"WASHING COAL"
4 Useful and Helpful Process with
Fuel.
Mines and Minerals.

Mines and Minerals.
The purpose of washing coal Is to free n
as nearly as practicable of all matter that
reduces it's heating capacity or has a det-
rimental effect upon the metal Produced
with such coal. or with coke made from
such coal.
The impurities in coal are of two kinds
such as are chemically passive but which
do not produce heat. hut. on the contrary
absorb heat and clog the openings in the
CRATES by forming ashes and clinkers: they
must be repeatedly handled, shipped and
freight paid for them and are a burden all
around.
The other kinds OF impurities are chiefly
iron pyrites, an ore composed OF iron ana
sulphur. containing as much as So per cent
of the latter element There occurs also
mains in the ashes The sulphur and phos-
porus are both injurious TO the oualitv
of iron produced in a blast furnace. and for
this reason II is very Important that coal
or coke for blast furnace use shall be as
free from those two elements as possible /:
The phosphorus occurs in the ash proo,Ic
ing matter. and remains there unless IN is
given an opportunity TO chemically com bine
with iron, lime or other matter for which
IL has an affinity.
The value OF furnace coke is based. anar,
from general commercial reasons. upon IFS
degree of purity from ashes. sulphur and
phosphorus.
The ashes entering a blast furnace. with
the coke, cannot be disposed OF as under
ordinary conditions. as. for instance. when
fuel is burned upon CRATES. but IL must be
melted and thus converted into stag But
the heat In a blast furnace is not sufficient
ly intense to melt the ashes. except II some
other element Is added TO the charge which
melts readily and has the property OF in
ducing the ashes TO melt also. Such ele-
ments are In metallurgy called fux: one of
the most efficient and cheapest is lime
stone and this Is used for converting NOT
only ashes. but also all nonmetallic matter

contained in the iron ore into liquid Stag.
But apart from the quantity OF iux re-
quired to liquify the earthly ingredients Of
ore, it takes two pounds of limestone for
every pound of ashes brought into the fur
mace. If, in accord with this, We consider
the amount of ashes charged into a fur
mace consuming, say 300 tons of coke per
day and which coke contains say 10 per
cent of ashes, then we find that the ashes
charged amounts to thirty tons, and the
limestone consumed i'm melting the ashes
is sixty tons. Now. assuming that the cost
OF this be 81 per ton, comprising Quarrying,
loading. shipping. unloading and charging
into the furnace, there IL "a daily expendi-
ture OF $50, which is in round figures 81. 600
per year. and represents per cent. inter-
est on a capital of $4,000. For this and
the other reasons. the price paid for fur
mace coke Is based upon it's greater or
lesser freedom from impurities, which is
ascertained by chemical analysis.

The Cold weather Kept Exhibitors
from Endangering Horses.
The coaching parade announced for yes
terday afternoon was failure owing to the
severity of the weather, which caused sew
eral of the horsemen to deem 1t advisable
not to take their horses out for the parade.
w. B. White, of Cleveland, has hand
some park coach here and six coach horses,
but he said they suffered from the cold
yesterday and he did not care to take the
chance Of taking them out for a parade and
jeopardizing their future usefulness. Other
coach owners were Of the same mind as
Mr.. White Horses for coaches have to
for this reason the big tallyhos and
coaches in the city could not be used for
the parade because there was not a suffi-
cient number of coach horses.
An immense crowd gathered on the down.
town streets early in the afternoon and
waited patiently for the display of coaches,
but it was disappointed. Washington

entries to participate A. E. Ashbrook, of

to use livery horses, because his own
coach horses were indisposed for parade
purposes. George e. Palmer, of Denver,
had his coach, "Glen Eyrie," out with
four of Flanner & Buchanan's coach horses
hitched to it. Mr.. Palmer's horses were
i'm such a condition that he desired to keep
them in the stables so that they would be
in good shape for the ring events in which
they are entered. Those were the only
two coaches that appeared on the streets
and, after driving around Monument place
for a while. they were driven to the horse
show.

THE s.BRONCHO BUSTERS



vfted to See 1t Broken.
George L. Goulding, manager Of the
''broncho busters" talks interestingly
about their exhibition and some Of the
methods of their peculiar vocation. He
said last night: "Of the riders Of these
animals, some of them dangerous, Harry
Brennan is perhaps the best known. He
won the championship in Denver and wears
two belts, one of them from the Denver
Post and the other from the Denver Fes-
tival Association. To achieve this distinc-
ton that of the best rider of the Colorado
Horse Show, it was necessary for Brennan
to sit a saddle over horses that have buff
faloed' men who have known nothing else
but experiences with horses that refuse to
be mastered by intrepid riders Brennan,
when he rides a horse, IL 1T Is not known
as a man-killing brute, doesn't worry much
If he doesn't succeed in sitting the sad
die Instead he seems more at home when
the animal tries 10 unhorse him by making
Jumps and plunges. He rides In the pc
culiar style OF men carrying a cows foal
on the horn OF the saddle. When ii Is
necessary, as il often Is, for the beast he
bestrides to make jump over seemingly
impossible ditch or gorge he throws him
self forward in the saddle, relinquishing
what possible hold he may have on his
bridle-wise horse.
"Brennan is a man who knows the value
OF a good cow-pony, and he uses IL not
only as means OF showing what he
knows about riding a horse but what can
he done with a horse carrying a man who
is riding not for pleasure but business.
In addition to this Brennan has attained
perfection in executing horse tricks. such
as picking up his sombrero at a gallop,
uncinching his saddle, guiding his horse
by the weight of his knee, jumping on and
off with the stride OF the horse and per-
forming those tricks usual TO men who are
as much at home on the back OF horse
as they are on the chair OF a ranch
kitchen.
