TO DEVELOP so. DAKOTA COAL

Everybody in So. Dakota ought
to be taking lively interest in the
question of obtaining market
for the immense deposits of Ignite
coal in the northwest corner of the
state, and that interest needs to be
directed towards the legislature
body which should be having a
hand in the development of the
State. The Immigration Bureau
and Highway Commission we now
have are only ornamental institu-
tions, directed mainly toward as
sisting local land agents and spec
ulators. What we want to see is
some legislation to advance the in
dustrial development of the State.
This would create home market.
without which the farmer only has
half chance.
Our present Immigration and
Highway departments, too, are at
present only tournaments" because
their hands are practically tied for
the lack uf funds with which to ac-
complish anything for the direct
benefit of the majority of our cit
liens.
The manufacture of briquettes
out of Ignite coal is the purpose

concern that could utilize raw ma
terial in South Dakota for the
benefit of its people than to be
president of the United States"
Emil Fernholz. president of the
FernhoIz Machinery company of
Los Angeles. Cal. manufacturers
of clay and briquettlne machinery,
has accompanied Mr. johnson and
other members of the party in
their Investigations of the fields
and the exclusive RIGHT of his bri-
quetting machinery has been secur-
ed by Mr.. johnson for North and
South Dakota.
Products of the Ignite beds of
this state have been shipt to the
Los Angeles plant for briquetting
and will be on exhibition i'm the
city soon. In speaking of the
manner of putting tie Ignite i'm
shape for commercial use, MIR.
Fernholz said:
1.-The averageNoal contains from
80 to 45 per cent water. In order
to brlquer we take out the water
and apply pressure of l0O,O 900 lbs
per square inch. 1t takes about l5
per cent OF the ordinary coal to
burn out the water and in ton of
ordinary coal then one gets but
about 90 per cent of efficiency.
elm briquetting Ignite the coal
as it comes from the mine is first
crushed i'm a coarse crusher and
then run into a pulverizer where it
is ground into fine material. 1t is
then elevated and dumped on
screen, the coarser parts automati-
cally dropping back into the pull
verizer and the fine Goals fall into
big steel bin of 10 tons capacity.
From this bin it goes into big
dryer wheel with surface of 2,64O
square feet, and in the revolution
of this wheel, fed by exhaust from
the engine, large amount of
moisture is taken out. From the
dryer wheel the coal leads into a
conveyer, thence into a big hopper
which AUTOMATICALLY feeds into the
press and tllenles tito the cars.
"There is no stop in the process
of manufacture from the time the
coal is taken from the mine until
it is loaded in the car in the form
of the commercial hriquet-a bri-
quet containing no binder and alb
solntely no foreign material of any
kind. burning with blue flame and
producing no smoke, odor or SCOT.
In short, the briquetting of coal
does in a fraction of second what
it takes nature hundreds of thou
sands OF years to do.
''Each briquet weighs one pound.
One press will make from 100 to
l2O per minute, or - tons per "a
hours, and the product will with
stand the action of water and
atmosphere and is equal to the
best bituminous coal"

The Sioux Falls Press of June
20 gives the following account of
the proposed enterprise of the
above named company:
utilization of the vast Ignite
fields of South and North Dakota
to the great advantage of the peo-
pie of the two states presents itself
as commercial possibility soon to
be realized in the light of state
ments made by party of men who
arrived in the city yesterday and
who are interested in the matter of
briquetting the product and fur
nishing fuel at a price that will
make winter luxury and solve
many of the manufacturing prob
lens that have troubled enterpris-
ing business organizers of the
state.

many millions of dollars a wear.
besides leaving in the state the
money which it cost to produce
it, said Mr. johnson to a reporter
for The Press when he interview
ed the members of the party i'm
their apartments at the Carpenter
hotel last evening. Mr.. johnson
is we'll known over the state from
his connection with line of banks
in the Rosebud country, his aggres-
sive promotion Of alfalfa, and his
general development work in that
section.
{" Within the last week we have
looked over portion of the big
fields of Ignite in South and North
Dakota and find the deposit un-
limited said Mr.. johnson. cit
is not question of acres, but of
miles of coal deposits. We exam
ined mines that are in operation
where the veins are from Il to 90
feet in depth Of solid coal. The
coal on 1000 acres of land that we
estimated showed upwards of 40, :
OOO,0 900 of tons in that locality.
''Plans are being made for the
organization of the johnson Fuel
company. We have secured a
body of coal that contains 12, ,OOO,-
900 tons that will cost an average
of one cent per ton. unmined.
This year we expect to build six
unit plant on some of our South
Dakota holdings which will put out
420 tons of briquetts per day, and
we now control enough Ignite to
supply the state for 40 years.
There is a possibility of the
headquarters of this concern being
located in Sioux Falls. / am con-
fdent that it can be put through

it can for I'll put it through my
self if it is necessary. These coal
fields belong to Dakotans and they
should have the benefit. There
will be no water in the stock: there
will be no money paid for promot-
ers, and there will be no commits

Beauty In the Mexican's Voice.

Next to the love of dress. was most
struck with the fineness of the voice
and the beauty of intonations of both
sexes (of the Mexicans). 1t is a pleas
ure simply to listen to the sound Of the
language before l could attach any
meaning to it. They have a good deal
Of the creole drawl, but it is varied,
with an occasional extreme rapidity Of
utterance, in which they seem to skip
from consonant to consonant until,
lighting upon broad open vowel, they
rest upon that to restore the balance
of sound. A common bullock driver
delivering a message seemed to speak
like an ambassador at an audience. In
fact, they sometimes appeared to me
to be a people on whom a curse had
fallen and stripped them Of every
thing but their pride, their manner and
their voices.-''Three Years Before the

Conversina With "Ghosts."

Some scientists of real eminence
have accepted the postulate of the in
dividuality and self consciousness of
the SOU after the death of the body
and have attempted to demonstrate
their belief by asserting communica-
ton with these disembodied spirits
Sir William Crookes, a profound delv-
er in chemistry pertaining to radio-ac-
uvity, asserted years ago that he had
communication with souls of dead
friends. but for several years he has
been silent anent this matter. Camille
Flammarion, a rather speculative and
sensational astronomer, declares that
he has seen and conversed with the
ghosts" of dead friends. Professor
William James, brother Of Henry
James, the novelist, promised before
he died that If possible he would COM
municate with his friend Professor
Hyslop, both eminent psychologists,
but at last accounts the soul Of Profes-
SCR James had not spoken.-Exchange
