This has been year of more than the ordin-

Carbon county, named for its great deposits of
coal and hydrocarbons, will by the close of the
present calendar year Q916) have produced fully
four million tons of coal. And, had it not been
for the great car famine throughout all this
western country, the amount would go much in
excess of the figures given. Emery and Grand
county mines, of which there are two producers,
one at Mohrland and the other at Neslen, tapped
by the Denver and Rio Grande system, will add
to this on an average Of six hundred tons day
for the twelve months, making grand total for
Eastern Utah Of close to 100000 tons. At two
dollars a ton, which is a fair average net to the
producers at the mines, II will be seen that
around $s.400.0OO Is close TO coal company earn
