Necessity is the mother of invention, / and may also come to be the `mother of discovery, at least .- that is the impression of some people who live in the Township of Mulmur, , two miles west of Manseld. Between _ the towns of Shelburne and Allison, ._ pure anthracite coal of the very best quality known has been discovered on_ a farm in the above "township. Private parties have secured an option on the _ farm. It seems strange that our pro- ,` vincial goverment does not seem to ` realize that Ontario must have large deposits of anthracite coal, in view of the fact that natural gas, which is carbon in the gaseous state, is in abun- dance in Essex County, and coal oil, carbon in the liquid state, is in abun- dance in Lambton and Kent Counties. A reasonable inference drawn from the fact of carbon being found in the `gas- eous and liquid state, along the same line of dip, would be that carbon in the solid or mineral state must be located at a higher elevation and along the same line of dip. It seems reasonable, and in accordance with the nature of -thingsasobserved, that in the peculi- arily shaped hills and` valleys of the Township of Mulmur there is circum- stantial evidence sufficient to cause the government of the province to spend 820,000 in drilling and prospecting for the mineral carbon that undoubtedly exists in abundance not far from the surface amongst those hills. The coal crisis ought to cause the people to com- pel the government to act, and that quickly. And, when the coal is located, to absolutely refuse to permit any com- pany to own the mines, but. to lease them and retain control.
