WEST
VIRGINIA
THE THIRD STATE IN THE UNION
IN THE PRODUCTION OF COAL.
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION TONS THE
ESTIMATED OUTPUT FOR THE
YEAR OF 1900.
Soft Coal Output of the Country Has
More Than Doubled in the
Past Ten Years.

Anything on the coal trade Of the
world i interesting to West virginiaus.
inasmuch as this state has the largest
coal area Of any in the United States,
and more than the combined area OF
several European nations. Mr.. Il. E.
Saward, in the Manufacturers Record.
OF Baltimore, in bis review of the past
year in the coal trade, asserts that it l.
remarkable fact in the history Of the
industry that in spite of the short sup
ply Of hard coal during the past year.
the tonnage was the greatest which has
ever been recorded; that it is far and
away beyond that Of any other country.
And 50 our bitumnous trade is grow
ing at tremendous pace. We have
districts in 4 single state which are do
ng rs much as some of the smaller
states. We have operations which run
up into Tie millions of tons per anum.
There are concerns engaged in the soft
coal trade whose tonnage far and away
exceeds that of any single anthracite
company, even in the palmy days OF
that trade.
The astonishing fact IS shown that
The United States output IS beyond that
Il Great Britain: that Pennsylvania viii
do rs much as MI the bituminous coal
mines Of Germany, while West Virginia
does a. much as Belgium, and Illinois
Is much As France.
il is marvellous to the greatest de.
cree. and even to one who has been con
nected with the trade for any length Of
time the returns for 1902 must come a.
surprise, for we are all so busy look
ing after our own particular business
that II j, only when these trade statis-
ties in their entirety are rounded up
that one can grasp the situation as it
really is. Soft coal output in this coun'
try has doubled in ten years. so that
the tonnage d that variety Of fuel alone
Tor last year amounted TO the enormous
total Of 25i,oOoOOO tons.
The United States easily holds the
primacy for coal production in 1902,
with an accredited output OF 295,OoN,oOo
tons. Great Britain comes next with
227 100000 tons, with Germany and
France following. In the matter OF pro-
duction in this country West Virginia
stands third. giving Illinois a strong
chase for second place. With regard te
operations in this state, Mr.. Saward
says:
THE estimate of Nine Inspector Paul
for last year was 100000 tons, and
this might have been greater but for
the interruption due to the strikes at
mines along the New river and the
'Eanawha. In all the other districts
there was some trouble, but in spite
Of 1t the output increased. and about

less than the preceding year, by reason
Of the strike. As three Of the railroads
have selling agencies for coal, and the
Weston interest in the upper district is
q large one, it can readily be seen that
in this state also there is what is called
concentration to a most determined de-
gree. Wages vary in the several dis
tricts, but on the whole the men are
contented, and the nate is remunerative
to the workmcn. This makes it difficult
for the unions to gain much of a foot
hold in any of the districts. As showing
the fairness with which employees are
treated, it may be noted that in all the
districts the operators have voluntarily
increased the rate Of pay this year. in
some instances from January l, and in
others from April II

OLD JEWELLERY IN FASHION.
Lucky the Girl Whose Mother Has
Kept the Ornaments of Long Ago.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The revival of old-fasnioned jewelry is
so great as to make women mourn for
any heirlooms that they have ever part
with. A heart-shaped pendant of Whit
by jet, bought the otler day by Mrs. II.
o. stone Jr., Is the facsimile of those
worn thirty years ago. and an importer OF
this kind of jewelry says that 1t Is one OF
the standard shapes in jet, of which there
are few on account of the difficulties of
working the material. AS he says they
have been making them in Whitby ever
since the Romans first visited England
and sent them home for earrings, IT Is
pretty certain that nothing in jewelry
box is too old fashioned to come back
again.
The cross is also Jet perennial, and
crosses of all kinds become fashionable
every time there is Jet epoch.
Whether it was the black beads or the
popularity of the ecclesiastical things
that started the fashion lately, II is GER
tain that they have been supplied in
most cases from the old jewel box. There
are hardly any to be found even now in
the jewelry stores except the little ones
of plain gold and silver which are always
given as confrma ton presents For once.
instead of setting the fashion in such
things, the ieweler seems to have been
taken unawares, and is only regretting
that he cannot supply the demand, which
has had new impetus since "Du Barry
and the cross worn by Mrs. Garter

been encroached upon, and that Of the
