Scranton's Importance

Scranton will be the principal town
between Aberdeen, South Dakota, and
Miles City, Montana" said one of the
officers of the Milwaukee railway, as it
will be a power station for the railroad
when they electrify 1873 miles of our
mountain lines in the heal future, and
the next jump will probably be from the
Big Missouri river to Miles City, and the
fuel to generate this power will be mined
at Scranton where the largest veins of
| coal in the northwest are found"
"The wonderful successful utilization
of the Ignite with the gas producer and
gas engine, owing to its great economy,
in my opinion, will revolutionize power
development in this territory. The off,
GERS of the Fuel Testing Plant of the
United States Geological Survey con-
Quoted tests along those lines, the results
of which were astonishing. The follow
ing figures taken on the advance sheet
of the report shows what was found"
"With the best operation of steam en-
gines, it requires $50 pounds of dry
coal to produce one electrical horsepow-
er, Will: by the use of the gas producer
and gas engine operated with Scranton
Ignite. figured on the basis of dry coal,
ITO pounds were required, and 2.oI
pounds ofthe dry coal as fired. Analysed,
this means eastern coal at $500 per ton,
as this coal will naturally cost that in
this territory, n horsepower developed
through a steam engine would cost IL
cent, and by the use of Scranton Ignite
at $500 per ton, the same power would
cost ITO of 1 cent"
with a plant developing 1000 h. p.
per hour, this would mean a saving of
about $4,000 per day, and when we take
into consideration that a power plant of
this kind would probably develop 10000
h. p, the immense saving is apparent.
The tests conducted by our company
verify these figures"
1.-THE mines at Scranton will probably
work 1000 men in the near future, and
this alone should make it one of the i'm
portant cities in this part Of the country.
l will.accompany the special train which
leaves Aberdeen on the 25th, and be
present at Scranton when the lots are
sold on the 10th. l expect to make
some investments in property there. A
railroad man is not supposed to talk too
much and l presume | have already said
more than I should" F.
