According to the statistics
collected by the United States
geological survey in co-opera-
ton with the bureau of the
census, Virginia was one of the
few states whose production of
coal in 1909 exceeded that of
1907, which had previously the
record. The new record for
yirginia's production in 1909
was due to increased production
in Wise county and to active
development in Russell county.
Wise county, which contributes
at the present time about 90 per
cent. of the states total, in
creased its production from
2,55s,s74 short tons in 1908 to
Assn, 44S tons in 1909. Russell
county's production increased
more than 100 per cent. The net
increase for the state was
593, l75 short tons, or lis per
cent. from 4 1880 short tons
to 4,752,2l7 short tons. The
value increased $i93,57s, or l2.7
per cent-from S3,sGs,52l to
$4,362, lo2. Compared with 1907,
the output in 1908 exhibited a
gain Of 4l,322 shot tons in
quantity, but the value OF the
product in 1909 was nearly
1850, 900 less than that of 1901
Tho average price per ton was
% cents in 1903, ngainst9i cents
in 1905 and Si.O2 in 1907.
