Built in 1890. at Moulmain, by the
old pagoda looking eastward to the
sea, the SUCCESS is now one hundred
and twenty-throe years old. No ship
of anything like her great age today
is seaworthy. yet this old hulk under
her own sail has succeeded In CROSS
Ing the Atlantic, although its time OF
Sc days created no new record.
Massively built throughout OF solid
Burman teak the Success was first
launched as an armed East Indian

guns bristling from its sides. II was
fitted handsomely for the reception
OF princes, nabobs, and the wealthy
traders of the Orient. whose goods,
spices. aromatic teas. worries. jewels.
and other costly luxuries 1t carried
over the seven seas Its tonnage is
$50. and 1t is 1876 feet long and 80
feet beam.
Its solid sides are two feet six
ipches thick at the bilge. and the keel
son is solid teak baulk OF tremen-
dous thickness. with sister keelsons
little less massive. The square cut
stern and quarter galleries at once
stamp the ship with the hallmark OF
antiquity. and its blum bow shows that

the British government to transport

Denyer.-The output OF coke in
Colorado in 1913 was s7s.46l tons.
valued at s2.s15.134. according to e.
w. Parker OF the United States Geo
illogical Survey OF Washington. The
decrease as compared with 1912.
amounting to 9s.4so tons in quantity
and $22S.S6o in value, was due entirely
to labor troubles among the miners,
and not to adverse trade conditions.
The principal disturbances we're in
Las Animas county. the leading coal
producing and coke-making county.
and resulted in decrease in coal pro-
duction of nearly a million tons and
in the whole of the decrease in the
output of coke.
There are fifteen coke-making es-
Establishments In Colorado. which oper-
ate 3,5Ss ovens, all of the beehive
type. Six of the establishments, oper-
ating i26 ovens. were Idle throughout
the year. In addition to these idle
plants. $50 ovens were idle at plants
that made some coke in 1913. so that
the total number of idle ovens was
1.7o6, representing nearly half the
coking capacity of the state. No new
ovens were under construction at the
end OF the year.
| According to returns made to the
Geological Survey. the average value
of Colorado coke advanced from s3.13
ton in 1912 to $500 in 1913. In 1911
the average was $3.50. These fluc-
tuations are, however. more apparent
than real A large proportion of the
coke produced in Colorado is made in
ovens which are parts OF plants. in
cluding in their operations coal min
ing, coke making and the manufacture
of iron and steel, or the smelling and
refining of the precious and base met
ais. For such plants the placing of a
value on the coke produced is an ar
bitrary matter and does not represent
market prices. Only about thirty per
cent of the total output of Colorado in
| 1918 was commercial coke.
