COAL MINING IN
OREGON LAST YEAR.

The total production of coal in Ore
gon in 1907 was 7O,9S1 short tons,
having a spot value Of $166,304, says
the United States geological survey
report.
The Coos bay field is the only pro-
ductive field in Oregon. 1t is situat-
ed in the southwestern part of the
state, in Coos county, and occupies a
total area Of about $50 square miles,
its length north and south being
about 80 miles and its maximum
breadth at the middle about IL miles.
Among the other coal fields that
have been prospected in the state are
the Upper Nehalem field, in Columbia
county; the Lower Nehalem field, in
Clatsop and Tillamook counties; the
Yaqulna field, in Lincoln county; the
Eckley and Shasta Costa fields, in
Curry county; the Eden field, in Coos
county. and the Rogue river valley
field, in Jackson county-all west of
the Cascade range. None Of these
fields have been developed to the
point of production.
Another field lies in the basin Of
John Day river, east of the Cascade
range, but little is known concerning
1t. All the fields west of the range,
except the Coos bay, are of rather
small area, the largest being the Up
per Nehalem, which has an area Of
less than 20 square miles.
The coal of all these fields is lig-
nitic. Its transportation is confined
exclusively to Coos bay and the Pa
cific ocean, and San Francisco is the
principal market. The Coos bay field
is divided by its structure into six
portions-four basins and two arches.
The basins are known as the Newport,
the Beaver Slough, the Coquille and
the South Slough, and are separated
by Westport and Pulaski arches.
As practically all of the product
from Coos bay has been shipped by
water to San Francisco, the substitu-
tion of oil for coal in most of the
manufacturing industries of that city
has cut off a considerable portion of
the market for this coal. The effect
on Oregon's production is shown in
decrease from 109,611 tons in 1906
to 1871 in 1906 and to 7O,9O1 in
1907. The decrease in value of the
1907 product was even more pro-
nounced, for while the production.l
showed a decrease or $3.50 tons, or
1927 per cent, the value declined
S46,OS4, or 21.6S per cent. The av-
erage price per ton declined from
$2.66 in 1906 to $2.S4 in 1907.

raise this amount. and as much more a.

what they need than it will for the Re
