(K\nT\nGrand Forks, B. C, Friday, September 23, 1904\nISSUED TWICE A WEEK\nInternational Coal and Coke\nCompan)*\"\" Is Making\nGood Progress.\nFacts and Figures Interesting\nto Shareholders in\nThis Business.\nThe following able description of\nthe International Coal & Coke company's properties at Coleman, Alta.,\nhas been received from Mr. W. A.\nHarkin, the well known press correspondent. As this company is a\nsemi-local concern, the article is\npublished in its entirety for the bene-\nli iif the numerous shareholders in\nthis city:\nI'p here, near the portal of the\n(.'row's Ncsi I'ass, nature with a lavish hand deposited bituminous coul\nmeasures which for thickness and\nquality are nut rivalled elsewhere.\nThe development of the potential\nwealth so essential to the economic\nprogress of a young nation like the\nDominion dales hack in a relative\nsuisc only yesterday. Coleman,\nwhere the Dominion colliery of the\nInternational Coal and Coke com\npuny is located, 'mil no existence a\nyear ago ; today it is pulsating witli\nlife and gives promise of soon becoming the chief centre of the coal\nand c.ike industry of the entire district. Tiie transformation has been\nsimply short of marvelous. The\ncoal company is rapidly completing\nthc installation of a plant with a\ncapacity to handle an output of\n2,000 tolls of bituminous coal daily.\nSince last October not less than 3(1,-\n000 tons of coal have been extracted\nin the course of development work.\nA fortnight hence, even before the\nmost essential equipment shall have\nbeen installed, the colliery will be\nmaintaining an output of 500 tons\ndaily, it is conservatively estimated\nthat the production will reach 1,000\ntons daily Iiy January 1st next, and\n2,000 tons per day, the limit of tlu\nplant, by .May or June next. Thut\n' far the output has been sold in advance. To accommodate the growing trallic the ('. P. II. lias already\nbuilt 2J miles of tracks and sidings\non the coal company's property at\nColeman. A double battery of 10-1\ncoke ovens, capable of producing\n140 tons of coke daily, were completed recently, and provision lias\nheen made-for thc erection of 310\nadditional io';o ovens at an early\ndate. A portion of the coking plant\nis now in operation. It is producing\na superior quality of coke, which\nfinds a ready market in the British\nColumbia smelting centres, where it\nis utilised in the reduction of metalliferous ores.\nThis in outline is the story of the\nresults i.ccoinplisbed at Coleman in\nless thnn 12 months. The company\nemploys about 300 men, including\nmechanics engaged in construction\nwork. A noteworthy feature is Ihe\nfact tbat tbe coal extracted in the\n\"course of development has thus far\nactually paid all costs of develop\nment of the mine.\n. The bituminous coal lands acquired by this company extend about\nseven miles north aud south on the\nstrike of thc coal measures, and have\na width of one mile. The greater\nlength of these coal lands is south of\nthe railway. So advantageously are\nthey situated that the main line of\nllic Crow's Nest branch of the C. P.\nIt. passes within 200 yards of the\nmain e itry of the mine. The scams,\nseven in number, run parallel north\nand south, and are embraced in an\narea less than 700 feet wide. The\ncrnppings can be plainly traced at\nintervals on the surface for two miles\nnorth and five miles south of the\ntrack, all within the limits of the\ncompany's property. These scams\nhave a westerly dip of about 35 de\ngrces, and are regular and consistent\nand in good condition wherever\ntested. With one exception they are\nall east of and under that now known\nas No. 2, and oo which for the present must of the development bus\nbeen done. No. 1, the most westerly\nseam, is about 5 feet in thickness ;\nNo. 2 is 14 feet; No. 3, which is\nopened two miles away to thc southward, is 17 feet; No. 4 is 8 feet, and\nNo. 5 about 7 feet. A Pittsburg,\nPa., consulting coal mining engineer\nlost year estimated the coal in s'gbl\nabove the water level of the Old Man\nriver at 04.000,000 tons. The coal\ntaken out in development is excellent\nfor steaming purposes, being ahso\nlutcly free from impurities. It runs\nfrom (10 to 05 per cent in fixed car\nboo, and makes a firm coke of ex\nceptional quality.\nDevelopment work is uow being\nconcentrated on Nos. 2 and 4 seams.\nThe main entry and airway driven\non No. 2 seam is now in about 2,200\nfeet, This seam is very uniform\nthroughout, averaging about 14 feet\nin thickness. Coal has been extracted\nfrom this working daily since the\ncommencement of operations. At a\npoint 1,000 feet distant from the pit\nmouth of the main entry and airway\na crosscut tunnel was driven at the\n45degree angle through rock, intersecting No. 3 seam, 150 feet distant,\nand encountering No. 4 seam HO feet\nfurther east. The development of\nNo. 3 scam has not yet been undertaken. An entry and airway have\nbeen driven south from the crosscut\ntunnel along No. 4 seam for a distance of abuut 500 feet. This scan\nis 8 feel iu thickness, possesses a good\nroof and bottom, and in the matter\nof dip presents thc same uniform\ncharacteristics of No. 2 seam. The\nentries on the coal have already\nopened up a large area of ground.\nThe mine is being developed on the\nstall and pillar system, with banier\npillars. Later on the crosscut tunnel\nfrom No, 2 to No. 4 scams will be\nextended further cast to interseel\nthree other- seams. The fate, '-', 0.\nfeet from the portal of No. 2 seam,\nowing to the gradual rise of the\nmountain, gives a depth of 400 feet\nvertically from the surface. A slope\nnow being sunk on No. 2 scum is\ndown 400 feet on the pitch of tbe\nscam. \u2022\u2022 Lifts will be made every 300\nfeet. This will provide rooms 300\nfeet in length, thus affording a rapid\nand economical method of devolpp-\nment and extracting, combined with\nthe utmost safety. Every device\nknown to modern coal mining practice is being utilised. The main\nsystem of car haulage will bo compressed air. Tbe workings will bo\nventilated by a Capell reversible fan,\n16 feet in diameter, driven by a two-\nspeed 150 h.p. motor, und will furnish 150,000 cubic feet of air per\nContinued on Second Tugc.\n1\nhilly invited to be present.

