Y. 8. Prepared to Withstand
Hard Winter Geological
Survey Says
BY HARRY WARD,
HntefhationaY News service.

~ q hard winter comes 1t will
find the American people sitting
pretty with relation TO their coal
supply, Doctor George Otis smith.
director Of the United States
Geological Survey, declared today.
The contributing factors III
bringing about this situation are,
first, the menace Of labor troubles
In the mines has been removed
through the agreements signed by
both the anthracite and bitumin-
Gus producers and miners, insuring
an uninterrupted supply OF coal
and, second. the increasing mum.
Der OF people who store coal DUR
ing the summer season.
The Governments inventory OF
coal stocks taken recently showed
that the. total quantity az soft
coal in the hands OF commercial
consumers on September 1, was
between 42,OO0.O0O and $1,000 900
net tons probably about 1900 900
tons. This estimate based 3on re-
ports from q selected list Of 5000
consumers. does not take into &C.
count the coal In the bins OF
householders. concerning which no
data are available. nor steamship
fuel, nor the tonnage on the Lake
docks.
Retail dealers stocks Of an.
thracite were II per cent larger on
September /, 1924. than they were
on the corresponding date Of 1928.
The production OF anthracite dur.
ing the first eight months Of this
year was steady and during the
summer months the output flowed
into the storage piles Of pro-
ducers, retailers and consumers.
There are no available statistics
on householderss stocks, but pro
duction figures, and retail dealers.
deliveries indicate that they are
normal.
over the country as a whole ii.
dustrial concerns had a fifty-six
days supply of bituminOus coal on
September /. The reserves vary
with the distance from the mine
and the character OF the coal used.
The figures indicate that New
England, Wisconsin and the upper
Peninsula Of Michigan, and the
northern Rocky Mountain region
had e ninety days supply. and
that New York, New Jersey and
the Carolinas had better. than a
Sixty-day supply.
The railroads have a supply OF
coal to last them forty.four days,
while electric light companies have
supplies to last them fifty.eight
days, and manufactured gas plants
had .ninety-day reserve.
Production of bituminous coal Is
averaging around 1000, 900 tons,
per month, while the output Of
anthracite Is slightly beyond
| 1000 900 tons.

"Butte's population was about
3,400 and Ielena's was about 300.
Anaconda was city yet to be. The
population of the entire territory
was something over $4,000.
There was one poor orphan

any rate the enunerators found but
one, and shortly after the count
was completed the eagle-eyed funny
men Of the eastern press spied out
that lonesome William and pro-
ceeded to have fun with him. They
wrote PONIES on him; they lied
about him with joyous abandon.
They printed his picture and an al
legged likeness of the lady from
Erin who owned him. One ro-

sternation in Sioux camp, ending
the wild career of one eventful day

ances which Indians we're causing
among the early settlers, traders
and trappers.
At Miles City, Mr.. Mccoy on his
recent trip to the state was able to
sit before a table lavishly served with
delicacies, near scenes where he
formerly was forced to roast mule
and horse meat over a crude camp
fire. This was his only means of sub
sistance at one time in 1865. The
Indian had been unable to cope with
the deadly gun fire of the eastern
intruders and had used Sioux strate-
gy in driving all wild game ahead of
them in an attempt to starve the mill
tary detachment.
The Twelfth Missouri cavalry was
scheduled to meet the forces of Col
onel Wade at the mouth of the Pow
der river, but was forced to retrace
its course of march when Colonel
Wade's command was not found at
this point, Fort Conner, later named
Fort Reno, on the Powder river, was
finally reached and it was at this
post that the cavalry forces secured
provisions
When the expedition against the
Indians was started, the wagon
trains were joined at Omaha. The
cavalry forces of which Mr.. Mccoy
was member had begun their jour
ney from st. Louis. Buffalo Bill
was selected to guide the outfit and
he rode ahead of the column No
trouble with Indians was encounter
ed during the entire trip to Montana.
Mr.. Mccoy has many thrilling ex-
periences to relate concerning his life
as a pioneer on the Western Plains.

Old Montana Scenes

Fifty-nine years ago, Roger Nc
Coy of Craig, Mo-, was treking his
way across the expanse of plains
and rolling prairies between the
Mississippi river and Montana. Re-
Gently this pioneer, now II, mo-
tored through Montana cities on
his way east from the Pacific coast,
where he has been spending the
past year.
1t was near Miles City and other
points in southeastern Montana that
Mr.. Mccoy spent his early life as a
pioneer in country which was so
new to white men that the Indians
were still employing bows and ar
rows and spears as weapons. In those
days when meat was needed, buffalo
provided that necessity for the lard
er. There were no flour mills or
groceries stores where provisions
could be purchased.
Mr.. Mccoy came to this state with
the Twelfth Cavalry of Missouri.
This detachment had recently been
from service in the civil war
and was sent west to settle griev-

Montana continued as the great

ese ore during 1923 according TO
figures compiled by the interior de.
partment. A total of 21,916 tons OF
ore, assaying 35 per cent. or more,
manganese was produced. This was
more than double the production OF
all the other states producing man
