COAL IN MICHIGAN IN 1908.
Statistics Collected by the United States
 Geological Survey.

The total production of coal in Michigan in 1908 was 1,S35,019 short tons, having spot value of S3,322, ,904, according to statistics collected by E. w. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey.
 The output of the coal mines of Michigan in 1908 compared with that of 1907 showed a decrease ot 200, ,S39 short tons, or 9.87 per cent, in quantity, and of S337 ,929, or 9.23 per cent. in value. Notwithstanding this decrease the tonnage reported for 1908 was larger than in any previous year in the history of the State except l907. The coal production of Michigan in 1918 as compared with that of 1906 showed an increase ot 4S8,6S1 short with 1905, when the largest produc tion previous to 1907 was recorded, the increase amounted to 36l, sos short tons, or 9 per cent. It would there fore appear that in Michigan, at least, the coal-mining industry in 1908 was fully normal. The coal trade of the State is largely depend ent on the demand of the manufactur- ing cities along the lake front, and as the manufacturing industries of those cities were seriously influenced by the panic of 1907 md the depressed condition following it, the general feeling at the close of 1908 was that the production for the year would show decrease of 9 to 35 per cent. Complete returns indicate, however, that the decrease in production was about one-third that expected, and even this was partly offset by a de- crease in value that was proportion ately less than the decrease in pro- ductIon.
 Although the output of the mines of Michigan was more than 100000 tons less than in 1907, the number of men employed in its production in- creased from 3,9S2 in 1907 to 4,247 in 1908, the depression in other lines of industry showing its effect in sur plus of labor available for coal min

Arizona EIks VIZ Wear Fine Badges.

According to the manufacturers, the badge which will be worn by the Elks of Arizona at the grand lodge and reunion in Los Angeles in July is the most artistic thing in that line that has ever been turned out by them-
 It consists of two pieces of brass, one suspended below the other. At the very top of the upper piece is the clock which is a feature of all Elks' emblems. To the lett is the Elk's head and opposite the head ot COW. The latter symbolizes the cattle in- dustry of this territory. The mining industry IS represented by a pick and gold pan and the farming interests by numerous punches of grapes and other fruits.
 The most striking feature of the lower section ot the badge is the figure of an Indian in copper. About the redskins feet is cactus, signify ing the thorny road Arizona has traversed toward statehood. In one hand the Indian holds a star, which he is ready to place in one corner of the American flag before him. The letters B. p O. E. are on the four sides of this part of the badge, ignifying the Elks coming from all parts of the territory.
 The badge is distinctly striking nd the prediction is freely made hat it will be the talk of the coun- ry.
 It will be worn by all the territorial 2lks at the reunion and each lodge will also have d distinct badge of its bwn.

Better Rates Promised From Bowie Into
 Globe.

While the meeting of the terri torial railway commission at Phoenix last week did not result in the secur- ing of better freight rates over the Gila Valley railroad, as had been eX- pected, some work was accomplished and more may be expected within the next few weeks, according to Commits sioner George J. Stoneman.
 "Defnite action in the matter of securing a reduction in rates over the Gila Valley and other lines may be ex- pected within the next three weeks, '' said Mir. Stoneman to the Silver Belt of Globe.
 Commissioner Bicknell, who is looking after the traffic end of the work of the commission, has been in vestigating the matter of better freight rates over the Arizona x New Mexico line and the El Paso X South western line, It is probable that he will be in a position to act with the officials of the Randolph lines to the end that better rates may be secured between Globe and Bowie within a short time.
 "A special meeting will probably be held within the next three weeks, at which time further action will be taken.
 "The railroads will be given every opportunity to act with the commits siou in the matter, before any de- cided stand is taken by that body"
