THE NORTH ERN COAL FIELDS.—At a meeting of
the institution of mechanical engineers at Newcastle a few
days since, during a discussion on a paper read by Mr. N.
Wood, on " The improvements effected in the working of
coal mines during the past fifty years," Mr. Wood
said, the question as to the time when the coal
would be worked out was a very difficult one. Cal-
culations had been made, and three thousand years
had been stated. (Laughter.) Some made out that
the coal would be exhausted in 1,700 years. He could
only say he had seen a great hole made in it during the
last 50 years. (Hear, hear.) When he first came into
the trade, there was not a colliery south of the road from
Sunderland to Durham. The whole of the coal field to
the south of that road was dormant ; there were no Hartle-
pools, Seahams, or Tees at all. lie bad bad an oppor-
tunity of seeing a very large number of plans of this dis-
trict, and they were beginning to be very black. How-
ever, as they worked out one seam another would come
into operation ; and they had not yet, he thought, ascer-
tained the whole number of beds of coal in the coal-field.
He thought Mr. Fairbairn might rest satisfied that there
were at least one thousand five hundred or one thousand
seven hundred years' supply of coal; and probably in that
time, gentlemen being very ingenious, they would find
some means of raising steam without coal. However, the
lower coal would certainly come into operettas when the
of Per was worked out; but no doubt the beet coal was
