The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-31

Provo, Jan SO.-Bishop Keller Of the
Fourth ward, who is one of the stock
holders of the Provo Anthracite COM
pany, invited The Herald represent
alive to visit the tithing office today.
There he found q bright, hot fire in the
office stove made bv burning Rock
canyon anthracite coal The stove is
an ordinary soft coal stove and better
results can be obtained from a hard
coal burner The coal that is now
being sold here from the mine contains
a larger percentage of ash than an
thracite, but it is believed that when
a greater depth is reached this excess
of ash will disappear This is the Opin
ION of Professor Marcus Jones, who has
made a geological examination of the
mine and an analysis Of the coal. He
claims that the ash is produced from
foreign substances which have become
incorporated in the vein near the sur
face and which will not be found
farther in. And as clean crystals of
the coal show only Z per cent ash, the
theory seems reasonable. The COM
pany, in order to test this theory, IS
driving a tunnel 500 feet below where
the coal is now being taken from, and
it is believed a larger and better vein
of coal will be found. 1t is expected
that Dr. Talmage viii be down next
Saturday to make q geological eXam1-
nation of the property.
