GERMAN INTERESTS TAKEN BY BRITISH Press despatches yesterday told of the discovery of an immense quantity of coal at Spitzbergen, the island which abounds in min- erals of all kinds directly north of Norway within the polar circle In that country they have a cli- mate which resembles the Uni'd Kingdom as it is kept warm -y the Gulf Stream. The Scottish expedition refer- red to in the despatch was sent out by the Northern Exploration Company. At the last meeting of the company the chairman re- ported as follows: “We have now the most abund- ant evidence of the existence of this mineral, in such quantities and of such quality that if we had to rely on this product alone a great success is absolutely as- sured. Our last advices show that without modern machinery either to get or load the coal, we have obtained (with a very limited number of men) several thousand tons, and stacked it ready for shipment. Given electrical coal cutters, conveyors, wire ropeways and piers, our output of coal need have no practical limit, and when I tell you that the present price of coal «x ship in the northern part of Norway is £6 to £8 per ton, it appears to me and my co- directors that there is room for the energies of a number of Spitz- bergen companies dealing with coal alone. 100,000 Tons in 1918. Considering that Great Britain's share of the world’s reserve of coal is’ comparatively small, we do well to investigate the claims which are being made for Spitz- bergen as a new and fruitful source of supply of coal and other minerals, on the possession of which the industrial life of the nation is completely dependent. That coal, both anthracite and bituminous, abounds there in large seams and of good quality there is no longer room to doubt. Although development is only in its infancy, the output in 1918 Was over 100,000 tons. With coal 3 Modern 7 wei.

The working of the coal seam is so simple indeed that coal can be shipped even now at abou! 7s per ton f.o.b. at Lowe Sound, Spitzbergen, and when electrical culting machinery is installed the cost of production will be still less.
