ANTHRACITE SUPPLY
AND DISTRIBUTION.
INTERESTING PAPERS ON THE
GREAT COAL FIELD.
NECESSITY FOR THIS FUEL.
The Coqt of Opening mid Developing
Mines unit Putting the Product Upon

ent Content of lli ili.
HE DEMAND for an
thracite) has been sub
ject to very considable
fluctuations, the trade
depending upon tho
gonoral prosperity of
tho country as ad
other industries must
do; but its growth has
on the whole been ro
markably steady, for
it has been promoted by three groat causes
whose combined action has been unceasing
ly increasing tho nocessity for this fuel
Thoso aro (1) theincreaso in population, (2)
tho decreaao of tho wood supply, and (3)
the decrease in freight rates. Of course,
these cause) affect tho trade in bituminous
coal as well, and the comparative cheap
ness of that coal causes its production to
grow more rapidly than the production of
anthracite; but the lattor is so much the
better domestic fuel, and so much to be pro
ferrod for all uses whore the smoke and dirt
that aro caused by the burning of bitumin
ous coal aro objectionable, thai tho growth
of tho anthracilo trado is likely to bo serf
ously checked only when its increasing
cost makes it too much an article of luxury
to be generally used. The increase of cost
will come (1) from tbe greater amount of
capital required to open mines as they pen
otrate the earth more deeply, (2) from the
greator cost of keeping them open while
the coal is being mined, and (3) from the
greater amount of refuse to be hoisted and
tho greator amount of water to bo pumped
as the mining reaches greater depths.
It is estimated in tho older part of tho
anthracite region that it takes an expen
diture of about two dollars to open a mine
for ovory ton of annual production, so that,
to bring to the solf-sustaining point a col
liery capable of producing 100,000 tons per
annum, an outlay of $200,000 must bo
mado. This is a moderate estimate, and
sbowB how greatly tho element of the cost
of mining has Increased of late years when
it is compared with tho case of a colliery
which was opened in the Shenandoah, dis
trict of tho Schuylkill region thirty years
ago. At this colliery the coal that was cut
and shippod during the opening of the
mine paid (or its production, so that the
development of the colliery coat nothing at
all. It is truo that this occurred during
the war, when coal sold at excessively
high prices, and it must be admitted that
this instance Is an exceptional one. As the
workings became deeper, tbe mass of the
rock strata that must be supported after
the withdrawal of the coal becomes
greater, and, to keep open the permanent
passages in the mines, heavier and heavier
.imber is required. And this timber,
which used to grow in tho neighborhood of
ilie mines and was hauled on wagons, now
mutt be brougb( an average distance of pno
hundred miles by rail, and this distance Is
constantly increasing as the forests disap
pear. The deeper working tends to greater
breaking of tho rock strata and the further
cracking of the ground nbove, to that It
becomes mora and more difficult to keep
the surface wator from going down into tho
mines. These causes have already pro
duced a most serious increase of expense, it
being nw necessary at some collieries tp
boist to tho surfaco and haul away to a eafo
distance from tbe pit mouth two tons of
refuse and to pump ton tons of water for
every ton of coal that Is shipped to market.
As this material has to bo holstod in some
pases a thousand foot vertically, it will be
soon how great an expenditure of power is
required, and it will, not seem surprising
that at such mines ono ton of coal is burned
for ovory ten tons that aro marketed.
The cost of coal must, therefore, inert aso
stoadily, though not for tho prosont rapidly,
and its first effect will bo in the gradual
substitution of coke in many manufactur
ing processes requiring a cleaner fuel than
bituminous coal. Lator it will load to the
utilization of such particles of anthracite
as aro too small to burn without epocial ap
pliancos and that must be comentod to
gether into pieces, of more available size;
but the ultimate effect must bo to rottrict
the uso of anthracite to domostic consump
tion within a limited though largo area,
whoso boundaries will bo govornod largely
by tho rates of freight that may bo charged
by the transportation companies, For tbe
last twenty years tho demand for anthra
cite has annually Increased at the rate of a
llttlo over four per cent, per annum. It
now requires 40,000,000 tons each year; bui
what its ratio of growth in tbe future, what
tho maximum production, and what the
duration of tho supply will be aroqueMU ns
about whioh all estimates must be tho
rudest Bpproxlmition.,.ft the faotors that
will entor into tbo computation in tbe
(tint rn now lari-itiv unknown.
The oslimato of tho original contents of
the anthracite fields, which has been beioru
qiiotcd, places tho amount at 14.453,400 000
tin!. From this amount must be sub
stractod, lu net-that now remaining avail
able, tho quantity mined up to December
91, 1891, which the best authorities estimate
at 811,019,239 tons. It is not prjbable that
mora than one-quarter of thu coal that was
originally contained in the whole area
which has been worked over to this date
has been sent to market; but, ns some of
tho coal that was left in tho mines is still
available for use at somo futuro day when
tho prico shall have risen so high as to
permit tho abandoned beds to be reworked,
wo may assume that tho product to this
dato represents three times as much of
original content, or, say, 2,632,000 000
tons. This would leavo about 11,921,400,000
tons to bo worked, or about eighty-two and
one-half per cent of tho original content.
How many of this can bo won depends
largely on tho perfecting of the processes
of mining tho coal, preparu.g it for market
and burning thoso portions which are now
wasto products.

The Millennium.
The long sought star hiding behind the
sun, which Lieutenant Totten prophesied
would appear on Tuosday lost when tho
last week of the anti-Christ begins, did not,
so far as is known, put in an appearance.
In an interview with the Lieutenant, on
that day, he said : "This is the first day of
Nisau the day of tho new sacred Jewish
year. It begins tho final seven years which
load up to tho end of tho 2,520 years as
signed to the 'times ol tbe Gentiles.' I
havo changed none of my views expressed
on the subject. I believe that we are uprci
the borderland tho threshold
as it were a 'week of years' In wh en
mon's hearts will bo tried by fire, sym
bolically understood. I
misunderstood that aside from my author
ized printed notes I alay ne!tate to In
crease me coniuston by int- rviews. Noth

we havo entered. It will ha aval nmfttln
