ON COAL MINES.
Average Number of Men Employed in
the United States Given
at 518,307.

The average number of men en-
ployed in the coal mines of the United
States during 1902 was 5IS.307, and
the average number of days made by
each man was 1877 for the year. This
was in contrast to the previous year,
men worked PIG days each. OF the

found occupation in the Pennsylvania
anthracite mines and the other 37O,-
166 in the bituminous mines of the
country. The average number of
days worked by each miner in the
anthracite field was 116. the average
number made by each worker in BIZ
luminous mines was $50. These fig
ures We're naturally an increase over
those Of 1907 in the number of men
and the days shown for the bitumi-
nous mines and decrease in the re-
ing 1901, an average number of 49,

ON the other hand only 24o.235 men
were employed in the bituminous

production of coal in 1902. soon to be
