Hut the figures mark the steady advance in coal production In section or the country which in that particular has hardly been scratched The past twelve months, though, have been notable for movements. especially in a wide terri tory embracing parts of Virginia, West Virginia Kentucky, Tennessee and Ala bama. designed to bring into the in dustrial market vast stores of fuel Typical of these are the operations EcenterIng about Jellico, on the border of Tennessee and Kentucky Special correspondence from there in the Man ufactnrers Record says,
 "on either side Of the Kentucky Tennessee line some vast coal develop ments are now under way and an im- mense coal tonnage is being gotten out. The building of new railroads has brought coal fields in touch with de- Evelopment forces and about twenty five new mining operations have been started during the past year On the Kentucky side in Whitley county the Bird's-eye Railroad has been construc-
 ted seven miles into the coal fields and the building of the Louisville and Nashville extension from this city to Knoxville opened vast coal fields on the Tennessee side. The construction of twelve-mile railroad up the Clear Fork of Cumberland river has brought an extensive field in touch with de- velopment, several important mines have been opened and shipments have already assumed large proportions
 Other openings will be made during the coming year. Another railroad exten- sion Is now under construction from
 southeastern Kentucky to Jellieo This 1 is the Cumberland railroad which will
 extend thirty-six miles through rich
 coal fields Ten miles are complete and in operation, and a large force of men l is engaged in grading. track-layfDg
 and boring tunnels for the remaining ' distance. Five operations have been
 started along that line"

Three Companies VIII Cease Writing
 Mutual Policies.
 New York, Dec. 21-Announcement was made yesterday that three insur- ance companies, the Washington Life the Prevalent Savings Life and the United States Life. which have been op- erating in part on a mutual plan. will write only participating insurance after January 1.
 The new insurance law forbids an in- surance company, after the first of the year, to write both participating and participating insurance. It must make a choice therefore between plans
 Their decision. therefore. to adopt the non participating plan exclusively, has had the effect of taking the three com panies out of the competition of annuaI dividend business and putting them in a olas by themselves ds representing an entire distinct from of insurance.
