ALMOST HALF A BILLION TONS.
Coal Produced in 1911 Close Behind
the Great Output of 101O.-Value
Of 1911 Production SG25.O1OII3.

The United States has become a
half billion ton coal country. Dur
Ing the last two years the total pro-
duction has averaged just trifle
short Of the 5OOOOO,0OO mark, ex-
ceeding that figure in 1910 and al
most reaching it in 1911. II is con
sidered probable that in the future
ii will be Il bad year whose produc-
ton falls far short of this quantity.
The final figures of production have
been compiled by Edward w. Parker
the government coal statistician. and
are discussed by him i'm a statement
just issued by the United states Geo
logical Survey. They show a total
production i'm 1911 of i96,1SS.3OS
short tons, valued at the mines at
1925, 5,9l0.1l3. or this production
Pennsylvania anthracite amounted to
9O,464,067 short tons. valued at SlT4,-
952,il5, and bituminous coal and
Ignite to 4O5 724,241 tons. valued at
$450,957,69S. The decrease in pro-
duction in 1911 was 5.4OS,O1O tons,
or little over ! per cent, in quantity.
and $3,646,90S, or little over 0 .
per cent in value. The decrease is
attributed by Mr.. Parker wholly to
the depressed condition of the iron
and steel trade in 1911, which was re-
Elected in the decreased production of
coke. The three leading coke-pro-
ducing states alone showed an aggre-
gate decrease of nearly 5000, 900
short tons of coal.
The decrease in the production of
bituminous coal compared with 1910
was 11,SS6.9O1 tons. but this loss was
largely made up by the increase in
the production Of anthracite, which
was 5,97S,S31 short tons greater than
in 1910.
Considering the marked decrease in
the production and consumption Of
coke and the fact that large quanti-
ties Of coal in addition to that used
for coke making are consumed in the
iron trade, the comparatively small
net decrease of less than 5000. 900
tons in coal production must be taken
as an indication that other manu-
featuring industries, the transporta-
tion companies, ana the country gen.
orally We're prosperous. The average
price for bituminous coal was ! per
a ton lower in 1911 than in 1910 and
that of anthracite was cents higher.
The total number of men employed
in the coal mines of the United States
in 1911 was 722,322, of which 172,-
5S5 worked in the anthracite mines
Of Pennsylvania, The average num-
Der of days worked in the anthracite
mines was 246 and in the other mines
eli. The Average production per man
was i-2 tons a day in the bitumi-
nous and Ignite mines.

Federal Officials To Take Care of
Conyicts Who Made Bogus
Dollars.

Salem, Ore. Aug. 9.-Steve Con-
nell, secret agent of the federal gov
ernment, will be notified by Superin-
tendent Frank Curtis of the manufac-
tnre of bogus half dollar pieces at the

at the Jones confectionery store. con-
fessed that he received them from

gated and found broken plaster paris
