THE SCRANTON TRIBUNB-THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1890. 8 Debilitated Worm-out Mr. C. B. Clinc, Business Manager, " Koster & Blals," N. Y., i writes: 'As a tonic and strengthener for those who are debili tated and worn-out, the effects of your Johann Hoff's Malt Ex tract are simply wonderful. I was suffering from dyspepsia and nervous prostration for some months before I began to take the Johmus H&fF as directed, and now I feel physically like a new man, You may rest assured that I cannot praise It too highly." Johann Hoff: New York, ENGLISH COAL MININGjMBLEMS SET FORTH BY A PAPER READ BY POSTER BROWN. Cost of Mining Coal Is Constantly Increasing Because the Upper rind Best Veins Are About Ex hausted The Deeper the Operators Go the More Expensive Mining Becomes and the Thinner and Poorer tho Veins Are Competi tion the English Operator Fears. Foster Drown read a paper before ti recent mooting of the British associa tion, on the economic features of tho coal questions, which 13 of special In terest at this time, In view of the re port made by Henry S. Fleming, sec retary of the Anthracite Coal Opera tors' association, on the possibility of selling anthracite coal in Europe. The paper. In part, Is: "It was dllllcult to Induce the public of Great Britain to realize the supreme Importance of the fact that it was only the best nnd cheapest of our coal re sources -which supplied an existing out put. Allowing for a small gradual In crease of output from deep nnd In ferior seams during the next fifty to sixty years, and assuming an nverag'j output for fifty years of best coals within a depth of 2,000 feet at 220,000, 000 tons per nnnum, and exclusive of thin and inferior seams, wo should have exhausted eleven-fifteenths of our best resources nbout the year 1930, and arrived at a stage when our whole annual output would be composed of a rapidly decreasing proportion of deep, thin or Inferior coals, nnd a pro portion of our cheapest worked coals would rapidly decrease. It would be apparent, however, that at the end of fifty ycais they would still have coal resources remaining workable, it was true at a gradually-increasing cost, but sufficient for the supply of the nation at an average output of 250,000. Ouo tons a year for upwards of a period of 230 years. INCREASED COST. "But in working this very largo resi duum a greater cost In working, due to natural causes, was Inevitable, and that this extra cost would gradually Increase year by year after the best and cheapest coals were exhaust ed was undoubted, however success fully the skill of the mining and me chanical engineer might be brought to bear In mitigating this effect; nnd un less additional measures could be adopted outside the province of the engineer to counteract It, by cheapen ing the carriage of the coal on the surface and reducing materially all other charges, the effect of this In creasing cost would be of serious mo ment to the nation. "The general cost of our coal would, of course, Increase In proportion to til" percentage of thin and deep coal work ed to the annual output, until the in creased cost of the whole of our coal production duo to natural causes, such as depth, thinness of seams, etc. however much this might be neutral ized by Improved mechanical and min ing appliances would be so increased as to seriously nnd permanently ham per our progress commercially by in creasing the cost of navigating steam ers and lessening thereby the amount of our coal Imports of raw materials nnd food supplies, and generally gradu ally taking from us for the benefit of other nations our home and foreign trade. It would, therefore, be con venient to consider in what direction it might ho practicable to Improve tho existing appliances for working coal nnd otherwise reduce the cost of work ing deep and thin seams of coal in the future. The reader then enforced the necessity for economical improvement in coal-cutting machinery and lin piovements In underground haulage. "To summarize, however, the posi tion of the cost of working whilst con- How Old Arc You? A woman is mighty sensitive about lie nge. Some have been known to fly into a uassion on the witness stand when an iuquisitive lawyer nsVs, "How old are you?" The actual number of years don't count for much in a healthy, vigorous woman. If she be forty, she will look younger than a weak wotnati at as. Dr. Pierce's l'avorlte rrescrintion keeps women looking young by keeping disease away from those inarvclously deli cate organs which distinguish the female sex.

