FARMER MINES MAY
REAP BIG HARVEST
In COAL SITUATION

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 1s.-Farmer
mines, of which there are hundreds In
central and western North Dakota, are
expected to reap a. harvest from the
strike. II Governor. Frazier does not
include their properties with the larg-
er industrial mines which he is seiz-
Ing in behalf of the state. The farmer
mines usually are operated by the
owner and a neighborg or two. and they
seldom dig more than twenty or thirty
Q a day, but their combined volume
OF production is very large. In many
instances the owner of such q, mine
permits his neighbors to do their own
dstAangsaAnd charges them .o11vrs5Uss to
- centsssper ton. 1t Is believed that
these mines could easily increase pro-
ductton to a point where they would
make up for the shortage resulting
from the closing of the largeFcommer-
cial mines by order Of President Dren-
nan Of the United Mine Workers for
the 9th district.

CAPITAL FACES
COAL SHORTAGE &c
Bismarck Dealers Are Get
ting Dangerously Near to
Bottoms Of Coal Bins.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 13.-The be-
ginning of a prospective coal shortage
was felt in Bismarck Monday when
local dealers with the exception of the
Beulah and Medora coal distributors
found themselves without q ton Of coal
to meet h demands of their Gus
toners. SNE
With shipments from mines where
the walkout is completely at a stand
still and with practically only one
mine supplying the needs of the city
the demand and consumption of lig-
mite fuel far exceeded the supply and
receipt of shipment.
AS the strike period lengthens and
&of the continual cold weather
greatly increasing the normal con-
sumption of fuel the coal shortage be-
comes more acute, and it Is predicted
that before the end Of the present
week, unless production Of Ignite once
more becomes normal. the situation in
the city will be very grave. r
81 Carloads Since Strike.
Since the beginning of the strike in
North Dakota last week about FL car
loads of Beulah coal have been re-
ceived and n car of Ignite from Me.
dora with probably not more than five
carloads from mines tied up reprel
senting all of the supply of those
mines up to the time the men went
on strike. OF these receipts, four r
loads went to the ~penitentiary, eleven
to the Hughes Electric Co.. six to
Watcher Transfer Co.. one to the City
Fuel Co, and the balance to the
Washburn Coal, Co, and smaller deal
crs. H.. !,
On this basis there were 800 tons
for delivery to small consumers Of
which approximately one-half was de-
ready stored in bins and the greatly
reduced daily shipments from the one
Independent mine still operating will
not last more thai two weeks at the
most. In case Of a prolonged strike,
coal consumers in the city would be
compelled to considerably reduce, their
daily consumption in order to have
any fuel to urn at the end of next
week, -
