COAL PRODUCTION DOUBLING
What Is TO BE Expected In Tulsa
County Barring New De-
vclopmcnt.

What Is to be expected to occur In
the coal fields of Tulsa county with
in the next ten years Is best indica.-
ed in the report Of the United States
Geological survey just issued, ana
which discloses an astonishing fact
in connection with the coal produj'
ton of this country-that each de-
cade the output will be doubled.
What this will eventually mean foi
Tulsa county, with her 10000 acres
of excellent coal lands, can we'll DO
figured out.
II the production of bituminous
coal alone We're considered, the rec
ord for the last fifty years woulo
show increase somewhat in eN-
cess of this ratio, The increase in
the production of anthracite has
been much less rapid on account Ol
the limited area of the fields. the
conditions under which the industry
is carried on, and the restriction u
the prepared sizes TO domestic con.
sumption. 1t has been estimated
that the output OF anthracite will
reach 10O,000,000 long tons annually
before II begins to decline The
maximum production up TO the pres
ent time has been S0,771.4SS long
tons. An increase in the annual pro-
duction Of bitumnous coal may ps
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 amounted
to 2s4.S9O,O55 short tons. In the de-
eade from 1866 to 1875. inclusive,
the production amounted to 419 1885,
104 tonsS making the total proouc-
ton up to the close of 1875, 70i,3lb.-
159 tons. In the following decade.
from 1876 to 1885. Inclusive, the out
put amounted to S47,760,3i9 tons.
somewhat more than double the total
production during the preceding de-
cade. At the close of 1885 the total
production amounted to 1.552,075,-
AIS tons, and the production during
the ten years ended In 1895 was
1,5S6,098,6i1 tons, the total produc.
ticn at the close of 1895 amounting
to 3,13s,174.i19 short tons. In the
decade ended December 81. 1906. the
total production amounted to 2,S32.-
