The working of coal In China dates

from a very ancient period. The earliest notice 1e by the celebrated traveler. Marco Polo, toward the close of the thirteenth century. The laborious researches of Baron von Richthofen leave no doubt that there are large deposits of coal. These vast resource* are not utilised by the Chinese, owing to their unsklllfulness in mining

and to the absence of roads.
