Coal May Make Sweden Rich.

Deposits of coal in Sweden, discovery of which was reported recently from Stockholm, may help to solve one of Sweden’s most difficult industrial problems. Sweden has an almost Inexhaustible supply of very fine iron ore an IS wedish scientists for years have unsuccessfully attempted to devise means of working it by electricity. With a coal supply at home it is pointed out that Sweden has an opportunity ta become one of the great industrial countries of the world. The rising cost of labor in Great Britain already has placed England at a disadvantage with the United States in the Italian coal trade and if Sweden could produce coal in quantities warranting export she doubtless would become a competitor of both the United States and England.
