the best expert assistance. and asked Presi-

bituminous coal expert. He recommended
Dr. l. c. White Of Morgantown, w. Va.

years contract to- come to Brazil and
thoroughly investigate the coal basin, giving
him a commission of engineers to assist
him. The results OF DR.. Whites examina-

water to all Brazil, Argentina and Uru-
guay-black diamonds that have made Car
diff famous and mine of wealth for the
producers. There is. however. in one part
of Brazil vast natural deposits of bitumi-
nous coal that need only good management
to exploit them. The coal basin of Brazil
underlies parts of several states-Sao Pau
10, Parana, Santa Catherine and Rio
Grande do Sul-and no doubt it extends
deep under the Uruguay river into Argen-
tina At only two points has seismic &C
ton uplifted the coal and brought it to the
surface One of these points is Coazeira in
the center of the state of Rio Grande do
Sui, and the other is not far from the coast
and the southern boundary of the state
of Santa Catherine. the latter point being
more convenient of access and exploita-
ton. The whole basin is said to be over
six hundred miles long and sixty miles
wide. The coal has more sulphur and ash
than Cardiff coal, but with simple and
inexpensive process of washing and shak-
ing by the machinery employed with similar
low-grade Goals of Germany a great part
OF the sulphur and ash may be eimina ted.
1t can then be made up into briquettes, as
in Europe, and employed in all ways that
Cardiff coal can be used.
