The pro- duction for the year just past is} laced at 1,057.8, tons and the value at $2,782,771.2f. ‘ Records for' the production of lig- nite coal begin with the year 1911. By y they are given in the mine inspector's report as follows: 1911 602,628 499,480 295,320 506,685 528,078 634,912 . 790,548 813,000 -783,694 + 878,969 895,715 : + 1,057,823 » steady growth in production ite coal is accompanied by an ein the number of men em- d, although improved machinery o been a factor in increased production.

Each year finds a{ n y of mines worked out and hondoned and new mines opened to! take their places. We are pleased to note that a number of new mines have commenced operating during t past year and that a number of other operations are contemplated. In view of this fact, we look for am. increased production in this state for the coming year. MINE RESCUE CAR IN GITY Has Been Used in First Aid Teaching in This Section a { A mine rescue car of the U.S. Bu- reau of Mines, W. H. Carrick, engi- neer in charge, is in the Soo yards in Bismarck after a trip in this sec- tion. Unless it is necessary to send the car to Minneapolis for repairs, because of frozen pipes, it will re- main here until Jan, 2. The car is one of 10 operating ia mining districts in the Unted’States> The staff of five with the car train miners in the first aid and rescue work, aid in putting out mine fires, “and respond. to calls in case of dis-; aster. | ‘The car was at Haynes, N. D. for! three weeks recently fighting a fire; in the mine of the Haynes Coal Min-' ing Co. The fire was extinguished | by use of chemicals, etc, and cut- | ting out burning areas. Recently the car has been at Scranton, Williston, Noonan, Bur- lington, Garrison, Wilton. It may go to Zap soon where exhibitions in mine rescue work will be given. John Hanwell, state mining inspector, has been cooperating in the work. BILLTOGIVE | | MOTHER RIGHTS HELD BY FATHER The women of the state may be; expected to solidly back the bill pre- pared by the North Dakota Children’s Code Commission which would give a mother equal rights with a father in the control of their children. This bill is to be introduced in the legis- lature next month. The present law in North Dakota gives the father the control of his children, his claims being prior and superior to those of | the mother. The amendment propos- ed by the Code commission is in line with the nation and world wide move- ment to give women full equality with men, it is declared, and is a most important step in the move- ment in this state, The proposed bill reads; “A father and mother of a legiti- mate, unmarried, minor child are en- titled equally to its custody, serv- jces and earnings, and that neither can transfer such custody, services | or earnings to another person.” “FRIEND” PROVES TO BE COSTLY fs |bank, will be held tomorrow at B jmarck before U. |John Fort, according to Judge S.

Clark of American City Bureal Leaves for \ Chicago The reorganization campa'gn of the old Commercial club came to an official close w.th the departure to- day of Blair M. Clerk, representa- tive of the American City Bureau, for Chicago. In the last few weeks since the recrganizaticn spec‘alists came .to Bismarck a great change has taken place, in the opinion of many busi- ness men. Not.only has the club membersh'p been ‘enlarged, but the spirit is better. Petty differ nces were put aside and all worked to- gether for'a common purpose. Many men who have not, been active in community work are now in the arness. The organization of the new As- sociation of :Cemmerce is now com- pleted. except for the selectijon of a secretary. Although the representa- tives of the American City Bureau have left the city, the bureau w:ll keep :n closé cbntact with the local organization for the next three years through visits and correspond- ence, mainta ning an advisory “and: supervisory relation to the associa- tion. Mr. Clerk returned to the head- quarters of the American City Bu- reau. He may return later to Far- go. The éxcept'cnal record made in Bismarck caused the Fargo Commer- cial club to decide’ upon the same sort of reorgan‘zation campaign. RAILROADS HELD LIABLE FOR FOREST FIRES Duluth.
