United States Coal Production.

Washington.-The United States Ge-
illogical Survey has received reports
fixing the production of coal in the
United States during 1910 between
475,O00,000 and 4S5,000,OO0 short tons
The output in 1909 was 459,715, 5,7O1
short tons, and in 1907, 4SO,363, ,424
Colorado furnished nearly 100000
tons last year. The states in which
notable increases in production were
made are Colorado, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, New Mexico, Montana,
the western counties of Kentucky and
in western Pennsylvania. Illinois,
Kansas. Missouri and Oklahoma lost
in production because of pending
strikes. A general advance in the
price of anthracite coal has been no.
ticeable and any decided increase in
Its production is hardly to be expect
ed. Strikes in the southwestern states
gave exceptional impetus to coal min
ing in Colorado, New Mexico AMI Ala
bama. An increased production was
obtained in Colorado Notwithstanding
that the strike of April 1st affected
the lignites or semi-btuminous produc
ing districts of the state. The coal
produced in 1910 sold for much high
er price than the previous year. Colo
RADIOS total production in 1909 was
1O,722,746 short tons. The increase in
1910 was about 20To. The heavy de-
mand for Colorado coal during the last
year was for the use of railroads be-
tween Colorado and the Missouri river.
