COAL IN WYOMING DISTRICT.

Scranton vies with Wilkes-Barre
in being the heart of the coal land
in the great Wyoming districts, says
the Financial Review.
The Wyoming district is compris-
ed of Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties. Old Luzerne is the first
coal producing county in the entire
anthracite belt by a slight margin,
and Lackawanna is next.
Nothing indicates better the vast
wealth in the soil than the figures
compiled by the Government show
ing the amount of coal mined here
abouts. In 1907, the last statistics
compiled, Lackawanna county pro-
duced total of 19,90S,727 tons.
The local consumption was 3S2,-
730 tons, and that used at the mines
1,57O,532 tons. The balance was
shipped out of the city to points all
over the country.
The total shipments of the entire
region amounted to Cd, 1894, 1000 tons
in 1908, so it can be readily seen
that this locality furnishes a big
percentage Of the country's fuel.
The monetary value of this coal is
stupendous, reckoning an average
of 81 ton.
The production of coal for this
year up to April 1st by the several
big companies operating in the city
and immediate vicinity is as fol-
lows: Lackawanna, 2,33O,993 tons;
1
Erie, 2,030,000 tons. These amounts
are slightly less than for the previ-
Gus year in the same period of time,
and would have been considerably
less had it not been that the COM
panies all had reserve stock in pre-
paration for a possible suspension
incident to the expiration of the
agreement with the mine workers
The falling off is due to the unusu-
ally mild winter and early spring.
Popular interest attaches itself to
the Lackawanna, which has to some
extent always been viewed in the
light of local institution.
Statistics in the office of R. A
Phillips, superintendent of the Lack
awanna's coal department, show just
how great the progress in mining has
been. In 1852, for illustration, the
Lackawanna's production was, in
round numbers, only $4,000 tons;
in 1862 it was 44S,000 tons. The
million mark was reached in 1870
when the production of this com
pany was 100000 tons. In 1882
it was 2,5OO,O00; in 1892 it reached
3,500,000; in 1899 it was 4,500,00(
tons.
In 1900 there was revolution il
production due to the installation
of the washery.

OBITUARY.

The Greek Church Monastery
cemetery at South Canaan received
within its sacred enclosure on Sun
day last the remains of a parsonage
of more than ordinary distinction,
Rt. Rev. Alex S. 10th, pastor of St.
Mary's Greek Church, of Wilkes
Barre, who died on Friday last in
that city of a complication of dis
eases, having expressed dying re-
quest that his body should be so
laid at rest. Arch Priest 10th was
Sc years old and pastor of the
Russian church. He enjoyed a per-
sonal acquaintance with Czar Nicho-
las and was the recipient of gold
en- crown and many autograph let
ters from the emperor. He was
born in Hungary, but received his
theological education in Russia
During the Russian-J apanese war,
Father 10th contributed literally to
the support of the Red Cross work
and as a reward was given a certi-
ficate of honorary membership. On
account of his contributions raised
during the Russian-Japanese conflict,
he won the recognition of the czar,
who sent special embassy to this
country to present Father 10th with
a beautiful gold mitre. This gift
was fittingly celebrated in Wilkes
Barre. He had also received the
orders of the second and third clas-
ses of st. Ann; third and fourth
classes of St. Vladymer and had
been made an arch priest in the
church. Although the rules of his
church permitted him to marry, he
did not avail himself of that privi-
lege.
