TRANSMISSION PKOJ KIT
TO ELECTRIFY INTERIOR
Fairbanks, Nov. 15—With a view
to entering the mining busiuess and
the light and power business in the
Fairbanks district, the Canadian
Klondykt Mining Company, better
known as Joe Boyle's company, has
had an agent here for the past
month investigating the matter. It
is the plau of the company to ex
tend its lines from Dawson through
the Fortymile district, the Eagle
district and the Circle district to
Fairbanks, furbishing power to ev
erybody along the route.
While the distance from Dawson
to Fairbanks is great, the agent
states that by a recent invention
over the old 'nsular system, it is
possible to transmit power for 400
miles with no greater loss than it
would to transmit it 50 miles un
der the old system.
The Bovle company expects, if it
enters the firtd. to generate its
power on the Klondike river, with
an auxiliary plant on Coal creek.
This latter would be used only in
case tne former *-as disabled.

SK.UiAV.YY MAY BENEFIT
BY NEW TARIFF LAWS
That Skagway, and perhaps other
cities ol Alaska are to bo benefited
by the removal of the tariff on coal,
is the prophesy of the Dawson News
which says):
"The placing of coal on the free
list may open a market in the lower
Yukon country or at Skagway, the
Copper river country or th© pros
pective Whits river copper region
for the products of Yukon's fine
coal miues. Oue shipment of Yu
kon coal was Hade to Fairbanks thi
summer. Coal from this territory
has been sent to Whitehorse, and
more may go that way under the
incentive of the new laws.
"In time wood pulp from the Yu
kon will bo wanted on the coast, an
with the Item now on the free list
a larger market is afforded.
"Tile placing of many food artic
les on the free list will' be an en
couragement this wiuter and con
tinuously thereafter for the miners
In the American Chisana and
White river fields, and at Amer
ican points below Dawson, to buy
Canadian products.
"If a customs man be placed on
;!io White river boundary by Uncle
Sam this winter, he will find most
Canadian goods can cross duty free.
Tariff duties may fall off in the Al
aska customs receipts, but the min
ers will receive the benefit, and the
whole Northland will bo aided. Whcai
the prospector is er.obled to live
at reduced cost more territory will
be opened. The development of fron
tier regions moans prosperity and
greater wealth for both countries."

EASTERN CAPITALISTS WOULD
INVEST IX COAL LANDS
Fairbanks, Nov. 15—In the hope
of opening up the coal lands for
bjmc consumption, a number of
mining men of this district, and
others who are outside, but who
have interests in Fairbanks, have
opened communication with Senator
George Chamberlain of Oregon. The
prime movers in the matter stated
that the mining men were anxious
to .secure the passage of a_ federal
law whereby th-j coal lands would b
put upon the same basis as . the
wood lands of the public domain, un
til such time as Congress should
see fit to oped up the resources for
general use.
It is contended that if this were
done, the local office of the land
department could look after the is
suing of permits, and the miners
could then obtain good fuel at lit
tle cost. The particular reason that
the mining men are anxious to ob
tain this legislation is that a num
ber of Eastern capitalists have ex
pressed their intention of investing
in the low grade ground as soon as
coal is obtainable.

were put to work on the .streeets
and roads it would offer some re
lief as it would relieve the con
gestion at least a part of the time
and would also prove a deterrent to
those who habitually break into jail
at this season of the year where
they have comfortable quarters,
good food and nothing to do.
H. B. LEFEVRE TAKES
CASE AGAINST GOVT.
Juneau, Nov. 15—A claim against

with the government.
