Time Extended for Leasing Coal Lands in Alaska
Secretary Lane extended the leasing period for Alaska coal lands to August 1 to allow more thorough study by investors. The lands cover 23,370 acres in Bering River and 13,920 acres in Matanuska with high grade bituminous and anthracite coal. Leases run 50 years with tiered royalties, and government reservations cap monopoly risk, but mining by the government would require a separate act.
