TIMBER PRESERVATION
IN THE ANTHRACITE
REGION.

Plants for treating mine tlmbers
and railroad ties are to be erected
by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company and the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad company in the. Pennsyl-
vania anthracite region.
This action follows series of
tests with wood preseryatives made
by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company which has
extended over three years. The
tests showed that by the proper APP
plication of creosote and zinc ohlor-
Id, the life of peeled, seasoned
timber was more than doubled In
deed, much of the timber treated
may last throughout the life OF the
mine.
As result of these tests. which
were made with the Forest Service
the Companies are about to treat
round and square mine timbers and
railroad ties on a large scale. The
Forest Service is supervising the
construction of the necessary plants
and will place them on satisfact-
ory working basis.
The Npreservative treatment OF min
ing timbers has become an important
matter for anthracite miners because
of the growing local scarcity of the
| supply of suitable timbers. The
! chestnut and oak near at hand have
! been practically exhausted, and the
Pennsylvania pitch pine can be
used only in small quantities. Birch
beech, and maple from New York,
and loblolly and shortleaf pines from
Virginia and South Carolina are now
being drawn into use At the same
time economy OF consumption Is be-
ing sought through using preserva-
tives to reduce the decay of timbers
in the mines, and cutting over waste
to save utilize sound portions.
| The transportation of timber from
remote forests means high freight
charges, a great loss of time, and
an uncertain supply. Delay in tim
Der shipment has frequently forced
the suspension of operations requir.
ing timbers of peculiar size. Closer
utilization and particularly adding
to the life of the timber in service by
imeans of chemical treatment afford
the best ways of solving the prob

With view to widening the felc
