KENTUCKY COAL
OUTPUT 1913
Western District Produces More
Than Southeastern or
Northeastern
BIG INCREASD IN NEW MINES
IN EASTERN END or STATE

Lexington, KY, June d.
(SpeciaD-While all of the de-
tails of the report of q. j. Nor
wood, Chief Inspector of Mines,
of coal mine operations in Ken
lucky for 1918 are not quite fur
nished, the completed figures
show a gain of more than 3,000,-
600 tons in the coal output of
1918 over that of 1912 in this
State. The total output for 1913
amounted to 10, 421, 2SS tons.
This referes only TO what are
known as "commerciap mines,
the aggregate being made up
from monthly reports received
by the Chief Inspector from
coal companies throughout the
year.
Up to 1911 the annual produc
ton of the western field exceed
ed that of the eastern one, but in
that year the output of the east
ern field passed that of the west.
ern and the annual excess has
grown rapidly. In 1911 the ex.
cess for the eastern field was
5,720 tons; in 1912 it was 1872
O96 tons, and in 1918 it was
2,54S, 97S tons. The prospect is
that within another five years
the output of the eastern field
alone will exceed the total pro-
duction for the entire State for
1913.
Statistics Of Industry
There are now approximately
32. 900 persons employed at and
in the coal mines. The number
so employed during 1913 was
30, 1885,
A summary of the details of
production, number of employees,
selling values according to dis
tricts, days worked, accidents,
etc., for 1918 will be ready for
distribution In a few days.
The commercial output was al
most doubled within the last five
years, the gain for 1918 over the
output for 1909 being 9,125, 143
tons.
The rate at which the output
has grown is shown by the fol-
lowing figures, exhibiting the

will have good crop. This applies
especially to the Animas valley where
there has been no fruit failure in
thirty years. The establishment of
the creamery here last year has done
a great deal toward stimulating dairy

by the letting of contracts for a

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 21.-
Navy officials believe that the admin
istration plan to occupy Vera Cruz
almost Immediately. Secretaries Dam
iels and Bryan and their assistants
were in constant communication this
morning. The reason for the haste
is the fact that German ship with
big shipment Of modern field artil-
lery and ammunition for Huerta reach
ed Vera Cruz. Unless the blockade
is Immediately announced and Vera
Cruz seized, the shipment will be pass
ed through the custom house and it
will be impossible for America to
stop it.
Though the house of representa-
tives last night passed the resolution
authorizing the president to use the
land and navy forces, the senate fore
ed a delay, adjourning until today.
Republicans object to the language Of
the resolution and announce they will
insist on a protracted debate. The
administrationists are pleading for
haste, SO the president will be able
to act quickly. There is hope that
the resolution will pass both branches
of congress this afternoon.
If the resolution is adopted it is
practically certain that the Vera Cruz
custom house will be seized. When
asked if he had ordered Fletcher to
seize it, Daniels said: please do not
ask me-" .t-a
