a price which it is hoped Ww... 5, the reach of all consumers. reed ‘The opening of the new winning at “‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAT, it is no less true that, takiag into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the aulvantage, hoth as toe economy and comvenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price,

The General Mining Association (Limited)

regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be “EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the stanparp character of SYDNEY COAL. It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.
