bred hogs. 775 pure bred stations and
mares and several hundred sheep. ell OF

COAL SUPPLY OF u. S.
Geological survey Gives II As 3,O.0

tFrom the Boston News Bureau.)
geological survey report on coal for
1911 gives the known coal area as 3l0oD
square miles. and there are 10000 square
miles additional which may contain
marketable Goals. and 90 square miles
not available. The original context of
these coal measures is estimated at 3.o76
-o4,WO.000 short tons. of which l,922,919 :
5000 are easily accessible; l,153 25, 900, co
are accessible with difficulty
The total mined represents an exhaus-
ton equal to l4,lsl9sO,oc0 short tons or
Il little less than 40 per cent of original
supply. The quantity yet available g..
about 9o.1 per cent. of original suppl!
ANNUAL rate of exhaustion as represented
by 1910 and 1911 is o0Zj per cent of supply.
At close OF 1910 coal in the ground was

The report says THE conditions under
which anthra cite mines are operated. the

carried, the consequent increased expense
of mining. and increasing cost of labor

ger, VINO Did the Rest.
A bold robbery was reported to the po-
lice Thursday by Joseph Zero, a teamster
living on Bradley road, and from wnom
an unknown thief forcibly took $I92 short
ly before six o'clock the afternoon before
The robbery took place on North Winoo-
ski avenue The police are now conduct
ing a hunt for the man, but Gero's tardi-
hess In reporting the robbery gave him
such a start that 1t is doubtful II he can
be captured.
Zero had the amount in a wallet IN all
inside pocket of his coat and was intend
ing to pay bill of SIPS. On North Wi
nooski avenue he was accosted by man
of apparently % or 30 years OF age and
who. calling him Joe" asked II he would
not buy him a drink. Gero took 4 dollar
from his roll and handed it to him. The
nan bought quart OF cheap wine at a
second class place nearby and both men
then went into a house and drank it.
Zero thinks the name of the man who
lived in the house was Smith.
The stranger gave Zero the change from
his dollar and after they had sat around
the house for while both got up and
went out. When nearly at the corner of
North Winooski avenue and First street
the younger man grasped Gero and with
the words give up that rolf slid his
hand into Geros coat pocket. took the
wallet and was away almost before GerC
knew what had happened.
The thief took the course down through
the old ball grounds and, although a CRY
was raised and crowd went In pursuit
no sign Of the man was seen He is de-
scribed as being Of about 100 pounds IN
/ weight and about five feet nine inches In

q mixed brown. The general description

firing in his work and at the same
