that all OF the mineable coal now de-

the meantime new coal beds, which
are known, are developed, This state
ment is Mechanically correct.
so far as the quantity of coal is
concerned, Michigan could mine coal
Indefinitely at the present rate. Under
present conditions, however, coal beds
less than thirty inches thick cannot be
mined at profit, This condition for
the present eliminates an enormous
quantity-indeed greater part Of
Michigan coal-for the bulk of II, as
shown by actual drilling, is in beds
too thin to be mined under present
conditions. No one in the world has
