DECREASE IN COAL
OUTPUT OF COLORADO
Geological Survey Makes Re-
port About Our Neighbor
TO East Of Us.

The total production OF coal in Colo
RADIO in 1908. according TO r.. w. Par
ller. of the United States geological sur
vcy, amounted 10 963i,97 short tons
having Il spot value OF s13, 3,5S6, 9SS. a in

1907. Of l.l55. .263 short tons. or 1911 per
cent. i'm quantity and OF 81, 1872. i6l. or
$50 per cent, in value. This Is the sec,
ond time in fifteen years that the coal
production OF the state for any year has
shown decrease as compared with that
of the preceding year.
The total number of men employed In
the coal mines Of Colorado In 1908 was
1893. and the average number of days
worked by each was 2i2: the number OF
men employed in 1907 was 1923. work
ing for an average period OF 25S days.
These figures indicate that the supply
Of labor was greater in 1908 than III the
previous year but that the working time
was materially reduced. The average
production per man for the year was
also reduced, although the daily output
for each man increased. In 1907 the aver
age production for each man employed
was $50 short tons; In 1908 IL was bb3
tons The average production per day
per man was $1S tons in 1908, as COM
pared with 29t tons in 1907.
Most of the larger mines OF Colorado
are operated on the basis of teu-hour
day. In 1908 there were 6l mines. en-
40 mines, employing 5loS men, that
worked eight hours and 3 mines, employ
Ing 63 men: that worked nine hours n
day.
Returns for 1908 show that 21l min
ing machines were In use in that year
as compared with 1Io machines In 1907.
The machine -mined product, however. de-
creased from l.6S9,5l7 tons In 1907 TO
1865, 602 tons in 1a0S. although the pro-
portion of the machine mined product to
the total increased from 1856 to 1882
per cent. Washington machinery has
been installed at two plants in the state.
The total quantity of raw coal washed in
1908 was i39,320 tons, yielding 1885, l23
tons of cleaned coal and 1i3.l9I tons of
refuse. All OF the washed coal was used
for cooking.
Reports from the state coal mine in
spector. Mr.. John D. Jones. show that
6l men were killed and l16 injured in
the coal mines OF the state In 1908. as
1907. OF the non-fatal accidents. 20
were Of serious character and ST OF
the injuries were OF minor Importance,
BY far the larger number both OF deaths
and injuries resulted from falls Of roow
in rooms
According to NJ. r. Campbell of the
geological survey, more than 10000
square miles Of Colorado contain work
able coal beds: 4lSo square miles may
contain workable coal. and 2S2O square
miles contain coal under heavy cover.
II Is estimated that these areas originally
contained 81, 700, 00O, 900 short tons. The
close OF 1905 aggregated l22, 303 300 short
tons: and il IT is assumed that for each
ton OF coal mined one ton was wasted.
this production represents an cNhaus
tion OF 1S3, DO0. 900 TONS or about 0.05 per
cent of the estimated original supply,

1t is stated on what is considered
positive authority that the Brookville
and Mahoning Mahoning railroad is to
be constructed to the Allegheny river
at once.
The contract for the extension of this
road from Brookville to the Allegheny
river at Mahouing, will be let within
the next thirty days and construction
work will be commenced Immediately
thereafter, and pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. 1t is expected the road will
be built in eighteen months.
The most expensive survey has been
selected in order to secure first-class
road with low grade and minimum
OF curvature. The road will be graded
for double track although but single
track will be laid at first, and the
heaviest standard rails will be used.
There will be six tunnels and high fills
between the river and Brookville, thus
making the work both expensive and
slow. The purpose OF the extension
is to reach the coal fields along Ma

While Alahoe Park is very beautiful

little experience of the unpleasant

not spoil the days program of religious
exercises and addresses.
During the week day drills the men

they may also make automobiles. We
