MISUNDERSTANDING OUTPUT.
Indiana Coal Mines Produce More
Fuel than Ever Before.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. THE out
put of coal in the Indiana field the first
three days of this week was larger than
ever before in the same number of DAYS.
The full complement of 1900 men at the
mines was more generally at work than
at any time since that many men have been
engaged In the industry in the State, and it
is only since last fall that so many men
have been employed. The holiday vacation,
which considerable number of
miners took over Christmas and
New Years and until the first
day of this week permitted an accu-
mutation OF cars at the mines so that there
car shortage. The railroad companies also
have been better fixed for motive power
since the rush Of holiday mercantile traffic.
At several mines which have direct railroad
connection with Chicago, where So per cent
of the Indiana bituminous coal and nearly
is sold. have agents on the road to get more
miners. In some other fields which are not
on Chicago lines there is also a shortage
of men, such for instance as the Jackson
Hill Company, Sullivan county, in which
Crawford Fairbanks is Interested
Notwithstanding the general complaint OF
shortage of coal in December, Indiana's
output will be found, when the reports are
all in, TO have been from 10 10 Is per cent
greater than ever before in one month. The
prospect now Is for still larger output in
January, and as many persons have found
that they can use soft coal instead of
anthracite for domestic use, the demand for
pected TO be normally larger than here
tofore.
