I 4 this paper found to be punk stuff II We find that there is considerable t l t bone in it and a lot of very fine burn burn- burning 11 coal entirely t too o fine for good burnIng burn bum L Ing and smoke say folks it can t kl make more smoke in a minute than ij Cedar gedar coal can in a day At least that thai l is IS the way we have found it And the the coal received by the B.

B A. A C. C than that shipped shipped ship ship- ped led in and Is cheaper because of the tact fact that it Is a steadier burning coal and has higher heat units than the average a Carbon county coaL It has been given out that our coal runs very Cry high in ash and sulphur All wrong Tong It may have done so when the coal was taken from near the mouth of the working tunnels but development and depth of the Iron County coal measure has proven the coal oal to be cleaner and more compact And greater depth with greater pressure pressure pressure pres pres- sure will have its influence and effect effect ef ef- ef- ef feet and a better superior grade and quality of coal may be reasonably ex ex- ex- ex This from coal authorities of repute Alright so so far so good Then why should Mr Glenn make a statement that that our ur coal Is inferior to the Carbon Carbon Car Car- bon County coal t We find it to be beJ beas beas J as good and in some instances better better better bet bet- ter than the northern coal The following is an average of seven seven seven sev sev- en general samples from as r many different sections of the county Fixed carbon per cent Volatile matter per cent Moisture 70 per cent Ash 36 per cent Organic sulphur 37 per cent The analysis of Carbon County coal as given by Mr Glenn in the Record Record Re Re- cord of October 19 is as follows Fixed carbon per cent Vola Cy Vola q matter per cent Moisture 34 per cent Ash 41 per cent Sulphur per cent centI I Compare the two analysis The slight difference in fixed carbon in favor of northern coal is 17 per cent A less showing hoVing of ash in the Cedar coal of 5 per cent A greater per percent percent percent cent of volatile matter the main cause of dense smoke in the Carbon coal by 51 per cent We shall be glad to know how Mr Glenn figures a saving to the State of by the use of Carbon count county c coal a in view of the above analysis of ofa a p the IB two coals And remember that the Carbon coal comes omes from fully developed mins under under uner un- un der er great pressure while the Cedar coat coal can be said to come from surface openings At the same depth as Carbon Caron Car Car- bon on coal the Cedar coal wilt will be far the he superior of the two Chemists contend that the sulphur in n our coal is inert and in n the form of sulphate of lime Quotation tion from Huntley Precious Metals 10 census U.S. U.S. U. U S. S Vol 13 PP 1885 In n view of the above we think that thata a sad mistake has been made in n sidetracking sidetracking sidetracking side side- i tracking Cedar Coal and spending g state money on northern coal and we think that citizens who have purchased ed northern coal are making a mistake mistake mis- mis take ake in not buying the home product because Because if properly mined and screened screened screened screen screen- ed more heat and less ash and less I smoke and soot will be the result as I compared with the northern coal I Try it for yourselves gentlemen Size up the Cedar coal placed In the U. U P. P depot bins with Carbon County Coal in the B. B A. A C. C bins We believe you OU will readily agree with us that Cedar coal leads in the race for quality |
