The best bear story of the year
comes from a Great Northern Paper
Co. lumber camp near Pittston Farm.
A smart Philadelphia sportsman is
the misunderstanding through at
tempts to Jolly" the poor, unsophis-
ticated woodsmen. 1t was his misfor-
tune that several of the men in this
camp were more familiar with civil
lied sections of the country than the
sportsman could consider possible,
though it must be confessed that
they led him on in his stories of freak
buildings, trolley ear power and au-
tomobiles which break 500-mile rec
ords if the spring be wound up right
~. His vacation finished and when
about to start for home, beginning
with an eight-mile walk through the
woods to the nearest settlement, Won
drous tales of the fierceness of bears
claimed the interest of the lumber
men. The sportsman tried to secure
a gun but none was to be had. Half
an hour before his starting time a
dishevelled woodsman burst into the
camp with an incoherent story of be-
ing chased by fierce monster. He
declared that the first sight of the
animal had startled him SO that his
"whoops was choked" and he had to
run for his life. Then, for the edifi-
cation of the city man, who, by the
way, was about to postpone his de-
parture, it was explained that loud
whoops at intervals would brighten
any bear away. His relief was APP
parent and after a cautious survey
of the surrounding country and pre-
liminary practice under the instruc-
| ton of the woodsmen that he might
secure the necessary pitch to make
| the whoop efficacious, he started bold
~ away Two of the woodsmen fol-
lowed just out of his sight. His
whoops came with commendable vo.-
ume, frequency and observation-disclosures
| extra one, extra loud and sharp, De-
| ing the answer to the rustlings and
'.growlings'' from the hidden distance.
| Some two miles along the road the
| Philadelphia came upon a member or
| the crew. He explained the precau-
tons he was taking and his belief
that several of the largest and most
| formidable animals in the neighbor-
| hood had been trailing him. This
| whooping business is all right COM
| mented the woodsman, but some OF
| the boys are awful careless and take
| big chances. If l We're You I'd be on
| the safe side and give two whoops in
| stead of one The man from the
| city expressed his thanks for the
friendly tip and, when last heard
from he was plodding along the road
| stopping every hundred yards or sc
| and letting out two of the finest
whoops which ever kept an angry
| bear at bay

Soft Coal MINING at a Loss.

\
On the whole the bitumnous trade
has been demoralized and discourage
ling. and much of the business was con-
Iducted at i loss. The principal cause
for this. particularly in the Eastern
States. has been the depression in the
| iron trade which was more seriously
reflected in the collng-coal regions.
| From correspondence with many of the
principal coal mining and coke making
companies Mr.. Parker estimates that
the production of coke in 1911 will
show a decrease of 90 to. 80 per cent,
compared with 1910. About "a per
cent of the coal used in the manufac-
ture of coke is slack" as the fine coal
produced in the mining operations is
called. 1t is not a desirable fuel for
other purposes, and the shutting down
OF hundreds of coke ovens has added
the burden of disposing of this product
to the other troubles of the bituminous
operators The demands of the rail-
roads and of other manufactures than
iron were scarcely up TO normal. and
bituminous coal was drug on the
market. A coal mine can not, like n
factory, be shut down and allowed to
remain idle without EXPENSE. yenti-
/
kept up, and it may be cheaper in the
end to mine and sell coal at a loss than
to shut down the NINE.
| A generally expressed opinion among
those interested in bituminous coal
mining is that legislation must be Sc
cured which will enable the producers
to effect a better control of the indus-
try. under Federal supervision, if need
| ha in bat Il
be adequately safeguarded, an impos-
sibility when operations are conducted
at loss or with too narrow margin
of profit. Such control seems essen
tial, too, if real conservation--maxi-
lmum recovery with minimum waste
lis to be accomplished
Total Coal Output.
| The total production of btuminons
coal in 1911 was probably from 8 to S
lper cent less than in 1910. A decrease
lof per cent does not seem relatively
important, but when it is considered
that per cent of the production means
l25,o00000 tons in quantity more than
a quarter of a ton for each inhabtant,
lit assumes more significance. 1t is
i equivalent to the total production Of
Belgium, the sixth coal producing
country of the world, and practically
double the output of our northern
lneighbor, Canada. With a decrease of
to per cent in the bituminous pro-
lduction. the output for theSyear would
be between 1896, 100000 and 405, 900, 900
short tons. When to this is added the
production of anthracite, $1,000, 900
short tons (the equivalent of so, 100, 900
long tons), the total production of coal
aggregated between $4,000 and
496,000.OO0 short tons, compared with
Sol 100000 tons in 1910. These esti-
mates are based on statements from
leading operators, on the railroad ship
ments for all but the last few weeks
CT the year, and on the monthly re-
ports from the blast furnaces The
railroad shipments indicate a decrease
of about as per cent in 1910 compared
with 1911, and the production of pig
iron, as given in The Iron Age, shows
decrease of about 16 per cent. :.
