Ev- cry prospect Is bright for a steady operation of coal mines through the year No summer prices have been made for coal and there appears to be no unusual efforts being made to get business in order to keep the mines in operation.

Several new mines being opened in this district are beginning to ap- proach that stage that soon they will begin producing coal The coal ship ments are still good, no small amount of the product going to Louisiana, Mobile and other coast points. More men are being given employment in mining coal in Alabama than ever be- fore and many hands are being ac- cepted in the industry daily. Much of the labor being brought to the Birmingham district Is being directed to the coal mines There is positive ly no apprehension on the part of the operators that there is likely to be an over production which Is likely not large reductin in quotation.
