fWASTE OF RESOURCES MUST
' STOP IF WE ARE TO PROSPER
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. s.
Thnl tho present, prodigious waste
of tho na.Uon'8 nulluni resources must
stop' at once if wo arc lo continue n>
prosper Is the warning given lo the
people of Ihe United i8at*s by J. A.
Holme.-, chief of llio Technological
branch of the Uulted Stales Geological
Survey, who his just returned l>
Washington after a three mouth's ill
sped Ion trip through tho WCb't. Mr.
Helmes, who is an export mi fuels
ami one of tile liest kllOWII scientists
In the country, toured the entire Wo i
at the Instance of Hie government ?<>
learn just how serious the conditions'
pro.* He returns with the statement)
that in the mining operations pf the
present limine nearly (tie half of the
tola! coal supply is being left under
grouttd; that water, the most valuable
of ill mineral resources, as a :>OUrcn
of power is heilig wasted day after
da>y lind year aller year to the dent
of millions of horse power: und Hint
forest tiros have hurtled more lumber
than has been used in the building of
honu s or in the Industries, "due of
the great national problems is the coil-j
serving of I lie fuel resources," says,
Mr. Holmes. "At the present! rate of
lncrcn.se m consumption, the better,
part of the fuel supply of the country j
Will be gone by the Ollll Of the pl'CbVIlt
century unless the proper .tops are
taken.
Imnortancc of Cheap Fuel.
"The future ahciiflitency of American
Industries will depend lurgcl yon onrj
manufacturers being able to secure
cheap fuel. The value and cost of la-J
bor will never bo reduced in Hie Full
ed ISdtes to what they are in foreign I
countries; but this I let renders- all
the more essential in the struggle for
Industrial ami commercial supremacy,
thin the manufacture!s of this coun?
try he able to obtain fuels supplies
coon per than they are to be lied In
i other countries.
"The world recognizes Americans
as the most wasteful of peoples in
'the utilization of their resources. Cer?
tainly no nation received ??? rich an
inheritance as did Hi eUnttod States
In Its combination of soil and forest
nnd climatic and streun-, and mim ral
resources.
"The nation has literally grown up
in luxury. Out of the very abund?
ance of these resources wo have de?
veloped an Indifference to economy
and the Ihnhlt of waste. W.? have
destroyed our gntne for Il.t hides and
horns; our forests for their tan bark
?or (v pittance of the lumber they
would yield; nnd meanwhile with n
. thoughtless Indifference we have al?
lowed Hie forest fir^s lo burn more
: lumber than we have used in the build
ing of lioines or in the industries.
"Meanwhile through Ihe destruc?
tion of the forest about the sources
of Important streams ami the Improper
cultivation of those sloping lands, Ihe
fertile soil; are warned awav from
the fields where they are needed and
deposited hi the strnenms and har?
bors of Ihe country from which their
continued removal will cost an enor?
mous sum. We are thus gradually
but surely destroying the value of
onr great water remnrces for power
for Irrigation nnd for navigation pur?
poses. This fertile, soil and gen.'al
climate have furnished good enough
for the nation ami to spare; mm i>u
luxurious are the habits developed by I
Ihls over-production of food thnt It
is sometime said we Wiste food enough
to supply another nation as huge as
our own.
Wiater Wasted Every Day.
"Waler the most valuable of all our
mlnoml resources na a source of pow?
er, is being wasted day ?fter <Viy
nnd year altor year after year to tho
exliunl of millions of horse powjer.
As Ihe essential factor in all irrig::
Hon work, it is being wasted by use
to excess in many instances; but on ,i
much larger scale ami to the value
of burnt-Mis pf millions of dollars
It is being allowed to go lo waste
year after year by tint being used at
nil; and in many localities, ihe limit?
ed supply of artesian water available
for Irrigation and other purpose js be?
ing wasted on a considerable seal i
by being allowed to flow continuous?
ly when not needed, or in excess of
actual need.
'Other niiir ml resources are being
wasted on as large a t.folo as Is true
of waler. hut their waste Is even more|
serious a hiatto'r, for the reason that!
the supplies ate not reproduced, as In
the rase of water, hut when once ex-!
houstcd, are i xhuustcd |>orinnnen.tly.|
No better Hill: nation of this fact call]
be found than is seen in the desort-l
ed mining ennips, 'deserted after thol
mine:: hive In come exhausted. In
COnnOctlon with metallurgical proces?
ses there is often a waste of materials,
which ah.u prpyp injurious, such as

in an especial manner concerns the

Hut notwithstanding their vast im?

