Trinidad.-Colorado is the most i'm
portant coal-producing state west of
Mississippi river and ranks seventh
among all the states The coal mined
in 1912 was 10,977,S24 short tons, an
increase of 820,441 tons over 1911, ac-
cording to E. w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey at Washing.
ton. The value increased from $14,-
747.764 to $16,345,336. This Increased
production may be attributed to the
bountiful crops and general prosper
ity throughout the state, which nat
urally created an improved condition
in the coal trade, particularly in the
last four months of the year. There
was much complaint of deficiencies in
labor and car supplies.
The coal-mining industry Of Colora-
do was singularly free from labor
troubles in 1912, an output of practi-
cally 100000 tons being won with
out strike or suspension, SO far as
reported. The United States Bureau
of Mines reports a total of ninety
five deaths from accidents in the coal
mines of Colorado in 1912, an increase
of four over 1911.
In quality the Goals of Colorado
range from subbituminous (black lig-
niteO, in the Denver region, through
various grades of bituminous, includ-
ing the high-grade coking coal of the
Trinidad and Glenwood Springs fields,
to true anthracite in the Crested
Butte and Yampa fields. Some of the
coal beds of Colorado attain enor-
nous thickness. This is especially
true in the Glenwood Springs field,
and some of the beds in the North
Park field are also said to be of great
thickness. The total area undcrlain
by coal in Colorado is estimated at
E.130 square miles, and about sixty
lieved to contain coal that is workable
under present conditions. The state
contains areas embracing over 1000
square miles about which little is
known, but which may contain work
able coal, and nearly 5000 square
miles in which the coal lies under
heavy cover and is therefore not work
able at present.
In point of production the most inn
portant area is the Trinidad field, un-
derlying considerable portions OF
Huerfano and Las Animas counties.
which in its southern extension into
New Mexico as the Ration field is al
SO the most important producer in
that state. The coal of this field is a
high-grade coking coal. probably the
best coal of that grade in the Rocky
Mountain states
