There is workable Ignite in beds
over three feet thick, and within l.
900 feet of the surface underlying ev.
cry section of land in the western
part of the state. More than 100 es.
tablished mines are now producing
Ignite coal, at rate of 100000 tons
per annum. In addition, there are
hundreds of farmers who have their
private fuel supply within the bound
aries of their own land, and who mine
the coal for the benefit of themselves
and their neighbors, the latter hauling
it away for $1.00 per ton.
Prof. E. J. Babcock, dean of the
college of mining engineering of the
University of North Dakota, and rec
ognized as the greatest living author
lty on Ignite, in an article on the
| coal resources of North Dakota, says:
North Dakota has good reason to
be proud of the psition which she
occupies in the agricultural and
stock raising industries. Indeed, the
great prominence and wonderful de-
velopment enjoyed by this state in
these industries have caused most
people to overlook the possibilities
which exist in the development of
other natural resources and indus
tries.
While North Dakota may never
appear as a metal producing or
great mining state, yet it certainly
possesses some mineral resources.
especially its great coal and clay de-
posts, which are sure to become
more extensively used and to prove
of great economic value.
The discovery, investigation and
proper methods for development and
utilization. of these resources require
time, patience, and hard work and
technical skill, but these efforts
are gradually leading to the wider
utilization of these undeveloped re-
sources and to the establishing Of az.
ISOLATED industries.
Something is known of the vast
deposits of Ignite coal which are
round within the state of North Da.
kota, but it is surprising how little
the immense value OF these deposits
is appreciated. There is very large
area in the western part of this state
which is underlaid with thick de.
posts of Ignite coal. North Dakota
has enough coal, if properly used, to
supply her fuel needs for ages.
North Dakota has one Of the larg:
est coal areas of the states Of the
Union, estimated at $4,000 square
miles, capable Of producing probably
soc, 900, 100000 tons.
1t is evident from the investiga.
tons which have been carried on at
the School Of Mines that the heat
value or calorific power Of the av-
erage Ignite Of North Dakota, when
entirely dry, is about IS per cent Of
that Of the Hooking Valley coal, and
