the WORLDS GOAL FIELDS.

The most interesting compilation OF
statistics that has recently been laid be.
fore the public IL one on the 1905 coal
product Of the United States. The fig.
urcs are by Prof. r. w. Parker. statis-
tician Of the United States Geological
Survey, and are therefore reliable as
well rs interesting. Mr.. Parker opens
up by showing the enormous extent Of
the coal industry. He gives figures In
support Of the assertion that upwards
Of 2OO,O0O,OOO tons Of coal were hoIsted
from the various mines during the year
which ended with Dec. 81. 1905. TO
those who may consider such figures
very commonplace we will say that
they represent nearly 2,OOO.OOO more
tons than the total output Of the world
In 1870. and four times more than the
combined productions Of the British Isles
In 1850. Russia. which Alexander ii.
once declared had "coal enough to
warm the world and cook Its food for
thousand years." produced only 60.
100000 tons Of such fuel between 1901
and 1889, a period Of 50 years. This
was but little more than One-fOurth rs
many tons In three generation as the
United States now produce In a single
calendar year. TO further show the
valnness OF Alexander's boast, we will
say that the total area OF Russia's coal
field Ii only 1900 square miles. which
Is the exact estimate placed on the area
OF the Missouri coal fields by Prof.
Swallow years ago. England, which
formerly made the proud boast Of being
the "cOal-pit" Of the world IL now an
nually raising an average Of but 1885,.
100000 tons of fuel coal, and at that
rate she has only enough to run her In.
dustries about 40 years. without fig.
urIng any ratio OF increase. Great
Brltain's coal fields never did exceed
over 1900 square miles In area-abOut
One-third as great as the estimate
made for Missouri by Prof. Swallow
and they have been steadily drained Of
their fuel treasure for upwards of 700
years. The United States have 2lO.-
$50 square miles of carbOnifcrOus for.
nation. More than 1OO,OOO,OOO acres
Of the above coal area contain beds
averaging from to q feet In thickness
From this 1t appears that we can mine
POO, 100000 tons year for home con.
sumption for several centuries yet to
come and have enough to spare each
year to keep the manufacturing liner
ests OF Russia ana Great Britain from
tagging for want of fuel.
