Remains After All OF the Mar'
ketabIe Coal Is screened.
One of the interesting features of last
nights meeting of the board of trade
was paper read by j. Gardner san
derson. of this city, on his experiments
in producing gas from the anthracite
coal dust left after all of the grades
of coal that are marketable are screen
ed. The paper caused sensation
among the members of the board 10
whom the facts contained in II
were n revelation. Mr.. Sanderson's pa
per was as follows
During a recent visit of the Secre-
tary of the Scranton Beard of Trade,
to the experimental gas plant erected
early in the summer near the Columbus
colliery ON Washington avenue. ne re-
oueSted me to give to the public
through the board of trade. n state
ment of the results attained at TINS
plant. together with such information
as to the value. uses and possibilities
of the gas there produced as would
likely be of interest to this commun-
ity
I'm answer to the request I have pre-
pared the following memorandum OF
facts to which | desire To call the at
tention of the users of power, that they
may see the immense nossibilities living
dormant in culm piles of the anthracite
r.pions
producer gas made with anthracite
coal is not new product but one
which has been growing in use for sev-
eral years. In 1893 the state commits
sion on the Waste of Local Mining
gave partial list of uses of the small
sizes of anthracite with Gas Produc-
ers' naming fourteen different manu-
featuring puroses, and referred to the
vast range of uses to which the gas Oh
tained is applicable.
Mr. CAN'T in Cassiers November
'95 under the head of Gaseous Fuels
described the various appliances for
producing gas with prepared anthra-
cite, with analysis of the gas, it's use
and efficiency in gas engines, etc, and
Mr.. Thwiate in the same magazine un-
der under the heading Cheap Gas
Power discussed the comparative ell
iiciency of steam and gas engines,
showing the superiority OF the gas en-
Sine.
