VIRGINIA HAS GOOD COAL YEAR.
Produces Nearly 100000 Tons, Accord
ing to Figures of Federal and State
Geological Surveys.

t'ouusSa A'eef'y of"oO,VVS aNhss fNeSS'N
ing to Figures of Federal and State
Geological Surveys.
The state of Virginia mined 7,s46,63s
short tons of coal in 1912, valued at
%,5ls,576, an increase of nearly 100000
tons over the production for 1911, ac-
cording 10 figures compiled by Il. w.
Parker, of the United States geological
survey, in cooperation with the Vir-
ginia geological survey.
The coal areas OF Virginia which have
produced or are producing coal belong
to the Atlantic coast region, which in
eludes the Richmond basin and the APP
palachian region, which includes num-
Der of separate areas extending across
the western Nart of the state. The
Richmond basin Is the only area of free
burning coal located immed lately ada
cent to the Atlantic seaboard. The first
coal mined in the United States was
from this area, mines having been opened
and worked as early as 1850.
Virginia recorded notable increase
in coal production in 1912, with total
output of 7,S46,63S short tons for the
year, valued at $7,5ls,57S, gain over
1911 of ,97l tons in quantity and
81 ,263,7T2 in value. Over rs per cent.
OF the total increase was made in Wise
county, in the Appalachian field, whose
production in 1912 amounted to 1900,
ia short tons, against 1854 800 tons in
1911, gain of 1854 tons, or nearly
20 per cent.
In the geological surveys coal re-
port for 1911 mention was made of
the unfavomble comparison Virginia
makes with the other states of the APP
palachan province in the quantity and
percentage of coal shot off the solid,
and this was accentuated by the rec
ord made in 1912. when out of to-
tai of 7S4663S short tons, 3,74l 1913 !
tons, or 47.7 per cent, was "rnined" by |
the powder In 1911 the proportion so
mined was 35.6 per cent. There was,
however, an increase in 1912 in the !
quantity and percentage OF coal mined |
by machines. The number OF machines
reported in use increased from 1856 in
1911 to 1856 in 1912, and the machine
mined coal increased from 1851 1927 tons,
or 272 per cent. Of the total, to 1906
504 tons, or 40s5 per cent.
As the percentage of coal shot off
the solid in Virginia is high so is the
death rate. In 1912 there were rs ia
tai accidents, of which 81 were under
ground and on the surface. Half of
the deaths, or 80, inside the mines were
lue to falls of roof, 10 to explosions
,r burns of gas, 10 TO premature blasts
" similar accidents, and to mine cars
md locomotives.

REPEAL THE CANAL ACT.
OF CARNEGIE ENDOW-
MENT ISSUE STATEMENT.
United States Should be ScrupulOuS I'm
Keeping Obligations Even to It's
Own Hurt"

Washington, March 16.-Declaring
the United States ought to be the
most scrupulOus of all nations in the
Keeping of it's treaty obligations "even
to it's own hurt" the trustees of the
Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace tonight issued an appeal to the
American people to bring about as an
act of national honor the repeal of
the act of congress which eXemptS
American coastwise vessels from pay
ment of Panama canal tolls. The ap-
peal is in the form of a statement and
was issued over the signature of the
society's president, Senator Elihu
Root, Joseph II. Coate. former ambas-
sador to England; Luke F.. Wright,
former secretary Of war; Charlemagne
Tower, former ambassador to Gema-
ny; Nicholas Murray Butler, president
Of Columbia university, and other
members Of the board Of trustees.
The issuance of this statement is
the latest work Of the society which
was founded in 1910 by Andrew Car
negie when he endowed it with $1O,-
100000. 1t sets forth the history Of
the various treaties that have been
negotiated by this country with Great
Britain regarding the building and
control of the Panama canal, it is de-
clared. Quoting from the language
OF the several treaties between the
countries, that 1T was the purpose Of
the American government to construct
and maintain the Panama canal for
'the benefit of mankind on equal
terms to ALL" and that all treaties on
the subject are biased on this inten-
ton and resolve many times reiterated
by official representatives Of the
American government"
Continuing, the brochure gives the
history of the negotiations of the
treaty concluded on April 4, 1908, in
which it is stipulated that in the event
Of "difficulties arising of legal ma
ture or relating to the Interpretation
of existing treaties these differences
shall be referred to the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague"
and declares that "in a special sense
the United States is bound to observe
faithfully and without question this
treaty" 1T declares that the republic
ought to be "absolutcly faithful to its
word even to its own hurt"
In conclusion the statement of the
trustees says:
"By securing the repeal of that
part of the act Of congress on the
the exemption of American coastwise
vessels from the payment of tolls the
Panama canal which provided for
American people would embrace a
previous opportunity to prove that
they understand their highest interest
and recognize their duty to promote
it for the benefit of mankind
