40 width, all shades Called at tlic Pugct Sound City on His Way to Alaska. Win re He Will Examine Coal Heposits. The following is taken from the Seattle (Wash.) Post Intelligencer, of Tuesday. Aug. 1st: 'William Grillilh, a mining expert of national reputation, was in this city yesterday en route to Alaska, where he will examine into the commercial aspect of the coal deposits in the Matanuska valley, and upon whose report will depend the expenditure of more than a million dollars, represented in the development of the properties and in the extension of the Alaska Central railway to the fields.

"Mr. Griffith, who resides In West Pittston, was a caller at the Alaska club yesterday afternoon, in company with General Manager W. B. Poland, of the Alaska Central. He will sail north the latter part of this week.

"Aside from the deposits in the Controller bay region, government reports state that the Matanuska valley is the only locality where semi an thraeite coal is known to exist in commercial quantities. Lignitic coals have a very wide distribution in the territory, but have been mined only on Admiralty island, where all operations ceased several years ago. "It is believed by those familiar with the Matanuska valley region that the deposits there are sulHeiently abundant to constitute large factor in the fuel resources of Alaska, which will not only warrant the development of the fields, but also the building of. a branch road to the region for the handling of the product. Mr.

Griffith's report will determine whether the Alaska Central will extend a branch line into the valley. "For more than 30 years prior to the establishment of depots where foreign coal is kept, reyenue cutters and other vessels whose coal supplies have run short in Alaskan waters have been compelled to put into Cape Prince of Wales for temporary stores. The latter point is 2,000 miles northwest of the locality where the Alaska Central purposes to deliver the coal to oceangoing vessels, in the event Mr. Griffith's report is such as to warrant the construction of the branch line into the Matanuska valley." NOW AT REST. Remains of Little Mary Peck Laid Away in West Pittston Cemetery.

On Saturday afternoon the remains of Mary Hart Peek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jos. Peck, were laid to rest in West Pittston cemetery.

A large company of relaT tives and friends gathered at the family home, on Washington street, at 4:30 o'clock, when the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Sev erson, who read comforting passages, from the Scriptures, offered prayer, and delivered a brief address that was full of consolation to the bereaved parents. Dr. Severson was at As bury Park when little Mary passed away and his reference to the last time she left the house, when she spoke to him in her winning, childlike way, was very touching.

Miss Keller, a member of the Kim Park quartette, sang the soprano solo, "Come, Ye Disconsolate," and the beautiful hymn, ''In the Sweet Bye and Bye." was rendered by Miss Margaret Dorr on the violin, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. H. M. Damon. The interment was made privately in West Pittston cemetery.

The little casket was covered with beautiful; Nelson Peck. Ralph Gregory, Frank Kaiser and Tallie Evans were the pall bearers. BAPTIZED IN SUSQUEHANNA.
