Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over an annual study of synthetic liquid fuel production. Results of the annual study are presented and discussed. This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies on the reserves of coking coal from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The results of the investigations and the different coal beds sampled are presented. This report includes tables, and maps.

From Summary and Conclusions: "The objective of this investigation has been stated above in the Introduction. Studies were made of mining operations in the Athens Basin, Rafina and Oropos districts; the Kimi and Aliveri areas on the island of Euboea; and the Peloponnese in the vicinity of Kalamai. (See fig. 2). Mining practices at mines in these areas are summarized briefly in this report. Samples of lignite were shipped to Bureau of Mines experiment stations at Pittsburgh, Pa., and Golden, Colo., for washability and utilization studies."

From Summary and Conclusions: "This report deals with upgrading to metal-lurgical standards of large reserves of high-sulfur Pittsburgh coal remaining in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia."

From Introduction: "The purpose of this investigation was to separate and identify as many of the principal phenolic compounds produced by the mild hydrogenation of Pittsburgh-bed (Bruceton) coal as possible and to determine with the greatest possible accuracy the proportions in which they are present."

From Forward: "The value of this survey of the carbonizing properties of American coals by a standard method lies in the comparability of the results on different coals. It must recognized that no standard laboratory method of carbonization, even on a large unit, can yield results that exactly duplicate those obtained in ovens and retorts. The commercial results vary with the type of oven or retort. Allowance must be made for such differences in interpreting the BM-AGA test results in terms of commercial plants."
