26 COAL AND TIMBER March, 1905 COAL PRODUCTION FELL. Twelfth and Thirteenth Anthracite Districts Show Decrease. Mine Inspectors M. J. Brennan and John Curran, of Pottsville, representing the Twelfth and Thirteenth anthracite mining districts, have filedtheir reports for the past year. In the former district there was produced a total of 2,961,468 tons, which, compared with the production of the previous year, 3,498,306 tons, show a decrease. The production of the Philadelphia and Reading collieries in this district was 1,762,274 tons, as against 1,818,592 tons for the previous year. In the Thirteenth district, the total production for last year was 3,066,770 tons as against 3,476,312 tons for the previous year. The decrease in this district was due principally to the fact that Kaska William colliery, a large operation in the Schuylkill valley, worked but 125 days, and the Morea colliery but 135 days. JANUARY COKE PRODUCTION. The January record in coke production compared favorably with the month of December of last year and encouragingly well as compared to January of 1904. The estimated production of January, 1905. amounted to 1,108,551 tons as compared to 1,020,340 tons in December last year, and 686,020 tons in January, 1904. The shipments were not up to the high record of production last month but were greatly in excess of the shipments for December and January of last year. The estimates for January show a shipment of 1,015,626 tons as compared to 923,416 tons for December and 695,648 tons for January of 1904. The Masontown field last month sent out 236,303 tons as compared to 216,176 tons in December and 106,240 tons for January of last year. Furnace production for January shows an equal-if not a better gain than the coke trade. The American Manufacturer's report for January shows a net increase in active furnaces of 16 for the month and a net weekly increase in furnace productin of 24,812 tons. On February 1, there were 279 blast furnaces in operation with a weekly capacity of 417,607 tons as compared to an active list of 263 furnaces on January 1 with a weekly capacity of 392,790 tons. The steady growth in production of iron and coke the past few months indicates the better condition the business of the country is in. Exceptionally strong claims are being made by many authorities of still better gains for the year but it is a guess as to just how much better it is possible for the trade to become. The season for real consumption is not on yet and buying at this time to say the best is largely contingent upon future consumption. There has been a perceptible showing up in the buying of iron in the past few days with a considerable lowering of values. The tardy buying in iron stocks has not been reflected in the demand for coke but prices in the lesser grades of coke are showing a weakened condition. The past few weeks it has been a question of getting coke at most any price demanded. While there are no large stocks reported in the furnace yards there has been some hesitancy in paying the price demanded for coke from the outlaying fieldshas fallen off to the extent of 50 cents per ton. With spring weather train movement will improve and coke supply greatly increase. The spring months will probably much lower values in coke and probably iron lines as well. BALTIMORE & OHIO. Said to Discriminate Against Ohio Operators. Is the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad discriminating against the coal operators on the C. L. & W. division of the road, in favor of the operators of West Virginia? This is a question that the operators are discussing. If the railroad is guilty the matter will be reported to President Roosevelt. It is said that the B. & O. hauls West Virginia coal over the C. L. & W. division to the northern trade. During this time the coal operators on the C. L. & W. have not been given sufficient cars to fill their orders. What does the railroad do with the empty cars? It is claimed that they have the empty cars brought back over the main line of the B. & O. west of Bellaire, in order that the operators on the C. L. & W. division will not know the railroad has them. If such discrimination can be proved by the coal men on the C. L. & W, the B. & O. railroad will be up against a proposition that is new in this territory. OHIO MINES Must Have Two Openings. A very important matter for all mining interests in the state was referred by Ohio State Mine Inspector Harrison to Attorney General Ellis. The Ohio law says that all shaft mines except new ones which are to be connected with other mines by underground workings, and. in which more than 20 men are employed, shall have at least two openings. Mr. Harrison's interpretation of the statute is that no mine can be operated with but a single shaft where more than 20 men are employed. If the attorney general sustains this view of it and the law so interpreted is enforced by the State inspector, it will result in the closing of a number of mines in the northeastern part of the state, where practically all of the mines are shaft mines. RECEIVER APPOINTED. C. F. Evans Takes Charge of the Ruthven Company's Property. Action for a receiver for the Ruthven Coal Company was filed in the common pleas court February 18, on request of the National Fuel Company. The petition asserts that the company owes debts amounting to $10,000 and that its royalties are becoming due. The company is unable to pay these royalties and for that reason is in grave danger of losing its lease upon the mines in Jackson county. An account of $1,600 is also said to be due working miners. Judge Dillon upon a hearing of the petition appointed C. F. Evans receiver upon a bond of $10,000. This company was formed but a short time ago. The petition claims an amount of $326.02 due against the company. FREEPORT COAL. Director of Geological Survey Describes Lower Vein in This District. In a communication to Representative E. F. Acheson, Director Charles D. Walcott of the Geological Survey, Washington, D. C, throws some important light on the character of a vein of coal located about 500 feet below the Pittsburg coal that has attracted considerable attention in Washington county. Mr. Walcott says that although it is generally inferior to the Pittsburg coal in some localites it can be profitably worked. In his letter Mr. Walcott says: "The coal referred to is undoubtedly what is known as the Upper Freeport. In oil and gas wells in Washington county it is the principal coal noted by the drillers below the Pittsburg bed, and occurs at an average depth of 650 feet below the Pittsburg vein. This interval, however, varies from 600 to 700 feet in the Amity quadrangle. The one other coal in this interval has been noted in a few wells only, and occasionally reaches a thickness of 3 feet, but is believed to be of little or no economic value. "On account of its great depth we have at present no means of knowing the quality of the coal beneath Amwell township. The nearest outcrops are in the valley of the Youghiogheny river and Jacobs creek, 5 to 8 miles northeast of Connellsville. Where known in that region the Upper Freeport varies in thickness from 3 to 7 feet and it is often a good workable coal. It contains, however, considerably more sulphur than the Pittsburg bed. In the vicinity of Amwell township little is known regarding thickness. —The Moorhead Coal Co., of Brownsville, Pa., have sold their holdings of 3,000 acres of coal land situated near Wheeling. W. Va., to eastern capitalists for $360,000
