Iron mines upon earth are those about
Lake Superior. They are supplying
the most of the steel for the war, and
FOR years they have been the chief
foundation of American industry.
They produce millions of tons of ore
every month. and the deposits seem
TO be almost inexhaustible. Neverthe-
less they are being most carefully
mined. Every little pocket and mug
get OF ore is taken out of the beds.
ana the ore which is of a grade too
low. to ship is piled up outside the
mines in order that it may be saved
Tor the future. 1t used to be that
or waste heap. That DAY has gone
by. and the dumps are being worked
over for the minerals left in them.
This is SO not only of gold, silver and
copper, but also Of iron and coal. The
losses in coal mining are, beyond con-
ceptlon, enormous. and the same is
true of the coal after it gets to the
homes and the factories. 1 have writ
ten OF the billions of dollars that an
nuaily go up in coal smoke; of how
we are saving fortunes by the use Of
by-product coke ovens, and have sug-
gested municipal heating plants by
which our domestic coal bills could
coal now cooked in the old baking
ovens were cooked in by product ovens
the carbon saved would equal over
100000 horsepower.
The loss Of the coal in the mines
is estimated by the experts of the
geological survey as being one third
or one-half as much as the amount
taken out. Charles l.. Parsons, one
of the experts Of the bureau of mines,
figures that one-third of the bitumi-
nous coal Is lost in the mines, and
that fully one-half of the anthracite

value Is enough to build a structure
as large and fine as our Library of
congress every week. and to recon-
struct tho Panama canal in less than
q year and half. The worst Of it Is
that this is dead loss A bad wheat
crop can be replaced the year follow
ing. but 1t takes thousands of years
to grow one crop of coal and the
geological seeds Of the crop cannot
be planted by man.
Nevertheless, we are saving more
and more every year from the scrap
heap of coal. We are getting a greater
fuel value out of that we burn in the
furnaces. and are saving vastly by
using the coal dust and recovering
the waste that formerly went out
with tho smoke. There are now a
half dozen coal companies which
make equipment for burning pulver-
lied coal in suspension and in 1915
there was burned in the United States
about 100000 tons of such coal
Much of this was used in the Port
land cement industry, where the
powdered fuel is employed in burning
the cement in rotary kilns; and a
large part in the reduction works Of
the copper mines of the west. Pow
dored coal is now used in open hearth
pudding furnaces. By means of the
new equipment the cheap Ignite COAL
when pulverized, can be efficiently
burned and our vast low grade de-
posts thus can be brought to the
use of the nation.

is not taken out. Another expert
figures that fully 1000, 100000 tons of
anthracite and 3,000.00O.0O0 of btu
minous coal have been left in the
ground. and that large part of this
comes from the fact that the mining
has been carelessly done. That
amount of coal. at our present con-
sumption. would last for eight years
or more: and IL 1t could be put in the
market at the present prices it's actual
value would be more than the amount
we have already spent on the war
Much of this loss comes from pillars
which have been left to support the
roofs Of the mines and much from coal
left In thin beds because other mines
or parts of the mine could be more
probably worked.
At the present time something like
SO.O00.0O0 tons of anthracite is being
left behind In the mines every year.
and that In such a way that 1t cannot
be recovered. The annual loss of
bituminous coal Is probably greater.

equal to something like $1,000, 900 for

It used to be that gold ore had to

the gas wells with mud so that we
are able to hold back the gas and

the cracking processes by which we
get 200 per cent more gasoline out of

bureau of mines estimates that Ok

Other great changes are taking
