GENERAL WASHBURN TELLS THE
MINNEAPOLIS PEOPLE HE HAS
PLENTY OF COAL.
Minneapolis, Sept. 2S.-There is q
possibility that the coal situation in
Minneapolis may be relieved by the
presence of the large fields of Ignite
coal which are being opened up in the
northwest.
Last season there were some ship
ments of Ignite to Minneapolis, but
there was only n mine operating,
and tina tcould not nearly supply the
demand. Now capital has taken up
the matter; there are other mines, and
they promise to have a supply that will
keep the market filled, if certain things
come to pass.
w. D. Washburn, who is interested
in the largest mine in the northwest,
stated yesterday that it was only a
matter of rates between the company
and the consumer, and those rates were
railroad rates.
If the Northern Pacific company
would make rates from the mines to
Minneapolis as cheap as the Great
Northern makes rates on this material
from the mines on its line, Mr.. Wash
burn thinks the coal famine will be
greatly relieved.
I'VE have improved machinery
which will allow us to mine this coal
much cheaper than the other compan-
les" said he. Il expect next week to
have a carload of our coal come
down, and then it will be put to a prac-
teal test.
ut is a much better coal than the
ignite that has been coming to Mime
apolis, much harder, and does not dis
integrate so readily. In fact, If kept
under cover, it will keep as we'll as any
coal.
1--WE have now in sight, where we
have drilled, a million tons, and the
supply is practically limitless. 1t is
only a matter Of rates whether the
people of Minneapolis have a coal that
will do much to determine the coal
question in this section.
when our first carload gets here l
intend putting it to the severest tests.
l will use it in my home, and also in
the greenhouse, and Washburn Home
will also give a test as to it's capacity
for steaming.
81 am quite sure that it will be sue
cessful. Our coal is not a cokeing
coal, judged by the report o. an expert
who investigated it. He says it is Of
fine quality. however, and we are much
pleased with his report.
There are other ways it can be
used, and l look for a bricking system
which will make it practicable for loco
motive purposes, and other uses of that
class"
Mr.. W ashburn does not wish to say
much about the coal of his district un-
til he has made arrangements to get it
to Minneapolis cheaply enough to make
it's sale practicable, but if the rate is
forthcoming it is evident the public
need not care so much if eastern coal
does O into the skies.
