COAL MINING IN
NEW MEXICO
FOR 1903
Use Of Fuel Oil and In
creased Tariff on Coal by
Mexico Injurious.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Jo E.
Sheridan. United States mine inspector
for New Mexico, reports to the United
States geological survey that the coal
mining industry in New Mexico contin-
ued in 1909 the growth it had main
tanned during the previous decade. Al
though the gross productiOn-3,0 SO $50
short tons-was the largest ever re-
ported it did not tax the mines one
half their capacity The quantity used
IN operating the mines was 0,200 tons;
the net tonnage shipped from the
mines was 3,040,160 tons. Of this net
tonnage SSO,S92 tons of unwashed slack
and coal was sent to the washeries and
coke ovens at Dawson, Koehler and
Gardiner, and 2,159,26S tons of coal was
shipped to market and sold at an aver
age price of s1.54 per ton Of 1000
pounds. The total value of coal mar
keted was $685., 472.72. The amount of
coke produced was ,06S tons. which
sold at an average price of SO per ton
at the ovens. The total value of coke
shipped was S1,326 204. The total value
of coal and coke produced and sold was
S4,651,676.72, a substantial increase over
the value for any previous year The
average number of days the mines were
operated was 240; the number Of miners
employed was 224O; the average pro-
duction per day for each miner was us
tons. The coal mining industry Of the
territory now gives employment to more
than 1000 persons.
Fuel Oil Displaces Coal and Coke.
Several influences retarded the
growth Of the coal-mining industry in
this territory during the year. Coal
mining in New Mexico is largely de-
pendent on the copper mines and
smelters and the lead and zinc mining
industries of the southwest, which pro-
duce not only these metals but also
gold and silver. The rather dormant
general industrial conditions in the
early part of the year restricted the de-
mand for copper from the mines of the
southwest and reduced the demand for
coal and coke produced by New Mexico
mines and coke ovens. Another OBJ
stacle was the competition of fuel oils,
oil from Oklahoma and Texas replacing
coal as fuel on fully 5000 miles of rail-
roads on the Pacific coast and in Texas
and throughout the southwest.
The use of oil as locomotive fuel has

GREATEST NUMBER Of POLL TAX
PAYMENTS IN THE HISTORY Of CITY

certified copies are prepared. The col
iector's office in the court house was
open until midnight last night land
there was a crowd lined up at the
different wickets until late Monday
night. Books are scattered over the
valley for the convenience of the
ranchers who found il impossible TO
come to town and the number OF re-
ceipts issued by the collectors assist
ants is not known yet
Estimates varying from 1000 TO 5000
were made by the employees of the col
lectors office after the office closed
last night. One estimate was 5000,
which was made by deputy collector
James White, and is thought to be
near the real number. Of this number
about 1000 were issued to residents of
the city and the remainder to voters
outside of the city. The number of
poll tax receipts this year is expected
to be greater than any previous year.
The record year was 1907, when 1893
receipts were issued. This surpassed
the number for last year, there being
503S receipts issued and 433 exemp-
tons
George Harper said this morning that
he thought that there would be the
largest total of poll tax receipts paid
this year of any year in the history of
the county. Il am satisfied that while
there were fewer poll taxes paid in
the city this year than two years ago,
there was a decided gain in the num-
Der paid in the county" he said.

liable Hot weather DOS"
and 'Don'ts"

This is the season OF the year most
fatal TO infants, especially In the
poorer sections Of tho city. Last year
100 babies under Sne year old died.
The board OF health is seeking to re-
duce the numoer by teaching proper
care and feeding. The mothers clinic
In the board OF health building Is op-
Grated for the purpose OF keeping
babies well, as much as for curing
those who become Ill. About 200
mothers are on the regular list or
callers. One nurse OF the Visiting
Nurses association is paid by the city
to make the rounds OF homes where
there are apt TO be babies needing
care. and show how the ills that take
of the little ones can be avoided.
After July / five nurses will be EN-
ployed In the same way.
Improper feeding too heavy cloth
ing and lack OF bathing are responsible
for more infant mortality than any
thing else" said Health Officer Guy l..
Kiefer.
Mothers imagine that every time
a baby cries II needs something In the
nature OF a beefstcak dinner. and they
crowd its little stomach until fever
conditions ensue. They are fearful
OF the baby taking cold. and they
swaddle him up ia iannels and put
him somewhere In the sun, when he
should be dressed In the lightest pos
sible manner and put In the shade.
They dope him with drugs, usually
containing opiates.
Here are the best health hints for
babies that I know:
Keep them cool as you can. Do
not overdress them.
do not overfeeG them. II they cry,
II is better to give them little wateI-
Babies under one year should have

FREIGHT HEARING ON.
J. B. Ford Co. Makes Protest Against
Increase In Rates.

Special Examiner Mccormack. of
he interstate commerce commission,
is at the federal building hearing the
OF the J. B Ford Co. against
a recent increase in the freight rate
on it's soda ash cleaner. The cleaner,
formerly was shipped at the rate of
soda ash, which Is four-fifths OF the
5ixth-olass rate. Beginning Jan. last,
the rate has been that for fifth-class
freight. The company alleges that II
is impossible to sell the product at the
Old price with the new rate, and that
it's business has been built up at a GER
tain price, which cannot be increased.
The main complaint is made against
the Michigan Central and Lake Shore
railways. which arc represented by o.
Il. Butterfeld. Gray & Gray, Of De-
troit, and Charles d. Drayton. OF
Washington. D. c., appear for the com.
plainants.
