MORE COAL MINED THIS YEAR

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Nov. 10
Many interesting statistics will be con.
tanned in the biennial report OF Earl
Henry. chief Of the West Virginia
mine department. More coal has been
mined In West Virginia this year than
in 1915. Serious accidents have bcen
fewer. Working conditions in the
mines are being rapidly improved m.
til now. according 10 Grief Henry. a
so-called dangerous mine is the ex.
coptiOn rather than the rule. II Is
expected that the total tonnage this
year in the state will reach almost
90.000.O00 tons. There has been or
an average OF one death to every 40.
