COAL OUTPUT DOUBLES.
Every 10 Years Production Equals
Total of All Coal Previously
Mined

An interesting if not startling fact
in connection with the production of
coal in the United States, according
to the United State Geological Sur
vey, Is that in each successive decade
the output is practically doubled. If
the production of bituminous coal
alone were considered, the record for
the last so years would show an in
crease somewhat in excess of this
ratio. The increase in the produc-
tion of anthracite has been much less
rapid on account of the limited area
of the fields, the conditions under
which the industry is carried on,
and the restriction of the prepared
sizes to domestic consumption. 1t
has been estimated that the output of
anthracite will reach 100,000,000
long tons annually before it begins to
decline. The maximum production
up to the present time has been S0,-
77l,48S long tons. An increase in
the annual production of bituminous
coal may be anticipated for some
time to come.
The statistics of coal production
in the past show that up to the close
of 1865 the total output had amount
ed to 284, ,S90,055 short tons. In the
decade from 1866 to 1875, inclusive,
the production amounted to AIS, 9,425,-
104 tons, making the total produc-
ton up to the close of 1875, 7O4,-
315,159 tons. In the following de-
cade, from 1876 to 1885, inclusive,
the output amounted to S47,76O,319
tons, somewhat more than double the
total production during the preceding
decade. At the close of 1885 the to-
tai production amounted to 1852
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-11-06

075,47S tons, and the production
during the 10 years ended in 1895
was 1886, 6,O9S,641 tons, the total
production at the close of 1895
amounting to 3,l3S,174,119 short
tons. In the decade ended Decem-
ber 81, 1905, the total production
amounted to 2,4O2,746 short
tons, and the grand total from the
beginning of recorded coal mining in
the United States amounted to s.
970,576,S65 short tons. The aver
age annual production from 1896 to
1905 was S3,240,275 short tons
the average production from 1906 to
1911, inclusive, was 461 9,260
short tons, showing an increase of
17S.25S,9S5 short tons, or SO per
cent.

ERNEST MILLER PIED GUILTY.
Fined and Sent to County Jail for
Three Months-Neighbors Would
Not Testify Against Him.


After the Hubbard-Dolphin homi-
eide case was disposed OF the case of
the Commonwealth against Ernest
Miller was called. A consultation
between the defendant and his at
torneys and the court and prosecu-
ton resulted in the defendant plead
ing guilty to the charge of selling
liquor on Sunday. He was indicted,
however, on two counts, the other
being for selling liquor without
license. A jury was called and dis
posed OF the case without leaving
their seats. The court instructed
them to find a verdict of not guilty.
In imposing sentence, the Court said
that inasmuch as the defendant had
pleaded guilty to one charge and had
saved the county considerable ex-
pense that it would be lenient with
him on condition that Miller would
stop the sale of liquor on Sunday
hereafter. A fine of $50 and the
costs, and a term of 80 days in the
county jail, beginning October 2S
was imposed on Miller. The jury in
this case was composed of the fol-
lowing: Frank Drummer, Texas; j.
K. Bunnell, Texas; William Seegar,
Paupack; p. NJ. Conolgue, Mt.
