Dollars from Dust,

Save the useless waste! That Is the
new policy Of progressive metal and coal
mining mana gers in the United States;
and it is based on the theory that what
is useless today may become worth
much money tomorrow Coal screen
ings, for instance, must be carefully
saved in piles, which will be handy for
future use when inventors perfect a
practical way Of getting valuable heat
out Of them.
A Pennsylvania coal mining company
is applying the idea to the extreme.
quantities of coal have been shipped to
market. but millions oy tons Of screen
ings have accumulated for many years.
These culm piles were considered to be
worthless. and coal ashes and other ref
use were dumped on them. At the pres
ent time, however. the very small sizes
OF anthracite, down to q sixteenth Of an
inch in diameter. can all be sold profita-
bly,; so the company is digging out the
culm piles and sitting the old waste for
salabie coal.
The managers know 1t will not be long
before even the fne dust may, do GOOD
work under boilers and sell at q fair
figure: therefore the new culm piles re.
sulting from the present sitting opera
tions have been carefully planned to be
handy and In good shape for selling

ing 1t profitable.

ON A MINED
RUSSIAN SHIP
Steamer Mercury Was Carrying 800 Pas

Prevented Rescue.

Petrograd, via London, June 24.-Th'
loss of life on the steamer Mercury
which was sunk by mine in the Black
sea, undoubtedly has been large, from
late reports received in regard to the dis
aster.
The Mercury was travelling from Odes.
sa to kherson, with 800 passengers, in.
Guiding a large number of college stu
dents, who were bound for their homes
for the summer vacation. The vessel
struck mine l3 miles from Odessa and
two miles off shore, in a rough sea. The
bow was blown off and the ship sank in
five minutes. Only two lfeboats were
launched, and both, laden with passen
gers, were overturned
Thirteen boats which were sent to the
rescue were unable to approach the
scene, owing to the heavy sea, but sue
ceeded in rescuing passengers who were
strong swimmers or who foated to them
on fragments of wreckage.
Twenty eight bodies have been washed
ashore.
The disaster was witnessed by the cap
tain of Russian steamer, who, however,
did not attempt to go to the rescue be-
cause he believed the ship had been tor
pedoed and that his own vessel would
suffer the same fate.
