there were coined at the Philadelphia
mint over 92,OOO,OO pieces with a valua-
ton of over s%l3,OOO,0OO. Owing to the

as great AZ that Of last year. The dyes
that were used in working of the above

COAL PRODUCTION.


COAL PRODUCTION.
The extensive coal-fields at Sand Coulee
have been worked to great advantage.
The daily output for about 300 days Of
the year averaged $50 tons, and at pres
ent the company operating the
mines is furnishing in the neighborhood
of 1,2O0 tons daily for the Great North
crn and for consumption all over Mon
tana. The Sand Coulce Coal company
were never better satisfied with their
property and never worked it to better
advantage than at present. The com
pany intend to operate this coal mines at
Arlington this year and already have a
few men at work. They expect to en-
ploy about 80 miners in those mines in
the near future.
The other great coal fields connected
with Great Falls by rail are those at
Lclhhridgc. During the year the Great
Falls u Canada road shipped in round
numbers 10000 tons of coal from the
famous Gait coal mines to this city.
From here il was shipped to all parts Of
the state, tlc great bulk being largely
used in Great Falls, the rest going to
Butte and Helena. Since first intro
dUcrd inlo Montana the Gait coal has
been IN great favor and the demand for
II has steadily increased.
