In tlie noith-w\stein part cf the couiiliy Ix-'twt^cii Nyitrabánya and 

 Piivigye we find furthei 300 millión lons of biown-coal. The surroundings 

 uf Tatabánya and Felső- Galla show deposits with 200 millión tcns of excel- 

 lent coal. Fourth in size are the coal deposits of the iS'yjó-valley in the 

 County iio sod with 160 millión tons and fifth Salgótarján with 65 mii- 

 hon tons. 



(X\v biow7i-coal produetion ahnost covered our wants of this fuel 

 havng produced in the last noiiiial year 88 milli(,ai q, so ihat we had 

 to import but ^ millicn q. 



Our lignité stocks repnsení 7% of tbc totnl coal supply and are 

 largely to be found in Croatia Sclavonia and in the Szekler districts. 



If we totál up our brown coal and lignité stocks we find 

 that from 1765 to 1910 Hangaiy produced 174.880,923 tons in a 

 A'alue of 1,365,577,308 kronen. If we add the value of the produetion 

 fíom 1910 to 1918 that are 60 millión tons, we should say that 

 Hungary has hitherto produced at !east one and a half milliaid kionen 

 worth of coal. 



The totál slock of mintral coal which we may hope to get fiom 

 Hungárián soil are 1.717.707^418 tons, which re ckoned at the minimai 

 prewar piice (>f 10 kronen (1 kr jX'r q), represenis a national fund of more 

 than 17 milliards in our coallayers. 



TI. Pe,)t-bogs are to be found n)ostly in the Counties Mosons 

 Zala and Somogy, that is to say, near the lakes Fertő and >)alaton, 

 alsó in the County Szatmár, Árva und Csík. In the 150,000 luctars of 

 moorland in Hungary we find neerly 1 ^milliárd m*of peat which quantity 

 orresponds to about 300 millión tons of beating matéria! of 4000 calories. 

 If we waluc this fuel only 5 kron-m per ton, our p<^at-bogs are the least 

 1 1/2 milliárd kronen worth. 



III. The na t ural gas and especially that occuring in Transyl- 

 vania, repiesents an immense value. The gaswells bored up till the pre- 

 sent give 698.000,000 m3 of gas, corr es ponding -to 860,000 tons of first 

 rate mineral coal and are capable of supplying Yn t>f Hungaiys coal 

 requirements. American and Hungárián geologists valued the Transyl- 

 vaniannatural gas at 17 to 72 milliárd ni^. If w(^ accept the lower figare, 

 these 17 milliárd m^ icpresent 100.000,000 tons of coal of 6000 calories 

 (British and Vorcign General Sf^curities and ínvestment Trust Limited in 

 London). Tlu- Transylvanian natural gas having thus a c<)rresix)nding 

 value to 100 inillion tons of coal and its appioxiniate value will \m' one 

 milliárd kronen. 



Illa. We shall not refer here to our p e t r o h' u m although the 

 wells at Izaszacsaland Dragomórfalva have produced souif tlxiasand q of it
