The ore is said to run in to thousands of dollars per ton and is now being sacked and carried to tide water for shipment. The size of the lead is not known. Falcon Joslyn. who has just re turned from the Tiering river coal fields, reports that the company is constructing four miles of planked road to get coal to Bering lake whence it can be brought on barges to Cordova. The Cordova market is promised fifty tons of coal a day and it is expected that before mid summer the Alaska steamships and the Copper river railway may be burning local coal. Regarding the oil stiuation at Katalla, Mr. Joslyn says the greatest obstacle to open ing the oil pools is the present illiberal leasing laws, but he is op timistic regarding development. The honor of having the first oil permit in Alaksa goes to Fred Ilaef, who located the claim Feb. 27, 1!)20, amt tiled an application tor tease at Juneau July 15. The principle of protecting the preference rights of claimants under old location filings made prior to withdrawal of the oil lands from entry is to a certain ex tent involved in the issuance of the permit to Mr. Haef. His claim cov ers ground which was located under the old law which, it has heretofore been thought, came under the prefer ence right provisions of the oil leas ing act. Under these, the old claim ants were given a year subsequent to the date of the new law became effective in which to assert their prior right. This time will not ex pire until Feb. 25, 1921. Whether the action in the present case in issuing the permit on such ground will stand as a precedent in applica tions filed for permits in like in stances is not known. Col. Alfred II. Brooks, geologist in charge in Alaska has arrived in Seat tle after a month spent in the oil and mineral fields of the territory.
