TO MANUFACTURE COAL

CHEMICAL CO.MPOIXD KNOWX AS t HEM-COAL" TO BE SOLD. Cheaper than Anthracite and (drei More Heat ( ompany Is Incorporated by Elkhart Men. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind.. July 14. During the stress of the coal famine last winter the Journal described a substitute for coal invented and prepared by Anthon V. Hassman. a tailor, given to delving in chemical lore, and, after Mr. Hassmau has further experimented and improved his compound a company has been formed to establish plants for the manufacture of the product, whieh Is to be called "chemi-coal." The company takes the name, The Chemical Hard and Soft Coal Manufacturing Co., and is officered as follows: PresWent. W. W. Guyer; first vice president. E. A. Baker; second vice president and assistant secretary. W. H. H. Shelley; secretary, U. S. Enders; treasurer, W. B. Hile; superintendent of manufacturing, A. V. Hassman; counsel, Hile & Baker. Messrs. Guyer, Baker, Shelley, Enders and Hile are the directors. The company is incorporated under the laws of Arizona, with a capital of $500.000 divided into lUO.OOO shares, the first 5,000 of which will be placed on the market at $250. The money realized from the sale of stock will be used In establishing plants for the manufacture of "chemi-coal," these plants to be located about two hundred miles apart, so that the freight rates from any center to its extreme radius will not exceed fifty cents per ton. The compound has earth of an adhesive nature for its basis, the combustion being due to a combination of chemicals which is to be protected by patent right about to be applied for. The coal is of grayish brown color, of about the same weight and density of anthracite coal, Is smokeless, dustless, dlrtleae and without offensive or dangerous gas. It leaves no deposit in the pipes or hues, and the residue in the ash pan resembles wood ashes. The company says it can manufacture the coal at a good profit, and yet furnish it to the consumer at $3.50 per ton, and that the tests have shown that one ton of "chemicoal" will furnish as much heat as four of anthracite. A test was made on July 10 in a room of 22l,xl5xll 1-3 feet, the records being taken during the burning of tM pounds of "chemi-coal" and then of the same weight of anthracite. The "chemicoal" burned seven hours and the average temperature was 1!5 1-7 degrees; the anthracite burned but three and one-half hours and the average temperature was 109 3-7 degrees. The residue from the "chemicoal" weighed three pounds and thirteen ounces, . and that from the anthracite weighed six. While the best grade of "chemi-coal" will be utilized as a substitute for anthracite, an inferior grade will be produced as a substitute for soft coal. Mr. Hassman and the gentlemen who have taken up his project have no doubt that there is a wonderfully profitable field for them. s OIL LEASE ACTIVITY.
