1t has been our custom ever since
the Pilot was first issued in 1880, to
publish report at the end of each
year. giving a report of the mine pro-
ducts for this portion of Gunnison
county. Previous to that time there
was no mine output of any kind, as
that time really dates the commence
ment of the development of this
country and antedates the coal and
coke output by two years. BY refer
ing to the files Of the Pilot one can
find a better history and record OF
this section than can be found any
where. This year is no exception to
the established rule. and below will
be found the most accurate report Of
the output Of coal. coke and silver.
which is really very useful for the
statistician and all others interested.
Without further comment. we will
here give you the figures on coal and
coke product:
