1t may be comforting 10 those who fear
the supply OF coal in West Virginia is
being rapidly exhausted TO know that
the United States Geological Survey eS-
Inmates that there was enough coal still
in the ground at the close OF the year 1911
to last six thousand years at the rate Of
production for that year. To state the
matter in different manner it is estimated
by the Geological Survey that atthe close
of the year 1911 there had been used less
than e-tenths of one per cent Of the
total supply of coal known to exist, and
that there was remaining in the earth,
available for use in future years, 90 per
cent of the original supply OF coal.
