The Coal Industry in 1907.

A production OF between 450, 900, 900
and AGO 900, 900 short tons OF coal In the
United States in 1907 is indicated by
the returns received thus far by the
United States Geological Survey, or an
increase of about ten per cent over the
record breaking output of 1906.
The most notable increase was made
In the production of Pennsylvania an
thracite, in which gain of 20 per cent
was recorded, If the shipments reported
by the Bureau of Anthracite Coal Sta
tistics may be accepted as indicative of
the total productions; and as the ship
ments amounted to more than So per
cent of the total production, such an
assumption is not unreasonable. The
shipments of anthracite in 1908 amount
ed to 81 109,393 long tons, as against
55 ,696, 500 long tons In 1906 This
would indicate total production for
the year OF approximately 1896, 900
long tons, or about S5, $40, 900 short tons.
The production of bituminous coal
cannct be estimated as closely as that
of anthracite, for there is no such re-
liable method of arriving at the total;
but letters received by the survey from
number of the larger operators and
from state officials indicate that the out
put of bituminous coal in 1907 exceeded
that of the previous year by to 10 per
cent. The increases were rather un-
evenly distributed and were influenced
by several causes. In the eastern states
where large quantities of bituminous
coal are used In coke making and foi
other industrial purposes, the trade
felt heavily the financial stress of the
last three months of the year, and 10
cally this effect was so pronounced thai
increases recorded during the first nine
months were to large extent wiped
out. Had it not been for this disturb
ance in financial circles the production
Of bituminous coal in 1907 would prop
ably have shown an increase almos,
comparable with the gain in anthracite
production. 1t is almost certain that
the increase would have amounted tC
about Is per cent, total output being
between 390,000,000 and 100000, ,OOC
tons. AS it is, the output will probably
be about 25,000,000 tons short of that
figure.

Scheafnocker for Treasurer,

Grant Scheafnocker, present sheriff
Of Jefferson county, who is now a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for county treasurer Is a strong
and popular candidate and will get a
large vote at the primary election in
April Mr.. Scheafnocker, who was
plumber for the Oil City Fuel Supply
Co. at Reynoldsville when he was
nominated and elected three years ago
for sheriff, made his canvas at that time
as laboring man, and was not we'll
known throughout the county at the
beginning of the campaign, but his
position as sheriff gives him an ad-
vantage in this campaign because he
is so we'll known over the county. He
has been so obliging and courteous, and
has SO ably and carefully conducted the
affairs of the county during his ad-
ministration as sheriff, that he has won
the admiration and good will of a
large number of voters who will stand
by him during this contest and will
vote for him April II. Mr.. Scheaf-
nocker would make an excellent treas
urer of Jefferson county If nominated
and elected.

HENRIETTA CRoSMAN.
At Jefferson Theatre, Punxsutawney, on
Thursday evening, February aoth.

In "The New Mrs. Loring," described
as a comedy, pure and simple, there
will be found one Of the most human
stories ever modified for the theatre.
In its gradual development the author
has dared much by relating most of
the truth connected with the life of
a prominent American. The real de-
nouement would hardly convey belief
to the skeptics among the theatre going
public, so the author has taken that
theatrical license of ending her play
with fiction. Even then the story is
said to compel interest until the final
curtain. A special trolley has been
chartered to return to Reynoldsville
after the performance. Call at Nation
al Hotel for tickets.

Robert S. Fulton, a ranch
|er living near Harrington.
Wash. ffty-two miles south
west Of Spokane. reports one
of the most remarkable phe-
nomena that has ever mysti-
fed the people Of Lincoln
county in the discovery Of
Swamp Lake, which is now
as dark as night twenty-four
hours Of the day, and one day
after another. The air is per-
fecty dry. but from 10 to IS
degrees cooler than in the
sunshine. Fulton recently
traveledwith a two-horse team
along the shore Of the lake
and was in utter darkness for
more than three-quarters of a
mile. He thought it was a
fog, and, as the horses did not
take fright, he did not become
alarmed, but his little daugk-
ter was over-awed and cried
loudly. The darkness covers
thelake, whichis a vastswamp.
and extends from 80 to 100
feet out from the shore.
Many theories have been adj
vanced by students of natural
phenomena and experts, but
the majority Of people who
visited the lake, returned nom
plused and mystifed. ALI
the natural conditions appear
to be normal. except that it is
dark, and there is light all
around.
