HUNDREDS YEARS OF

COIUTHE 0, S,
DR. EGLOFF ASSERTS TAR FROM
BITUMINOUS PRODUCT CAN
BE CONVERTED
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 10. (£>)—'Th
vast bituminous coal deposits of th
United States can supply the world’
need for motor fuel for the next 80i
years, according to Dr. Gustav Egloff
technical director, Universal Oil Prod
ucts Co., Chicago.
In making this prediction at th<
final session of the international con
ference on bituminous coal at Car
negie Institute of Technology, Dr. Eg
loff described how he had converted
tar, extracted from coal, into motoi
fuel through the medium of a crack
ing process. Dr. Egloff said the mo
tor fuel he invented would double the
mileage per gallon as compared to or
dinary gasoline, while operating a
high compression motor. “The su
perior quality of this type of motor
fuel is due to the high percentage of
aromatics and unsaturated hydrocar
bons contained therein,” he said.
The United States has approxi
mately 1,600,000,0000,000 tons of the
2,154,000,000,000 tons of bituminous
coal in the world on the basis of es
timates, he asserted.
“By means of low-temperature dis
tillation of this quantity of bituminous
coal,” he continued, “800,000,000,000
barrels of tar can be produced, which
under cracking conditions, would
yield 240,000,000,000 barrels of motor
fuel of high antiknocking properties.”
Clarence B. Wisher, of the Carbocite
Co., Canton, Ohio, placed before the
delegates what he termed coal balls,
produced by ^heating raw coal. The
product is smooth, irregularly sound,
of varied shapes and sizes. Explain
ing the process, Wisner said heat was
driven into the coal and that the hot,
dry coal was then in condition for com
pletion into balls as it flows from the
carbonizer. * ■

“Eighteen month ago I got stuck
on a prospect in the Nuka bay district
and began to do a little prospecting.
My enthusiasm has not diminished a
particle ' since then,” stated Dennis
Hurley, president of the Alaska Hill
Mines Corp., and who also heads the
Nuka Bay Mining Company, speak
ing before the Chamber of Commerce
members a tew days ago.
The Alaska Hills ig in better condi
tion than it was a year ago, and tho
the output is slow the results have
been very encouraging, it is our in
tention to install a compressor in the
spring. At the present time there are
three mills in operation during the
summer months in the bay which have
a combined tonnage capacity of ap
proximately 40 tons.”
