Per cent, of the coal resourcee a Can-
ada. D. B. I)owlieg, of the GeOlogical
Survey of Canada, in "Tile Coal Re-
sources of tlle Weald," has estimatea
that Alberta oanaiza ali aetual re-
serve of ever, 38'6,000 million tons and
a probable reserve of about 674,000
million taus, Tills makes a total re-
serve for the province of considerably
over 1,000,000 million tone.
eloee geological study of the
Drumheller area, one of the principal
predacing areas of Alberta, shows
that it alone will be egaal to tbe needs
of manY future generations. The yield,
it is estimated, will amount to ap-
proximately 1,200 tens per acre foot
with an aggregate of ten feet of Work-
able coal over at least 6,000 acres.
Geolopists. estimate the reserve
anaounts to nearly 100 millien tons.
eVith reserves such as these, it may
be confidently predicted that coal min-
ing in Alberta is only in its infancy.
The industry began in 1881 when coal
was dug from the bake of theelver at
Lethbridge. A- little later a mine was
opened at Anthracite on the main line
of the C.P.R. from which coal was ob-
tained for the use- of locomotives and
boilers in connection with •the heavy
coal from Alberta to Ontario to $7 a
ton in an effort to encourage and popu-
larize its use east of tee Great Lakes,

This situation has given United

COMPASS DOES NOT

delicate, restless inetrurnent they are
enabled to tell direction. Yet contrary
to popular belief the magnetic com-
pass does not poiat due north, but "

Pherson, on the Mackenzie, river, with-

that this is because the magnetic poles
