There are within the atate besides those named above, a dozen or more properties w hlch produce fuel 'in small quantities. Most of them are "wagon mines, that Is, they are off the railroad lines and the consumers themselves for the most part drive to the mines to secure their fuel supply. New 1 To port Ion Opened. A number of new coal properties have been opened during the year, or have done preliminary work toward opening up coal strata, among them being the property of the Kinney Coal companv at Scofield; .the Utah Gas and Coke company, near Sunnyslde; the Mutual Fuel company, near Rains; Arthur Gibson and associates. Spring Two or Canjon, near Standardvllle. three coal projects are being launched also near Cedar City, Iron county. Among the properties that hav closed operations during the year, for one reason or another, is the Utah mine of the Utah Fuel company and the Ketchum mine of the Eastern Utah Coal company. Art Important deal In coal properties of the year is the transfer of the WatUs Coal company to the Lion Coal involved This enterprise company prominent Ogden financial interests and is understood to mark an important Teal In the fuel record of 1919. One of the feature of the coal industry in Utah of which officials and all Interested are proud Is ths excellence of the housing conditions In the coal camps These, it is asserted by men who have Inspected eoal sections all over the United States, are not surpassed. and perhaps not equaled, by any other state In the Union. The editor of Coal Age. a recognised leader among fuel periodicals, was a visitor to Utah not long ago and visited the cokl camps of the state. Subsequently he wrote a vigorous editorial for his paper, enthusiastically pralelng the housing condition he found here and asserting that condition In eastern eoal camps were not tb be compared with those of Utah In adequacy, convenience and attractiveness of the home and living surrounding. Not only have the producing coqjjvanles erected modern residences for their emplojees, but In the camps they amusement halls have established and other facilities for making the wholecoal miner life of the pleasant, some and happy. The almost limitless resources in undeveloped coal to be found within the borders of Utah have long been known and advertised to the world. Prof. William Peterson, state geolo- gist, who has been working In connection with the state board of equalization, has recently completed perhaps the most extensive and thorough survey ever attempted of the coal beds that lie under Utah's mountains and hills. It is estimated that the coal cculd be measured in many thousands of millions of tons and that were they fully developed this state could supply the fuel needs of the entire world for many, many years. The dream is still entertained that at some not far distant day the extensive iron deposits that also exist within the state may be developed and that their utilization In conjunction with the immense rr,a reeources will' make of Utah a mighty Industrial empire. i 1 X ' yf KCiM'k.
