COAL OUTPUT
BIG INCREASE
Last Year a Harvest For
Western Mines
IN VOLUME AND PRICE
The Seven States of Rocky
Mountain Region Profited
by the Mississippi Valley
Strike According to Fig
ures of Geological Survey

Washington, D. c., July 23-The sta
tistics Of production of coal I'm the
states of the Rocky mountain region
in 1910. according to Edward w. Park
er, Of the United States geological sur
vcy, show that the year was, for that
region, one of unusual prosperity
for the coal operators.
The closing down of most of the
mines in the Mississippi valley states
by the six months strike Of 1910 ere
ated a strong demand on the coal mines
of Colorado, Montana, New Mexico and
Wyoming. Even Utah, more remote
than the other states. made substantial
gains in production. Ignite produc-
ton fell off a little in North Dakota,
and Idahos always small output was
somewhat smaller, but these Goals do
not enter the same fields Of usefulness
as those from other states. and more
over the decreases were insignificant
The principal demands for the Rocky
mountain Goals came from the railroads
running between Mississippi valley
points and the Rocky mountains, the
usual railroad fuel from the mines of
Illinois. Kansas, Missouri. Arkansas
and oklahoma having been cut off by
the strike. There was also a good de-
mand for Rocky mountain Goals
throughout the year.
In 1910 the seven states comprised i'm
the Rocky mountain region produced
2S,S57.413 short tons of coal. valued at
4S,776,715. compared with 25.15S.612
tons valued at S37,265.957 in 1909. The
increase in 1910 was 3,69S.S01 short tons
or AZ per ceRt in quantity, and Sc,
SO. 75S. or 17.47 per cent in value.
The largest increase in tonnage wa
made by Colorado, through all the 9th
er states, except Utah. that showed in
creases outclassed Colorado I'm the per
centage of increase. Colorado's producs
ton increased from 1O,716,936 to H.
973,736 short tons. or 11.73 per cent. In
the geological surveys preliminary re-
view of the coal trade in 1910, published
January 3, 1911. it was stated that Colo
radios production would approximate
12.0O0.O00 short tons. The values Of hte
product increased s2,73O,922, or 1911 per
cent.
Montana's coal production increased
from 2.553,9rO short tons, valued at
s5,O3s,942. to 2,926,97O tons. valued at
s5,329.322, the gains being therefore
1877 per cent i'm quantity and SIS per
cent in value.
New Mexico's output increased 1886
per cent in quantity and 34.74 per cent
in value. from 2.SO1.12S tons, valued at
s3.619,744. to 3,5OS,321 tons, valued al
S4.S77,151.
Wyoming increased her production
from 6.393, 109 tons, valued at S9.S96, S4S
to 7.5S3,OSS tons. valued at S11,7O6 1877
gaining 1888 per cent i'm quantity and
1928 per cent in value. Colorado and
wyoming together made up nearly two
thirds of the total increase.
There were 1852 men employed in
the Rocky mountain coal mines in 1910
and the average time made was 245
days.

JOHNS GUN.

him, was a gun. He wanted the gun
very badly, After he had signed
postscript as follows: Santa is you
have too many presents to carry, Just
bring me the gun and never mind the
other things" He then gave the letter
to his papa to mail.
He wanted a gun for his birthday,
but his parents did not think it best
for an eight year old boy to have
gun. But as Mr.. Wilson read the let
ter, before he mailed 1t, he saw how
badly John wanted the gun, 80 on
Christmas morning when he came
down to breakfast and found all his
presents on the table. his heart sank.
when he saw every one of the presents
he asked for but the gun. But under
all the presents was the gun. It was q
beautiful one. On the handle Of 1t en-
eraved in silver were these word:
"John Wilson, Christmas, 1870, and
attached to 1t was note. 1t said:
Dear John: AS you wanted the gun
50 badly, have brought you very
GOOD one that will last you until you
are a man. But as you are only eight
years old now 1t Is not safe for you to
70 hunting but you may shoot at
marks.-Santa Claus"
John was very proud OF his gun.
And as soon as breakfast was over he

Then we came up to the house ana
swung. After we had all had a swing
the girls decided that they would have
to go so took them partly up to their
sisters, then came home and my
little cousin was here so played with
her. was very glad to meet Ruth
she was such a nice girl. Well
Frances wish you could come up and
see me this summer, but don't expect
you can as I suppose you will be very
busy. Well Frances will close.