It fits the wife for the task of child-bearing, making the period of gestation one of comfort, shortening labor and making it almost painless.

"is WT m Malt Extract Berlin, Vienna, Paris. sldcrnblo economy had been achieved In Home directions, natural physical and other features had Increased tho cost of working coal in Oreat Drltaln. Similar conditions would probably more or less apply to the German coal field and elsewhere In Europe the cost of production In these countries would have a tendency also to Increase slow ly. In the ense of Germany, our main European competitor, the railway and canal rates for minerals were much below per ton per mile the rates pre vailing in this country, nnd therefore there was not the margin for future re ductlons In these rates which ought to exist In Great Drltaln, where tho rail ways are not as yet tho property of tho slate. Tho coal fields of the United States were twenty times the original areas of tho Dritlsh, and already the cost of producing coal In America was below the cost of raising coal In Great Drltaln. "Tho nnnunl production In the states was proceeding In leaps and bounds. In 1S83 It was 102,SCS,000 tons, in 1890 It was 1I0,SS3,000 tons, and In 1S96 it was 11,41C,000 tons. Leonard Courtney contended that less American costs would be permanently operative, and tho difference in favor of America wus likely to Increase. Probably this was so in some degree, but the immediate cause of the discrepancy In favor of the States as against Great Drltaln was duo chiefly to the enormous extent of the American coal fields, making it practicable to work very large annual quantities from those nreas near the outcrop by free drainage levels, with out pumping or winding. In fact the States, as regarded their facilities for raising coal cheaply, were much In the position Great Drltaln was fifty or sixty years ago. OUTPUT IX THE STATES. "If the coal output of the United States continued to Increase In the present ratio, the time would arrive, no doubt, when shafts must be sunk to considerable depths, and pumping and winding resorted to. thereby In creasing the average cost and bring ing the natural conditions In that coun try more In line with those which pre vailed in this country. The enormous extent of outcrop in the American fields would, however, enable that na tion to maintain probably for many centuries a comparatively low cost of working. "Dy tho cheaper capital cost of the American rnllays and better applica tion of tho lolling stock for mineral tratllc, such as wagons carrying a very much larger proportion of profit load to dead weight and long leads, United States railways were able to convey coal at about one-quarter the cost per ton per mile for which the best and most economically worked of the Eng lish railways now undertook to con vey minerals in this country. It as true that, in regard to the item of dead weight, railways could also In tills country considerably reduce their cost by Increasing tho size of the min eral wagon. "There existed other, nnd possibly more serious, competitors even than America, which might ultimately shut out the whole of the Eastern markets for manufactures he meant China and Formosa. In China enormous coal fields were, believed to exist, contain ing coals of the best qualities, and only requiring capital, development in railways, and docks and manufactures to enable it to become the greatest of their future competitors and to develop and extraordinary source of wealth. FORMOSA COAL, FIELDS. "The extremely low eust of labor would alone probably handicap the AVestern nations to an extent which at present could not be measured, and whether the period when this competi tion would be seriously felt was distant or imminent, the fact Itself of these coal fields existing in a country densely populated by a clever and in dustrious race should enforce the les son to Great Drltaln of setting her house in order. Tho argument might be even stronger as regards tho coal Holds of Formosa under Japanese rule, of which less was known, but where piobably coal could be found near sea boards, and In a parallel position as regarded facilities for export, to our on coal deposits. "Summarizing the position, some portion of the Increased future cost of working our coal fields could and would be met by Improved mechanical appliances in winding, haullng.pump lng and In cutting thin seams, and by mining skill In Improved ventilation, lighting, checking the Increase of tem perature due to depth, raising larger quantities from each shaft, and a par tial teadjustmont of the cost of labor and royalties. The last named were already In process of being dealt with when tho conditions required It, but there would still remain a growing margin of Increased cost which could not be dealt with either by the me chanical or mining engineer."
