LOVE WINS KAISER'S SON

marry Countess Ina Marie, daughter
of Count Bassewitz of Mecklenburg.
It Is the first instance on record

1t is assumed that the emperor,

MICA PRODUCTION LARGE

Mica is found in crystals ranging
from small ones to those several feet
across. Crystals two feet in dame
ter are not uncommon. The value of
the mica produced in the United
States in 1913 was $4S6,06O, North
Carolina contributing $267.913. The
total value of the output in 1913
was $1O4,164 greater than in 1912
and was the largest ever reported.
The production of sheet mica as re-
ported to the United States geologi-
cal survey amounted to 1,7OO,677
pounds, valued at $353,517, COM
pared with S45,483 pounds, valued
at $282,823, in 1912. The produc-
ton of scrap mica in 1913 amounted
to 1922 tons, valued at $82,543,
compared with 1926 tons, valued at
$49,073, in 1912.
The survey has just issued it's an
nual report on the production of
mica, by Douglas B. Sterrett, but in
addition to the statistics of produc-
ton, markets, ETC., this report con-
tains an interesting statement of the
mode Of occurrence of mica and the
kinds of rocks in which 1t is found,
methods Of prospecting and mining
and treatment of the product for

of the various kinds of mica. A

WASHINGTON OUTPUT OF
COAL IN YEAR 1913

For the first time in three years
the coal production of Washington in
1913 showed an increase over that
of the preceding year, according to
figures compiled by E. w. Parker of
the United States geological survey,
ia cooperation with the state geo.
logical survey of Washington. The
production in 1913 was ~3,S77,137
short tons. valued at $9,243,137, a
substantial increase over the output
of 1912, amounting to 516,959 short
tons. or Is per cent in quantity and
$1,2OO,266, or nearly Is per cent in
value. Even this increase, however,
did not bring the output up to the
record made in 1910, when the Ia
imum product of 3,911,899 tons was
mined. 1t indicates, nevertheless, a
recovery from the depressed condi-
ton into which coal mining in
Washington was forced in 1911 and
1912 by the competition of Califor-
MIA petroleum as a railroad and man.
ufacturing fuel. The use of petro-
leum continues, but the increase in
population and improved business
conditions have furnished a better
market for Washington coal than
was available in 1911 and 1912.
The slightly lower average value
per ton in 1913-$2.3S as compared
with $3.50 in 1912 was due rather
to the ability of operators to dispose
of some of the less desirable grades
than to any actual decline in prices.
In 1912 the average value per ton
al ten cents higher than in 1911,
although demand was light and pro-
duction decreased over zoo, 900 tons,
the fact being that in 1912 such de-
man as existed was largely the de-
mand for domestic consumption,
which preferred higher grades of
screened coal and left the slack and
lower grades a drug on the market.
The generally improved tone in the
coal mining business of the state in
1913 is shown by the fact that in
creased production was made in ev-
cry county. The quantity of coal
made into coke, all from Pierce coun-
ty, increased from 76.741 tons to
11S.69S tons. Most of the coke
goes to the smelter at Tacoma.
Reports to the United States bu-
reau of mines show that there were
% fatalities among the 1874 min
era OF Washington in 1913.
