— Miners working- at n. coal mine in tho Cascade Mountains of Canada do not descend a shaft, but have to climb up a mountain to a height of nearly a mile. The mine is rich in coal, which occurs in many scams, and five of these are now being worked at three different levels, tho highest being- s£44ft above sea-level. The high altitude makes tho means of approach a big item in expense, but it also makes tho cost of transporting the coal corre spondingly low, as each loaded truck runs down the incline from coal seam to groundlevel under its own weight, and at the same time pulls up an emptv truck on the other side by a cable. The coal obtained is anthracite, and this is the only anthracite located so far among the vast stores of coal in Canada. The mine has an average yield of 1000 tons a day. — Hon; is a bridge for you—the longest bridge in tho world. It is in China, ex. tends for five and a-quarter miles over an n.rm of the Yellow Sea, and is supported by 300 stone arches.
