The johnson Fuel Company of
Fairfax has been experimenting on
the by-products obtained from lig-
mite coal and their expert chemists
report that the ashes from llgnite
coal briquettes contain approx
mately 5 per cent of potash. The
commercial value of potash is from
5000 to $500 per ton. The ash
residue, after the potash has been
extracted, has great value as a
filler for paint and soap.
In extracting the moisture from
the Ignite coal in the process of
manufacturing the briquettes there
is a percentage of gas liberated
with the moisture This gas may
be condensed into gasoline by a
special process
The company's chemists also re-
port that there are other by-pro-
ducts to be obtained from the lig-
mite coal from the mines of the
