Conflicting reports of excursionists
from Washington, I). C. to Alaska re
garding coal and oil lieids has hrot
abotst a lack of confidence that is in
juring and Impeding t'.ic progress of
the territory, it was declared Wed

of the Pacific Grocery, who returned
Saturday evening last, from a busi

"One representative of the govern
ment will say there is coal In abun

"Auoti'.er governmental man will say

TO CROSS CARIBOU
WITH REINDEER
I According to the Nenana News
the Blologllcal Survey department of

a rather novel experiment uud one,
' the result of which may do much to
Increase reindeer herds throughout
L11& Territory, us it Is claimed there
are hundreds of thousands of cari
bou in tli ewatershed of the mighty
Yukon. The Nenana paper says:
O. J. Murie, of the Biological Sur

a study of animal and bird life for
the department he serves, left for

ham, the Loftus brot ers and Frank
(Ilasser. who have been signed on
for service and who will accompany
him luto the park proper.
I The party under Mr. Murie will
journey up the Savage river to the
ne.g.horliood of its headquarters and
will there establish their main camp
'.n this locality there is a low pass
between the Savage and Sanctuary
rivers, where t ^e party will build a
corral to couform 10 the lay of the
land* This corral will be used to
capture a number of young caribou
hulls which will he taken to McKin
iev Park station laier ou and win
' tered there.
After the breakup next spring the
captured animals will be shipped to
Nome, where they will be min'gled
with a large herd of reindeer for
the purpose of conducting an experi
ment of crossing the caribou with
the reindeer.
The experiment will be conducted
under ti e direction of Dr. Nelson. I

h-!!e i s an animal superior to both
produced .n that manner.
Although not definitely known at
t' i< time, it is believed the captured
caribou will be added to a herd of
reindeer on the Nunavak island. Mr.
Murie hopes to be able to get at
least twenty young caribou for the
experiment.
PVI.P PI. \XT AT SPEEI. RIVER
TO START AT ONCE
Henewed manufacture of wood
pulp at the Speel River plant of the
vla-i.a Pulp >C- Paper Company will
liOKiu at once and continue all win
:t»r. according to an announcement
di» this morning by \V. P. Lass,
manager of the plant. The plans
for re- ewal of operations were given
by blm briefly from his home in Jii
eau and ' e said that he expected
to leave for Speel Uiver next Mon
day or Tuesday.
"We have been granted a rate of
S3.oo per ton on our product from
tie mill to Puget Sound and this
.•tables us to begin grinding at once,
■is we have a market for all we can
•t ake." he said. -"The old rate was
?"i per ton. The mill will operate
i:Il winter and we expect to employ
from 30 to 40 men during the win
ter months," he said.
The Speel Uiver plant was oper
ated a short time »fter its comple
tion in 1021. but owing to unfav
rable market conditions and cost
of transportation entering as a fac
tor. it was unable to operate at a
production cost that would enable it
. i penetrate the markets on the Pa
cific Coast. It shut down earl y In
t!'e spring of 1911 and has not pro
duced since that time. Some im
provements were made, however,
during the Interval, in the com
nany's property sheds built and
locks strenghtened. Everything is in
readiness at the mill. It was stated,
to start active operations without
delay.
hTe granting of th ene wlow rate
has been anticipated by local bus!
ne.-s men and stockholders in the
company for sometime. When Gen
eral Manager F. II. Knickerbocker,
of the Alaska Steamship company,
;>iid General Freight Agent J. H.
Bunch went north several weeks
ago, Allen Shattuck, President of
the Juneau Commercial Association,
arid E. II. Jaeger, conferred with
them regarding th rate and it was
intimated at the time that a matter
inl reduction might be made a«
once. Ofllcials of the company, both
in Juneau arid San Francisco, had
Mso taken up the matter of rate re
I duction. The new rate is said to be
ntirely satisfactory.
