OUR COAL PRODUCTION.
America Has Mining Advantages
Not Possessed by Great
Britain.

After the lapse of century of ac-
tive mining, hundreds of millions of
tons of coal have been extracted from
the limited areas of Great Britain,
and it has come to such Il pass that
the high prices hitherto prevailing
are absolutely required to meet the
expenses of production and transport
tation, for now it is necessary to go
deeper into the ground for the coal.
Thinner seams have been worked, the
more attractive deposits having been
exhausted. All the entries now are
long, comparatively few new mines
having been opened in Great Britain
IN the last ten years, says a writer in
the Engineering Magazine.
A moments thought will make it
plain that underground haulage and
hosting are enormously expensive
methods of transportation, and that
certainty that the factors will increase

industry grows older. makes it plain

furniture, from sewing machine to

AS soon as the men and material
