Peat Beds are Valuable.

much interested in a recent dispatch
from Washington, d. c. in which the
government estimates OF the value
o,f the peat beds IN northern Indiana
is placed at $4,000, 100000.
Il am not prepared TO say" said
MIR Blatchley, that the estimate Is
too high or too low, but | do know
that the state has an almost unbe-
iievable wealth in its peat beds. and
that the industrial world is just
awakening to the great advantage
offered by the peat fields Two years
ago | issued report setting forth
the vsfue of these beds The reports
circulated slowly at first, but now
there is brisk demand for them, and
the demand rs growing. send out
en- average OF copy a day.
In preparation flor my report
tested the fuel value of the peat, ano
found it to be rs per cent OF the fuel
value OF an equal weight of coal
Thousands III acres OF the land in the
north part of the state can be util-
lied for peat mines. Thus far the
great body of natural wealth has not
been touched. I'm my opinion poo
PIE of the north part of the state
win ultimately derive great fortunes
from the swamp land which has
heretofore been commonly supposed
to be almost valueless."
