Coal In Alabama.

The resources of this country I'm the
great staples of wealth are only yet be-
ginning to be understood. The "coal
epoch" is o very ancient one geOlogi-
cally, but q now "coal epoch" has
come in with the civilization OF this
century. Anthracite, which is peculiar
to America, was first used In 1904, and
as all know, Pennsylvania IL the chief
resource for this. West and South of
these anthracite fields are immense de-
posits of the softer, bituminous kinds :
the same which have given to England
its wealth. Under the spring Of q new
life since the war, the South is begin
ming to uncover its treasures, and Ala
bama, for one Of these States, now
claims to be richer than all Great Brit
ain ever was. The northern and cen
trail parts of it can boast Of fields COW
ering many more square, miles than
that kingdom. Heretofore these have
been commercially unavailable for
want of railroads and a port. But now
the strong hands of capital have Ibid
hold of the problem, and II the present
promises are fulfilled Alabama will, at
no very distant future, be second not
even to Pennsylvania. Railroads are
in process of construction which will
connect the coal region with Pensacola
on the Gulf. The harbor Of Pensacola
is one of the finest in the world. 1t
has a depth of water over its bar-21
feet at low tide-calculatedi to make
New Orleans and Mobile envious.-
Here the coal can be shipped at . low
cost, directly from the railroad into the
largest ships, which will have twenty
five feet to float in at the docks; and
from hence it will be distributed through
the Gull, to all the mercantile marine,
to the naval squadrons Of many ma
tions, and to South American ports,
saying nothing of the West Indies
This of new channels for the Southern
coal trade, is now attracting great at
