COAL IN MOUNTAINS
DESCRIBED BY PROF. SToRRS in
REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY, PART ~.
Occupy About Sixty Per Cent of the
Length Of a Belt Along the East
ern Base of the Main Range
More Than One Hundred Thou
sand Square Miles.

Washington, D. c., March 11.-(Spe-
cial to The Republican.)-Th magni-
tude of the aggregate area Of the
Rocky mountain coal fields is as yet
scarcely appreciated. AS described by
Mr.. L. s. Storrs in part three of the
United States Geological Survey. now
in press, they occupy about 90 per cen
Of the length of a belt along the east
ern base of the main range. extending
southwark from the Canadian boun-
Diary fully 1000 miles, through Mon
tana, Wyoming. Colorado and New
occurs along the western base of the
Rocky mountain range in Wyoming
Utah. Colorado and New Mexico. Be
tween these two belts. in the Park re-
gion, are lei isolated basins. In
addition to these generally biiuminous
fields, large areas of the plains in Mon
SO underlain by coal. usually Ignite,
but valuable for local use.
According to the latest estimates,
the aras Of the collaborating forma-
tions in the six states ami ore tori
tory of the Rocky mountains are, for
anthracite, bituminous and lignitic-bi-
luminous coal. 1850 square miles, and
for Ignite, $500 square miles.
The history of the development of
the various Goa fields of the Rocky
mountains is essentially the history of
the general development of the region.
which has no parallel elsewhere in the
United States, and in which. as in the
case of the western interior coal fields,
the great transportation lines have
been the determining factor.
In 1880 the Rocky mountain coal
fields produced about 1000, 900 short
tons Of coal: In 1890 they produced
about 5000, 900 tons; In 1900 almost 49,
0 10000 tons; and their estimated ca
pacity was over 81 ,0O0, 900 tons. In

vantage which will be offered by being
the first in the field, and once il has
been placed dcyoud all doubt that the
kootcnay ores can liz treated for from
&3 to tl.5O, there will undoubtedly bc u
big rush Of capital into that country.
Even now, according to the interior pa.
pers, money is coming in in anticipation
Of the success Of the process. II will not
only mean immense activity in mining
circles, but IL will mean u revival in all
the interior cities and towns. A. an ex-
ample Of what may be- looked for IN this
direction, Rossland, where business de.
precision has existed for the past year
aud u half and where the commercial
interests have suffered M severely ut the
hands Of stock manipulutors, should
double its population in the course Of
two or three years. The tremendous
bodies Of low grade ore in the hills sur
rounding that town assure its Ierman.

ing values of eight dollars can be treat.

result were obtained, Rossland would
very quickly rival. II it did not surpass.
