COAL MINES ARE
DOING THIR BIT
DAILY OUTPUT OF COAL BREAKS
ALL RECORDS TO MEET THIS
YEARS DEMAND.

So much is being said about the
shortage of bituminous coal and the
general pnbIic realizes so little the
important gains in output made by
the operators under trying conditions
last summer, over all previous records,
that the statement just issued by the
United States Geological Survey. De-
parment of the Interior, on production
In 1917 compared with 1916 is particu-
LARRY timely In commenting on this
report prepared by the statisticians
of the Geological Survey, Director
Geo. Otis Smith points out that the
shortage is due to the failure of the
soft-coal mines to produce more coal
than in the past, for the country on
September l was about month ahead
of last year in output and is expected
to finish the year with an increase of
10 per cent over 1916, the banner
year, and of 25 per cent over 1915
The tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year has created a demand for
soft coal in excess of any in the past
an increase in demand that is difficult
to measure in terms of tons but that
is certainly more than the 10 per cent
by which production has increased
To meet this demand the mines have
been producing soft coal at rate
never before eQualed. In the second
week of July, 1917, the average daily
production was more than 100000
tons. the highest point yet attained
in the middle of August the lowest
rate for the summer, 1884, eco tons
was recorded: and in the last week OF
September the daily rate was 1928
900 tons. In the first eight months
of 1917 the output Of soft coal was
363 800 900 tons, or 37OOO,O0O tons
more than in the first eight months
of 1916. In the same period ship
ments Of anthracite increased 16 per
cent over those of 1916
