contributed over SO per cent of the
total coal production of the United
States, and the state still produces
As and SO per cent of the total.
There was a decided gain in 1913
in the number of working days made
by the employees in Pennsylvania in
both the anthracite and bituminous
mines, the former making an aver
age of PSF days, compared with 231
days in 1912, and the latter 267
days. compared with 252 days in
1912. The anthracite mines gave
employment to 175,745 men and the
bituminous mines to 172,196 men.
The unusually large number of
working days enabled the miners to
make exceptionally high records,
the bituminous workers mining an
average for the year of 1000 tons
each and the anthracite miners 522
tons.
1t is pretty generally conceded by
those interested in the production of
anthracite that the limit of annual
production has about been reached
and that the yearly output will re-
main fairly constant until the period
of decline begins. Anthracite as a
manufacturing fuel has been elimi-
mated, and the increasing use of coke
and gas for domestic purposes in the
territory supplied by anthracite coal
is approximately keeping step with
the increase in population.
Anthracite mining began between
1890 and 1900, when a small guam
THY was produced for local consump-
ton. To the close of 1913 the pro-
durtion of anthracite had amounted
to PISA, 500,00O long tons, or q
446.696,O1O short tons.
The first records of the production
of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
cover the year 1910, when 464,S26
short tons was mined. The output
of bituminous coal from 1910 to the
close of 1913 has amounted to p
731,945,059 short tons, from which
it appears that the total production
of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
now exceeds that of anthracite by
over 200, 600, 900 tons.

PENNSYLVANIA MINES ONE.FIFTH OF
The WORLDS PRODUCTION OF COAL

Pennsylvania mined more coal in
1913, both anthracite and bitumin-
Gus, than in any previous year in the
history of the industry, according to
a statement just issued by the Unit
ed States gelog1cai survey from fg-
ures compiled by E. w. Parker in
cooperation with state officials. The
production reached the enormous to-
tai of 265,306,139 short tons, valued
at the mines at s9SS,220,033. OF
this. 91,524.927 tons was anthracite,
valued at $195,1S1,127, and 49,
7S1,217 tons was bitiminous or soft
coal. valued at $193,O39,SO The
total tonnage broke the previous rec
ord for 1912 by 19,079,053 short
tons. or nearly s per cent, the proper
tionate increase being about the same
for both anthracite and bituminous.
The gain in the value of anthracite,
however, was $17,55S,5O1, or about
10 per cent, over 1912 and in BIZ
luminous coal $23,669,30O, or IA
per cent. The total gain over 1919
was $41,227,S10, or nearly IL per
cent.
The magnitude of the coal mining
industry in Pennsylvania, as repre-
scented by the output of the anthra-
cite and bituminous mines, is prob
ably little realized. The combined
production of 265, 3O6,139 short tons
in 1913 exceeded by more than 20
per cent the total production Of the
United States in 1898, only Is years
previous. 1t exceeded that of any
other country except Great Britain
and Germany, and approached within
less than 10 per cent of Germany's
output. 1t was nearly five times the
production of the Austro-Hungarian
empire, nearly six times that OF
France, nine times that of Russia
and Finland, and ten times that Of
Belgium. 1t was equal to nearly 20
per cent of the worlds total produc-
ton and exceeded the combined out
put of all the countries of the world
other than Great Britain, Germany
and the United States. From 1923
to and including 1900 Pennsylvania

