Abstract
IT is well known that our stock of coal is not an infinite quantity, and cannot last an infinite period of time. Different authorities, and those who have investigated the subject, including a Royal Commission, have assigned different lengths of time during which our supply is likely to last; and, according to the most reliable authorities, it cannot be much less than 100 nor much more than 250 years.
