Officers of Federal Survey 'Discover
Valuable Fuel Is Left.
Washington, May 8. Coal valued at
$200,000,000 !. being wasted every year
through Improper mining methods. It
is estimated by officers of the Federal
Geological Survey that the loss repre
sents 200.000.000 tons, and that this
amount would supply the country for
six months. Tb. coal i. worth at least
$1 a ton.
J. A. nolmes, one of the officers of
the survey, who are trying to solve the
fuel prohlem, any. today that nearly
half of the total coal supply is left
underground, either as pillars to support
the roof of the mine, or because it 1
of sn inferior quality.
The investigators find that the waste
is also due to the fact that, the working
out of the lower beds of coal first in
some cases breaks and renders imprac
ticable the subsequent mining of the
ad.iacent higher coal beds.
"We are skimming the cream of the
natural resources," said Mr. v Holmes,
"and we srre using the best end cheap
est of our supplies. Each of the suc
ceeding generations will obtain its
needed general supply, but each will
pay higher prices, as mining will con
tinually grow more expensive and more
dangerous. "
Asylum for Quake Sufferer.
Santiago. Chile, May 8. When Val
paraiso and other Chilean, cities suf

C. 1006", the republics of Brazil and Ar
gentina sent their sister nation consid-
eralle sums of money, of which there
remains a surplus in the hands of the
Chiienu government. It hss been deter
mined to use this in founding an asylum
,'o.r the widow and orphans of those
who lost their lives in that disaster.
The sum will be made up to $.100,000 for
the work, and the institution will be

Shippers Preparing for Titanic Batla
With Railroads.
Chicago, May 9 Commercial and
manufacturing interests of cities from
the Mississippi River to Maine, aggre
gHting over $1 .OuO.Ono.Ooo in capital,
are preparing for a titanic struggle
with the Eastera railroads. The ques
tion of a genersl advance in freight
rates is the issue. The gauntlet was
thrown down ly the railroads in tho
shape of a definite announcement that
on July 1 and August 1 a general ad
vance of freight rates approximating
10 per cent will be made east of the
Mississippi River. The great shippers
and manufacturers have lost no time
in accepting the rnge of combat.
The first movement in arraying the
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of ths affected territory in a solid
phalanx against the Eastern railroad
systems was made yesterday by the Il

quickly was followed by the Chicago

a multitude unnumbered. It was the
same imposing pageant of immaculate

the trim little eunboaf Ynrktown

while the Governor of California, the
Mayor of San Francisco and the peo

voiced the greetings of the enthusi

The exciting thrill of possible ad