There are more coal-producing
counties in Illinois than in any other
state in the union, half of the 1O2
counties in the state being or having
been producers.
Until 1909 Illinois ranked second
in Importance among the coal-pro-
ducing states, but in that year she
dropped behind West Virginia and
will probably remain the third state
in coal-producing Importance. In
1913 West virginia's output exceed
ed that of Illinois by approximately
II 1000, 900 tons.
The increased efficiency of the
labor employed in the coal mines of
Illinois manifested in 1912 continued
In 1913 and was due chiefly to the
larger quantity obtained through the
use of mining machines. In 1913 the
average production per miner was
rs tons, against 767 tons in 1912
and 1O1 IONS in 1911. The quantity
of coal mined by machines increased
from 26,S7S,049 tons. or 44.9 per
cent of the total in 1912, to 32.6SO,-
$50 tons, or 90 per cent. in 1913. 1t
is gratifying to note a corresponding
decrease in the quantity of coal shot
off the solid. In 1912 the quantity
of coal mined by powder was "a
136,94O tons. or 40 per cen of tn,
total, and in 1913 it was 20,469,139
tons, or 33 per ZEN of the total. The
prevalence of solid shooting in the
coal mines adds materially to the
hazardous character of the miners
occupation and seriously impairs the
quantity of the product. The trade
upon which the mines of Illinois de-
pend demands principally screened
coal, with little SAFE for the slack or
screenings except at greatly reduced
prices. Shooting off the solid adds
largely to the percentage of the slack
coal and increases the friability of
the product, which comes from the
mines in Jumps but breaks down
rapidly in handling. 1t is believed
that with the increased use of coal
cutting machinery within a few years
little coal will DE mined in Illinois
without having been previously UNI
dercut or sheared. The fat-lying
character of the Illinois coal beds is
favorable to machine mining, and
there appears to be no good reason
for permitting solid shooting to con-
tinue.

dent of the Nevada-Douglas company,
| who has just returned from Boston,
where he has been consulting with
the company officials and STOCKHOLM
ers, reports that the installing OF tie
5OO-ton unit of the new teaching
| plant will begin at once and work
rushed until completed. Grading has
already commenced on the sidetarck
leading to the site of the plant and
| will be completed in a few days. The
company is going to make the plant
much larger to start with han was at
first contemplated, the success of the
experimental plant having lead them
to this decision. The working
of 500 tons of ore a day in this unit
of the plant will mean much to the
district and be very likely to induce
other companies to put in plants of
this nature, while !. is I %foregone
conclusion that the Ncvada-DolSlas
plant will soon be increased to two
or four times the initial capacity.
This will mean employment of many
more men in the district which rteans
larger ~payrolls and more mony in
circulation.
Work of installing the new mill at
the old Rockland mine, just south
of Pine Grove, is being pushed with
energy. Several people interested in

l. s. REVENUE Gutter SERVICE



Today forty-three armed cut
ters, tugs and launches,
manned by 1928 officers and
enlisted men, are securing the
seas as Uncle Sans watch
dogs of the sea-" The major
ity are stationed along the
coast of the United States
ready to steam where duty
calls. One may be going to
sea to blow up a derelict that
has become dangerous to navi-
CATION; another searching a
ship for smuggled goods or ex-
aiming her sailing papers;
while a third may be on the
way to suppress mutiny or pi-
racy, or to enforce neutrality
laws of American ports. The
revenue cutter officer is en-
powered to enforce nearly ev-
cry law bearing upon the mari
time interests. They protect
the seal fisheries of Alaska and
patrol the coast in search OF
vessels in distress during the
winter months. Under a e
cent regulation they patrol
the transatlantic lane of trav-
ell to warn all vessels of any
nation of the danger of float
ing ice bergs, such as the one
that sank the Titanic. They
enforce quarantine regula-
tons; they patroled the coasts
of four southern states which
were suffering under an cpl
demic of yellow fever in 1905.
They penetrate to the Arctic
regions to bring succor to
stranded whaling ships. It
was in 1879 that a cutter
raced through a thousand
miles of ice packs to rescue
whalers frozen in at Point
Barrow before they starved to
death. For this explOint con-
gress passed a resolution of
thanks.

THEN

IHEN-"d
One hundred and twenty
four years ago today George
Washington signed the con-
gressional act which establish
ed the United States revenue
cutter service. 1t thus became
the first maritime force of the
American republic. Fifteen
months later there we're ten
revenue cutters afioat, officer
ed by veterans of the old
continental navy. These ves-
sells constituted the only arm
ed force af1oat belonging to
the United States for the fol-
lowing six years. Their du-
ties were to patrol the coast,
extending in those days from
Maine to Georgia, to prevent
smuggling, and to enforce the
few maritime laws existing in
the United States. Organized
under the treasury department,
it remained in the discretion
of the president to send them
to war under the navy. Fight
ing French p%rivateers in 1898,
the revenue cutters captured
eighteen of the twenty-five
prizes taken by the United
States. In the war of 1872
they captured the first prize
ship and fought %gallantly
throughout the war; one of
the cutters accompanied the
naval expedition against Para
quay in 1858. During the CIV
il war they fought with the
navy and helped to maintain
the blockade of southern ports.
In the Spanish-American war
a revenue cutter accompanied
Dewey into Manila bay, while
the crew of another won con-
gressional medals for its spec
tacular rescue of Ensign Bag
ley's helpless torpedo boat at
Cardenas, Cuba.

