that il is deemed necessary to suboin any recon.
m.ndation of its quality 1t is sufficient to state that
for ror CRATES stoves, and culinary uses no coal IS
more generally approved i'm this place; while rs fuel
for steam engines for mating, heating brewers and
Overs coppers Networks foun res, and rolling and
sitting mills. the Lehgh has decidedly the preference
account Of its greater durability and cleanliness to
the extent Of more than twothrds OF the aggregate
consumption of anthracite coal for those purposes IN
Philadelphia and its vicinity.
