Kaiping" coal is classified under the
No. 1 Lump-Specially suited for men-of-war, where great heat and durability, ogether with freedom from dust and a minimum of waste, regardless of cost are assured.
It is equal to the best Cardiff coal.
Several of the foreign Navies in North China, particularly the U. S. Navy, se this grade for bunkering, and have repeatedly testified to its excellent steam- mising qualities.
It is also used, with a proportion of dust from the same seams, by the Kiangnan Arsenal at Shanghai as a steel-making coal with excellent results.
No. 2 Lump.—A first-class steam coal, comparing favourably with the best Japanese, Australian or Scotch coals found in the East. It is universally used on
the railways in North China.
Mixed with a proportion of dust coal from the same seams, it makes an excellent bunkering coal for merchant ships, where steady steaming and economical consumption, together with cheapness of price are desiderata. This combination of lump and dust is taken by all the great lines of coasters trading North, such as China Navigation Co., Indo-China S. N. Co., China Merchants S. N. Co., Nord- Deutsche Lloyd and Hamburg-America Line, with the most gratifying results.
No. 3 Lump.-Makes a good class of coal for household consumption. As a bunker coal, mixed with a proportion of dust from the seains which constitute No. 2, it enjoys a considerable demand from the large Shipping Companies, and for steam raising in mills, factories, etc.
Dust Coal also commands a very big market iu meeting the demands of the Chinese for a cheap good fuel for brick-burning, bean-cake factories, distilleries, etc., and for general domestic use.
