Coal Production of North Dakota.

Coal Production Of North Dakota.
The production of Ignite in
North Dakota in 1905, according
to E. w. Parker of the United
States geological survey. was 3O5,-
6S9 short tons, having spot value
Of S451, ,3S2. The production was
1853, Or 81 per cent. less than
that Of 1905, while the value in-
creased S26,6O4 or 6.3 per cent.
North Dakota was the only Rocky
Mountain state in which the pro-
duction of 1906 was less than that
Of 1905.
The number Of men employed in
the Ignite mines of North Dakota
in 1906 was 4SS, working an aver
age Of 2O9 days, as against 626
men, working lS7 days in 1905.
The average production per man
was 1854 tons in 1906. The num-
ber Of mining machines in use in
creased from nine in 1905 to eleven
in 1906, while the machine mined
product increased about the same
in both years-97,035 tons in 1906
against 97,789 tons in 1905. Most
of the mines are operated on the
ten-hour basis.
All of the mineral fuel produced
in North Dakota is Ignite, extern
sive beds of which underlie the
greater part Of the western half of
the state. The Ignite is located
in it's development, for few indi-
vidual beds can be traced or iden-
titled over more than two or three
square miles Of territory. For this
reason careful prospecting with g.
pick along the river bluffs and
with core drill on the upland is es-
sential before development is un-
dertaken. The deposits vary in
thickness from few inches to
thirty-three feet.
According to the reports of the
state geological survey, ninety
seven townships contain in some
parts of their area at least one bed
Of Ignite seven feet or more thick
while about a hundred other town.
ships contain beds from four to
seven feet thick. The Ignite is
generally we'll exposed along such
streams as Big and Little Missouri
Knife. Heart and Mouse rivers.
Mining is carried on to some ex-
tent at most of the towns along the
Northern Pacific railway west of
Mandan, on the Minneapolis, st.
Paul & Sault Ste. Marie railway in
the Mouse river valley and also
north of Bismarck and to small
extent along the Great Northern
railway near Minot and Williston.
