Coal Production Report.

In the splint and gas coal fields Of
West Virginia, Logan county stands
second in amount of coal mined in
1914. The figures for 1915 are not yet
available, but it is more than likely
that ii passed Marion county in that
year. If not. it probably would have
done so, despite the fact that most OF
its mines are comparatively new and
that coal from them has had to edge
into market already occupied by
high-grade Goals from other West Vir.
ginia fields, had the carrier furnished
sufficient cars. In fact, the mines op-
Grated in Logan county are capable OF
now producing 100000 tons a year.
And yet not one-half the coal-bearing
area of the county is under develop
ment.
