Alaska coal grab blocked by government order
Washington June 2 The Cunningham Guggenheim coal claims in Alaska valued from 100 million to 1 billion dollars were canceled by Commissioner Dennet with Interior Secretary Fisher's approval. The decision halts the Morgan Guggenheim bid to grab Alaska coal, restoring lands to public domain for later reentry. It cites prior prearranged plans to unite claims under joint use for claimants, with no actual coal mined on the tracts. Fisher announced rapid action on remaining Alaska coal claims and urged new laws to better protect public interests.
