COAL OUTPUT INCREASES.
Big Increase CT Product N 1895 Shown
by Governments fHp3gs.

Washington The geological survey
has made public statistics on the pro-
duction of coal in the United States in
1905. From these It appears that both
in quantity and value the production
surpassed all previous records in this
country. The output amounted to
392,919,341 short tons, which had a
value at the mines of $476, 756, 1858.
Compared with 1904 the output in
1905 exhibits an increase of Al, 0 ,943
short tons, or Ill per cent. in quantity
and of $S2,3S5,942 or 10 per cent. in
value.
OF the total production of 1905, co.
339,152 long tons, equivalent to H.
699,S5O short tons, were Pennsylvania
anthracite, with a value at the mines
of Sal, $40 900. The total production
of bituminous coal and Ignite was
315, ,491 short tons, valued at 1894,
SI7,963. The production of anthracite
coal in Pennsylvania for 1905 was 4,
O2O,662 long tons, or 4,5O3,151 short
tons, more than that of 1904, while
the increase in the production of bi,
luminous coal and Ignite was $685.
$50 short tons. ,
A portion Of these increases in both
anthracite and bituminous productions
was due to the efforts Of operating
companies to provide a supply of fuel
in anticipation of a strike in April,
1906.
The total production of this country
last year was nearly 50 per cent.
larger than that of Great Britain,
which until 1899 was the leading coal.
producing country of the world.
The total value of the stone pro-
duced in the United States during
1905, according to a forthcoming re-
port, was $63, 79S, 74S. The correspond
ing value for 1904 was SOS, 765, 715.
The increase was caused by more
activity in the building trades.
The production of coke in the Unit
ed States during 1905 surpassed all
previous records IN the history of
cokemaking in this country. The total
output of coke In the United States
last year amounted to 32,231,129 short
tons. against 23,661,166 short tons in
1904.

"Nick" Saved by Wife.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. SIT was said
here today that the returns show that

votes that he himself could not have
secured. She is now the happiest wo-
man in Ohio in consequence.

Below The Republican gives the re-
precincts for which returns have been

Bath still leads Sheriff Reals by TWEEN
ty-eight votes, and in addition to these
Mr.. Bath states that he has figures
from three other precincts which in
crease his lead to forty-four.
Mr.. Jacobs, the candidate for treas
urer has reduced his oponent's lead to

four votes of mis- opponent, Mr.. Frazer.

cratic leads can be overcome, although
there is a bare possibility that Messrs.

The returns are coming in very slow
