pi000CU tire same ictiiuS IN speaking
about the Hi Henry mines. They are
all of the opinion that Boise should
protect its consumers by taking the
matter of control of the mines up
with Hi Henry.
The Henry coal at depth is pure
cannell coal. the ideal of all Goals for
heat and for steam engine and gas
making.
The description of this coal by Wal
demar Lindgren in the T. s. survey
is as follows: "The coal is black, COM
pact. of shining luster and conchoid-
al fracture"
Mr.. Lindgren's analysis was Of
course from coal near the surface,
which had been exposed to the exy-
gen for thousands of centuries, yet
he gives ash only 4.S4 and fixed car
bon So. If a coal could show sucn
properties after such exposure, what
must it do at coal mining depth?
An analysis a little deeper by the
Boise Chemical institute gives ash

cided increase in carbon with depth.
