HIS Honour the Superintendent directs
the publication of the following Report
on the West Coast coal, for general informa-
tion.
ALFRED DOMETT,
Provincial Secretary.
To his Honour the SUPERINTENDENT, Nelson.
Sir,—In accordance with your request I have
examined the Coals from the West Coast
which you forwarded to me for analysis. I
now beg to communicate the result. I may
here state that the opinion which I gave you
on the 10th instant, from my first cursory
test, is now verified by my more recent inves-
tigation, which has been carefully conducted
under various methods. The results of three
of these I submit, with comparisons, in ac-
cordance with the respective modus ope-
randi:—
| No. 1. | West Coast. | Sydney. |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon | 74·26 | 74·13 |
| Hydrogen | . | . |
| Nitrogen | 25·74 | 25·87 |
| Oxygen | . | . |
| 100·00 | 100·00 |
| No. 2. | Volatile Products. | Coke. | Incombustible Ash. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 parts. | West Coast | 234 | 766 |
| Sydney | 247 | 753 |
| No. 3. | Coals. | Water. | Reduced to ozs. grs. |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Coast | 10 | 20 | 9 14 |
| Sydney | 10 | 20 | 9 8 |
The West Coast Coals burn with a clear
flame, and run together in one mass when
thoroughly heated, and produce very little
residue.
The accompanying parcels are cinder, coke,
and ash.
I cannot help congratulating you and my
fellow-settlers on this occasion upon having at
your command a commodity that is essentially
necessary for our domestic comforts, for our
manufactures as the colony advances, and for
exportation.
I only trust that sufficient quantities may
be found of a similar quality (although the
samples are from the surface); and it will
inevitably at no remote period find its way to
our market, and be a source of incalculable
good to our community.
I am, &c.,
J. W. TATTON.
