Tremendous Pos
sibilities In The
Alaska Timber
Summarizing the forest area of In
terior Alaska, John D. Outhrle, the
American Forestry Magazine for
August says: The total area has
been estimated all the way from 80,
000,000 to 150,000,000 acres. Inte
rior Alaska comprises an area of not
less than 300,000 square miles or
192,000,000 acres, of which only a
few townships have been surveyed.
It is not believed that the interior
forests will furnish products for ex
port outside the territory, but It is
believed the interior timber will be
needed for development which must
come to the interior basins of Alas
ka's great river systems. These for
est areas are practically confined to
the Yukon and Kuskokwim river
basins, and there are forests within
the Arctic circle. Of the estimated
150.000.000 acres of Interior for
ests there are probably 76,000,000
acres which bear timber of sufficient
size to make it of extreme value for
cordwood. sawlogs. boat building,
mining operation, farm use and oth
er purposes. One authority esti
mates that there are S.600 square
miles, or 5.504.000 acres of mer
chantable timber In interior Alaska,
and that this would average not less
than 5.000 board feet per acre. On
this estimate there would therefore
' be a total of 27,520,000,000 feet
board measure, of merchantable saw
timber. The above estimates do not
include timber suituule for only fuel
! or mining purposes. There is a for

COLLEGE! DOING
EXCELLENT WOHH
High praise for President Charlei
E. Bunnell and members of the fac
ulty of the Alaska Agricultural Col
legt and School of Mines was giver
by Geo. A. Parks, chief of the Alask;
Field Division of the General Land
Office, who returned Saturday fron
a trip to Fairbanks and other In
terlor point. The collcge Is doing
a splendid work and the manner lr
which It is being conducted Is verj
commendable, declared Mr. Parks.
The™ are now 12 Btudents en'
rolled, taking regular courses, h<
said. Two of these left McGill Uni
versity, one of the leading educa
tional institutions in Canada to take
up work in the Alaska college and
are highly pleased with their deci
sion. Students In the Fairbanks col
lege, said Mr. Parks, are being giver
advantages that would be difficult
to oqual in similar Institutions lr
the States. From Seward to Fair
banks, along the railroad, there is f
pretty general appreciation of tht
value of the college to the territory
The opportunity offered to mining
men In the short courses in mining
afforded by the college Is being
grasped by many Interior operuton
and owners of claims. The flrsi
course was scheduled to open todaj
and at the time of Mr. Park's visit
botween 30 and 40 men had enrolled
for the course. The second course
which opens next February, will alsc
be largely attended.
Mr. Parks spent several days at
McKlnley Park station on the Alaska
Railroad, conferring with Supt. Har
ry Karsteus of Mt. McKlnley Nation
al Park on public land matters. He
also stopped a short time at Nenans
and Anchorage.

Coal Mined By
NativesTo Supply
North Regions
| According to E. J. Ward, bureau I
of education teacher at Wainwright.'
who returned to Nome on the Bear, |
coal of the highest grade la found i
In quantities within six miles of
Wainwright, down the Inlet.
At the present time the coal Is
mined by a native co-operative store
which is under the supervision of
the bureau of education.
The natives supply sacks, mine and
deliver the coal to the village of
Wainwright at 75 cents per sack. 20
sacks to the ton. Three miles are
operated and mining has been in
progress for the lost thirty years.
Most of the coal is mined from the
surface, as the veins outcrop all
along the inlet. As the upper strat
tp.s are removed the coal becomes of
higher grade and with scientific
methods employed there is no doubt
that this field will become one of
the largest producers on Seward pen
insula.
This year 3,000 sacks were mined,
1,000 of which were used by the bu
reau for it local school, 200 tonsj
j were shipped to Point Barrow on the,
schooner Holmes. As the Boxer has
been acquired by the bureau It Is J
j planned to take supplies north and
| return with coal cargoes for other
I points along the coast. Nome can
j well take advantage of this field of
I high, grade coal and overcome the
I present high cost of fuel.
The Wainwright Inlet is barred by
a sand bar which prevents boats of
more than three or four feet draft j
entering. Down the inlet where coal)
is found within fifty feet from the
shore, skin boats luad the fuel and
paddle to the village.
According to Mr. Ward as the
demand for the coal increases the
present cost of "5 cents per sack can
easily be reduced to 50 cents per
sack, making the commercial possi
bilities much more feasible.
Superitendent Lopp proposes to
supply all bureau scnools on Seward
peninsula and adjoining islands with
coal mined from this field instead of
feeding the maw of the Pacific coal
barons, as is at present done.

HowKellyFound
Pneumatic Process
For Making Steel
Detroit, Nov. 13.—The late Will
iam Kelly, scientist, hailed as the
discoverer of the pneumatic process
of steel making, has been accorded
the honors denied him while he liv
ed.
The honor is In the form of a
bronze tablet placed in the door of
the public library at Wyandotte, a
suburb, said to bo the birthplace of
the American steel industry.
Steel men from all parts of the
country witnessed the dedicatory
ceremonies. The inscription on the
tablet asserts the late Mr. Kelly was
the discoverer of the process of steel
making that has made the building
progress of the world possible.
Following the unveiling, William
C. Kelly of Charlston, W. Va.. a
son, told a story that up to that
time had been a family secret.
He declared that years ago his
father established a steel mill in
Kentucky and began the manufac
ture of steel by the old charcoal
method. One day the slaves forgot
to replenish the charcoal beneath
one of the furnaces. Mr. Kelly inves
tigated and saw that cold air was
reaching the melting iron and mak
ing it, not colder, as he expected to
find, but hotter.
"My father developed the air pro
cess of steel making from that dis
covery," the speaker said.
The son of the discoverer relat
ed that two English workmen later
obtained from his father the story
of the process and that later w hen
the elder Kelly attempted to patent
his process discovered that the late
Sir Henry Bessemer of England al
ready had obtained the American
rights, asserting he had discovered
the system independently. The speak
er charged that later developments
proved Sir Henry had been one of
the men who posed as English steel
workers, obtaining the story of tlie
process from his father.
"My father established his priority
rights but a struggle followed and
he did not meet wtih financial suc
cess," the son said.
The elder Mr. Kelly established
the first large pneumatic steel mak
ing plant in the country at Wyan
dotte. Despite the fact that the De
troit suburb was the birthplace ot
the inductry Pittsburgh later was
selected as the steel city of the coun
try.

To Ailing Women
A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer In Skagwuy.
No woman should consider herself
healthy and wall if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons thac pass off in the
urine when the kidneys are well are
retained in the body when the kid
neys are disordered. This is the true
cause of many bearing-down pains,
lameness, backache, etc. Uric pois
oning also causes headaches, dizzy
spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney Pills. You will get better as
the kidneys get better, and health
will return when the kidneys are
well. Let one who has used Doan's
Kidney Pills tell you about them.
Mrs. J. Malone, 2529 Kulshan St.,
Bellingham, Wash., says: "I can
hardly describe the misery which X
sndured from backache. When I
washed, it felt as though my back
were breaking in two and terrible
pains struck me In/ the small of my
back and nearly doubled me up. My
kidneys acted too often and my feet
bloated badly. I heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills and two boxes drove
the pain out of my back and regu
lated my kidneys."
