The Coal Supply.

There is caosgh of 1t ga Psassyiraai "a

Years, az the Prcsca, Rate Of Con.
sumption.
The Neu York Times has been pub.
fishing some very interesting figures
complied by Prof Sheaffer, relating to
the extent aud depth of the great coal
deposits Of Pennsylvania. This esti.
mate says The Times. gives GA years
as the life OF the coal trade at the pre-.
sent rate OF production. At a rate of
lOO,0O0,0 900 tons per annum, the fields
would last 1913 years but that produc.
ton for a single year will not be reach.
ed III hundred years. and probably
never. III the consumption increases to
even 50,Oo0.OOO per annum at the end of
hundred years, considering the limi.
ted area supplied and tho competition
with bituminous coal for making steam.
il will be q marvellous growth. BESIDES
frot. Sheafier has not taken into ac.
count nj the thickness that may ulti.
mately DO worked at profit, and the
allowance for the vase is based on past
experience rather than on the possibil.
tiles oil more economical and careful
mining. 1t therefore seems reasonable
to expect that the demand for au,,.ra.
cite coal will not cxhaus. the dccosit in
the area, limited rs il is, under 400 or
ooo years. So far rs this generation is
concerned, the deposit is as though it
were inexhaustiblc. The area, is how.

fore easily be given speculative value.
This has already been discovered by
spectators 10 the great injury of the
coal business, as will he seen hereafter.
Ii may lie OF interest TO noto in this
connection that the area OF tho coal
lands in England is stated at 1900
square miles, or moro than tweRty five
times as much IS the area of Lsstnsyl.
vania anthracite. The thickness of the
veins in the English coal measures is
however, greatly less than of the anthra.
cite. The entire coal area Of the United
States is estimated at 10000 square
miles, which is IN under estimate prob
ably, since vast areas Of gool coal are
newly discovered west OF the Mississip.
pi. including, as it is fairly determined.

RADIO. There is also a deposit of anthra.
otto in lthodo Island and part OF Mas.
sachusctts which has been worked and
is now to some extent. But it is SO far
rs known, o: inferior quality for most
uses. 1t is quite clear that the onor-
nous deposit Of hituminous coal in the
United States must limit and restrict
the area where anthracite can be the
principal fuel used and must also con.
fine anthracite speedily 10 use for few
purposes for which its character and
quality make the use unavoidable and
very desirable.
