MAKE DOLLARS FROM DUST
Very Little 10 Allowed to Remain Use
less In This Day Of Scientific
knowiedae.

Save the useless waste, That Is
the new policy OF progressive metal
and coal mining managers In the
United States; and 1t is based on the
theory that what is useless today may
become worth much money tomorrow.
Coal screenings. for instance must be
carefully saved in piles. which will be
handy for future use when inventors
perfect a practical way Of getting val
liable heat out OF them.
A Pennsylvania coal mining COM
pany Is applying the idea to the ex-
IRENE. From its anthracite coal mines
vast quantities OF coal have been
shipped to market. but millions OF tons
OF screenings have accumulated for
many years. These culml piles we're
considered to be worthless, and coal
ashes and other refuse were dumped
on them. At the present time. how
ever. the very small sizes OF anthra-
cite. down to a sixteenth OF an inch
in diameter. can all be sold proftably;
so the company is digging out the
culm piles and sitting the old waste
for salable coal.
The managers know II viii not be
long before even the fiue dust may do
good work under boilers and sell at a
fair figure: therefore the new cuim
piles resulting from the present sitting
operations have been carefully
planned to be handy and In good shape
for selling whenever the inventors sue
coed in making IT profitable.
