This interesting statement is made by Edward W. Parker of the Utiited States geological survey, i the advance chapter on coke from the vol- ume Mineral Resources for 1911, estimate is based on the value of the by-products resulting from the 7,847, 845 #@ns Jt coke made-in by-product ovens tn 1911. The value of these by- products recovered in 1911 was equal to the vqlue as the mines of the coal used in making the coke. From_ information received by the survey from the superintendent of mo- tive power of the Pennsylvania Rail- road company, Mr. Parker estimates that the quantity of power which might be obtained from the qoking operations in the Connellsville and Lower Con- nelisville istricts by substituting non- Tecovery rétort ovens for beehive ovens and using the heat which Is now wast- ed would be more than twice the quan- ity of power necessary to move every train on the tween Pitts] g and Harrisburg.
