FLOAT COAL IN AN ALASKAN STREAM The shovel rests on a big lump of coal which has fallen from an outcrop and rolled down the stream. Alaska is so little explored that coal and other minerals are o;i!y discovered by outcrops or float in the streams and valleys. The difference of 450,000 tons is made up l^y importations fromWales, Australia, and the Atlantic seaboard. Owing to improving conditions and increasing demand all thePacific coal mines, whether in Australia, Japan, British Columbia orWashington, are prosperously increasing their output with no appre-hension of any overstocking of the market. In Hawaii, coal con-sumption has doubled in five years, and in the State of Washingtonthe increase has already been noted. The great discoveries of oil inCalifornia have prevented a similar increase in coal consumption there,yet imports have not fallen oft and twice at least within the last threevears San Francisco has suftered from a coal famine. i82 THE ENGINEERING MAGAZINE.
