A[[ RECORDSBROKEN | Zatest Picture of the Czar, Russian Army Commander BY COAL PRODUCTION 570,048,125 Short Tons Mined in This Gountry in 1913. ‘Washington, July 31.—The produc- stion of coal in the United States has gain broken all previous records, he output for 1913 being 570,048,- | 136; short tons, which is considerably |more than double the production of 11900 and more than eight times the . {groduction of 1880, according to a | statement just issued by the United States Geological survey. The value 'of the coal mined in 1913 is given a8 $760,488,785. . Compared with the previous year titd output for 1913 shows an in- ‘érease of 35,581,545 tons, or nearly “4 per cent. The increased activity {ndicated by these figures was well dis- 2. tributed throughout the twenty-nine ' eoal producing states, twenty-three of #vhich showed increases and only six " decreased production, the decrease in Lone of these, Colorado, being due splely to labor trouble. Of those .ghowing increase.twelve made record \/¥ields and Pennsylvania, the leading i coal state broke records in both bi- tuminous and anthracite production. ) & The. states which broke all former records. in coal production were Ala- bama, Illinois, ‘Kentucky, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Penn- sylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia and est Virginia. Bituminous in Pennsylvania. " The largest increase in the produc- tion of bituminous coal was in Penn- \svlvania, where 11,915,729 tons was added to the output of 1912. West 'Wirginia -showed the second largest gain, 4,522,295 tons, and Kentucky the third largest gain, 3,126,079 tons, /which was also the largest percentage 8¢, increas, amounting to 19 per cent., of all the important coal producing states. 3 . Indiana w‘f. fourth, Illinois fifth, Ohio sixth d Alabama seventh. While - the total increase was very rge as figured in tons, the percen- age is what may be considered nor- ,and indicative of healthy indus- 7 1 ? &1 activity throughout the coun- Hindered by Floods. Coal mining, like all other indus- tries in the Ohio valley states, was serfously interfered with by the great “floods during the spring of 1913, and Parker estimates that from five ten million tons of coal would ‘have been added to the vear’s output but for thfs disaster. With no vio- lent ‘fluctuations in the demand by the blast furnaces, steel works and other manufacturing industries the demand_for coal for those purposes jhows only a normal increase. ¢ The continued decrease in the use % ot fuel oil in the mid-continent ofl eld and the strike in the Colorado 'L coa] mines resulted in dn increased soutput of coal in the central and the Southwestern states. =~ With a few -ekceptions, notably in Illinois, Indiana “gnd Oklahoma, values ranged higher “than in formal normal years, so that 7 from the producers’ standpoint the . conditions in 1913 were fairly satis- : Developments in Mining. . THe development of our coal mining industry with reference to population presents some interesting compari- sons. “In 1850 the coal output was 7,- 018,181 tons, or 0.3 ton for each of the 23,191,876 inhabitants; in 1880 the population had increased to about 60,000,000 and the production of coal W6 about 71,000,000 tons, an average of 1.42 toms per capita. At the close of the nineteenth cen- t\al-ry the population was 76,303,387, an jnerease of a little over 50 per cent. as compared with 1880, while the pro- duction of coal had increased nearly 4400 per cent, in the same period and 3.58 tons fgr each person. Per Capita Production. In 1913 the per capita production % figured at 5.85 tons.

He has been & ruler of peace, and even in the present crisis is believed to have stood as long as he could against tak- ing up arms. Whether the czar will actually direct his immense forces is a question which events alone can tell. He has able generals and mili- tary advisers. employment in 1913 to an army nearly three-quarters of a million men—747,644. The average number of days. worked by the bituminous miners in 1913 was 232, against 223 in 1912, while the average time made in the anthracite mines in 1913 was the best on record, 257 days for each man. The average production of a miner in the bitumin- ous mines increased from 820 tons in 1912 to 838 tons in 1913, both being record breaking averages, while anthracite miners increased their av- erage from 485 tons in 1912 to 532 tons in 1913. of CUP YACHT SLOOPS LEAD FLEET CRUISE Vanitie and Resolute Have Undergone Several Changes of Rigging Since Newport Contests. Glen Cove, L. I, July 31.—A smart eight knot northeasterly breeze that promised to hold steady throughout the day was skipping across Long island Sound today, when the two American cup yachts, Resolute and Vanitie, led the way in the first day's run of the New York Yacht club cruise. The big single stickers sailed over a special course of thirty-five miles in the run from Glen Cove to Smithtown Bay, and wind conditions at the start indicated a thrash to windward and two reaches. Vanitie and Resolute have under- gone several changes of rigging since the Newport cruise, and when they sailed away today their sailing mas- ters expected to show the sloops’ fastest paces. . The, stazt *| dJustice dadny, wan snde off, Ma. tinicock Point and the first leg of the course was twenty and one-half miles to & vessel anchored near Penfield Light. The second leg was south- west seven and one-half miles to an anchored vessel, thence seven miles te the finish line of Crane’s Neck Point in Smithtown Bay. The other racing classes of the New York Yacht club sailed over a twenty-three mile course from Matinicock Point to Crane's Neck Point. A large fleet of Steam yachts followed the cup de- dender candidates though many of the yacht owners hurried back this morning to New York to keep in close touch with the financial situation, Resolute and Vanitie stood out from behind the Glen Cove break- water for the starting line. They carried mainsails, staysails, jibs, big club topsails with baby jib topsails up in stops. A light weather test of the yachts was promised. UPHOLDS INDIAN CLAIM.
