THE TOLL ROAD.

THE TOLL ROAD.
On the road to Drowsytown. the
shadows loom ahead
Toward where - the dying twilight
glows with fading gold and red,
And tiny creatures of the wood peep
out between the trees
And listen to the slumber songs Of
little droning bees.
And when one travels on that road,
the troubles of the day
Dissolve among the purple mists
and vanish quite away.
Beside the road to Drowsytown are
clear and crystal streams
That tumble down the rocky hills 70
find the Lake O Dreams
The Lake o. Dreams that you can
find IL you will follow on
And sail away in silver boats, until
the break of dawn.
And not a worry in the world. and
not a single care
Can overtake a little child who goes
a-sailing there.
Down the road TO Drowsytown the
little children go,
Rank on rank and file on file, and
row on marching row;
They start away at S o'clock and
anyway by nine
They ought 10 reach the shadow Of
the magic mountain pine,
And climb among its friendly limbs.

COAL PRODUCTION
IN STATE LOWER;
NO FAMINE SEEN
Especial correspondence to The JournaI0

NSpecmI correspondence 10 iHe JOuruhIJ
Santa Fe, May 25.-W. w Ris-
done, Albuquerque, state mine in
spector, today estimated the coal
production for the state for 1921
at 100000 tons unless the mines
speed UP between now and the end
Of the year.
His estimate is more than
100000 tons below the peak Of
production reached by the mines
in 1917 and the lowest since for
the last thirteen years.
Mr.. Risdon said, however, he
didn't believe there would be any
fuel famine as the coke demand
had practically vanished when the
copper mines closed down and the
railroad consumption had fallen
off greatly. The railroads and the
mining companies are the biggest
consumers in the state.
Mr.. Risdon came here from
Dawson and said the St. Louis
Rocky Mountain and Pacific mines
were working only three days per
week and the Stag Canyon branch
mines the same. In the Gallup
field, he said, the bigger mines
were averaging only two days and
the smaller ones were closed down.
For the last five years these mines
have been working seven days per
week.
There are many minors out of
employment and owing to the fact
that they can't find work else

ing camps.
