COKE OVENS OF THE UNION COLLIERIES CO., VANCOUVER ISLAND. Experts have reported that if coal were taken from the Clow’s Nest Pass region alone at the rate of from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons a year that field would not be exhausted in less than 5,000 years. Nature seems to have made a provision that is almost providential —that in those regions barren of fuel in forests, the earth should contain almost exhaustless resourced of coal.
