THE COAL SUPPLY OF GREAT
BRITAIN.

Among the coal producing countries
hrst II has occupied his position
since 1899, when its output OF coal
became greater than that OF Great
Britain. Germany ranks third and
Austria Hungary fourth. For about
forty wears Great Britain has been
troubled by question which can
o: the oiner important coal producing
countries namely. whether the time
has not come 10 restrict ny legislation
the export OF her coal in order to con
serve II Tor national use. Some
aiarmisi estimates of the available
supply have from time to time been
put forth by leading IInglisnmen.
In 1877 royal commission made \
report ON the subject and raassured
The country, At the rate OF produc-
ton then prevailing the coal supply
OF The United Kingdom, the commits
sion found would last some $50
years
But the rate steadily increased
thereafter. and some years ago the
d'-cnssion oi the coal supply aud the
need Of legislation restricting exports
OF taat source of power was actively
renewed. ln 1901 another royal com
mission WAS appointed TO look into the
matter and make more thorough re-
port.
Consul General Evans sends the de
partment OF commerce and labor a
summary and review of the report re
Gently presented by the commission.
II is Interesting 10 learn that no
cause tor apprehension was discover
ed by this body. While 1T concludes
that there is no real substitute for
coal--ail otner sources OF power but
slightly relieving the demand for that
commodity-it also positively declares
that there is no present necessity for
artificial restriction Of coal exports
by tax or otherwise
Following the precedent of the com
mission of 1871 the recent body
adopted 1000 feet as the limit OF prac
tlcable depth in working and one foot
MS he minimum workable thickness
On this basis the available quantity
OF coal in the proved" coal fields OF
the United Kingdom Is put at 100.
gl+ ,66s. 900 tons. or over lO,IOI 900.
oUO tons IN excess of the quantity
mentioned by the previous commits
sion. Al the present increasing rate
OF output this supply will last about
450 years. But the commission does
not believe that the rate OF increase
In the output-2ls per cent per annum
on the average-can long continue.

AT recent meeting of directors of
the Chicago, milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad company the board formally
authorized the building of the st. Paul
extension to the Pacific coast from
Evarts, S. D., to Seattle and Tacoma.
1t was specified in the official an
nouncement that the work of construc-
ton is to begin forthwith. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost will be about
$500, 900, 900. While all details of the
route have not been decided on, the
line will run toward the Rocky noun
tains west by north of west to Butte.
Thence 1t will be extended westerly,
crossing the Bitter Root mountains
through Lolo pass and ultimately con-
necring at Wallula. Wash, the termi-
nus,of the recently incorporated Pacific
railroad, which runs to that point
from Seattle.
The st. Paul will also seek an outlet
at Tacoma, and will touch Helena,
Spokane and Portland.
The work of construction will be be-
gun simultaneously at Seattle on the
Pacific road and at Evarts. The line
farther south, which is in course of
construction form Chamberlain, S. D. +,
to Rapid City, in the Black hills, 200
mile project, will also be connected
with the northwestern extension branch
line.
1t is probable that branch lines will
extend to the Occur d 'Alene country
east of Spokane, for the mining and
timber business of that section.
