Lightning Destroys Inn.

Los Angeles-When w: B. Dewey
proprietor of the Summit Inn, on top
of Mount Badly, at an altitude OF ~
200 feet, made his first trip to the no
tel since last December, he found only
bIackened stone walls and charred tim
hers. The fact that the peak is snow
bound during the winter months makes
Il certain that q bolt of lightning
struck the building and set it on fire,
for it is known that several storms
nassed over it this spring.

WASHINGTON GOALS

The Goals of Washinton, while linn
tied to six or seven somewhat scat
tered areas in the western half of
the state, chiefly along the eastern
border of Puget Sound, have a wide
range in character-from anthracite
to Ignite. Lignites are found in the
southwestern part of the state in
Cowlitz and Lewis counties. In
Lewis county, as the measures ap-
proach the mountains the Ignite
grades upward into coal of subbitu-
minous and bituminous quality. The
areas along Puget Sound contain
subbituminous and bituminous Goals,
some of the latter possessing fair
coking quality, and in the northwest
ern part of the state, on the slopes of
Mount Baker in Whatcom county,
anthracite has been reported. Some
natural coke has been observed. The
cooking Goals of Washington are the
only ones of that grade on the Pa
cific coast. They are found in the
Wilkeson-Carbonado district, in
Pierce county; in the north Puget
Sound field, in Skagit and Whatcom
counties; and in the northern part of
the Roslyn field, in Kittitas county,
but at present coke is made only
from the Carbonate coal.
This coal is somewhat high in ash
and is usually washed before coking.
The smelter at Tacoma takes most of
the coke.
The coal-mining industry of Wash
ington has suffered considerably
during the last few years from the
competition of fuel oil from Cali
fornia, the former principal consum-
ers of Washington coal, the Puget
Sound steamers and the railroads,
having adopted petroleum for fuel.
Even the railroads that have their
own coal mines Immediately on their
lines are using oil for locomotives,
particularly through the forested
areas, where the sparkless character
of that fuel gives protection against
fire. The cleanliness of the liquid
fuel and its greater economy in labor
give it decided advantage over coal
as a steam fuel on the Sound steam
ers.
The consumption of California oil
for fuel in 1912 was approximately
$4,000, 1000 barrels, equivalent to
about five times the total production
of coal in the Pacific coast states. 1t
Is estim ated that the consumption OF
fuel oil in markets tributary to the
coal mines of Washington displaced
about 25,0O0.000 tons of coal. The
railroads alone used 100000 tons
of coal, or more than a third of the
coal production of the state in 1912.
The production of coal in Wash
ington reached its maximum in 1910,
when the output amounted to 3,911,-
500 short tons, according to E. w.
Parker of the United States Geo
logical Survey, who compiled the fig
ures in cooperation with the Wash
ington State Geological Survey. II
decreased to S.572,815 tons in 1911
and to 3,360.932 tons in 1912. The
value fell off considerably less in
proportion, from $S.174,170 to
$S.042, 871.
Reports to the United States bu-
reau OF mines show that the fatal
