Eska Coal Mines Are Closed
Down By Government Railroad
Ruy* Output of Prlvalr Mint-—
W illow Omk Gold Mine*
Do W'intci Work
Withdrawal of rhe Alaskan En
plneerini: commission from its coal
mining activities at Eska and in
creased activity in the coal mining
industry in the Y.atanuska Is re
ported hy S dnev A.idcrson. Anc >r
ape banker, who was a Juneau vis
itor while the Northwestern was In
port recently Mr Anderson and
his mother. Mrs ?. M. Anderson,
are en route to the States for a vis
it of two months «
The Alaskan eng.neering commis
sion closed down .:s operations at
the Eska mine some time ago. he
said. The only mining operations
now be ng carried cn hy the govern
ment in the Matanuska' field is un
dor the Navy Alaska Coal commis
sion at Chickaloon and is confined
to exploration of deposits at Chick
aloon and on Coal creek Its work
is progressing satisfactorily T!ie
coa! washer now b»ing installed at
Sutton is almost completed, a!'. th«
machinery being on the ground
It has been reported unofficially
sad Mr Anderson, that the covern
menl has had an oJer for the E»ka
property, including all equipment
and buildings, but there has been
no confirmaiion of this report
•Tersonally. 1 belitne it would be
the best move for a.'l concerned, in
cluding Alaska, if the government
would withdraw t-ntirely from its
participation in coci mining. Priv
ate capital will not hesitate to enter
the field and Its oferation of mines
would be of more benefit to the ter
ritory than sirnilai operations car
ried out by the government." he
said.
Pri\alo Operators Ru»v
Two mines operated by private
capital under tbt leasing system,
said Mr. Anderson, are producing in
a small way and w.ll Increase their
capacity as more extensive workings
are developed. One of these, the
Evan Jones compa.iv, is producing
125 tons per day. while the second
company has an ojtput of 75 tons
daily. The engineering commission
takes a substantial portion of both
outputs, the remainder being sold
in Anchorage and vicinity. A ship
ment of 100 tons is now on the dock
at Seward awaiting shipment to Se
attle. while a seconj shipment is to
go forward to Cordova on the first
freighter.
Cost of Production I« High
Vnder existing conditions, the
present cost of production of Mat*
nuska coal is too great for the oper
ators to compete with foreign coal
in Southeastern Alaska markets,
said Mr. Anderson. He predicted, j
however, that there would be some
reduction in producing costs with
in a short time. Two factors will j
enter into this reduction. One will
be a reduction in wages and the
other in freight carrying charges
Common labor in the coal mines, he
said, is being paid $S.60 per day.
which, with heavy freight rates on
a short haul from the mines to the
Anchorage docks, combine to keep
up the price of coal even in the lo
cal markets. Eventually, he said,
it will be possible to supply the en
tire Alaska fuel needs from the
Matanuska field.
Gold Mines Flourishing
The Willow Creek gold mining
industry, according to Mr. Ander
son, was never in a better and more
promising condition than at the
present time. The Willow Creek
mines, which has b*^sn operating the
Keadv Bullion during the past sea
son. has purchased two other val
uable properties in the district and
plan immediate development. One
of thew properties. the War Baby
group of claims, brought flJ.VOO?
and the other, purchased from th»
Bartbolf interests. brought aln-cx
as much. The Willow Creek mire*

Anhnrage \errr Rettct
The town of Anchorage was never
in better condition. Mid Mr Ander

Ihw normally so folln-<ri»i< the hoi
idays The town is on a solid basis
and its future assured Business is
coming to the town from all along
the ra iroad and adds to Its general
prosperous conditio n.
Talks on Politic*
Interest in thing* political is be
ginning to awaken In the Third Pi
vision. said Vr Anderson. He ;s of
the opinion thai itelcgate Suther
land cannot carry that division In
either the primaries or the general
election. It is not certain, he said,
that 1- V Kay. .if Seward, will he
