made of camel coal from the mines
Of the Kentucky Block Camel Coal
Co., of Camel City, Ky. Inside
the arch there are huge blocks of
camel and other Kentucky Goals.
One OF the blocks, the largest in
the collection Of camel Goals, is
Axe l-2 feet and Is exhibited by W.
ID. Archibald, of the White Oak
Camel Co., Of West Liberty, Ky.
Most Of these camel Goals show an
aggregate Of 81 to 81 per cent. Of
fixed carbon and volatile matter.
Some Of the bituminous Goals from
various mines Of the state are six
feet high, and one measures eight
feet two inches without parting.
The Northern Coal ~ Coke Co.
makes n particularly interesting cx-
bibit OF large blocks Of coal. The
-. Bernard Company exhibits see
tions Of coal from its No. II vein
six feet five inches thick, and from
the No. . vein five feet six inches
thick, together with coke made
from a mixture Of these two Goals
and Campbell washer for preparing
II for the ovens, resulting in an
extra fine coke. All the cokes ex-
hibited have excellent analyses at
tached, one Of which shows fixed
carbon Of S5.S5.
The coke specimens shown indi.
cate the existence Of an important
industry in this line. II is stated
that new mines oi coking coal are
hcing opened continually, while the
old ones are constantly increasing
their capacity
