!, Washington, Jan. 26.—Rear Ad
miral McGovern claims that the so
lution o^ the fuel question for the
United States navy is coal, and
he is of the opinion that the vast

mittee of the house of represanta
tives yesterday he claimed that oil
was Ihe cheapest fuel for the Pa
cific ncval operations at the preseait
time, but he stated that, in his
opinion, when the coal fields of Al
aofcn were opened up, and the goy
01 nmert railway was completed in
to *he coal fields, it would then be
found *hat th# coal would 'be the
logical fuel for the navy.

have held the Midway association
claim on Cripple creek, near Fair
banks. They have gotten little re
turns from the property during
tha» time, but have continued to
hold the exound confident that
somebody -would work it at a profit
some time. More thaa a year age
a lease and option on. it.was takea
by a i/ffl known mining main, but
he let the option lapse. Last fall
the SJolseth brothers took a lay
on the ground ajid started to pros
pect. It took them" but a little
time to find good pay u.nd they h&va
been taking out a dump ever since.
A* the present time they have quite
a large dump out, and they wilt
have a very bi* one before tbo
water starts to ron in the spring.
What they will take out for the
year is not known, but it is esti
mated that it will be upward* of
$50,000. As there are but five men
working, this will mean a neat re
turn for all of them.
