BIG INCREASE in COAL YIELD.

Lexington. KY, Jan. 5.-The 1916
coal output of Kentucky probably ex-
ceeded 25,106,50o tons, according to the
annual report of the State Department
Of Mines, completed to-day.
The northeastern district, including
Boyd. Breathitt, Carter, Floyd, Jackson,
Johnson, Lawrence, Letcher. Morgan.
Perry and Pike counties, was in the
lead with more than 100000 tons,
with the western and southeastern fol-
lowing in order.
Car and labor shortage resulted in
decrease of probably two or two and
one half million tons. said Dean Nor
wood.
This years output, however. will ex-
coed that of 1915 by approximately A.
100000 tons Kentucky was fifth last
year as coal producing State, and
with prospects of a large tonnage in
Ohio again this year, will probably re-
main in that position.
