coal"

Dear Editor: AS have not written
for long time thought I would write
on the subject coal.
Coal, coal oil and natural gas with
respect to one another might be called
cousins. It is thought that all were
made in much the same way. Men
lived for thousands of years upon the
earth before they learned that coal
was good to burn.
The first coal found in America was
near Ottawa, ILL.,, It was found by
Father Hennepin French explorer.
The first coal mines worked in the
United States were not far tram Rich.
mond, Virginia. This coal was dis
covered by boy who was fishing.
Coal is of different kinds, BituminOus
or soft coal can be broken without
trouble, and some kinds of it burn so
easily that lump can be lighted with
q match.
Anthracite coal is almost as hard as
stone, and is very difficult to break.
It was long time after soft coal was
used before people knew that anthra-
cite coal would burn. Still anthracite
coal now forms large part OF the fuel
Of the United States. There Is little
anthracite coal region in north eastern
Pennsylvania about Wilkesbarre and
Scranton, two hundred miles from
New York City and about one hundred
and twenty miles from Philadelphia.
Anthracite coal as 1t comes out OF the
mines contains great quantities of
stone, slate and dust. Coal is used in
factories, engines, and almost every
where,
We had several mines in the vicinity,
of Lucas, which took out from three
to four hundred tons of coal each day.
Pennsylvania ranks first among the
states in the production OF coal.
Yours truly

MORE ACTIVITY
 IN IRON TRADE Increased Interest Is Shown In
 All The Branches LARGE CONTRACTS AHEAD Much More General Inquiry Is Being Made For Pig Iron Than For Many Weeks and Heavy Sales
 Are Reported.

Cleveland, January Especial )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The past holiday season has developed increased interest in practically all the branches of the market. After the com- pletion of inventories many buyers have shown a disposition to renew placing or orders, and in fact in many cases have been more anxious to do so than the seii- CTS were to take the orders, especially Tor delivery after the second quarter of the present year.
 The selling of non-Bessemer ore by the Lake Superior interests has continued at a lively rate, although eastern furnace h. terests are still manifesting no interest in Lake Superior ores.
 Much more general inquiry is being made for pig iron than for number or weeks, and in the western territory sales of various grades, including very nttie steel-making iron, have amounted to 10000 to 50, 600 tons9 An Ohio pipe interest with a number of plants has bought about 2O0oO tons, of which 11,000 tons was re- ported last week. A New York state pipe interest has purchased 15.000 tons and the leading pipe interest has been sounding tho market in the central west for about 20,000 tons of various grades. Sales by a pipe interest of the Philadelphia district amounted to 5000 tons.
 In the Chicago district there is good in- quiry, especially for malleable. In tho south there is better tone to the mar ket, and sales of fair tonnage are being made. Warrant iron has not yet entirely ceased to be a cause of trouble There is a general scarcity in the south of the lower grades of pig iron, and in the north there is little change in quotations. all though at Buffalo prices are about 50 cents higher.
 Many buyers of finished materials are showing disposition to contract, and in some cases are offering to do so for con- siderably longer periods than are desired by the mills. Leading manufacturers of bolts and nuts have been sounding the market for steel bars. and the q 50 price seems to be firmly maintained in the central west, but there are reports of 1.45c still being quoted in territory far ther west.
 The prosperity of the sheet and tin plate business continues in view of the fact that stubborn strike has been in progress against the leading interest and the tremendous output of sheets and tin plate Is surprising. Shipments of tin plate last year were the heaviest in the history of the industry in this country. and the large production of the year found ready demand, some makers now being sold up to July |
