INCREASED COAL
MINING IN INDIANA
Season of 1913 Was Nevertheless an I'm
favorable One, According to Unit
ed States Geological Surevy.

| The production OF coal in Indiana in
1913 was 11,l65,67l short tons, valued
at $4,000 ,Ssl, according to Edward W.
Parker, of the United States geologi-
cal survey. Although this was an in
crease of l,S79,953 short tons, or 1913
per cent, over 1912, it fell short of the
record output of 1910 by more than L.
100000 tons and was valued far from
satisfactory to the producers, The pres
ident OF one of the large operating COM
panies in a let's TO the geological sur
vey, stated that all the forces of nature
seemed to have conspired against the
coal-mining industry OF Indiana. The
year was ushered in with weather mild
as spring, and the remainder of the
winter was so unseasonably warm that
the consumption of coal for both domes-
tic and steam purposes was considerably
below the normal. The food which
swept over that part OF the country IN
March and April caused suspension
of mining operations in some sections
| of the state lasting from ten to 10 days,
and seriously handicapped operation at
some mines for even a longer period.
The food was Immediately followed by
drought during which the water sup
ply in the mining districts all over the
state was exhausted necessitatlng the
shipment of water to the mines, which
caused boiler trouble and materially in
creased the operating expenses. In ad.
dition to all of this, there was general
decline in prices throughout the state
the average value per ton showing
decline from Sll4 in 1912 to Sill in
1918. The total value of the coal mined
increased from $l7,4s0 $40 to Sl9,00l,-
sSl, gain of Sl,52l 1876, or 81 per cent,
compared with the increase of 1913 per
cent in quantity.
In spite of the adverse conditions
which prevailed in 1913, labor was in
better supply and the number Of work
ing DAYS made by the employees was
greater than in 1912. The total number
of employees in the coal mines of In
diana increased from 2l,65l in 1913 to
22,235 in 1913, and the average working
time from ls2 to 100 days. The average
annual production per man increased from
FOG to 772 tons, and the average daily
production by each man from 3,SS to-
400 tons.
The increase efficiency was due in part
to the larger proportion of the product
being mined by the ues of machines, the
increase in that item contributing two
thirds of the total increase, or l,270,3s7
tons. The production of machine mined
coal in 1918 amounted to 1854 lac short
tons, or So per cent of the total, COM
pared with SAT- per cent in 1912
The number of fatal accidents report
ed to the bureau of mines for 1913 was
Sc, compared with 40 in 1912.

their use serious break or jam can be
reported Immediately to the head of the
fume to prevent further shipment of
material. A telephone also makes it pos
sible to notify the men at the upper
end of the fume just what material
to ship and when to ship it.
A flume recently built on Rochat creek,
near st. Joe, Idaho, is cited as a good
example Of modern Vshaped hume CON
struction. This hume, which is unusual
~ large and built TO handle heavy logs
and long timbers, is said to have cost
approximately $4,000 per mile for the
five miles of its length, including the
cost of constructing wagon road and
telephone equipment. Other fumes are
cited costing from $1,000 to $1,000 a
mile.

 IS REPLY 10
 PEACE QUERY German Chancellor Re spends to Second sugges-
 tiOn of U. $.
KAISER HASN'T
 BEEN HEARD FROM
\ Ambassador Gerard Has Not Signified Whether This Is OppGrtune Time to Pursue Germans With
 Peace Offer.

Washington, Sept 17-It was stated at the white house today that this government has received reply from the German chancellor to the second suggestion of this government to bring about peace in Europe.
 The object of the second proposi- tion on which comment was made off cially at the white house was to ascer- tain whether the kaiser entertained at this time certin views about peace which were attributed to German off cials something more than a month ago.
 It was stated that nothing had been received from the kaiser, as it is as sumed here that his views have not been conveyed to this government.
 The reply to the second proposition came to the state department from the German imperial chancellor, and the answer is described officially as "noncOmmittal.'
 so far as is officially known, Am bassador Gerard, who undertook to sound the kaiser second time, has not expressed to the department his official or personal opinion whether this is an opportune time to pursue the German government with diplo- matic tenders of peace.
 It was reported that his govern ment had received detailed sugges- tions from Germany as to conditions of peace. This report was not con- firmable at the white house nor at the state department.

Paris, Sept. 17.-In the battle Of the Aisne. on the result of which depends whether the Germans shall be able again to threaten Paris Or shall be forced from France, the allies have lest more men during two days than during any previous period of the war.
 Fighting continues with the utmost violence North of the Aisne in a desperate effort of the allies to gain the retribution for the terrible losses inflicted on their ranks by the Ger man big gun fire during the periious crossing under fire of the river.
 The allies were repused in a serl- ous counter-attack by the Germans from a strong entrenched position of the German, right, where General von Kluck has received deinforcements and has taken the offensive. The French also have been reinforced near Noyon, the extreme left of the allies line, and the Germans have been forced to yield slightly at other points.
 General von Qluck today was re- ported to be withdrawing his lines closer to those of von Beulow, who, in turn is fast closing up the gap be- tween him and the main Gerns,n center
 General d'tmande Fails.
 This would' appear to indicate the failure of General d'Amande's stroke at the rear of the German right wing in whic he swept 60 miles to the northward of Paris in an attempt to cut off the von Kluck army from the main German force. The French ad- init their failure to isolate von Kluek and the rival armies are now engageu in front attacks on the whole battle line.
