poor paralytic was found on hot
summer afternoon lying on bed IN
an old woodhouse, too helpless to

STATE HAS GOOD COAL YEAR
Production for 1911 Attained a
Value of More Than Thirteen
Million Dollars.

The coal mined in Kentucky in 1911
amounted to Is, FOG. 839 short tons,
valued at the mines at S1S. GIT ,2l7.
according to statement of Edward
w. Parker, just issued by the United
States Geological Survey. This was
decrease compared with the pro-
duction for 1910 of 916.480 short
tons which. considering the abnor-
NAL increase in 1910 due to strikes
in other coal-producing States. is
considered small. Altogether, Mr..
Parker says. the year 1911 may be
considered as generally satisfactory
to the coal-minihg industry of Ken
lucky. for in both production and
value there was a substantial in
crease over any year prior to 1910
Compared with 1907. when the pre-
vious maximum tonnage was record
ed, the production in 1911 showed
an increase of nearly 1900. 900 tons
in quantity and of more than 81. 2OO.'
600 in value.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of Kentucky in 1911
was 2l,S2l; about half Of these
worked ten hours a day, about one
fourth nine hours a day, and the
others eight hours a day. The av'
erage production for each man IL
these mines was 62S tons for the
year and 3 8 tons for each working
day. New mining and transports
ton developments will. it is believed
result in substantial gains in pro
duction in the near future.
Kentucky is one OF the leading
States in the mining of coal by The
use of machines, ranking next L
Ohio in the percentage of machine
mined tonnage to the total produc
ton la 1911 more than 65 per cent
of the output. or 9.O02, 288 shor
tons. was mined by machines. Th'
proportion Of Kentucky coal that h
shot off the solid is also much les
than in the neighb0rlng States
where the use Of mining machinery
has not been so highly developed.