VIENNA, Aug. 3.-In the month
\ since the tragedy by which the Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, heir-appar-
ent to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
was removed by an assassin Bosnia,
a remarkable phase of the changed
conditions is the wave of popularity
now raging about his young nephew
who suddenly finds himself confront
ed with the prospect of soon being
mpe of Austria and king OF Hun
gary. With the venerable Emperor
Francis Joseph now in his eighty
fourth year, it is certain the actuary
cannot allow him a very long lease
of life.
AS the new heir-apparent, Arch
duke Carl Francis Joseph, appears
already to have won a more affection
ate regard from his people than his
uncle had, and quite as warm a place
in the hearts OF many as his great
uncle enjoys. Everybody seems
proud of him and confident OF his
future success as a ruler.
AL lW0Ity-oCNSh Soho
finds himself with little more than a
military training. He was only a
Junior regimental officer when the
news of his uncle's death reached
him. Now he will turn to statecrafl
and in the time that may be allowed
him, try to acquaint himself with Tor
eign and domestic affairs.
Archduke Carl Francis Joseph is
described as an officer through and
through. In his army work there
has been nothing of the archduke
about him. He has worked and
studied and learned and observed and
done his duty in every way without
for one moment claiming or desiring
anv special consideration on accOunt
of his rank. Indeed he would have
been very much surprised if anybody
had suggested that he should ne
shown any extraordinary favors or
preference.
He began as a cavalry lieutenant
and was most popular among his
comrades who never felt that an i'm
Horldl ulSuutSS anu lueuiS
was in their corps. He performed
his duties with the utmost e~Xactness
and was just as punctilious in his
behaviour to the senior officers as
n young subaltern. No duty was
too small. He carried out the rou-
tine work most carefully and when
he heard of his young comrades
grumbling would merely ay: What
do you expect-orders are orders.
IGoing later into the infantry, the
t...chduke has always looked back IN
his service in the cavalry as the most
delightful time in his life. He was
proud to ride into a new garrison
at the head of his squadron and IL
was generally said in the regiment
that the officers of his squadron had
the best time of any. He was hos
pitable to a high degree and none
the less so after his marriage with
the Princess Zita of Parma, who is
lust as well liked as her husband.
When she accompanied him to his
garrison she came as a simple junior
officers wife and not as an arch
duchess. She went and called upon
the wives of all the officers senior in
rank to the archduke instead of wait

WITHDRAW CHARGES
AGAINST WIN. SULzER
AND JOHN HENNESSY

New York, Feb. 26.-The charge that
William Sulzer. former governor, and
John A. Hennessy, who was his graft
investigator, were in league with the
state highways department to favor
certain asphalt contractors as against
others, was withdrawn today at a
hearing before James w. osborne,
Governor Glynns investigator. Henry
A. Rubino, attorney for the Warner
Quinlan Asphalt CO., announced he
was unable to substantiate the allie
cation.
Rubino refused, however, to with
draw charges that a $2500 eontribu-
ton from the Barber Asphalt Co.,
competitor, passed from Hennessy to
Sulzer.
I'VE will not" said 2ubino. with
draw that charge that certain mon
eys passed between James X. NC
Guire and Hennessy and Sulzer on Au-
gust is last for certain purposes.
That's what we want you to prove" "
shouted Hennessy.
Hennessy added that he would take
action against Rubino in connection
with asphalt contracts. Rubino re-
torted by daring Hennessy to do so,
and the proceedings were in an up
roar. Hennessy protested against Ru-
bino being permitted to withdraw any
of his charges. saying 1t would take
away the basis for civil suit. CON, :,
missioner Osborne said he believed
Hennessy would still have ground for
action, and said he understood that
Gov. Glynn intended to have Hennessy
and others tried before court at law.
Yes, the Governor, too, will be held
accountable said Hennessy. He will
have to fight his own battle on this'
Hennessy took the stana today and
testified regarding this money. He ex-
planned that ultimately it became part
of the citizens fund raised to finance
Governor Sujzer's graft inquiry after
the Legislature had failed to appro-
pirate the amount desired by Sulzer
for the purpose.
