Since the opening up of those Ktais deposits the United States has been steadily drawing Kut region its fuel supply. Now it is left for Utahth- Mj ntUle i thc unlo"in jnturnl resources to come to th Hm.? cxposc coal fields of greater extent than the state of MSnIa ever dreamed of, says Goodwin's Weekly. The fol- f2alement, based upon geological information, is intended ,Ktf a fair idea of the marvelous deposits of coal which lie j. There has already been discovered in various sections of Kfficient coal to supply the known needs of the United u based upon the consumption figures of this country for mV five hundred years and still not exhaust the known tle- m" Carbon County's Coals Superior. Ljoirfcally speaking, the Utah- deposits nrc unlike thoe of Ktanin. The Eastern coal beds occur in thc carboniferous Kef the earth's crust, while in Utah they occur in thc unnor ill,, formation. Another peculiarity is in the thickness of Es. In the East they are generally of uniform thickness, Kttfcin Utah they seem to hnvebeen deposited in swales or Brt of thc earth's surface during the period of formation Mty making the beds unusunlly thick in thc center and thin- 9Myl3H)tr wBt jfil2.B3 n v V? -S5Hk lHi)ii .irstl w o-,v, arWCT&wgLH W .
