|Flower o of Babyhood at Asbury Park “om COMPANIES Wins Prizes in Annual Kiddies’ Show KEEP GRIP ON CULM BANKS PEOPLE NEED — There Is a 12-Mile Mountain Chain of Them, Much Fine Grade Coal. WOULD CHECK PRICE, 20,000,000 Tons Known to @ Exist and May Be Twice That Amount. (Spectal to The Evening World.) POTTSVILLE, Pa., Aug. $1.—Im- mense mountains of culm banks, little touched in past years, still are on hand in this region, trom Potts- lle to Tamaqua, a distance of twelve miles. These huge mountains of coal tower ever the roadsides in amazing quan- tity, and it is said the coal is of splendid quality. Up the Heckscher- ville Valley, only ten *minutes’ ride from this city, the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and tron Company also has an almost unlimited supply of culm, the huge banks being as high as the mountains, There are millions of tons in these banks, more than could be possibly hauled by the rail- roads in years, and the coal was placed there at a time when pea coal was not salable, Consequently the coal, besides being of great quantity, is of good quality. These banks are untouched, beca' the big corporations which own them ship only a small amount of culm and have reserved these mountains of fuel for the future. Many thin there will never be an mergency when they could be put to etter use than now., Near Tamaqua are small banks, Fhich were sold several years ago f the use of the poor of New York, byt the quantity was so small and the location so inaccessible that the “gift” to the poor was unavailadle. The quantity of known culm in this region is almost as great as several qn because forgotten culm anks fre constantly being brought to light. me of these has just been uncovered at Port Carbon, where it was overgrown with weeds and moss. ‘This bank is in control of individuals and to-day the shipping of its con- tents to New York was begun. When any of these huge mountains of coal get under control of inde- pendents or small companies the coal is immediately used, but the big coal companies seem intent upon seeing their huge mountains dot the land- scape forever, even while people are clamoring for fuel all ever the N: tion. Nearly all this culm would be available at least for apartment house and hotel uss Additional culm banks were put into service to-day to supply the steam coal trade at Philadelphia and New York. A big bank right at the classifica- tion yards of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway {s being scooped up rge arrivals of cars filled with culm Pasa there will soon be plenty of his fuel at New York and Philadel- Phia. The quantity of culm in the Schuyl- kill region is estimated at not less than 20,000,000 tons and is probably double that amount Price of coal took another advance of $1 here to-day from the only col- lieries which are operating and sup- ge needs of the lower part of the hracite region. Fourteen dollars a ton is now asked for chestnut coal which does not include hauling. This would be equivalent to $18 a ton at Philadelphia after freight and deal- ers’ commissions are added It is predicted, however, there will be a sharp drop as soon as the big collieries resume. -ENOUGH cULM FOR 125-FOOT BLANKET OVER RHODE ISLAND Pennsylvania Coal Barons Hang On to It to Prevent Flooding Market. The investigation of conditions in the Pennsylvania coal fields made some time ago by Sophie Irene Loeb fpr The Evening World, disclozed the te that the miners were docked in eir pay for mining this culm. It was found to be not uvble as grates and furnaces were not made for utili zation of this grade of fine coal, which included the grades known as chest nut, pea, rice and smaller size In times of distress, levy was made upon these mountains of culm, and t quantities were transported to eity and sold The cost to the companies Was from 10 to 40 cent ton, and it Was sold here at the pre: vuiling price of « some of it at $12 @ ton Within a few feet of the r ad yard at St. Claire, the main distribu ting point of the southern anthracite felde, there is 2 culm bank containing about 250,000 tons.

In fact, the machinery of some of the washeries has been broken up fer want of leases to pre pare this coal {ur market. ‘There are some culm banks which are said to be 90 per cent. geo coal There have been men willing to pay considerable for the privilege of tak ing this coal, lovling it on wagon and in turn on < Iut they have n Proliibited from uoing so by those ing the piles.
