sTATISTICIAN OF U. S. GEOLoGI.
CAL SURVEY TALKS AT MIN; j
ING CONGRESS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-Tho
anthracite coal operator has hard
time making even slender profit
on his investment; the popular idea
that he simply sits back and guides
a golden stream into his Golfers Is a
dcluion. according to Edward w:
Parker, statisticlan 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, II

Citing statistics to uphold, his, cons (

There is a somewhat general I'M

called coal barons is TO look pleasant;

arc few lines Of industrial endeaHorS
where during the last ten Years
there have been smaller returns for

been put into it, than In the business
OF coal mining. 8
"The United States census report
for 1909, the only recent official sta
tistlcs relative to cost and valle
available, shows that the value OF
the Pennsylvania anthracite produc-
ed in that year was $14S,957,5@:
The total gross expenses amounted to-
$139,l1O,444 from which should be
deducted $4,S64,S44 made up froIlf
charges to miners for explosives, oil
and blacksmithing, making the net
expenses $l34,245,600.
"The total production in 1908
amounted to 72,215,273 long tons 50 4
that the average value per ton for
the output in that year was S2,0s;
the average cost per ton was $1.S6;
and the net returns on the operations
for the year were Sl4,712,2s4, or an !
average Of twenty cents per ton.
This at first glance looks like q fair
return, but attention must be called
to the fact that the census figures Of

of capital invested or borrowed ands
no ofrsetting charges for moft1za'l
