Anthracite Coal.

There are but four anthracite coal
fields in Pennsylvania, and their aggre-
gate area is but ass square miles. Reli-
able engineers estimate that the amount
of coal the four fields will yield, if the
present wasteful method of mining be
continued, cannot be more than $780,
600, 200 tons. But the year 1882 has
taken 29, 500, 900 tons of anthracite coal
from Pennsylvania mines, and it is ex-
pected that the amount taken will be
greater, rather than less, in future years,
so that the supply will be exhausted in a
century, if not sooner. Besides Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia are
the only States which produce anthracite
coal, and their supply is insignificant.
The service performed by anthracite coal
in the development of the resources of
the United States has been so great that
the prospect of the exhaustion of the
supply, even q century hence, must be
regarded with much concern. The dec
laration that long before the century
ends anthracite coal will be luxury
which only the rich can enjoy, will cause
popular demand that the wasteful
method of mining known as the pillar
and breast be abandoned, and that the
more economical method employed in
English mines be substituted for it.
1t is true that the supply of bituminous
coal seems inexhaustible, although the
annual product of our bituminous mines
does not much exceed 100000 tons,
which is about one-fourth Of the coal pro-
duct in England. Ohio, which ranks
below Pennsylvania and Illinois in the
production of bituminous coal, can pro-
duce more than England, whose capacity
is already severely taxed. But the iron
and steel industries of the United States
could never have reached their present
proportions but for anthracite coal, and
the exhaustion Of the anthracite fields
will inevitably affect the prosperity of
the country, unless inventive genius de-
vises anew fuel to feed our blast furnaces
and move our engines--a contingency so
remote that the graVest considerations
remain to urge economy in anthracite
coal,-M. Y. Mail and Express
