THE COAL MINES 4
OF KENTUCKY.
Kentucky Digs Coal 80 Years;
Just a NibbIe.
EXHAUSTION SINCE 1929
BUT 2 PER CENT ORIGINAL SUPPLY.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The
total production of coal in Ken
lucky in 1908, according to E.
w. Parker of the United States
Geological Survey, was O,246,-
558 short tones, with spot val
ne of $10,S17, 1852,
Bell, Johnson, Lee, Pike and
Whitley counties showed sub
stantial increases.
The total production in East
ern counties showed a decrease
of IL, 294 short tons, while in the
Western counties the production
fell off 495, 277 short tons. The
total decrease for the State
amounted, therefore, to 500, ST.
short tons. The value decreased
81 ,087, 1916, or 9.54 per cent. The
average price per ton declined
from $1.06 to $101.
The year 1908 was the first IN
more than a decade in which the
coal production of Kentucky was
less than in the preceding year,
the output having shown steady
increase from 1896 to 1907 The
production of 1908 exceeded that
of 1906 by nearly 100000 tons.
The coal mines of Kentucky
during 1908 gave employment to
16, 1896 men, a slight increase
over 1907. The average number
of working days decreased, how
ever, from 2l0 in 1907 to 1856 in
1908.
The steady Improvement in
the productive capacity per
employee for each day worked
has been due in a large degree
to the increased use of coal min
ing machinery, Kentucky being
one of the most progressive
Statas in this respect. In 1908
the number of mining machines
in use was 30S; in 1908 it was
I
759. The machine mined pro-
duct increased from 2,S43, S05
short tons in 1908 to 5,252, 1853
short tons in 1908, 51.27 per
cent of the total output, Ohio
Is the only other coal producing
state whose percentage Of ma
chine mined coal to the toal ex-
ceeds that CT Kentucky.
From the best information
OBJ tainable it seems that the coal
production of Kentucky from
1899 to 1886 ranged from 20o0 to
5000 tons a year. The United
States Census of 1910 gives the
total production for the State at
%, 527 short tons.
According to the estimates of
M. r. Campbell of the Geological
Survey, the original coal supply
in the State when mining first
began was 1O4, 100000 short
tons, 81, 1877, 100000 tons in the
Eastern Kentucky region and
SO, 24l, 100000 tons in the coal
areas of the Western part of the
State. From total original sup
ply there had been mined to the
close of 1908, according to the
best records obtainable, approx
imately 1872, $4,000 tons, which
represents an exhaustion esti-
mated at 1919, 200, 900 tons, or O.2.
per cent of the original supply.

WILL CALL EXTRA SESSION

1t is reported that Governor Shat

calling an extra session of the Colo

In speaking of the session, the COVER
nor said to the Denver News this
week:
81 am convinced that early in April
is the proper time because the laws
enacted will not become effective until
ninety days after their passage.
Il want the legislature to be re
minded that few months after the
special session is adjourned the people
will be demanding how the party
pledges have been kept.
81 shall insist most strongly on the
laws governing the primary, initiative
and referendum, bank guaranty and di-
rect election of United States senator.
| believe these laws will be passed by
sion. The message may contain refer
ence to other measures. If the legis-
lature fails to do its duty within sa,-
isfactory time | shall prorogue it and
leave the question with the people. In
addition to the primary law, which
will contain the features of the Ore
gon primary law, lwant a law which
will require that each candidate for
the state senate or house of representa-
tivcs place himself on record before the
people as to whether he will vote for
the peoples choice for United States
senator or use his own judgment. The
people can then judge him according
to his answer and the law will compel
him to stand by his promise. This Is
the nearest we can come to a direct
election of United States senators with
out submitting constitutional amend
men for ratification by the other states.
81 do not expect the special session
to last long, and | will not tolerate
any dilatory tactics. They must &c.

Grand valley can produce. This was
especially true as to the fruit display

Lawrence of Chicago, who is also in

became alarmed regarding his son and

ance, and Charles Baxter and party
of men started ON hunt for the miss

the mountain and Judging from his
condition, he had made the trip to the
top in too quick time and this with
the altitude affected his mind until he
was helpless. He was brought back
to the city and is reported to be get
