COAL OUTPUT WILL
 SHOW GREAT GAIN
THINK THIS YEARS PRODUCTION WILL BREAK RECoRD-ASsIsT- ANT INSPECTOR NEILL's VIEWS

It is the opinion of practically all the mine operators and many coal merchants that the supply of coal mined and sold in Birmingham this year will be from 2,5oo 900 to 100000 tons greater than ever before in the history of coal mining in Alabama.
 Robert Neill, associate mine inspector, who has been In this district for num- Der of years, stated yesterday that in his opinion the production this year would surpass any previous year. His views are held by James Hillhouse, chief mine inspector, and other inspectors.
 "The reason for this increase is easy to explain said MT. Neill. ''The mines will operate three or four months longer this year than last. Last year the de- pressbn caused a shutdown at quite a few mines A great many others worked only half or two-thirds time. Now every where l go the greatest activity is seen. The mines are all running overtime.
 "The heavy work at the mines supplies a great army of men with employment. The result is that every mine camp is working a full quota of men, and they rest on the assurance that the mines are constantly open and ready for them.'
 The mines of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, which were recently en- tered for the purpose of cleaning prepar- atory to resumption, are now producing a small tonnage of coal. The two mines are situated at Dora and Blue Creek. The mines have been down since the manic of .three veara ago and since that time had become submerged with water. The mines will start their full work in few days
 The Pratt Consolidated company in- tends to produce the largest amount of coal possible from this time on because of the larger orders which have ac- cumulated.
