Allen, chief mine iiisj lector for the industrial commission of I' tah. author of the report, slates that iu 1929 he iusjected the field near Mt. Carmel and secured a large sample, which was tctcd at the intcruiounraiii exieriineut station of the I nited States bureau of mines at Salt laike Cilv, with these results: Gallons of oil jht ton, 68.8; siecific gravity of the oil, .t045; setting imint, 36 deg. centigrade; per cent ah in the coal, 22.2; jier ceut nitrogen, 1.39. Although the coal was examined in 1907, it was not until 1916 or 1917 that the first test for oil was made by Dean E. Winchester, and his j Famine Ia Predicted. March 12. Declaring that the weeks production and of coal lias declined 43 (ter cent in the last two months the Railway Age today said that if present tendencies are not eiieedily changed the people within a few months will lie confronted with the most serious danger of a ral famine ever knowu.

Cannel coal for many yean has been known as a source of oil and formerly it was the only substance front which kerosene was obtained. The name of coal oil Mas given to kerosene because it was derived from cannel eoal liefore any floM'ing wells brought in in the United States. In an isolated region in Southern Utah there is an unusually thick and clean bed of cannel coal which lalmratory exjieriments indicate ran be made to yield about seventy gallons of oil to the ton. This coal was first descrilied in Bulletin No. 341 of the United States geological survey under the title of Colob Coal Field. This field lies st the M'estern and southern base of Colob Plateau and extends from the tou-of Cedar Uity and southsard to to the and then Boutheastn-artown of Mt. Cannel. Cedar City is thirty-fiv- e miles south of east from Lund, on the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, which is the nearest railroad point. Mt. Carmel is aliout ninety miles south of Murvsvale on the Denver and Rio Grande, which is the nearest railroad point from the eastern end of the field. e n Kan-arr- a, d The Colob coal occurs in lower cretaceous rocks and a number of wagon mines have been opened on the seam in the vicinity of Cedar City, KanSrra and Mt. Carmel, but between these places the field bas been very little prospected. The cannel coai, so far as knosn at present, is limited to a small area on tbe headwaters of the north fork of the Virgin river, in Tsps. 39 and 40 South, Range 9 East. In this region it occurs as a bed five and a half feet thick, over M'hich lies a layer of bituminous eoal two feet five inches thick. A thin section of the coal was also examined by David White of the survey, who gave this report: The fuel contains very little in the way of vestiges of the cell structures of higher plants, being made up largely of russet and lemon yellow, more or less lenticular, or globular, translucent bodies embedded in a brownish black ground mass of somewhat floccnlent aspect. Some of this translucent matter is probably resinous, while it ia possible that some of the lemon yellow substance, lesa in quantity, may be gelatinous, though that is not at all certain.

He was in Salt Lake City last Saturday after having inwcted the work in Utah, lie said that he considered the precautions for employes safety taken by mine owners and their agents commendable, and that the interest and enthusiasm of the men themselves is encouraging. Parker praised Carl A.

In apearance the eoal, like other cannel coal, resembles bone more than coal. It is hard and breaks with a conchoidal fracture. Slivers of the eoal may le readily ignited with a match.
