SMOKELESS FUEL. To Colliery Owners, Power Users, Municipalities, &c. THE ET1COAL SYNDICATE is now pre= pared to negotiate for the erection of plants for the production of smokeless fuel for domestic or industrial use, upon the basis of guaranteed results. Semi=coking coals, washery residues and numerous coals not usable under coke oven practice can be profitably carbonized. Under the process there is an available surplus of high power gases, while the benzol yields from both gases and tar, are unusually large.
