IOWA COAL MINES PRODUCE
LARGE OUTPUT OF BLACK
DIAMOND.
Report Of State Mine Inspectors Cover
ing the Biennial Period Ending June
80 Shows 100000 Tons Of Coal Pro-
duced During Twelve Months.

The output of coal from Iowa mines
for the fiscal year 1903 was more than
100000 tons. This fact is brought
out in the report of the state mine in
specrors covering the biennial period
ending June 80 The exact total out
put for the year was 6,1S5,734 tons,
larger than any previous year, and ex-
ceeded 1902 by nearly 100000 tons.
The output in 1902 was 5,514, 206. The
report of the inspectors to the COVER
nor has just come from the hands of
the state printer and was made public
today. 1t shows that the coal mining
industry of the state made greater
progress during the past two years
than in like period Of time since the
commencement of mining in Iowa.
A Prosperous Year.
The year 1903 has been especially
prosperous, and this Notwithstanding
the fact that the number of mines be-
ing worked has been reduced. In 1902
there were IN operation 334 mines,
while in 1903 the number had fallen to
313, but the total output had increased.
There has been slight decrease in
the number of miners employed in the
state, but the total number working
at the mines has increased from 1902
to 1892.
Monroe County Leads.
During 1908 mines were operated in
twenty-three counties, and the largest
yield was found in Monroe county, as
has been the case for number of
years. The output of Monroe mines
was 1,600,14S tons, while the smallest
yield for the year was in Davis county,
and was but 5000 tons. The report
shows that during the year 1902 there
were 55 fatal and 70 serious accidents
in the mines. The exceedingly large
number of fatal accidents were due
largely, it is stated, to number OF
disastrous mine explosions which oc-

WRECK DELAYED TRAINS.
Ten Fertilizer Filled Freight Cars

Ten Fertilizer Filled Freight Cars
Blocked A. c. l.. Near Yemnsee.
The Atlantic Coast Line schedule
was deranged for several hours yester-
day as the result of a wrecked train
of some ten cars of fertilizer, which &C.
Cured at Blake's Switch. some miles
beyond Yemassee sometime after mid
night. A wrecking car was sent out
from Charleston and a tool car from
Savannah, but it took much time to
clear the track.
Train No. %. which was due in Sa-
vannah at 3 o'clock a. M. did not get
in until 1920. She could not get by
the wreck, and so when No. rs. north
bound had reached the Savannah side
of the blockade. the mail and passen-
gers of the two were transferred. and
the train that left this city as No. IS
was soon speeding back as 49, and vice
versa in the case of the regular %.
Other southbound trains that were
delayed were No. 81, the New York and
Florida Limited. which arrived at 34O
p. M. and No. IS, which got in the same
time. The wreck was cleared up in
the course of the afternoon, so that
everything is now on schedule.
