INCREASED COAl
OUTPUT OF ION.4.
HAwkEYE MINES PRODUCE Gil,
474 TONS MORE THAN IN
PREVIOUS GEAR
WapeI|o County Produces hundred
and Fifty Thousand Tons Less
Monroe County Increases Its Tom
mage by Three Hundred Thousand.

The increase in the coal production
of Iowa mines during the last year
was 211,474 tons, as shown by the am
nual report of the state board of mine
inspectors filed with the governor.
Monroe county increased its output
326,650 tons, but Wapello lost 157, 1926
tons. The total production of the
state for the year was 7O17,4S5 tons,
as compared with 6,sO6,011 in 1905.
In all 582 miners and 259 outside
employees less were employed than in
the year preceding But each miner
dug per cent more coal, and thus
made higher wages. Perhaps the idle
ness of the mines during April was re-
sponsible for no greater increase in,
output.
The mine inspectors believe that
the coal industry of Iowa will continue
to remain in fairly satisfactory condi-
loving the Inspectors statement ofity
ton during the coming year. The fol-
lowing is the inspectors statement of
the product OF coal during the past
year in the coal producing counties:
