Ignite Mined in State in
1916
1916

North Dakota's 1915 coal produc'
ton exceeded a half-million tons
the greatest in the history of the
state. In 1908, State Engineer Bliss
reports show, 65 coal mines operated
in North Dakota, producing 320, 742
tons of Ignite. In 1915 there were
1877 mines, producing 5S6,116 tons. OF
the 1877 producers reporting in 1915,
115 were underground mines. The
average number of men employed in
1915 was 730. During the winter
months $50 were engaged in the in
dustry, and 500 were employed in the
summer. The daily output per man
averaged 3.S9 tons. One fatal and
fourteen non-fatal accidents were re-
ported in 1915. In other words. every
hundred thousand tons of Ignite pro.
duced cost Observation-Disclosures Of

price was s1.57 per ton; 366,331 tons
of Ignite were shipped, and 219,7S5
tons were sold to the local trade.
