COAL OUTPUT IN
TEXAS IS HEAVY
Production in 1914 Less
Than in 1913, but Larger
Than Any Other Year.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE
amount of coal produced in Texas in
1914 was 2,323,773 short tons, valued at
the mines at S5.922. 459-
The coal production Of the state is
nearly evenly divided between Ignite
and bituminous coal, the balance being
slightly in favor Of the bituminOus.
With the exception Of the production
IN 1913, the production in 1919 was the
largest on record, according to figures
compiled by c E Lesher, Of the United
States geological surrey. The total
production in 1914 was less than in
1913 by 1o5,37l tons. or 4-S4 percent, in
quantity and 1856, 461, or S.54 percent,
in value. Most Of the decrease in ton
mage was in the Ignite output which
in 1914 was Ll05,613 tons and in 1913
was 1.1S1,156 tons, a difference OF 95.-
543 tons. whereas the OUTPUT Of blum
nous coal, 21S,16O tons in 1914 and
1,241.9SS tons in 1913-decreased but
asses tons. In value. however, the
bituminous coal decreased much more
than the Ignite
Decrease Due to Petroleum.
The decreased production of both
bituminous coal and Ignite in 1914 IS
attributed to the great increase in the
production Of petroleum in Texas and
Oklahoma, which because OF its drop in
price, after a record breaking produc-
tion, has displaced a considerable
amount Of coal and Ignite as fUel,
both on the railroads and in the in
dustries.
The coal mines of Texas were not en-
tirely free from labor troubles in 1914,
as 220 men were on strike during the
year with an average Of three days
each of lost time.
Ignite Mined by Hand.
Most of the Ignite produced in Texas
is mined by hand. and Of the bitumin-
Gus coal produced nearly one-half is
shot off the solid The use OF mining
machines has not made much progress
in the state, and those that are en-
ployed are in the bituminOus mines
The quantity OF coal shot off the solid
in 1914 was 612,15S tons, or 26 percent
Of the total
Washing plants have been installed
at the mines at Eagle Pass in order
to improve the quality of coal sent TO
market. In 1914 the quantity Of coal
washed was 23.604 tons. which yield
ed 19,440 tons Of cleaned coal

SnICIOUS ORE FROM LIVE OAK
TUNNEL IS USED IN CONVERTERS

Miami, Ariz, June 11.-At the Live
YAK, division work IS being prose-
cuted IN small way at the old silica
tunnel workings, where silicious ore is
Delng mined at the rate Of about So
tons per day The ore is being
trammed from the silica tunnel
dumped from a trestle directly into a
railroad car and sent over the Ari-
iona Eastern tracks TO the Interna-
Ional smelter. At the smelter the ore
IS used in the converters, which are
of the basic type
In former smelling practice the con-
verters We're lined with silicious (acin
material, and during the process of
converting matte into blister copper
the acid material required for the
charge was obtained at the expense Of
the converter lining, and consequently
the life Of the lining was short. and
much Of the converter departments
time was consumed in placing Innings.
Now Lined With MaEnesite Brick
The present method is to line the
converter with magnesite brick which
is basic and UNATTACHED by the charge
material The necessary silica for the
operation is obtained BY adding the
crushed silica directly to the charge,
and thus the life OF the converter lin
ing is greatly increased
At the main shafts fork is being
pushed vigorously so that hosting
operations can begin in one shaft. at
all events, during the month of July.
