GREAT OoKe ANo coal YEAR.


Tremendous Output of Both Expected
in Western Pennsylvania in 1900.
This year will witness the greatest
| .ra in the coke and coal regions Of
|: Western Pennsylvania in their history.
| In the Connellsville coke region more
| new ovens will be built than in any
previous year. and the coke production
wills be Increased fully 20 per cent.
There are now projected and In the
| course of erection more than 1000 new
ovens, which will be put in operation
| by the middle of the coming summer.
| which will run the total of the coke
region up to 1000 ovens. At the be-
| ginning of the present year there We're
| in operation in the region 1S9O4 ovens.
During the past twelve months the
price of coke has nearly doubled, and
the demand to-day greatly exceeds the
production. AT the present price, So,
! the business is most profitable. Two
years ago coke was selling for 81 ton.
| The production of the coke region for
| 1897 was S.50O,000 tons, while during
| the year 1899 9,529,OOO tons was ship
| ped from the Connellsville region. The
| 1897 product was valued at S14.OOO,OOo,
| while that of last year represented a
value of $50, 900. The enlarged ca
| pacity will increase the product for
| 1900 to about 100000 tons, with a
value of nearly $30,OOO,O00.
Just now there is famine in coke
| The famine is not acute because coke
can be had for immediate delivery, but
| only in small quantities. Coke makers
| are just now getting So a ton for fur
mace coke and S3.25 for foundry coke.
Western Pennsylvania coke is now
bringing $3.50 at Cincinnati and $3.50
| at st. Louis. All kinds Of coal have
| greatly advanced in prices, and to day
| there is not an idle mine in all Western
! Pennsylvania. In many cases the
wages of the miners have been ad-
vanced greatly. The coal famine has
induced many large Pittsburg consum-
ers to buy up coal lands, and many new
mines will be opened soon. A large syn
dicate. formed of Pittsburg consumers,
has obtained control of more than
