MAKES NEW FUEL FOR WEST
Government believes 1t Has Way Of
BriQuetting Ignite.

Washington. July The bureau Of
mines. through its experiments a tho

western .art Of the country that will be
OF immense value Il has succeeded IN
making briquets without the use of a
7indins material out of Ignite from
California. Texas and North Dakota
The difficulty heretofore with the manu-
facture OF brquets has been the cost Of
the pitch which is considered necessary
to hold the coal dust together.
Ignite is n poor form Of coal, brown
in color, and IS found in great abundance
in several western States. notably North
and South Dakota. Montana and Texas.
Its use has been greatly restricted he
cause Of its tendency - slack or turn
t. dust shortly after it is mined and
brought to the surface Because of the
great amount of moisture it contained
between so and ~ per cent, the Ignite
has been difficult to burn under boilers
or in stoves There Is said t. be $4,000
square miles of territory underlain by
Ignite and million, Of acres belong to
the government. The bureau of mines,
sometime ago, conducted series OF
experiments at the pumping plant of the
reclamation service at Millston, North
Dakota. and succeeded in developing n
furnace that would burn the Ignite
satisfactorily. But this did not solve the
problem Of tie transportation Of the
Ignite The bureau therefore sent 20

far enough to indicate that Ignite can lie
satisfactorily briguetted at cost that
makes the manufacture Of briquets conf
merciaIly possible.
