It is interesting to note that West Virginia was
the one important coal producing state whose output
was greater in 1904 than in 1903. The total
for 1903 was 29,337,241 tons and for 1904 32,602,-
819—a gain of 3,265,578 tons, or 11.1 per cent.
West Virginia stands third in the list of soft coal
states, Illinois second and Pennsylvania first.
Pennsylvania's bituminous output in 1904 was 97,-
952,267 tons—a decrease from 1903 of 5,164,911
tons or nearly 5 per cent. Illinois produced last
year 36.475,060 tons—a loss compared with 1903
of 482,044 tons, or 1,3 per cent. West Virginia's
gain emphasizes the solid development of the coal
industry which has set in in that commonwealth.
Nearly 70 per cent, of its area—or 17.280 out of a
total of 24,780 square miles—is included in the coal
fields of the Appalachian system, and it is plainly
destined to lead in coal production in the near
future.
