The "coal reserve" of the United States--by which is meant the esti- mated amount of coal underground--- is, aceording to figures presented by the International Geological Consress of 1913, about twenty times as much as that of Great Britain, and prac- tically half that of the entire world. This is the estimate of coal reserves of the principal countries given in metric tons (2,200 pounds) :-- United States . . , 3,486,361,000,000 1,234,269,000,000 995,687,000,000 (1913) 423,356,000,000 Great Britain . . . 189,533,000,000 Siberia 173,879,000,000 Australia, 165,572,000,000 India . 79,001,000,000 Russia .. oh 60,160,000,000 | Austria ...,.... 53,876,000,000 Colombia . . 27,000,000,000 Indo-China 20,000,000,000 17,583,000,000 Following is the estimated avail- able coal supply of the United States (in short tons), as given by the United States Geological Survey: -- North Dakota 697,921,200,000 Wyoming 670,545,100,000 Montana . ........ 381,63,800,000 Colorado ; 317,589,600,000 Illinois . 199,951,500,000 New Mexico 191,777,900,000 West Virginia .... 150,363,600,000 Pennsylvania 124,627,000,000 Kentucky 1223,015,000,000 Ohio eo... 92,943,900,000 Utah . . 88,294,000,000 Missouri. .... 83,820,000,000 Alabama . 67,200,000,000 Washington 63,776,400,000 Oklahoma, 54,862,300,000 Indiana . 52,673,500,000 - The United States seems likely to become the chief coal exporting country of the world. In the year | immediately preceding 'the war, the United States ranked third in coal exportation. Great Britain being first with 74,000,000 tons, Germany ge- cond with 35,000,000, the United States 22,000,000, Belgium 6,000,- 000, Japan 4,000,000, South Africa a little more than "2,000,000 and Canada and. Australia about 2,000,- 000 each, This showed a grand to- tal of 160,000,000 tons of coal mov- ing in export in the world as a ne- cessity of international trade, / Reports from Great Britain, for- merly the world's chief coal exporter, indicate that her exports of coal in the year ending in June are about one-half that of the year preceding the war, while the coal exports of the United States have Increased meantime more than 25 ber cent, ac- cording to a bulletin from the Na- tional City Bank of New York. Great Britain fell from 78,400,000 tons in 1913 to 87,000,000 in the twelve months ending in June, 1919, while the coal exports of the United States, which were a little more than 10,- 000,000 tons in the fiscal year of 1914, were nearly 26,000,000 in the 'Bscal year 1918. Great Britain will do well to supply her own home con- sumption this year and have 20,000, 000 tons for export, : Germany lost a bercentage of her coal area by the peace treaty, and under the peace terms she must sup- -Dly a large amount of coal to France, and she will have but a, Small amount, f any, coal for exportation, ; With this fall off of more than half in the power of British coal export- ation, the elimination of Germany as a coal exporter (except to France), and the extremely small quantity which any other country can this year export it seems clear that the United States will take its place at the head of the list of coal exporting coun: tries. Even through the" fall off in 'the last year in the coal production in the country, due to 'the return to Europe of so many 'aliens who were miners, may tontinue for a brief per- lod, 'it is believed the United States will retain first place in' coal export-§ ation, for the reason that more than one-half of her output is mined with machinery, as against about one-fifth mined by machine methods in Great Britain. ; Our Timber, At the conference of the Cana- dian Forestry Association held . at Montreal, it was resolved that per- mission be obtained to make an ac- curate survey of all standing timber in Canada, showing the various kinds of lumber and fits quality, location and accessibility, together with avail-| able means of transport to the near- | est market, also g report of all eut- over lands which are suitable only for forest growth, with the extent and situation of Same. This inform- ation, it ig considered, would be of the utmost value, not only to lumber operators, but to the Dominion anda Provincial Governments, enabling them to develop to the full extent a permanent forest policy which Would have the effect of conserving the great natural resources contained in Canada's forests.
