Steady Increase in Coal Production

Denver.-Coal mining as In indus
try in Colorado began in 1864, when a
production of 500 short tons was re-
corded. In 1876 the production reached
for the first time a total exceeding
100000 tons, and six years later In
1882, 1t had reached the million.ton
mark. Since that date the increase
mas been almost uninterrupted. The
production exceeded 100000 tons In
1890; ten years later it had grown to
over 100000 tons. and in 1910 It ex-
ceeded 100000 tons. but in 1912 it
