that he had discovered a coal bed Soon
a company was formed to mine and sell

not know how to make the hard coal
burn. Many believed 1t to be only rock.
so in some places 1t was not allowed to be
sold. Today this coal is In such demand
that those very coal beds are the most
valuable in the world. The soft coal is
the chief coal Of the people. because 1t Is

large heating plants In the United States
coal is found in thirty states. where there
are altogether about 5000 mines being
worked. Most Of them are in the section
east of the Mississippi, especially in the
Appalachian mountains. The richest btu
minous coal bed In the world is the noun

- FTEN we hear that the coal supply
Of the world is being exhausted.
but men who have made a study
OF our coal beds say that the United
States has coal enough yet in its mines to
last 5000 years. Very little Of the black
fuel IL imported or sent from our country.
although our nation mines about one
third Of the coal used In the world. OF
this amount Pennsylvania alone contrib
utes near 100000 tons a year. In the
northeastern part OF that state there Is
an anthracite or hard coal region which
sells its coal every year for more money
than IL gotten for all the gold mined in
the United States in one year.
This coal field was discovered by Nicho
Allan. a hunter who lived in the days
when George Washington was President
One night when Allan was camping in this
region he built a wood fire upon some
hard black rocks. Lying beside the fire. the

a poultry farm in connection with his

Of the information that comes from
his practical experiments in chicken
raising. His work will be not so much
the improvement of breeds, as the
securing Of the best results with pre-.

That is what the poultry raisers want
first; they haven't time to wait until
certain deal is bettered; they
must know how to deal with what

While the resumption of the Sun
and Moon mine offers great cause for
eonsratulation the thought is forced
upon US that the recent shut down
of the property was entirely unneees-
sary. There is nothing that hurts the
mining industry more than the know
ledge that an extremely valuable
property has been looted and mis-
managed until ersdit Is exhausted d
and the toiIers underground are left
to bear the burden Of incompetency
or raseaIity. This mine has a known
production Of over a million Of dol
lars. No mining man Of experience
examining the property has believed
for moment that its mineral wealth
Is exhausted, on the contrary, with
