this industry Is growing rapidly and made
long strides the past year.
The output of coal shows a very decided

mines have been opened; more improve
ments lave been made; more men have
been employed and more freedom from Sc

never 20 safe or their sanitary condition
better. with every indication that the cur
rent year will witness still better conditions
and an increased product
The coal output for the year was 3.sl0,7 S7
tons, as against 2.ss5, 022 tons for 1900, show
ing an increase Of s15, 745 tons. This product
sold at the mine for a. rs. 1sl. compared
with &3.64s.S75 for the previous year-an in
crease in the money value OF the product
of N.os. 20s. or nearly % per cent. The av-
erage price received at the mines per ton
Of coal was H.?t, or three CD cents in ex-
cess Of the average price for the year be-
fore.

the coal the miners used 100. 622 Kegs OF
powder. which cost them $199. 6S4. 80.
Accidents In the mines number 81. of
which Is were fatal and 1s were nonfa.al.
there being 2 fewer accidents this year than
there were last year, although there were
more men employed and a largely increased
tonnage mined. Falls Of roof and coal
caused 70 per cent Of the accidents, powder
explosions Is per cent, mine cars Is per
cent, premature explosions Z per cent, re-
turning too soon on shots 8 per cent and
windy shots Z per cent. Two hundred and
thousand tons were mined for

New York, April 6.-Mr. Andrew Carnegie
to-day expressed his admiration Of the will

trouble about Germany's entering into a

that President Roosevelt and the German

surprised. You see, Mr. Stead knew him
well and I had heard through him some OF
