The most successful and remarkable gas
and coke plant In the country is that of
the New England Gas and Coke company
at Everett, Mass, where the new Otto
Hoffman, ovens, which save a great deal
of gas that was heretofore wasted, are
now in operation. A. M. Whitney, brother
of w. c. Whitney. is at the head of this
company. He and his associates have
found a Comstock Lode in Nova Scotia,
for they are also the body and soul of the
Dominion Coal company of Cape Breton,
where they have great beds of slack, 50
easily mined and so plentiful that they
can pay the tariff on it and transport it
to Boston for ore-haH Of the cost of any
United States coal in Boston This slack
is of little value for. any other purpose:
but it is just the thing for making coke
and gas: The Whitneys are going to
furnish Boston with both heating and IL
Illuminating gas as a by-product, and the
price. they get for that does not represent
all their profits, by any means.
! It is their plan to induce railroads to
use coke instead of coal. Coke has the
advantage of throwing off no cinders.
They can sell the coke so cheaply that
the rail. "a Is can afford to make the
change, and tho New York, New Haven
and Hartford is already introducing it.
AIRY one who lives near Standard Oil

products. To-day it can sell all, where
