THE COAL TRADE Of

CONSUMPTION NOT LARcE-oPE.
RATloNS IN ALASKA WILL DE-
aPEND UPoN~HOW CHEAP THE
PouTPUT CAN BE PRODUCED
AND MARKETED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
The fuel requirements of the Pacific
coast and the methods OF meeting them
are of especial interest at the pres
ent time because of the agitation in
regard to the development or :; ia.
velopment of the coal resources oi
Alaska. The report on the productions
of coal in 1910, by L. w. Parker, goal
statlstician Of the United States Geo
logical Survey, now in preparation
will contain some interesting state
pents on this subject. 80
The present consumption Of coal on
the Pacific coast, says Mr.. Parker, is
not large and the successful operation
OF any coal mines in Alaska will de-
pend on naming prices attractive to
the development OF manufacturing in
dustries. For railroad and manufac-
turing purposes the consumption oil
oil, particularly in California, largely
exceeds that OF coal-in fact, for rail-
road use oil is practically the only
fuel. The principal domestic fuels
are wood and gas made from oil. Re-

ance as a domestic fuel. About 49,
100000 barrels, Of California, oil were
consumed by locomotives in 1903, as
against a little over 100000 barrels
for 1910. The total consumption of
fuel oil was probably between 49,
100000 and 40,OOO,000 barrels IN 1903
and between 40,O0O,0O0 and 50,000,000
barrels in 1910. The probability is
that the consumption of fuel oil dis
placed about 100000 tons OF coal
on the Pacific coast in 1899 aud be-
tween tt;e80,00O and 12,00O,0OO tons
in 1910. The per capita consumption
of coal in California, Oregon and
Washington Averages not much over
1 ton, while the average consumption
in the United States as a whole is
about 5A tons for each inhabitant.
The principal source of coal supply
for the Pacific coast is the State of
Washington, the output of both Cali
fornia and Oregon being at present
small. In 1909 the total production
Of coal in Washington was S,6O2,263
short tons. California produced $4,000
tons and Oregon S7,276 tons. In 1910
the production of coal on the Pacific
coast was 3.9O3,OS3 short tons in
Washington, 62,7O7 tons in Oregon, and
i11,164 tons in California. The imports
Of bituminous coal amounted 10 1872
DAG tons, and of anthracite to GIG
tons. The exports of coal from Seattle
we're 26,SS3 tons in 1909 and 23,771
tons in 1910. The total consumption
Of coal on the Pacific coast from vari-
our sources in 1909 was 4,57GO52 short

posts OF nitratet of soda and potash
salts. AS both OF these minerals are
readily soluble and are not to be
found as "outcrops' like ordinary
rocks, the mission of tho Survey Is
not an easy one. Nevertheless it Is
believed that the geologic conditions
prevailing throughout large portion
of the arid West favored the aGcumu-
lation, during earlier periods Of the
earth's history, OF both Of these salts
and that If these still exist in cpnccn-
trated deposits it is only aa question
of search to discover. them. Hardly
could be suggested which.
would be Of greater assistance TO the
American farmer than the discovery
of commercial deposits OF either OF
these necessary fcrtilizing minerals.
