WYOMING
IS BIG INDUSTRY
Past Year Was Next to the
Most Prosperous Season
Ever Experienced.

The coal production of Wyoming in
1912. according to Edward W. Parker OF
the United States geological survey,
amounted TO 7S6S.124 short tons, valued
at sll.64S,0SS. an increase OF 623, ,260 short
tons in quantity and OF $1,i3S. 225 in val
ue over the figures for 1911. The output
IN 1912 was the largest in the history OF
the state with one exception 191O), but
in 1910 conditions were abnormal. a
shortage of fuel caused by a six months
strike among tho coal miners in the
central and southwestern states having
caused an unusual demand upon the coal
producing districts OF the Rocky Noun
tain states. The production IN 1911,
while less than that in 1910. showed
normal gain over l309 and that OF 1912
exhibited similar normal increase over
1911. The region supplied BY Wyoming
coal was blessed with bountiful crops in
i9lZ, and the metallurgical and other in
dustries were in prosperous condition.
which was reflected not only in the in
crease in production over 1911 but in an
ADVANCE In the average price per ton
Coal mining in Wyoming gave employ
ment 10 SOS6 men for an average OF 2SS
days in 1872: against 1924 men for an
average af,sr;a;, OF 2So DAYS In 1911. The labor
highest In the country, usually showing
an average production per man per year
u over gu0 tons. In lSl2 this average
was sl1. According 10 the United States
bureau OF mines. there were thirty-four
deaths by accident IN the coal mines OF
Wyoming during 1912. an increase OF one
over 1911
Probably more than half OF the entire
area of Wyoming is coal bearing Coal Is

under SO heavy a cover as TO be un-
workable under present conditions. The
reserves are estimated at approximate tely

ceedi,g that Of any other state. with the
possible exception of North Dakota The
coals OF North Dakota, however are
almost Ignite, with a small amount of
subbitum!nous coal. whereas those of
wyoming range from subbitumlnous TO
medium grade bituminous, Some OF the
wyoming Goals go 10 markets as far dis

d wyoming are numerous. some of them
are very large, and they contain many
oeds. some of which are Very thick one

NORTH STAR LEVELS
CHOKED WITH ORES
Company Increases Its Week
ly Output to Eight Hun

Local shareholders OF the North Sta
following account OF mine conditions con
tained in the Tonopah Miner of July IL
The North Star workings on both
the $50 and 1O50-foot levels are now
so choked with ore that II has been
decided to increase shipments TO at
least 100 tons day and the total
output may even amount TO 500 tons
a week. The mine is opening up
splendidly on both levels.
On the foot level the foot and
hanging wall veins have come to-
yether in the upraises and now form
a body of high grade fully sixteen
feet wide. This has hit the cap
westerly curve towards the Mizpah
fault. which is also curvlng over To
the west and Is probably over ninety
feet distant at that height above the
level. The raises from this level have
proved up an immense body of ore
from the face OF the east drift up
ward and westward under the cap
rock, the vein continuing to gain In
height above the level as the cap
this development work alone about
10 tons OF hlghgrade ore We're
shipped last week.
On the 1050-foot level the east
drift on the Macdonald vein is out
over 10 feet, the face showing u
width OF six feet OF splendid ore.
This drift has been extended contln-
uousIy in the ore without break
or fault. the vein occasionally varying
In width but maintaining splendid
values. On It's eastern course the
vein Is swinging to the north and
should 1t continue on this course 1t
viii give the company a greater
length OF the vein on its course to
the Belmont.
This work has proved up a very
large tonnage Of rich ore between
the $50 and 1060-foot levels.
On Saturday last a raise was
started from this drift and is now
up about fifteen feet and shows
width of over nine feet OF very high
grade ore, This raise will be con-
tinued UP to the level above and
another raise will shortly be started
about fifty feet east of this.
No stopping Of ore has yet been
done in the mine. but all ore ship
ments have been made from develop
ment work only.
The northeast crosscut from the
south vein TO the Macdonald vein Is
now out seventy-flve feet and has
cut quartz stringers carrying small
values.

John Rawn, Prominent Citizen.
The blare and blaze OF American
life went CT in all its capitals of indus

poured their smoke increasingly into
the sky. Men ran hither and thither
like ants, busy about what seemed
TO them of importance. Vast hives OF
heaped-up stone twice daily poured
out their population OF small creatures,
some OF them crippled, hurt, shorn in
the battle OF life, their faces pale,
their forms bowed and stunted before
their time. Out of the rich west poured
always a steady stream OF the prod

sources OF this admirable country Of
ours. Many produced It, few con-
trolled It, all required it.
But there came sort OF hush over
all the country. as though an eclipse
we're passing, or some gloom cast by
a cloud coming between these cities
and the sun. Men said that business
was not so good as II should be, though
the country was richer than ever.

explain, but they found all save the

Pamphlets appeared. In the journals
pretending to give voice to popular
trend of thought there were now to
be seen many screeds from many IN

prices should rise. others that rates of

wages should decrease. Others said
that wages should increase-a few

needed most a larger wage were those
