Huge Brown Coal Deposits

Found In India

May Be 2,000 Million Tons

New Delhi; June 17.

In an obscure village in South India, geolo- gists have discovered what they believe to be the richest deposit of lignite (brown coal) in Asia.

Buried 200 feet under the greyish soil of Neyveli in Madras State lie an estimated 2,000,000,000 tons of this vital industrial fuel.

The quarrying of late from below by the traditional method of underground tunnels WOB ruled out, due to the presence of soft clay overlapping the de- posit. The only way to get at this vast hidden treasure, ene gineers found, was to dig it out through open pits.
