London, Oct. lS.-The Coal Min

that the estimated output Of the
mines in the United Kingdom for the
year ending July, 1916, amounted 70
zo4,f4S,OOO tons against 25O.36S.O0O
in 1915 and 2S1,l35,OOO in 1914
Some $4,000 miners have Joined the
colors since the outbreak of the war
and 116.90O replaced, leaving a net
reduction of 165,300 There has been
much difficulty in maintaining the
supply of imported pitwood props and
of efforts to provide a substitute of
British grown timber. The war of
flee has agreed to allocate one thou
sand German prisoners in gangs of
one hundred each to the telling and
cutting Of timber, and already 9S5
are at work in approved camps. The
export of coal has been reduced to
the dangerously low figure of 43 mil
lion ions in 1915 from 79 millions in
1913.
