CHEAP COAL IN AUSTRALIA
So Abundant in New South Wales II
Sells for Fifty Cents
Ton.

Fifty cents a ton is the price they
pay for coal in New South Wales.
Coal is so abundant and cheap in New
South Wales that 1t can hardly be
said. in places. to add to the value Of
the surface. 1t is drawn out by ponies.
Beside it are an inexhaustible field of
limestone and permanent water. both
on a railway line. Rates of haulage
on minerals are extremely low. There
are enormous deposits Of iron ore OF
richness varying from 60 TO 80 per
cent.
The chemical composition has been
found satisfactory to experts In
Europe, and these deposits usually are
alongside deep water, thus facilitating
transport At Burnie. in Tasmania,
the deposit from water level up is es-
tlmated as 20,000,000 tons. In New
South Wales the deposits within sight
are 100000 tons. The deposits
known as the Jron Knob and Iron
Monarch in South Australia are stated
to contain 10000 900 tons.
The first great demand Of Australia
has been stated as the comprehensive
production Of iron and steel from her
own ores. These basic articles wilr
then be available at half their present
imported cost. just as Australia now
supplies herself with the purest Of all
salt. another basic article. at less than
half the price she formerly paid for
her importations.
