It is of comparatively small limensions, and this, in connection with the great distance to be traveled over water and the scant provision for patrolling the course has caused their expedition to be regarded here as ex tremely hazardous.

A crew of enginesms, comprising the staff of the refining company and engineers in the employ of the Bur- lington railroad company were on the property yesterday, running lines and establishing and marking, lines of various parts of the new plant All the operations at the refinery site indicate that the refining plant will be under actual construction in short order. It is rumored, although not officially substantiated, that part of the equipment for the new plant is already rolling to Casper and that labor crows have been recruited for excavation and construction work to report for duty in the near future. Despite the active work officials of the Wyoming Refining company are stiM reticent about making any state- mit. When questioned today| Mr. Ryan admitted that the engineering | ews were working on the property but said that he would rather make | no statement at this time. | Mr. Ryan also reserved a statement * as to when the actual construction | work would be undertaken on the re- } finery units and when questioned re- garding the movement of: machinery and employment of labor forces snid that interesting statements could be made during the coming week but that the company had no announce ments to make at this time. Rumors that one or more of the new pipelines which are about to be built to the Salt Creek field would have terminals on the property of the refining company were not confirmed by Mr. Ryan. He said that details of should come from the companies interested. oa CARD OF THANKS.

Coal Lands To Be Transferred WASHINGTON, March 30. — The navy department's entire investment in Alaskan coal lands principally Chickaloon mines, will be transferred to the interior department effective next May, !t was announced by tary Fall. Transfer of the navy department's investment was proposed recently by Secretary Denby to Secretary Fall. ‘The navy’s investment amounted to $1,100,000 for the development of the Matanuska field in which ts the Chickaloon mine, where approximate ly 400,000 tons of coal had been blocked out. Diamond drilling has de veloped 2,500,000 tons at Cold creek. two and one-half miles from Chricka- loon. The coal from the Matanuska fields requires washing, Secretary Fall said, but after washing shows 14,000 b. t. 8. per pound, and is said to com. pare favorably with Pocahontas coal.

It might be said that the star of the program was seen in Fitch Cooper, “jake” impersonator, who kept up a continual laugh with his stories pune tuated here and there with musical stunts of original as well as of artistic nature. The hand-saw imitations were unusual and catchy. The next stunt which was musical as well as odd imitated the old church organ on the violin and drew much applause Next the guitar was used in orchestra and drum fashion and the last number was old time dance music on a strange fiddle. Fitch was called to many en- cores and responded in a good hearted way, being “very much at home.” The last act was a tumbling and nerobatic number of unusual finish, by the Florenz Duo, while the little third Florenz drew 2 laugh just be- fore the curtain fell. As well as wear- ing elaborate costumes, the women acrobat was agile and Braceful and assisted greatly in putting the number across. Florenz, himeelf, was fast and clever and did some performances of high merit. The feature picture, “Diamond Car- Usle” closed the bill of the evening. SLAYER OF TAX!
