TO EXAMINE
COAL FIELDS
Cruiser Maryland on Her Way
North to Examine Naval
Coal Reservations
. The cruiser Maryland sailed
from SeatLle for Alaska July lOlh
to inspcct the naval coal reser
vations on Prince William Sound
and Resurrection bay, also the
coal llelds.
Beyond this bare announce
ment of the mission of the cruis
er nothing more has been given
out, but there is a great deal of
speculation over the real object
of the trip. Those interested in
seeing the coal of Alaska opened
argue it to be "a "good sign, pre
i liminary, in fact, to securing
needed information and data look
ing to the ulili/.ation of the na
val coal bases, and the best meth
od or route for supplying these
from the nearest coal lields.
