Sanderlin. 3-t Municipal Clerk Fur Rohes Fur Coots Fur Caps Fur Mitts M. A. PINSKA BROWNE MODIFIES POSITION Cw COAL TRANSPORTATION: MAKES A THRU RATE FROM MINE TO TOWN At a meeting held yesterday afternoon in the otlice "I Guy l>. Erwin, secretary of tin- Fairbanks t’ommereial Fhib, the executive board ot that organization held an extended conference with EngineerAn-Charge Frederick l>. Browne, of the Alaskan Engim i ring eonimission, rela live to the transportation oi coal from the lignite fields •south ot Neiiana into this camp and vicinity. Mr. Browne stated that lie had come to Fairbanks under instructions ironi Commissioner Meat's m order to clear up sonic ap parent misunderstandings in the coal situation and to i i deavor to arrive at some solution ol the problems eon uected with the delivery of coal. NOT PRODUCING COAL At the very outset of the meeting, after the purposes' id the conference had been stated by President .). A. Me lntosli, Mr. Browne stated emphatically that the eommis sion is not engaged in the coal mining game. The com mission, he said could lay rails up to the coal veins and connect the district up with those veins but it could tin at this time force delivery of coal by the operators, lb intimated that under certain circumstances, stieli as , failure of a fuel supply affecting the eonimission. author ity could he obtained for mining of coal. MAKES PROPOSITION Regarding the delivery of coal to this district, Mr. Browne made a definite proposition and one that in the opinion of the members is fair, probably based on a knowledge of the fuel situation as it exists in Fairbanks and on the creeks. Ivcuardine the delivery of coal for experimental purposes, which up to this time has been hazy in outlook and uncertain, lie said that coal in size able quantities, or from 50 to 500 tons, shipped from the' Biunite mines, and presumably ihe other veins on which the 1 lea ley liiver ('oal ('orp 'n has lease-., 1 o Xenana, trail shipped there by means of commission teams and labor to the North .Xenana-Fairbanks division, would be deliv ered to either Fairbanks or Gilmore for a transporta 1 ion charge of $2.50 per ton. The shipping charge from j the mines to Xenana beiutr $1.00. that from Xorth Xena na to either of the destinations mentioned an additional $1.00, the commission charim for handling ihe coal across the Tatiana river by teams includini*' unloading and re loading would be fifty cents per ton. which, as was sta1 ed by Mr. Browne, would be, less than the actual cost of the labor involved. The commission, lie stated, stands to lose monov on the proposition but is willing to do so in order to stimulate both coal and void production. MAY LAY STEEL For any amount over and abo\* tin- maximum ol 500 tons named by Mi Brown*-, it the overplus should be material, other plans would »n course he neeessar>. probably me* sitating tin* laying of st.ee] aero the river Speaking in reference to putting down rails over the Tananu. Mi Browne said that even it an un limited tonnage were in sight at the I i sent time it would be impn ibl* to do that work at this time as tie ice is not sufficiently strong to lx ar tlie weight of trains Early snow fall prevented the river Horn free/, ing to an extended depth and iinh-s colder weather than has been ex perienced so far is had it may be impossible to run trains across tin :iver all winter. COAL TO ADVANCE. According to Mr Browne, the old price of $5.00 per ton charged b> the operators for the Burns’ coal will probably he superceded in the m-ar future b\ a new price of $6.1*5 p< i ton at the mine He said that a tentative contract between tin- oper ators and the commission on that .-cal** is being prepared and will soon be effective. This price, In* declared, should be but temporal*} pending the completion of development worb lo be don* by the operators. lb said that ev. ni'ialh it should b« sold at $:*,.r>0 to $-1.00 pi r ton. but in* was 1 unable to slat* jusi how long before i • uch p"ici would prevail, admitting! that tlie question of quantity pro duction out. , d to a la -go degree into ♦ he matter of reduction. GIVES SATISFACTION. The use of the lignite coal as a fuel declared Mi Browne gives hel ler at isfacl if a; than wood and is be ing used by tlie commission in preference to wood which can lie I purchased at Nenana for $7.00 per j cord. A lew people in Nenana he said, are also using coal, an occasion al car being Hooped in for private consumption Records of compara tive tests, be a sci-p d. ate available which prove the superiority of coal over wood. PRICES TOO HIGH. I le agreed with tnembein! the .executive board in the conclusion that coal costitip. $fi._a per ton at the mine was too expensive a fuel lor general mining use In the opinion of all present any fuel at that price to which additional transportation rates must be added before if is Christmas Gifts BOUGHT OF SUTKH carry an assurance of appreciation from the recipi ent and solid satisfaction to the giver.
