    Henley, Stafford's Improved Method of Making Fuel. My Invention consists in mixing sea coal with brick earth, blue clay, river sand, or deposits of running or stagnant waters, the proportion of coal to be equal to that of either of the other materials, or to be greater or lesser in proportion as the fuel may be required to burn with the greater or lesser rapidity. The foregoing materials to be mixed together like mortar, with an 5 admixture of tar or tar diluted with water, in sufficient quantities to give the materials in question that degree of consistency that will admit of its formation into cakes or balls, of such size and shape as may be considered most conve¬ nient for use, such cakes or balls to be afterwards dried, either by exposure to the open air or by artificial heat. 10 In witness whereof, I, the said Dominick Stafford, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-eighth day of December, One thou¬ sand eight hundred and thirty-three.
