COAL IS ABUNDANT
esoqoIist Claims Deposits in
Iowa Will Last $500 Years
so PERCENT LEFT IN MINES
Survey Shows There Are $1,000 Square
Miles Within Which There Are
Coal Dsposits-Minino In
Iowa Was Begun In 1910.

Dss Moines.-It is estimated that
there are more than zoe ,000, 000, 0OQ
tons Of unmined coal within the Dor
ders of Iowa.
J. H. Lees, assistant state geologist
says that this amount OF coal, accord
Ing to the present rate of consump'
ton, will last for $500 years, or until
the year AIT.
The Iowan who has been worrying
about the exhaustion of coal can take
heart, for the assistant state geologist
says that this amount may ever be
increased. Iowa coal is also said to
be of a good grade. 1t constitutes
ever one-hah of the amount burned
in the state.
"The estimate of the amount of coal
in Iowa does not necessarily mean
that this amount will be available"
said Mr.. Lees. According to esti-
mates it is found that about so per
cent Of the amount mined is left in
the mines.
This is brought about through the
method of mining coal. In practically
all coal fields there are several veins
Of coal and the mine usually seeks
tho veins which are the most product
i've. As high as fifty veins have been
located in one field"
Mr.. Lees explained that under the
present system Of mining the upper
veins are made useless if lower vein
is mined first. He said that the sup
ports of the mine are drawn as the
coal Is taken out.
According to . survey Of Iowa there
is total of 10000 square miles with
In which there are coal deposits. Mr..
Lees said that it was positively known
that there were no coal deposits out
side of this area Within this area, he
said, the amount Of coal may be much
more than now is known.
Up to the present time 100000 900
tons Of coal have been mined in Iowa,
representing about ! per cent of the
amount estimated to have been with
in the borders Of the state.
Mining in Iowa has covered period
Of seventy-five years, mining having
begun in 1910. There has been a grad
ual increase in the amount mined each
year in the state. However, the
amount mined in 1916 was slightly
lower than the amount mined in 1915.
