract mat me coai nuuuu i>v tho bureau of mines from tho Boring river field and tested on tho battleship Maryland was very unsatisfactory. The report of that test shows the coal con tained about -10 per cent ash and tho coal clinkered badly by reason of tho j foreign matter contained. "That tho coal tested from tho Bcr ng river Hold was not a fair sample Is evident from the official reports on this coal field as published by the United States government. "It is putting the case in a charitable light to say that the bureau of mines demonstrated its Incompetence in min ing the coal for this tost. "Now if we wish to know tho views of the disinterested officials of tho government who have devotod many years to tho investigation of those two coal fields, please read the following analysis quoted from Bulletin 142 A, by Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, page 33: Kind of coal, semi-bituminous. Bering river, avorages 28 analysis, moisture 4.1S; vol. matter 14.00; fixed carbon. 72.42; ash. 0.39. Matnnuska, average 10 analyses, moisture 2.71; vol. matter. 10.23; fixed carbon, 05.39; ash, 11.00. Again on page 33: " 'The higher grade (semi-bituminous) coals of the Bering river and Mata nuska fields are comparable in com position and heating power with tho i Georges creek. New river and Poca hontas coals of tho East' "Also the following from Bulletin 335 by Dr. G. C. Martin, of the United States geological survey, who has de voted more timo to tho Investigation of Alaska -coals than any man in the United States: " "Much of tho Bering river coal is of such superior quality as to mako it especially suitable for use on warships or wherever a high-grado smokeless steaming coal is required.' "Suffice it to say, that tho men who discovered and developed the Boring river coal field and oxpended some millions of dollars in so doing, are thoroughly convinced that tho oBring river coal has no superior as a steam ing coal anywhere. "We would not disparage the quality of the Matanuska coal, and we are pleased that the test was successful, for tho result of this tost doubtless will assure tho early building of a railroad and tho conoquent develop ment of coal mining in Alaska. Nor will, success in tho Matanuska field bo jeopardized by disparaging any other coal field of merit."

PLANS FOR CONTINUING SUN'S PUBLICATION News coming from Seattle is that several plans are under consideration for continuing tho publication of the Seattle Daily Sun. the evening newo paper which recently wont into the .hands of a receiver. Among them is one to conduct the newspaper on the divido the net proceeds onwt pro rata basis. While this plan is being worked pose of $10,000 in receiver's certificates which the court authorized S. P. Wes that lie lias met with partial success, In part payment of wages and salaries while they develop the co-operative i;i tempting to hoII the publication. Sever al persons and combinations of per or tho*publication. It was authorita tively stated in Seattle last week that William Wallnco Chapin, erstwhile manager of the Seattle Poat-Intelii goneer and later manager of the San Francisco Call before the sale of that publication by J. D.. Spyc.ckIes..to W11-. Ham R. Hearst and Michael H. De Young, was In communication with Re ceiver Weston and that he might be come a purchaser. Mr. Chapin recent ly terminated a brief career ub pub lisher of the Chicago Herald?a career It was llkowiso stated that Judge J A. Coleman, editor of the Washington Democracy, a Seattle weekly paper do voted to the interest of the Democratic party, was at tho head of a combina tion that was negotiating for tho paper for the purposo of making it a straight out Democratic dally nowspaper. SPIES PAVED THE WAY FOR SUBMARINE ATTACKS LONDON.?Three attempt!! by the German submarines to enter British ports within less than a month have convinced the admiralty that the "spy" system which has betrayed Germany military movements supposed to be known only to high authorities hns also succeeded In learning many nav al secrets. The officials bolleve the submarines would not have dared to attack unless they know the locntlon of tho mines. Investigation is being conducted to ascertain how tho mino maps came into tho possession of tho onomy. In terest is added to this inquiry by news that recently tho German sub marines made two attacks, on the Firth of Forth. Edinburgh dispatch es say that two of tho Gorman ves sels woro sunk, but no official an nouncement has been issued. Submarine raids at Yarmouth were backed by a squadron of German war ships, but practically nothing has been allowed to appear in tho papers in regard to it It gavo tho Admiralty and War Office a shock. When Lord Kltchenor was told of tho raid, almost before ho was out of bed ho gave orders for every of ficial in the War Offico to romaln indoorB until ho arrived. Ho had maps of tho whole East coast brought and spent tho morning studying them. No one was allowed to disturb him. Then he sent for Winston Churchill, firBt | lord of the Admiralty, and the two wore closeted for sovcral hours. I Tho mouth of every Important riv-! er was mined, and other preparations! of which tho public knew nothing was made. A few nights ago the rail ronds of the Great Western system were placed at tho disposal of the government, and in one night 30,000 troops were transferred from various camps to positions selected. Further batches aro soon to follow. A number of new big guns have been placed at certain points and masl(ed so completely that inhabi tants are unaware of their existence. Woro a German force to land on any part of tho East coast, it would have a small chance of gaining more than a footing. A thoroughly com prehensive scheme of defense has been worked out by Lord Kitchener. ALASKANS WANT THE ALASKA FISH TRADE A movement that started at Ketchi kan to compel fishermen In Alaskan waters to opcrato only from and to ship their products only from Ameri can ports is well under way. The Se attle Chambor of Comerco has become; Interested in tho matter, and the Alas ka Bureau of that organization has taken It up. Tne activity 01 rrinco ltuport in its effort to become the shipping port for fresh fish destined for Castcrn markets aroused tho interest of Ketchikan and business men in other town3 in the southern end of tho First Division. Priuco Rupert, sinco tho completion of tho Grand Trunk Paci fic, lias boon endeavoring, r.ot without auccecs, to sccuro tho headquarters of those engaged in tho fresh fish industry. Tho plans of those at that place contemplate not only the ship ment of tho flsh from Prlnco Rupert but the location of tho cold storage plants thoro. This would make it the port from which the fishing fleets, would sail, and the payment of tho crews would bo made there as well as the purchase of tho fish catches. Naturally tho fioherinon and their families would find it more conven ient to livo at that place than else whero if these plans should result In success. H. C. Strong, of Ketchikan, has taken an active interest in tho mat tor, and the Kotchikau Commercial Club has adopted resolutions urging that action be taken by tho United States which wouid retain the fish ing business of Southeastern Alaska for the American -towns in this Ter ritory. Mr. Strong took copies of the resolutions with him to Seattle, and they are now in tho hands of Scott C. Bone, President of the Alaska Bureau of the Soattle Chamber of Commerce. (Mr. Bone Is editor of the Post-Intclllgoncer.) Those in charge of the movement have boea encouraged to bolievo that Success will attend their efforts. It is not tho purpose of Mr. Strong, Mr. Bono and dho others who are work ing with them to cause tho diversion of eastbound fish movomonts from the Grand Trunk or to boycott Prince Rupert as a terminal, but to mnko American towns headquarters for tho fishing industry In Alaskan waters, and the homo ports for Alaskan fish ermen.
