PRODUCTION OF COAL
IN MARYLAND IN 1906
hOre Than Five Million Tons, Valued
At Six and a Half Million Dollars.

The Geological Survey announces
that the coal production of MARYLAND in
1906 amounted to 5,435, 1853 short tons,
having a spot value of $6,474, 1893, ex-
ceeding the production of 1905 by 326, 914
short tons (6.4 per cent and reaching
the highest figure in the history of the
State. The maximum output prior to
1906 was 5,271, 500 short tons, mined in
1902, when the anthracite mines of
Pennsylvania were idle on account of
the great strike. Compared with 1902,
the output for 1906 shows an increase
of little more than 3 per cent.
The coal-producing area is confined
entirely to Allegany and Garrett coun-
ties, in the western part of the State,
and from this area, estimated at $40
square miles, there had been mined up
to the close Of 1906 over 142, 900, 900
short tons of coal. The output has not
varied materially in the last 10 years,
having ranged from a maximum of
I the last year, and averaging 4,S53, 764
short tons for each year of the decade
The restricted area of the field and
the fact that it is already well develop
ed make it improbable that any marked
increase in production will be obtained.
The unusually large tonnage in 1906 was
due to an extra demand created by
shortage in other States. This short
age also resulted in an advance in the
price of Maryland coal of from 81. IA a
ton in 1905 to Sl.l9 in 1906. The total
value increased from S., 831, 760 to &c.
Ala, 794, a gain of SAB, O33, or II per
cent, as compared with an increase of
ga per cent in tonnage. The maxi
mum value was attained in 1903, when,
with a product of 4,S46, l65 tons, the
value amounted to 81, 1879, 784, an aver
age of s1.48 a ton.
The total number of men employed in
the coal mines of Maryland in 1906 was
6438, who worked an average of $50
days, against 5948 man for an average
Of 252 days IN 1905. The average pro-
duction per men in 1906 was S443 tons,
$3.50 tons in 1905, and {. 3S tons in 1906.
Practically all the mines in Maryland
are operated 10 hours a day. Out of a
total of 6438 men employed in the coal
mines of the State, 635S men, in Is
mines, were reported as working 10
hours day. The statistics relating to
the use of mining machines shows that
although the number of machines in use
has increased from 38 in 1904 to AZ in
1908 and to SO in lOO9), the amount of
machine-mined coal decreased from
584, 1913 tons in 1904 to 468, 800 tons in
| 1905 and to 427, 450 tons in 1906.

SEPTEMBER SUNSHINE
i'll Not Be Greatly in Evidence, Says
Peter R. Smith.

Peter R. Smith forecasts the weather
for September as follows:
The indications denote September a
stormy and erratic month in most all
portions of the country in some form of
disturbance. The month is likely to be
attended by many intense storms of
wind, rain, hail, electric showers, and
unpleasantly cool snaps. The Southern
Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the con-
tigious country may be visited by
equatorial storms. The lakes are open
doorways to storms also to the reaction
of storms. Threatening causes and ex-
citing influences are very prominent
within September However, these
forces may be counteracted by causes
which may direct the forces and expend
them in some other way than entirely
in meteorological disturbances, such as
earthquakes, etc.
On or touching the Sd high tempera-
ture will be experienced; clouds will
form and be on transit in the different
sections to the 8th The clouds will be
charged in most places with rain and in
some places with hail, wind, and rain.
On or touching the 10th a return to
storm conditions will be denoted by
black, threatening clouds and vigorous
rains and windstorms. The terrestrial
forces, such as magnetism, become os-
cillatory before the earth's equinox
which adds force to all the other disturb
ing factors. From the 14th to the 23d
much cloudy weather will continue with
many repeating storms in some form
of meteorological disturbance, such as
rain, hail, wind, and electric showers,
will be in transit, interchangeable with
some sunshine. At the close of these
storms the weather will become cool
with northwest air current on passage
A repetition of storm conditions will
return about the Goth, bringing a wave
of warmer weather, followed by an ex-
cited meteorology. September will
most likely sail the ship of weather
conditions clear Of the frost line by at
least eight or more days
