State Mine Inspector Reports Har'
mony Between Operators
and Miners Has Made
Steady Work.
LARGEST MINES IN STATE
From the Courier ournall

A report showing the extent OF
the coal mining operations in
Kentucky as compared with pre-
yious years has been prepared
for the Courier-Journal by Mr.. g.
W. Stone, of Lexington, State in
spector of Mines.
The report shows a large in
crease in the amount Of ,oal pro-
duced in 1900 over other years,
and in full is az follows:
LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. 6, 19Ol.-As
1 have not been able to get complete
returns from all the commercial coal
mines of the State for the year just
closed, it will be impossible to COM
pNste my annual report for some
weeks; but this same difficulty oc-
ours annually, and the report of this
Office will be ready as soon as in
former years.
For the information OF the public,
and especially those most interested
in this great and fast-growing indus
try of our State, desire to state
through your columns that the coal
production OF the State for 1900 is by
far the greatest in its history. How
ever, enough reports have been re-
ceived to indicate a certainty of over
five million tons. A comparison OF
the tonnage of each year since 1891
will show it's rapid increase in more
recert years and give better idea
of it's vast Importance to every trade
interest in the commonwealth, as
well as to the individual homes OF
the people. And it should be re-
membered that the present output is
not the limit of the full capacity OF
the mines now in operation, as their
extent and equipments will justify a
still greater output in the years to
come, IL favorable trade conditions
shall continue; besides the possibil-
tiles of our great coal fields, lying all
along our eastern and southeastern
borders, and in what is known as our
western field, are immense and al
most incredible, as the number OF
productive mines and facilities for
fast mining can be greatly multi
piled, and the developments of this
great Kentucky mineral and source
Of wealth will no doubt be phenom-
email in the near future. However,
much depends upon markets and
transportation and harmony between
the capital and labor employed.
The following shows the tonnage
for the years named:

Among those women who have
come into recent note by careful
management Of great wealth, is
Miss Helen Miller Gould, a
daughter of Jay Gould, and sis
ter-in-law of the extravagant
Count de Castellane. Miss
Gould's work for the soldiers and
sailors of the Spanish War is still
fresh in the memory. Much that
is unfamiliar regarding her gifts
and her methods of giving is told
by Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton in the
March Delineator. Miss Gould
is one who dislikes notoriety and,
therefore, one whose gifts often
go unrecorded.

This county Is specially noted for
its splendidly equipped mines; for
the harmony between the operators
and the employees, which has made
steady work; also for the largest pro-
ducing company in the State-the
st. Bernard Coal Company, at Earl
ington; the output of its seven mines
in 1900 being S72, 1872 tons, which is an
increase of 1882 tons over its 1899
output. This county is also specially
noted for the largest producing mine
in the State. the Reinecke Coal Com
pany, which made the following pro-
duction for the two years past:

This mine is a marvel in its equip
ments and production, and its fur
ture prospects. 1t is a shaft 300 feet
deep. Its main entry extends from
the bottom of the shaft mile or
mole eastward, and there are num-
erous cross entries reaching out right
and left TO great distance. These
entries connect, of course, with the
working rooms where tho coal II
produced, ard on these entries T.
constructed an underground haul
way, which in durability will COM
pare favorably with many of the
railroads of the State, the several
entries making a total of about four
and one-half miles of 10 pound steel
rail track, laid on hewn white-oak
ties, and over which is run l2-ton
electric motor having capacity OF
1000 tons daily. This motor reach
es out to all parts of the mine, and
brings in great loads of its black,
rich freight to the bottom of the
shaft, where it is quickly hoisted to
the surface and dumped into the
railroad cars and transported to vari-
Gus markets in the country.
To give more vivid idea of the
vastness OF this mine, note that its
main entry, much of the way, is SO
twidea and high as to admit of'the
driving of eight horses abreast by a
high-seated coachman.
The coke production of the year,
as compared to 1899, Ia as follows:
loSS-Ions. ................... .65,5SC
1900. ................... ,974
The fatal accident record of the
year increased from seven in 1899 to
seventeen in 1900, but all of the sew
enteen were the result of mere mine
operations, and none of them were
from gas explosions or defective ma
chinery, or from falls of top on the
mine entries or haulways.

The Chinese held an apparently impreE-

with six hundred infantry and two
