production of Kansas is the subject
of report for 1905, by .. w. Parker
to the United States Geological Sur
vey. Other states produce more coal
than Kansas does, but no state has
made greater increase of output.
In 1905 Kansas produced 6,4G9,329
tons Of coal, worth on the spot
$9,410,G32 This was an increase
since 1896 of nearly 1875 per cent. To
mine this production in 1905 12,O06
men were employed an average OF
212 days. The average production
per man was 1888 tons and the aver
age daily production per man was
2.54 tons. OF course, this includes
all the men employed in all the
mines of the state, and since, in new
or undeveloped coal territory, the
mining is done. in desultory way
and by inexperienced men, the daily
average per man here stated Is not
2 fair estimate of the full earnings
of the miners. For the coal miners
of Kansas, with few exceptions. be-
long to the United Mine Workers Of
America and are workmen of the
highest order of intelligence and
skill.