Incorporation pap'rs have been applied for from Victoria, under the\nBenevolent Sooii tics Ait, by \u2022 th'\nfollowing gentlemen as incorporators:\nJeffrey Hammer, H. C. Hanington\nIsaac Dinsmore, Harold IC. Wi o !-\nland and William I'. Bower. 'It is\nnroposed to erect a hospital or purchase the present one, which would\nbe known as the Grand Forks General Hospital. It is understood the\nmovers in this enterprise hiive received an offer from Miss Rhodes,\ntbe proprietress of the present hospital. If this were purchased it\nwould, of couse, be enlarged. Nothing definite will be decided upon,\nhowever, until the incorporation\npapers shall have been received. In\nthe meantime a subscription list will\nbe circulated to enable the promoters\nan cpp'irtui i y of knowing what\namount would be available to carry\nthe movement to a successful termination.\nRemember the annual Harvest\nHome supper, to be given in the\nbrick block on Bridge street by the\nladies of Knox church on Monday,\nOctober 3rd.\nMr. and Mrs. J.

This fan now being installed\nou No. 2 seam on the surface will be\nin operation about October 1st, enabling the mine forthwith to maintain an output of 5(10 tons of coal\ndaily.\nThe broad nnd comprehensive policy of thc company is evidenced by\ntl.e large expenditure incurred in the\nerection and equipment of the surface works, including the power\nhouse und tipple, all of which arc in\nan advanced stage 'of completion.\nThese works arc situated north of the\nOld Man river and alongside the\nmain line of the railway. Thc power\nhouse, 80x82 feet, is a fireproof\nstone structure, it contains six linn-\nel's, each of 125 h.p. capacity, fur\nnislied by the Erie City Iron works,\nof Eric City, Pa. The cngiites, two\nin number, arc each of 400 h.p; capacity. They were built by the\nPhoenix Iron Co., of Meudsvillc, Pa.\nThe engines are directly connected\nwith two 250 kilowatt electric generators (equivalent to 335 h.p. each),\nsupplied by the Wes'inghouse Electric Co., of Pittsburg, Pa. These\ngenerators will furnish the electrical\nnrretit for the various motors to\npcnite the fan, tipple, lurries, ihe\nmachine shop and for the lighting\nof the town of Coleman. Other machinery equipment comprises a Canadian Hand drill, compressor of\n1,000 pounds pressure for the purpose of furnishing air for the car\nhaulage system throughout the\nmines. This machine compresses\nair at the rite nf 750 cubic feet per\nminute,\nThe tipple, situated alongside the\nrailway track and 200 yards distant\nfrom tho colliery, is the largest affair\nof the kind in the Crow's Nest district. It liasii handling and storage\ncapacity of 4,000 tons daily. A\nsteam hoist of 100 h.p. capacity,\nbuilt by the Jenskes Machine Co.,\nof Sherbrooke, Que., will hoist the\ncars from the yard In a self-dumping\ncage 80 feel lo thc toji of the tipple.\nTiie coal, after passing over a series\nof screens, falls upon two picking\ntallies, with a capacity of 100 tons\neach per hour and driven by a 25\nh.p. motor. Falling by gravity, it\nis automatically screened and delivered ill bins in the lower floor of the\ntipple, ready for shipment by rail.\nThe slack coal, previously separated,\nis delivered into oilier bins, whence\nit falls into the lurries (cars), which\nin turn convey it and automatically\ndump it into the coke ovens, a short\ndistance away. The tipple has a\ncapacity of 2,000 tuns every 10 hours,.\nIf worked full time it will be ample\nto handle the output of the mine for\nseveral years to come. The lurries\nwhich convey thc slack coal to the\ncoke ovens are operated byeleclricilv.\nThe loading of the railway box ears\nwill be effected by means of an Ot-\ntuniwa box car loader, which is located in front of the tipple ami alongside the railway (rack. This novel\ndevice is a great labor saver and prevents breakage of tbe coal.\nThe company have also erected\nmachine, blacksmith and woodworking shops. Power is furnished\nby a 25 h.p. motor.\nAt the present rate nf development\nCuleman is destined to become one\nofthe largest and must prosperous\ntowns on the Crow's Nest railway.\nThe ('. P. I{. is an enormous .consumer of coal, nnd the wants of\nthousands of Bottlers on the prairies,\nfor purely domestic purposes, are\ngrowing apace and arc likely soon to\ntax the productive capacity of many\ncoal mines. A considerable proportion of the output will be converted\ninto coke, for which a ready market\nis already assured, not only in the\nsmelter towns of British Columbia,\nbut among leading American smelting centres like Grnit Falls, Helena,\nButte and A.iacnuda. The market\nis practically unlimited, especially\nas Canadian coke is of the highest\nstandard of quality, and can bo sold\nas cheaply as western American coke\nnf inferior grade ; moreover the mileage to Montana is not greater than\nto Boundary smelling points. The\nplant and equipment; as well as the\neconomical method of mining now in\nvogue at Coleman, will absolutely\nenable Coleman eoal and coke lo\nmeet all competitors in the western\nmarket, on both sides of the line.\nThe president of the International\nCoul and Coke company is Mt.
