Canal the Incentive.

The explanation OF this Is the nea
completion Of the Panama canal Europe
appreciates that II will not be an eco
nomical proposition to transport the coal
that will be required for the foreign YES
sells utilizing the canal from European
sources. so European capital appreciate ed
the fact that this coal must come from
the United States. and various organiza-
tons abroad naturally desired their indi-
Nldual coal producers Whenever possible
hence the seeking after new propositions
within easy reach OF the canal zone
Fortunately for the development OF the
american coal industry the cast and wes:
afforded available fields for this explors-
tion OF capital. European capitalists were
not alone in the field. for American cap
ita]ists were equally eager for new pro-
ducers. and the search from world vide
sources has been nation wide in extent
This particular phase OF the canal COM
pletion means more than is appreciated
At home for the coal mine owners Of the
state or Utah. There are billions OF tons
OF coal known to exist in this state and

Capital Invested.

The capital invested in coal mine.
and the output and value OF coal pro.
duced were more than three times as
great IN 1909 as in 1899. and the acre
age OF land controlled was more tina ar
four times as great. by far the greater
part OF this development took place in
bituminous mining.
In general. from 1899 10 1903 both the
average expense of production and the
average value of coal increased. This
Is especially true OF anthracite. In 1899
ton of anthracite was $l.34. as compared
with Sl.12 in 1909, while the average
value per short ton was Sl.4f. as COM
pared with sl.Si IN 1903. The incgea SO
In expense amounted TO SO cents per
ton and the Increase in value TO 40 cents
per ton. The average wages Increased
81 cents per ton.
The corporate form OF organization
predominated among the producers OF
coal in 1909. The 1912 corporations COM
prised 52,6 per cent of the total number
Of concerns reporting, operated 6S.3 per
cent OF the total number OF mines. en-
ployed 93.6 per cent OF the wage carners
In the industry. and produced $40 per
cent Of the entire quantity OF coal
divduaJ operators. 66i firms and thirty
one others reporting. nearly all of these
were relatively small concerns. For
corporations the average production per
firms 10000 tons and for individuals
5000 tons.
The average wage payment per ton
for anthracite produced by corporations
was sl15, as compared with % cents
for the output of other concerns, but
the after figure includes no valuation
for the services of the seventy-two pro-
prietors performing manual labor.
OF the entire output of coal In 1909
nearly one-half was mined by operators
known TO be closely affiliated With rail-
roads or industrial concerns Producers
connected with railroads mined more
than one fourth Of the total coal pro
duction, and more than three -touTths
OF the total i'm the case OF anthracite,
The coal mining subsidiaries Of iron and
steel companies produced about one
tenth Of the total tonnage and those OF
other industrial concerns nearly as much.
