The Gait coal, which is mined at Letbbridge, Alberta, is a lignite^oal of the same class, and is used very largely thtoughout British Col umbia and the Northwest Territories. Lignite coals are also mined at Red Deer, and nearJEJdmonton. B. ' Tie useMcMtgqire in l4relTT>rtn of briquets is almost entirely confined- to the European continent at present. The production of lignite in Germany riin 1904 was 48,500,222 tons. In 1905 the increase was about 4 million tuns, and last year marked another increase in the lignite production. Almost all of this coal is briqnetted befoie using The briquets are now used for many purposes for which they were not considered applicable a few years ago. Such as the use for producing suction ^as for firing open- heart steel furnace?. Most of these lignite briquets are manufactured from the raw lignite without | the use of any form of binder.

Each blow of the plunger forces all the briquets in the mould towards the narrowest part, and discharges one briquet ready for the market.
