CANCEL FALL TRIPS
stsamboat Men Discontinue Thru Traf
flo Between St. Louis and St Paul
Wstsr Power Company at ksokuk
Tie, Up Water-court Action Threat

Davenport, Sept 5.-steamboat men
have given up attempts to maintain
thru traffic between st. Louis and ST.
Paul this year. claiming that the water
power company at keokuk is tying up
so much water in it's dam that it IL i'm
possible for the big boats to navigate
at night time. The fall trips have been
cancelled.
The power company claims the right
to withhold the water at night and as
a result steam boat men claim they are
delayed many hours below the dam and
are unable to make scheduled time. The
steamer Quincy recently went hard
aground on the rocks near the opening
OF the canal and could be tloated only
when water enough had been released
from above the dam to raise the stage
eighteen inches.
The steamboat men are threatening
court action.

Small Profit
In CoalMining
Says Expert
DECLARES POPULAR IDEA OF
GOLD ROLLING INTO POCK-
ETS IS MISTAKE.
sTATIsTICIAN OF U. s. GEOLoGI
CAL SURVEY TALKS AT MIN
ING CONGRESS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 2S.-The
anthracite coal operator has hard
time making even a slender profit
on his Investment; the popular idea
that he simply sits back and guides
a golden stream into mis- Golfers is d
delusion, according to Edward W.
Parker. statistician of the United
States Geological Survey. And the
bituminous coal operator makes even
less money. Mr.. Parker said in his
address today before the American
Mining congress in session here.
Therefore, Mr. Parker added, if
anyone is robbing the people on the
price of coal, the robber is not the So
called coal baron but somebody else.
In fact, he said, the coal mining in
dustry is almost demoralized in the
United States and the dividing line
between profit and loss is very faint.
Citing statistics to uphold his con
tention, Mr.. Parker said, in part

other consumer of anthracite.
More Striking in Bituminous.
"The figures covering the cost and
value Of bituminous coal show even
more striking comparisons. The to-
tai value of the bituminous produc-
tion In the United States in 1893 ae-
cording to the Bureau Of the Census
was s401, 577,477. and the mining
expenses of producing this value, in
GLIDING salaries of Officers was $378l-
.159,202. From the figures =7-
pears that Is per cent. of the total
cost was spent in wages.
"The total capital invested in the
bituminous coal mines OF the United
states in 1909 was, according to the
Census Bureau, in round numbers,
$500, 600, GOO. The difference be
tween the value of the product and
the expense of producing it was $25,-
440. 900, or a fraction over 2.5 per
cent. on the capital. The average val.
ne per ton of all the bituminous coal
produced in the United States was
|Sl.O7, the cost averaged a fraction
Of cent over 81, 50 that the margin
Of profit to cover interest, deprecia-
ton and amortization was little
less than seven tom"

ROBBERS BLOW UP BUILD
ING IN OPENING SAFE

CHICAGO JUNCTION, o., Oct. "a.
the safe at the postoffice at Attica,
O., seven miles west of here and es
capped with loot estimated at 5000.
The explosion of the safe which
shook the town and awakened the
entire population demolished the
two story building which sheltered
the postoffice but did not prevent
the robbers from getting away. The
sum they obtained represents not
only the money in the office but
large sums of money belonging to
the Seneca County Fair association
and other organizations Of which
the postmaster, w. #. Uhle, was secs
rotary.
Uhle was only recently appointed
postmaster and had not yet arrang-
ed to hand over funds of some of the
offices with private concerns which
he had formally held, There was no
trace of the robbers when tho town
awoke.
The first man to reach the scene
was night watchman from bank
two doors away from the post office.
It is believed the burglars escaped
in this direction and the sheriff of
Seneca county. who left Tiffin imme-
diately upon receipt of the news of
the robbery, is hunting them in this
vicinity.

been very serious accident occur
red last evening on West Main street
when the big automobile belonging
to Mr. Walter Wiley dropped over
the steep bank on the lower side OF
West Main street onto the vacant
lot between the Jackson and Per
rine properties. The machine did
not turn turtle, fortunately, and no
one was injured other than being
shaken up. AS the bank on the lew
er side of the street is very steep at
that point, fatal accident might
have occurred if rhe machine had
turned over.

the Baltimore & Ohio railway and

contemplating building large join
yard at Kenova, WI. Va.
AT the present time the Norfolk &
Western/is greatly handicapped by
insufficient yard facilities. The road
handles daily hundreds Of transfer
cars from the Chesapeake & Ohio.
The Baltimore & Ohio is now run
ming over track belonging to the
Norfolk & Western and it would be
an advantage to have the new tracks
put in. A large quantity of freight
is handled at this point.

Returns Are Small.

"There is a somewhat general i'm
preston that the mining of coal, both
anthracite and hituminous, is a
highly lucrative vocation and that
the principal occupation of the so
called coal barons is TO look pleasant
as the golden stream flows into their
Golfers. l venture to state, taking
the industry as whole, that there
are few lines of industrial endeavor
where during the last ten years
there have been smaller returns for
the capital invested and for the en-
ergy, mental and manual, that has
been put into it, than in the business
of coal mining.
THE United States census report
for 1909, the only recent official sta
tistics relative to cost and value
available, shows that the value OF
the Pennsylvania anthracite produc-
ed in that year was $14S,957, 594.
The total gross expenses amounted to
4 $3.50 ITO, 444 from which should be
deducted $4,S64,S44 made up from
| charges to miners for explosives, oil
and blacksmithing, making the net
expenses $134,245, 500
"The total production in 1909
amounted to 72.215,273 long tons, SO
that the average value per ton for
the output in that year was $206;
the average cost per ton was S186;
end the net returns on the operations
for the year were $14,712,294, or an
average of twenty cents per ton.
This at first glance looks like fair
return, but attention must be called
to the fact that the census figures OF
cost make no allowance for interest
of capital invested or borrowed and
no offsetting charges for a mortiza,
ton or depreciation.
Money Invested.
According to the returns of the
bureau of the census. the entire cap
ital invested in anthracite mining in
1909 was $246,700.O00. II on this
capitalization an allowance of 4 perl
cent. be made for interest, the net re
turns for the year amounted in |
round numbers to $4,844,00o III
new breakers and other equipment
are charged into operating expenses
no allowance need be made for de-
but surely the exhaustion
Of from $4,000, 600 to S0,000,000 tons
from the reserve every year should
have some amortization charged
against it and if five cents a ton be
allowed the margin of $4,S00,000 is
practically wiped out. At least IT.
may be said from the operators
standpoint there may have been some
reason for the recent advances in the
price Of anthracite, the effect oil
