TEXAS BREAKS COAL RECORD
Production In 1911 Nearly Two
Million Tons, Valued At
$3,250,000.

The amount of coal mined In Texas
In 1911 was the greatest in the history
Of the industry 10 the state, according
10 Edward W. Parker Of the United
States Geological Survey, 10 state
ment just made public. The produce
tIon was 1,974,593 short tons, valued
At 90. 273, 1888, an increase over 1910 Of
82,4l7 tons and S1l2,323 Texas pro-
duces both bituminous and Ignite
Goals. In 1911 both the greater pro-
luctinn and the greater increase were
in hituminous COAL. .03S,592 and 49,
0OS tons, respectively. Bituminous
soal was produced in 7 counties and
Ignite In ~ counties. The average
price OF bituminous coal was 81 30 and
OF Ignite SS cents ton
The Increased production OF coal
and Ignite IN Texas in 1911, as In 1910,
may be attributed TO the growing pop
ulation and industrial Development
nf the state, which consumes not only
It's own product but also considerable
quantities brought 10 from Arkansas
and Oklahoma on the north and Colo
RADIO and New Mexico on che north
west. 1t also produces and consumes
large quantities OF fuel oil. IL is esti-
mated by David T. Day, the Geologi-
cal Surveys petroleum statistician,
that the consumption Of fuel oil in
Texas la 1911 was $500, 900 barrels.
Coal mining 10 Texas In 1911 was
free from labor troubles. 10 general,
the bituminous mines were worked s
hnurs a day, and the Ignite mines 10
hours.
