Coal Dust Bricks Plan Aims to Compete in Philadelphia
A syndicate of Philadelphia capitalists organizes the American Anthracite company to build a coal dust briquette factory on the Schuylkill river bank. They plan a 1,800 ton daily capacity using a French method to produce bricks from coal dust, with cost reductions and new chemical treatments. Concerns arise over washery supply, dust handling, and market viability versus established coal products.

Early efforts to utilize calm coal yield limited success
The passage notes Austin Corbin's presidency of Reading companies and his interest in using calm. A briquette factory opened at Mahanoy City, mirroring the earlier Port Richmond plant's lack of success. This occurred years before coal washery advances finally solved the issue of producing smaller coal sizes from culm banks.
