Seattle Inquiry Session Delves Into Coal Land Claims

The four day inquiry into the validity of the Alaska coal land claims heard cross examination of Andrew Kennedy, a government coal expert who inspected the lands last summer. Kennedy testified most work on the claims was prospecting with some effort to gauge vein thickness and quality, noting a tunnel driven in one claim with apparent intent to work several others.
