It Is Carefully SizedJeddo-Highland coal comes ou t o f t he g ro un d inmany-s ized lumps, together with dirt an d r oc k a nd

slate. It is then hoisted up t o t he t op o f a breaker,where it is dumped. Th e l a rge r lumps of coal ar ecrushed by rollers an d t he b iggest p iece s of slate an drock ar e removed BY HAND.Th e coal next passes over screens where it is sizedin to the familiar Egg, Stove, Nut, Pe a an d Buckwheat.Then down it goes t h rough sp ira l pickers'which remove flat pieces of slate, an d t hence in to the jigs an dtables where it is separated from other impurities,being constantly washed by a continuous stream ofwater flowing over it.Such careful preparation natural ly results in cleancoal, uniformly graded.
