SUPPLY WILL BE EXHAUSTED AT
THE END OF THAT TIME,
SAY EXPERTS.
At the End of Another Century, 1t Will
Deserve the Name of Black
Diamond

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 1.-Peu-
pie who are worrying about the coal
bills they will have to pay in the COM
ing winter should cease their troubling
and turn their sympathies to those who
will have that problem to meet one
hundred years from now.
Those are the folks that will have the
real troubles for, according to the geo.
country will be mighty near gone just
about that time. Unless some just as
good" fuel is discovered in the mean
time coal will, indeed, deserve its title
of black diamond and all the present
jokes about locking the precious stuff in
the safe will come true.
To be exact, Henry Gannett of the
geological survey, estimates that the
easily accessible coal now in the ground
will be exhausted about the year 204J,
and all coal ten years later
OF course, there are some ifs an(
lands" connected with this prophecy
1t is supposed that there are 3,147, 043.-
600, 600 tons of coal still in the ground.
two thirds of which is easily obtain
able During the last century only
about one third 70 one per cent of the
supply has been taken out. Two years
ago. or in 1907, 100000 tons We're
mined. more than in any previous year.
But you can't tell what will be the
rate of production in succeeding years
It's bound to increase as the population
grows Then there's the exports. Even
now European countries are looking
more and more to the United States for
their coal supply, and, unless coal ex-
ports are prohibited by legislation, the
production in this country will increase
beyond the demands for home con-
sumption.
On the other hand powerful influence
es will come to bear upon coal produc-
ton, which favor lengthening the life
of the supply Improved methods in
the utilization of coal, increasing the
efficiency per unit, may act as a factor
in reducing coal consumption, and i'm
wise reduce the percentage of waste.
That waste amounts now to about one
ton of coal for every two tons mar
keted
Then the development of water
power will prolong the life of the coal
supply. 1t is estimated that 3O,0OO,00O
horsepower are going to waste in
our streams today, most of which can
and will be utilized. replacing coal If
all the latent water power in the coun-
| try were harnessed within the next 20
years Mr.. Gannett calculates that il
would probably prolong the life of the
coal supply by about 80 years. And
if economies in mining and handling
| coal can be introduced so as to save
all waste within the next 20 years, the
coal supply would last 20 years longer.
But, with these things taken into con-
. sideration, and under the most favor
| able conditions it will be seen that this
authority predicts that the last ton of
coal will have been exhausted by the
year 2140.
Pretty early in the next century,
| therefore, it may be expected that peo-
pie will be saving Jumps of coal just
| as they are now doing the original St.
Gaudens gold pieces or the Lincoln pen
