PAGE EIGHT , BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE 1920 TURDAY, DEC. 11, LIGN RANKING HIGH SAYS BABCOCK | Results of Experiments at State. University Shows Pos- ! sibilities | To promote the lignite coal indus: } try in North Dakota continual inves-| tigations and experiment are being! conducted at the School of Mines, Uni-| y of North Dakota and are nging about valuable disclosures that promise to develop the fields in according to information given out by Dean A. J. Babcock. Investigations demonstrated that the heat or calorfic power of the av-} erage lignite of North Dakota, when entirely dry, is about 65 per cent of that of the Hocking Valley coal, anal about 60 per cent of that of Po- cahontas coal, The analyses which have been made show that the fixed carbon in they examples of North Dakota coal (dried) usually runs 48 to 50 per cent; that of West Virginia bituminous coals about 6 per cent; that of the better grades | of semi-Dituminous dry coals of Mary- land per cent, and that of the! tine, close’ burning ‘bituminous lvania 70 per cent. dry, coals of Pennsy! i Good Heating Power i In a general way, it is claimed by} the North Dakota School of | Mines that the heating power of one ton of North Dakota coal will equal about 65 per cent of a ton (1,300 pounds) of bituminous coal. ‘The purity of a tuel is a a very important, element in determining its value. A difference of two or three per cent in the earth--- ly matter of two coals may be the source of a very serious difference in their final value ‘North Dakota coals, it is learned, are almost always very free from earthly matter as seen, from the amount and character of their ash, A successful ana sufficiently inex- pensive method for commercial bri- | quetting of lignite is now being devel-/ oped at the School of Mines. The, process is made commercially possible | and profitable by operating of the bri- quetting in conjunction with a gas producing plant in which a variety of by-products are saved and utilized, and by which process the residue after the gas has been driven off can be successtully briquetted into a con- centrated and valuable fuel. Much Coal in State / “Something {s known of the vast deposits of lignite coal which are found within the State of North Da- kota, but it is surprising how litle the immense value of these deposits is appreciated,” says Marle J. Bab- cock, dean of the college of mining engineerig at the state university. “There is a very large area in the western part of the state which is un- derlaid with quite thick lignite coal. Whether the outcrops which have been discovered are fragments of one immense basin which has been brok- en up by water action ad covered by newer formations, or whether they are deposits of numerous woody swamps of the same geological period, we may not at present determine with certainty, but we may be sure that North ‘Dakota has enough coal, if properly used, to supply her needs for generations. “North Dakota, has one of the largest coal areas of the states of the Union, estimated “at 32,000 square miles and capable of producing prob- ably 500 \billion tons, While many niines have been opened in different localities, the deposits are of the most , part undeveloped. these’ deposits are in a general way similar, still they, vary somwhat in both physical and chemical , proper- ties in different localities. Usually the coal is of a broy seldom having much luster. Oc sionally, however, seams are encoun- tered which are more compact and have a darker coor and a brighter luster. The seams most commonly worked usually appear at from 50 to 200 feet below the surface and vary in thickness from 7 to 20 feet.” Dry Mined Lehigh Lignite Coal for Sale. .W. J.

RICHARDION “RIOT” CASE Stark County District Court Ends Heavy Grind of Litigation Dickinson, Dec. 11-—With the ex- cepacu OL a rew court cases which will be held in the court room next Monday and Tuesday, the regular fall | term of the Stark county district court} SOON SETTLED i a 5 until later Tuesday morning. The session ended abruptly after attor- neys in several cases had asked for a! continuance which was granted by the | judge. Chief among these were the} cases of the state versus Oscar Rapp | on charges of grand larceny and | bribery. This case was transferred to | the Stark county court from Billings | county. Murtha & Starke of Dickin- son and John Sullivan of Mandan, at- torneys for the defendant, moved for a continuance of the case in order tc permit ithem to {secure deposit/ons from two important witnesses. Judge James M. Hanley of Mandan, who had been called here to sit in the case, ordered a continuance upon the con- Rad expenses incurred by the state in se- curing its witnesses for the trial. These expenses amounted to $524 and the court directed judgment against the defpndant for that amount. Postpone Case After many delays and postpone- | ments the Richardton riot case was brought to trial Tuesday morning and! was quickly settled when, Nick Reiss, one of the quartette of Rich- ardton young men involved, pleaded { guilty to a charge of assault and bat- tery upon the person of one Galla- gher, an organized for the Nonpar- | tisan league, who visited Richardton early last spring and while, there made his presence obnoxious to his sorrow. Reiss was fined $50 and; costs. L. A. Simpson, who was ap- pointed special prosecutor in the case, did not appear in court. } Jacob Peterson, who was found guilty of drunk and disorderly con-; duct on the streets of Dickinson in the police court late in August and | given a fine of $5 and costs, appealed Ihis case to the district court, where lit was heard Monday afternoon. M.| iL. McBride appeared for the city and H. C. Berry for Mr. Peterson, After | being out for a short time, the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the | defendant. Dv tion is Charged The last jury case to be tried was that of the state versus John Tuma} which was brought to trial Tuesday ! morning. Tuma was charged with | wife desertion and non-support. Testimony offered at the trial tended to show that since June 12 of the current year that the defendant had contributed but $6 toward the} igupport of his wife and family, who} nave been in-a destitute condition and | largely dependent upon kindly neigh- | ‘bors and aid furnished by the county, | especially during the time that the | ‘home was quarantined for scarlet | fever. ‘ ay Tuma admitted that while running about from place to place that he had constantly sought an easier job that would pay him more money. He stat- ed that he had cherished’ a strong yearning for “an job driving a water Wagon on a ghing rig, but wa: bition.” chasing this rainbow, hi mitted that he had earne during the summer months as an em- ployee of the North Dakota Home Builders Association and as a harvest hand.

Cain conducted the prosecution and Otto | Thress, of the lay firm of Pugh & | Thress, appeared for the defendant. | The jury after being out less than | ten minutes, returned a verdict. of guilty. Sentence was deferred until Wednesday morning when Tuma was given a suspended sentence of three years in the state: penitentiary upon a bond of $1,000 guaranteeing -the proper support of his family.
