the Spaulding high school twlrler who
pitched regulation game the day pre-

the youngster. During his stay on the
mound Tomasi was hit safely four times.
During his first three sessions he was IN

Washington. June 25.--Great disap-
pointment will be felt in Boston over
the action of the conferees on the leg
islative bill in eliminating the Lodge
amendment granting an increase of Sl0,-
900 for the purposes of establishing a
foreign trade bureau in Boston. This
action was due solely to the unwilling
ness of the House conferees to allow adj
ditional money to Secretary of Com
merce William c. Redfeld, for whom
the appropriation for this purpose had
once been increased from 100000 to $751;
900. Secretary Redfield promised a
branch bureau for Boston only on con-
dition that the Massachusetts men
should secure additional money for one.
Senators Lodge and Weeks got the item
through the Senate, but it failed in the
House on general principles and not be-
cause of any desire to deprive Boston OF
bureau. The Senate has accepted the
conference report.

Earliest Coal Mining in Indiana

Some knowledge of the coal resources
of Indiana was obtained as early as
1894, when the public land surveys
showed number of outcrops. The re-
port of the Geological Survey of lndi-
ana published in 1872 states that in
1911 coal was dug at Fulton, in Perry
county, and taken by Robert Fulton
aboard the steamer Orleans on its first
trip down Ohio river. There is good
reason to believe that coal continued
to be mined for local consumption be-
tween 1871 and 1887, when the first at
tempt at commercial mining was made,
but there is no record of the quantity
mined during that interval The first
commercial coal mining in Indiana, ac-
cording to Il. w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey, was done by
the American Camel Coal Co. at Can
Melton, Perry county, in 1887 The coal
was mined on the bluffs along Ohio and
Wabash rivers and for the first 10 years
of the company's operations was loaded
directly into boats for shipment to
points down the Ohio.
In 1910 the United States census re-
ported that the production of coal in
Indiana in that year was 9,6S2 tons,
The industry developed slowly until
1865. when it was ascertained that the
block coal mined in the Brazil and Terre
Haute districts made a satisfactory
blast furnace fuel in it's raw condition.
At about that time the construction of
railroads throughout the state gave an
impetus to the oal-mining industry,
which has shown steady progress ex-
cept when affected by periods of de.
preston and labor disaffections.
The record for production was made
in 1910, when it was ls,3so,sI5 tons
the production for 1918 was l7,l65,67l
tons.
