NAVT DECLARES
COAL SUITABLE
AT CHICKALOON
Jests Show it Desirable foi
Steaming—Bering River
Coal “Undesirable.”
As a result of extensive steamlni
tests, the coal from the Bering Rive:
field has been officially prououncec
“undesirable" coal for the N'avj
and “suitable for use only in ar
emergency,” while the Chickaloot
coal was declared to be "eminentlj
suitable for general use in the Nava;
service and compares favorably with
the eastern coal (presumably Poca
hontas) ordinarily used.” Neither
of the mines producing the coal used
in the tests are now operating.
The tests were made on the U. S.
Ship Texas, and comprised both
port and underway teats. Three
separate tests were made of the
Bering River coal and four of the
Chlckaloon fuel. The former Is char
actemed as a semi-anthracite coal
and the latter as a semi bituminous
coal.
The Bering River coal was found
hard to fire, cllnkerlng in masses,
choking air spaces in the grates
and damaging grate bars in the port
test * and even more unsatisfactory
when the ship was under forced draft.
The rate of consumption in the un
derway tests was considerably higher
than, for Eastern coal.
The Chickaloon tests were highly
satisfactory. The coal burned read
ily, coked together and could be
worked easily In the fire with u
hoe. No trouble was encountered
with cllnkering. In the 15-knot test
the rate of consumption was about
the JlETrrJf fWr with eastern coal
for fnesameioad but the Chickaloon
product seemed to give less trouble
I than the eastern ami no damage wai
[done to furnace fittings.
In the 20 knot test no difficult]
was experienced in maintaining tin
: load and the rate of cousumptiot
; was somewhat smaller than the east
j ern coal rate. In the remainlni
i two tests, ten-knot and port, the
! results were satisfactory to the Navy
officials.
The Bering Kiver coal used in the
tests was furnished by Falcon Jos
lin and associates who had expended
more than $500,000 in attempting
coal development. They held a nura
her of claims under lease. Since
the test, all of the ground exeepj
a single 160-acre claim has beet
I surrendered by the company, the ex
'peuse of holding being too great t<
I be justified in view of the adverse
report of the Navy.
‘ The Chlckaloon coal was produce!
! at the Navy workings in the Matan
j u.ska field. This work has now beet
| abandoned and the mine turned bad
j to the Department of the Interior
, which discontinued its operation ant
! exploration.

Kvery baseball player who desires
to try out for the Juneau Eire De
partment team Is urged to turn out
for practice at City Park at 6:15|
p. m. today. Every position on the
team is open for men who can show
ability, declared Manager Jack Wood
ard, who is trying to line up a strong
combination to enter In the local
Fourth of July tournament.
Rumors have been afloat to , the
effect that some of the strongest
| local players have lined up to play
with Douglas in the tournament, ac
, cording to Manager Woodard, who
. said he hoped the reports had been
exaggerated. It is hard to believe,
i he added, that men who are taking
such an interest in the local City
League and residing in Juneau would
refuse to turn out for the first team
If they reattze their services - are
needed. “We want every ball player
in town who desires to try out for
the team to be at practice tonight.
