Tremendous changes have taken place since early coal min-
ing days. Mining methods and mining machinery have become
far safer and better. Much now happens to coal before it leaves
the mine that was never imagined even ten years ago.
Witness the modern coal refinery pictured above. It houses
a seven-step process which raises the quality of a naturally high
grade coal. It reduces the ash content to a predetermined per-
centage, steps up heat value and burning efficiency. It washes
and dustproofs the coal to a new cleanliness; sizes it with me-
chanical precision to suit each type of heating plant.
Such coal is strictly modern fuel, highly efficient.
