TO SAVE THE COAL SUPPLY.

Washington , - The government ,

of coal to place far in the llistance the
day when the country's coal supply
shall bo exhausted. Crude methods
of production , with more attention
pal to cheap production than to sav.
ing and scientific methods of mIning ,
have resulted in an astonishing waste
of coal. This will never be recog-
