The production of bituminous coal In
Texas in the year 1909 was 1,144,1OS
short tons, valued at S2,714,63e. This
is the largest production in the history
of coal mining in Texas. In the year
1895 when separate returns or coal and
Ignite were first rendered, the produc-
ton OF bituminous coal was 5oO,6Io
tons, valued at sS01.23O-
For each ton OF coal mined in 1895
there were mined 81 tons in 1909 In
1895 the coal was valued at s2-22
ton and in 1909 at s2.37. The produc-
ton of Ignite in 1909 was 715,151 tons
by actual returns sent to this bureau
This may be augmented by additional
returns. but it Is not likely that the
additional amount will be more than
IS 600 tons The value of the Ignite
was $685., 221,-or an average OF S2-S
cents per ton. There was decrease
in Ignite of about 100000 tons from
the production OF the year 1908.
Coal Producing Counties.
The coal producing counties are
Erath. Palo Pinto, Parker. Wise and
Young, in the northern field, and Nav
erick and Webb in the southwestern
field. Perhaps a better nomenclature
would be Colorado and Rio Grande. as
the northern field is north and north
east of the Colorado river and the
southwestern field is along the Rio
Grande. The Ignite producing coun-
ties are: Bastrop. Fayette. Hopkins.

located many years ago by Bass, who
has traced the deposit for over mile
in length and has made few ship

determine it's value, which is higher
than the average market price on ac-

Line.

The 100-ton custom plant OF the Black
Range reduction works is to be located
near the dividing line between Socorro
and Sierra counties, New Mexico, in
the heart of the mineranzed territory
OF the Black range The milling and
eyaniding plant will be substantial in
construction and its equipment the most
modern in character.
Plants Operation.
The gold-silver ores are TO be con-
veyed from the mines by aerial tram
ways, and upon delivery at the mill
will be automatically weighed and
dumped into receiving bins
- A grizzly for the separation OF the
coarse and fine ore is next provided. the
fines passing itsinto the mill ore bins,
the oversize or coarse ore passing
through a fine crushing rock breaker,
then Being conveyed TO the mill ore
bins.
From the mill bins the ore is auto
matically fed to the slow speed chilian
mills. which crush the product to fine
mesh This fine product is then further
reduced in size, OF regrOund In tube

when pulverized to this fine state It
Is delivered to the cyanidatfon plant,
into which is Incorporated a continuous

solutions are then passed over a new
type of zinc boxes for precipitating the
metallic calues- This precipitate is
then placed IN a retorting furnace and
reduced to bullion.
As a safeguard for meeting future
changes in character of ores of the
district plans are made for Installing
plants for roasting, ama1gamafion and
amalgamating ores.
Lifted by Electricity.
Each department Of the works is TO be
lighted with electricity. A hydro-elec-

erected on the ella river.

NEEDLEss WASTE OF MEN.

Fifty per cent of the accidents IN
American industry are preventable, is
the claim of the American Museum CT
Safety. In proof of this, it has just
opened a permanent exposition of
safety devices in the Engineering So
cieties' building, New York, to show
how the dangerous parts of machines
and processes may be protected, so as
to save the lives and limbs of the work
men. It thus becomes a clearing house
for every worthy device and every
worthy thought concerning safety. 1t
is it's purpose to place this new
museum idea on the highest plane.
namely the realization of the greatest
ideal regarding conservation-the con-
servation of human life.
The exposition consists of machines
in actual operation, models and photo
graphs of safety devices for circular
saws and planners; presses and grinding
machines; safety exit doors and fire
escapes; respirators and helmets for
supplying pure air; elevators, safety
lamps, and containers for gasoline and
other volatile liquids; textiles, the
building trades, transportation, quarry
ing. the chemical industries and wood
working contain their approprite safe
guards.
"Im in trouble" said a pale and
worried employer who called at the
museum. 1--WE just lost one of my best
workmen, through an accident on ouT
circular saw. The wood kicked, throw
inc him forward on the saw, which cut
him so badly that he lived only a few
minutes. What can you show me in
the way of a safety device?" Such
problems as this arise every day in in
! dustrial life and clearly prove the
necessity and value OF a clearing house
of practical information. where en-
ployers and workmen alike may go for
advice and practical help.
It is to be sincerely hoped that an eff
fort will be made by the American
Museum of Safety to scatter broadcast
the valuable information it is gaining
on now to make all kinds of machinery
safer for the operators. 1t is almost
out of the question for the establish
ment of similar museums in all of the
cities of the country, and especially the
smalleS- ones which are manufacturing
| centers on a smaller or larger scale
and where much machinery that is
more or less dangerous to run is oper-

BUSINESS PROSPECTS coon.

Although conditions in the business
and financial world are not now as
lively over the entire country as they
usually are at this season of the year.
it is the opinion of conservative ex-
perts in the premises, that the ten
dency is all towards Improvement. Not
only that but they think a high-tide
of business activity will begin to sweep
over the land before long, bringing, of
course, a fine prosperity in its wake.
One such opinion comes from Henry

Improvement. The interior is already

A CAMPAIGN OF PERSONALITIES


Personalities rather than economic
issues seem to be paramount in the
various political campaigns which are
being waged throughout the country
today and which will be brought to a
conclusion on Tuesday of next week.
And this is a trifle unusual although
the trend has been in this direction of
late years.
OF course, the personality of candi-
dates has been to the fore frequently
in various campaigns in the several
states for many years, but at no one
election time, heretofore, has this con-
dition been so general as it is now. In
New York the fights seems to hinge
almost solely on Colonel Roosevelt,
who, while not running for office, is
nevertheless the pre-eminent figure,
and 1t would appear the issue as well,
in the campaign. So it is in Wisconsin,
where the figure of LaFollette stands
out before all other men and issues.
In Indiana, similar conditions prevail.
There the keystone of the campaign IS
Beveridge, and his struggle for Re
publican victory that will return him
to the United States senate. So, too, in
Massachusetts,, where the candidacy IF
Mr.. Lodge for reelection to the United
States senate, hangs in the fire.
Even more pronounced would seem to
be this situation in Kansas. To all in
tents and purposes the platforms of
tie paramount parties in Kansas might
have been written by the same hand,
and the campaign has been narrowed
down to the personalities of the candi-
dates for the governorship, Governor
Stubbs and Senator Hodges.
Perhaps the reason for all this is
that there is not the severe line
of demarcation these days that there
used to be in the principles to which
the two big political parties are com
mitted. They seem now to be agreed
on such reforms as are needed TO pei
ter the state and national governments.
The only point where they are at serl-
Gus odds is the tariff. And both are
standing for a revision of that, the
Republicans on maintaining an honest
protective policy and still revising the
tariff downward on such facts ana tlS-
ures as the tariff commission is able 20
obtain on the cost of production at
home and abroad, and the Democrats
for a revision that will make the tariff
for revenue only, or in other words
bring about free trade. But even in
the most of the congressional fights
except in some of the eastern states
the tariff is not cutting quite as much
a figure as are the personalities Of the
rival candidates.
And this would appear to be good
thing. With general agreement on the
economic questions that are to be set
tied and also the way to settle them
the best men in every state and COM
murity should be selected to press FOR
their settlement. In campaign where
the personalities of the candidates rig
ure as of the most Importance, 1t
ought not to be difficult for the voters
10 get a line on the best men.
