D, .D,IN 1921: Was nan ee Tons More Than © That Mined a Year Ago i 436 MORE MEN EMPLOYED) Miners Worked An Average Of 121 Days to Produce This Coal North Dakota’ came close to rank-/ ing with the states producing a mil; lion tons-of coal for the year closing Oct. 31, 1921, according to the report of Mine Inspector John Hanwell, sub- mitted to Governor R. A. Nestos re- cently, The total amount of coal mined in the state in the period was 895,715. This amount, was an increase over the amount mined for the pre- ceeding annual period of 16,746 tons. The added. production gave work to 436 additional.men. The valuation of the 1921 coal over that of 1920 was $297,116.10. The report for this year covered the operations of 128 mines, fourteen more than reported for a year ago. While a large number of new mines were opened in the state during the period, few of them reached the stage where} their production affected the output to @ large extent and the state increase of 16,000 tons is largely from. the well. established mines. In producing this coal, miners worked: an average of 121 days, or practically one day.for each three throughout -the> year. One of the interesting sidelights in the report is the number of mines employing a‘single miner, twenty-two of these being listed. Some of these onejmpnl.mines, however, are not re- ported as producing coal. The Wein- andy, Coal Company with 288 days work for its one miner and 1,261 tons produced is the largest in output. The Bowman Coal Company with 240 days} work for its single nfiner and an out- put of 784 tons stands second. t In contrast to the one man mines, | the pit at Washburn, declared by many} to be the largest lighite mine in the} United States produced 240,804. ton H , valued at three quarters ofa million | dollars, ‘while :the mine at Beulah andi the Lucky Strike-mine had’ 66, 618" and 54,450, resp Conditions in ‘the mines are gener- ally reported as good in the report of} While ‘the records of not consideréd as com-} plete becatise the records of the mine inspectors office were destroyed in the burning of the Northwest hotel, once the ‘Sheridan house, four fatal ace:-| dents occurred: during the year.
