THE COAL TRADE BULLETIN. 53
Had a Currency of Its Own. »-
The Lyttle Coal Co., of Lyttle, Tex., has sur­
rendered to government officials 1,819 pieces of
brass which have been used by the company in
paying wages to its miners and accepted as cash
at various stores of the town. The checks were
subject to discount when presented as currency.
They were in denominations from five cents to $1
and were regularly coined and milled. Secret
service men assert that the use of this species of
money is in direct violation of the federal statutes
and the manner of its use at Lyttle is a violation
of the counterfeiting laws. A criminal action
may be brought against the company.
The south is rapidly increasing its importance
in the production of coal. The annual output of
the states contiguous to the Mississippi now exceeds
$45,000,000 in value of the total, Alabama
mines. $12,500,000; Arkansas, $2,500,000; Georgia,
$600,000; Indian territory, $4,300,000; Kansas, $7,-