practica the greatest waste.
Gas, Too, ,1s Goinq.
?Persons now living can recall when
the groat gas wells were seemingly
Inexhaustible in Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia ami Pennsylvania, in many
of these uclds, this gas supply was
wasted In a manner well-nigh crimi?
nal, ami tno exhaustion has boon so
complete that there Is no ground for
believeing mat other supplies of gas
will ho discovered in many of these
special regions.
"Petroleum in the pa si has, in like
manner, been wasted, both in enor?
mous overflows and the hurtling of
material. In the oor'.y days <?f petrol?
eum there was also i.u enormous waste
through tiie fnlluie to save the gaaso
line und other hi i i odiicti . which now
have great value. Here, however, as
in the rase of the metals, the modern
Improved practice is doing much to
lessen mis' enormus Waste, Title
problem is one of special Importance
tu Hie Pacific t'oast Stales, owing lo
the alisehco of adequate coal supplies.
"Coal Is now the world's great luel.
Wor.,1 has been used extensively in the
I ist. especially for domestic purposes.
Gas and petroleum continues to have
an extensive local use, and in power
and light developments, (wnfor will
play an Important part In many por
tiohe of the country. Put the world's
great renters ami Industries of today,
and. as far as wo know, of the future,
must leek to coal as .aeir source of
heat, power nnd light.
"Notwithstanding the recognized Im?
portance of coal. Its mining and use
are subjected to onormom waste. In
the mining opera'ions al tho present
time nearly oiie half pf our total coal
supply is lofl under ?4.011(1, Partly as
pi Ham to support the roof; partly as
coal or interior quality, only the best
purl ol the coal from lb" beds being
r.emqved in many case.-, and partly
due lo the fact Iba- Ii to working out
or lower beds of coal first, frequent
lv breaks and renders Impracllclblo
the subsequent mining of the adjacent
higher coal beds. Of the coal actual?
ly used lor power development, us
ilially not more than five per cent, is
actually converted into light; Ihe
remaining iilney-hlnc and four fifths
per cent, being consumed in tho vari?
ous preliminary formations of energy.
iThls waste Is ai.pili ng, and every
pos. lbV im aus should be adopted for
reducing it to an absolute minimum,
in firdcii that our fuel resources may
suffice for the future as well as for
the present needs id the nation.
Coal Represents Unmeasured Ages.
"In: the plant life of the earth our
coal fields represent vast anas of
vegetable matter, accumulated dining
past pernio:; in the earth's history.

coal. Kvcry foot of the thickness of

Of 'he original vegetation. Of Ihe sum
light and heat our COIll represents
[enormous quantities transformed and
[stored in this jrogolnllon, nnd further
concentrated in the coal, it is tho
earths great storage battery of solar
energy, in time this coal represents
ihe unmeasured iigeos of the past. Jlio
I thousands and .milliciis Of .wars lie

which this solar energy was being
I stored niul concentrated In diffonent
I parts of the oatth's crust. In Ihe
nations welfare it represents tho
basis of the he-it. power and light up
on which the qaUpQs comfort and the
nations Industries depend.
"During the past year the country
.used considerable' more than 400.0011,
i. ti ns of coal, (luring HlO t"li years

and proportional to the countries de?

except as ?c may [lud ways of using
our coal more efficiently. If this lie
criming rain of conilninptton does
routluiiu tlie nil inn will have used Hie
largest part of its coal supply before
the end el the present century. In
loading Hie life of our coala "rur
considering the possibilities of extend?
ing the life of our coal supplies so
as to meet the needs of the future as
a; well as those of the present we
must then tore reckon with the i nn
HllUailCU of these rapidly growing
nerds of Hie country and our possi?
bilities of Success be along tho follow
lug lines:
"Tile coil left In (lie mines as pillars
to support /thd roof.' together with
?hat lefi uml\' I ground because of Iis
bolug inferior In ipiality. will rangr
frohl less than in to more than SO
per cent, of the total, these extreme
figures representing unusual cotidl
thus. Add to these Urn loss arising
from the breaking up of higher beds
of coal owing to the previous removal
of the lower beds tuild the caving III
of the previous strat i, and we have n
lotnl waste which will aggregate but
little If any'less than 50 por cent, of
the possible lotnl 'available supply.
It is believed that an Increasingly
large put of this waste will be found
preventable.
Urgent Need of Inprovcments.
"The small percentage of the heat
? mils in coal that are actually con?
verted into work or light, as stated
above indicate tile urgent need of
Improvement along these lines. The
investigation now being conducted by
the Technologic Itraneh of the United
?States Coleglcal Survey, Indicate the
possibility of increasing those fuel of;
ficioncles by two or three fold, and
Miggosl still greater possibilities
which will soon be tested. Thd future
Is full of promise, but the solution of
these problems calls for extending fur
ther Investigation. These Investlgn
lions should be conducted by the Pod
oral Government for the reason that
the problem Is a national one. und Us
solution is of importance to all the
people in all parts- of the country.
"A- to possible substitute, for com.
there w||| be in Hie near future ;t
larger use of running waters for power
ami light development. There will at
so continue a diminishing develop?
ment of heat and power through 'he
New England, Atlantic, and some of
thd middle Northern slates, there will
he some utilization of the' peal beds
for similar purposes. Alimited future
use of Alcohol made from wood ami
barn products, for heat ami power pur?
poses, is probable, but not certain.
Polroluoin and natural gat- will long
continue as luge local, hut In a mens
uro temporary contributors to the
comforts and Industries of the nation.
And It Is occasionally suggested that
thd heat of th<. sun' may be stored
from dar to day In BUfflcleift q?nutl
ty for continuous power development;
hut the suggestion has. as yot, to"
indefinite n basis to permit of Its ser?

At the present, their early oxhaus
lion is certain. If this- rale of Increase
continues, the better part or the find
supply of tile country will have been
consumed by the end of the present
century.
A Permanent Exhaustion.
"The exhaustion of mlleral resourc?
es Is a permanent exhaustion. One
