THE COAL SUPPLY.
when II Disappears what Will
MISUNDERSTANDING Control.

People Of a reflective turn of mind have
been impressed with the fact that the
coal mines of America are likely to be ex-
hausted in the future and may seriously
impede commercial rogres when such
a long heralded catastrophe occurs.
Among the TRANSACTIONS of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers may be
found a paper entitled Some fuel Prob
lems,' setting forth figures relative to this
condition of things. AS stated, more than
70,000, 600 tons of coal were produced in
1886. which quantity subsequently, increased
in 1889 to more than 140. 5000 g tons. and in
1898 to 100000 This may be traced to
the increase in steam railroads, trolley,
gas ms electric light plants, iron foun-
dries. manufacturing industries and do
nestle uses.
A nations prosperity hangs upon its
natural. resources. of which the all i'm
portant one Is fuel The huge ocean
steamers, tugboats and local steamers
consume annually a considerable quantity
OF coal.
From an Industrial standpoint the Unit
ed States has just begun to exert itself.
Some great national calamity might pos
ssbiy put a temporary stop to Americas
consumption; this would slightly af-
feet the present rate. but 1t could never
exercise and influence upon the Inevitable
Increase which the growth of factories
and greater extension of engineering en-
terprises will surely produce, and which
the present prospect would lead us to re-
gard with the most serious contemplation.
Our bank account of coal is rapidly d.
min ssling and the mining of it involves
a loss of seventy per cent. Nature
charges a heavy discount for the power
we use both in ITS potential form and nee
essary transformation. One hundred
pounds of coal in the min means thirty
for transportation, from which one per
cent. gives light. The hundred pounds in
the earth delivers d light the equivalent
of three-tenths and as power three
pounds. The loss is enormous and indi-
Gates the necessity for the more econo-
mical mining of coal and its less waste
