1897 Excerpt: ...erratic. The year of greatest production was ISO0,
when the quantity of coal produced was 26,896 tons. During 1905 the
production only amounted to 1,557 tons valued at $2,336, averaging
$1.50 per ton. As compared with the production of 7,000 tons valued
at $8,820 in 1904, this is a decrease of 5,443 tons in quantity and

which peat is adapted, the more important one being as a fuel,
usually in the form of briquettes. It is found in swamps, marshes
and bogs, where the drainage is hindered sufficiently to permit of
vegetable growth. This accumulates and slowly decays under water,
becoming constantly deeper. As examined, a peat deposit will
usually show on top a layer of living vegetable matter; underneath
this a mixture of partly decayed plants still showing well-defined
fiber; and below this the spongy to black peat in which there may
be a total absence of any fiber. Swamps and marshes in which peat
occurs may be either freshwater swamps or marine swamps and
marshes, and both these types are abundant in what is known as the
