The year 1950 has seen another operation opening up, the Cripple Creek Mining Company, adjacent to the Usibelli property. This operation is also producing coal for the defense effort.

These coals in the Matanuska Field are the highest grade coals being mined in Alaska, and supply the highest Btu per pound. A new development west of the Matanuska Field near Houston on the Alaska Railrcad has supplied a substantial tonnage of semi-bitu- minous coal by strip operation. The Houston Coal Co. is presently in the process of reorganization with an active development program to | open up the semi-bituminous coals | of that area.

In the Barrow Fleld a limited produetion has been obtained from the Meade River Mine near Pt. Barrow where a small operation has been conducted during the win- | ter months to supply coal for the schools, hospitals, and other insti- tutions of the Alaska Native Serv-| ice.
