REMOVAL OF ASH
FROM COAL IS AIM
. OF FEDERAL TESTS
(United States Daily)
Most of us who burn coal in our
furnaces would be glad to have
less ash to handle. There is also
unnecessary expense in paying
freight and other handling costs
on useless noncombustible ma
terial.
Since 1919 the Northwest Ex
periment Station of the United
States Bureau of Mines has been
| engaged in a series of studies hav
ing as its object the removal of
| extraneous ash from coal prior to
| burning.
I For this work there has been
Ibuit up one of the finest labor
atories for studying coaf prepara
tion problems that can be found
jin this country.
| Tests by the Bureau early showed,
that the methods used at many
mines for the removal of useless
ash-forming materials from the
raw coal were not efficient, par_
ticularly for the recovery of the
fine sizes of coal.
Up to date the methods investi
gated have chiefly depended on the
fact that particles of pure coal are
much lighter than fragments of
contaminating impurities of equal
size.
I If the coal as mined were
crushed until each particle was
either pure coal or wholly impur
ity. a moving stream of water or
air could be adjusted to a velocity I
which would carry off the lighter '
coal and leave the heavier rock. j.
But, it is actually impossible to
crush coal to such a fine size
| that all the impurities are freed,
! since some, known as inherent ash,
‘is an itebral part of the smallest
| particle of coal possible to obtain,
i The amount of such inherent ash
varies greatly in different coals.
| The Seattle station has perfected
| a laboratory technique (float-and
sink method) for determining the
I limits to which the ash in any j
! coal can be reduced by cleaning, i
Sometimes, however, the amount |
of clean coal recovered at such i
imits is so little that it would not
be economical to try to clean it to
this point.
‘ Therefore, the laboratory tests
also show what amount of coal
can be recovered at any ash con
tent between that in the untreat
ed material and the lowest pos
sible limit. This enables the op
erator to secure the best product
possible from his particular coal
under existing economic conditions
and saves him useless attempts
i to make a higher grade material.

GOLF COURSE FOR CORD
ME WITH IE HOLES
Miniature golf has shrunk to j
card-table size, according to Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. A com
plete nine-hole course is now laid
out on a piece of heavy metal, two i
feet square.
The fairways are of a composi- !
tion material which makes them
look and play like real grass, and
hazards are made of wood in
colors. The metal sheet is mount
ed in a wooden frame, and the
gafne is played with tiny putters
and balls.
FLYING WESTWARD
Mr. Terhune, head of the Alaska
Game Commission, is northbound
to Cordova on the SS Aleutian
from which point he will take to
the air on a flight to Dillingham.
He plans to return to Seward, via
plane, in time to meet Senator
Walcott, who, with his party, are
expected to be here next week.
