In the Tenth district the production was 3,709,- 158 tons. The Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Co. had 777,649 tons; Altoona Coal & Coke Co., 294,526; Coulter & Huff, 254,553; Rockhill Iron & Coal, 241,979; South Fork Co., 164.879; Puritan Co., 162,368; Taylor & McCoy, 151,833; Carbon Co., 114,742; W. H. Piper Co., 107,530. In the Eighth district, Cambria county, the production was 3,564,447 tons, and the output of the leading producers was: Beech Creek Coal & Coke Co., 600,001; Berwind-White Co., 415,146; Peale & Co., 410,300; Morrisdale Coal Co., 360,583; Irish Bros., 191,690; Moshannon Co., 179,816; Victoria Coal Co., 136,585; Cambria Coal Co., 108,740; Corona Coal & Coke Co., 93,356; G. W. Whitehead Coal Co., 69,280; W. A. Gould & Bro., 61,788; Henrietta Coal Co., 50,706. The report of Mine Inspector D. J. Williams, of the Fourth anthracite district shows that a total of 5,294,265 tons were mined in this district, involving 34 fatal and 71 non-fatal accidents. The accidents fatal and non-fatal are largely attributable to falls of roof. The production of coal for the various mines in the district is computed by Mr. Williams in the following table: Tons. D.

The number of mines operated in the district is 41. Mine Inspector Prytherch, of the Third anthracite district, reports that the total production in his district during 1904 was 4,380,324 tons, with 36 fatal accidents and 84 non-fatal accidents. The report states that the large percentage of deaths was due to the careless manner in which the miners observed the rules for preventing these accidents. It points out that the law provides regulations which are so simple that with a little care and attention to the warnings given from day to day there would be much greater safety.

BRITISH COAL SUPPLIES REPORT. THE COAL TRADE BULLETIN. The effect of the final report of the British Royal Commission on coal supplies, which was recently issued, is that the United Kingdom is in no immediate danger of a coal famine. The document propounds a paradox, for though the commission of 1811 estimated the coal resources of the country then available at 90,207,285,398 tons, the present commission is confident that the available quantity in the proved coal fields is 100,914,668,167 tons, or 10,707,382,769 tons in excess of the store of coal which was available 34 years ago. Yet in the period from January 1, 1870, to December 31, 1903, 5,694,9z8,507 tons of coal were extracted, and in spite of that the British Isles have more coal than ever they had. The mystery of the widow's cruse seems to be outdone, but it is explained that the excess is accounted for by the difference in the areas regarded as productive by the two commissions, and by discoveries due to recent sinkings and workings, and to more accurate knowledge. The commission finds that the depth of workings is increasing, though the deepest collieries are in other countries. The greatest depth is attained at Pendleton, in Lancashire, about 3,000 feet below the surface, or more than half a mile down; and it is declared that no insuperable mechanical or engineering difficulty exists in deep mining, nor is it necessarily unhealthy, in spite of increasing temperature, if the ventilation be brisk and the air dry. At Pendleton it is now found just as comfortable to work at 93Va degrees in the deeper levels as it was at 82 degrees formerly. The limit of deep mining is the limit of cost, and the commission assumes that 4,000 feet is the extmeme possible depth in mining and that a width of twelve inches is the limit. below which seams cannot be profitably worked. Of the coal available above that level no less than 79.3 per cent, is in seams of two feet thick and upwards, and 91.6 per cent, in seams of more than eighteen inches. It is further estimated that below a depth of 4,000 feet there are seams in Great Britain containing 5,239,433,980 tons of coal, though the commissioners express no opinion as to whether it is workable. There are also large "unproved" coal fields, the supply from which is speculative; they are outside the area dealt with, and it is estimated that at depths less than 4,000 feet they contain 39,483,000,000 tons. This includes the undersea area lying between five and twelve miles beyond high-water mark in the Cumberland coal field estimated to contain 854,000,000 tons, and those areas undersea in St. Bride's and Carmarthen Bay with 383,000,000 tons. Having regard to these conclusions the commissioners seem to have no anxiety as to the future coal supply. Indeed, they estimate that. :;i although the output of the British coal fields has grown rapidly until it has reached 230,000,000 tons, the rate of increase in the output will shortly tend to diminish owing to natural causes; then they believe there will be a stationary period, finally a gradual decline in the rate of increase. Holding this opinion they declare against the coal tax, saying "it is self-evident that the export duty which came into force in the early part of the year 1901 must affect our competitive power (i. e., in the international coal trade), and must have an influence on the exportation of coal." They add: ihere seems no present necessity to restrict artificially the export of coal in order to conserve it for our home supply." The witnesses all believed that export of coal must be maintained, and that it is essential to commerce. The decline in the ratio of the output is to be obtained by possible economies which are discussed at length. A great deal of coal is wasted, being left in the mines as roof supports or barriers, or because it is unsalable owing to its broken condition. But coke ovens fitted for the recovery of by-products and factories for the manufacture of briquettes or "patent fuel" are extending the utilization of inferior coal; and developments in the production of power gas tend in the same direction. Central pumping stations also make for economy, and the work under the South Staffordshire mines drainage act has made available a large quantity of small coal which might otherwise have been lost. Coal cutting machinery is also valuable in enabling thin seams to be worked profitably, and whereas in 1900 there were only 311 such machines at work in British pits, there were in 1903, 643 at work in 225 collieries, with an output of 5,245,578 tons. They yield a larger percentage of coal than hand labor, and it is in better condition and shows less waste. If all engines were as efficient as the best only half the quantity of coal now required for steam Raising would be used. If gas engines were used instead of steam the 52.000,000 tons annually required for steam raising would be reduced to 11,000,000 tons. The utilization of inferior fuel for power gas generation, the employment of blast furnace gases for a similar purpose, the improvement of methods of domestic heating, whereby a consumption of o2,000,000 tons might be reduced to half, and other economies towards which the country is tending, will enable it to husband still further its enormous resources and put the dread of a coal famine out of mind. The laboratory of the mechanical engineering department of the University of Tennessee has been equipped with a Cameron regular boiler feed pump.
