THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA THE PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE COAL FIELD- The good or the bad condition of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal mining industry affects happily or un happily the lives of hundreds of thou sands of our people through all grades of society, from the coal picker to the millionaire capitalist; and the discus sion of this great industry is of cor- responding interest. The Third Part of the Twenty-second Annual Repoit of the United States Geological Sur vey, now passing through the press, contains the description of " The Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Field,' by Mr. H. H. Stock. Speaking broadly, the anthracite coal field, consisting of long, narrow, upland valleys and located in east-central Pennsylvania, may be said to be bounded on the west by the Susque hanna River, on the north by the North Branch of the Susquehanna, and on the east by the Delaware and Lehigh rivers. The anthracite region lies mainly within ' Lackawanna, Luzerne, Carbon, Schuylkill, and Northumberlarld counties, though the measures overlap into Wayne, Sus- quehanna, Wyoming, Sullivan, Col umbia, Dauphin, and Lebanon. Of the total anthracite territory, only about 484 square miles are underlain oy worKame coai measures; nor is this productive area continuous, but consists of detached basins. Ot the four main geographic divisions, the Northern basin, including the Wyom jng ana L.acKawanna valleys, con tains 176 square miles. The Eastern middle basin has a total coal area of about 33 square miles. The South em basin extends 70 miles from Mauchchunk on the Lehigh River west to Dauphin on the Susquehanna and contains 181 square miles. The Western-middle basin contains 94 square miles. This anthracite coal field is divided for trade and labor purposes into the Wyoming region, or labor district No. 1; the Lehign region, or labor Oistrict 1N0. 7; and the Schuylkill region, or labor district No. 9. It is probable that only a very small part of the coal measures origin ally deposited in this region has es caped erosion. In the report of the Coal Waste Commission (Harrisburg), Mr. 1). W. Smith estimates the origi nal contents of the anthracite coal field befoie mining began at more than 19,500 million tons, and he thinks that this amount of coal repre sents not more than 6 per cent, pro bably about 2 per cent, and possibly only 1 per. cent of the vast original coal deposit before erosion took place. The coal beds vary in thick ness from mere traces of coal to the 50 or 60 feet of the Mammoth bed. In the Wyoming basin of the North ern field 81.8 percent of the total coal may be considered marketable; in the Eastern-middle field, 75 to 77 per cent; in the Southern field, 7a per cent; in the Western middle field, 75 per cent. The development of the anthracite coalfield may be britfly suggested by the following chronology: 1762. Anthracite discovered in Wyom ing Valley by Connecfcut settlers. 1769, Obadiah Gore first burned an thracite in his blacksmith forge. 1802, Anthracite first burned in a grate in Philadelphia. 181 2, Anthracite first successfully used in an iron furnace at Philadelphia. 1S23, First cargo of anthracite shipped around Cape Cod to Boston. 1820184c, Period of canals and navigation companies. 1840-1901, Period of railroad exploita tion. 1855, Anthracite leads char coal in manufacture of pig iron. 1887, Important development of lake and western trade, iooo, Large number individual collieries bought up by railroads. After a protracted contest with the railroads, the individual operators consolidated their interests in 1899 with the Pennsylvania Coal Company and incorporated a railway for them selves; whereupon, in January 1901, the Pennsylvania Coal Company was bought by Messrs. Pierpont Morgan & Co., at an increase ot 752 per cent upon the par value of the stock; this property was then immediately sold to the Erie Railroad; and thus the contest was closed. The mining is by "stripping," where the coal out crop can be easily reached, and by the room and pillar system tor under ground work. Slopes and shafts are the prevailing form of mine opening Anthracite is universally mined with hand rotary drills and by the use of black blasting powder, dynamite or eiant powder being sometimes used. The reports ot the Bureau of Mines give 39 3 tons of anthracite mined as the approximate result per keg used, as against 2S2 tons, per keg of pow der, of bituminous coal mined during the same period. The coal is not undercut as a general rule, and min ing machines have never been ap plied successfully to the anthracite field. Ventilation is universally by rotary fans, and fire-damp exists in a number of mines in such quantities as to render it necessary to work them ' entirely by the use of safety lamps Every known form of haulage mule haulaee, rope haulage, locomotive haulage is to be found in the an thracite mines, there being in 1900, 332 engines of various kindi, and 5,708 mules for hauling coal. Unlike bituminou.4 coal, anthracite must be broken, sorted 10 sizes, and have the impurities picked out, before can be marketed. The coal is broken by toothed rolls, and screened n circular or horizontal screens, the slate being picked out by machinery or by boys and old men. Some years ago the anthracite miners were main ly American, English, Welsh and Irish; but at present a great many nationalities are represented in the anthracite fields. The peicentaees of nationalities are about as follows: American, 21; Irish, 16; English, s; Welsh, 9--a liitle over 51 per cent Folish, 27, Hungarian, 6; Italian, 3: German, 4; and Austrian, Slavonic, Scotch, and Lithuanian over 1 per cent each. In 1800 the amount of employees inside the mines was 92,223; of outside employees, 48,433, a total of 1 40,656. The production of coal in the anthracite field by de cennial periods since 1880 has been, in round numbers: 1880, 28,700,000 tons, valued at $42,300,000; 1890, 46,500,000 tons, valued at $66,400, 000; 1900, 57,400,000 tons, valued at $86,000,000. Concentration of interests in the anthracite coal fields has been the policy for the past few years in connection with tht mining and preparation of coal, as well as in the ownership of the properties. Large central plants arc rapidly re placing isolated smaller plants. One large breaker now does the work formerly done by a number of small ones. ' A sing e tubular boiler plant has replaced possibly halt a dozen scattered individual plants of old fashioned cylindrical boilers, and mammoth central pumping plants or drainage tunnels are now draining whole basins, where formerly a large number of small plants were doing the work. This concentration natural ly tends to better management, and to a saving in fixed expenses and in labor. These economies have resulted Irom the increase of capital and labor required to produce anthracite, without a corresponding increase in demand for it. In 1880, coal royal ties were from 20 to 25 rents per ton for prepared sizes, the sizes be'ow chestnut being neglected or thrown away; now royalties are 25 cents for pea coal, about 10 to 12 cents for small sizes below pea, and from 40 to 50 cents for prepared sizes above pea. In 1877, the average number ot days worked per year was 201;; 1897, it was 152. The cost of open- ng a colliery in 1887 was $100,000; now it is from $400,000 to $500,000. Owing to requirements of cleaning, about 14 per cent of the coal product which was formerly saleable must now be thrown upon the dump. In 1887, the average daily breaker out put was 500 tons; in 1897, the aver age of all breakers was 380 tons. In 1880, 88 per cent of the coal sold was of the size which sold at a profit; in 1897, only 70 per cent. In 1877, 38 per cent of all coal mined was grate and larger sizes not requiring preparation for sale; in 1887, only 26 per cent; in 1897, 15 per cent. The selling price of prepared sizes at tide water was $3.26 in 1877, $3.67 in 1887, and $3 46 in 1897. Deeper workings, heavier machinery, greater costs in many ways of mining, have greatly increased cost of preparation. Nevertheless, pessimists to the con trary, says Mr. Stoek, the anthracite industry, with an invested capital of some $700,000,000, with natural an nual profits ot from $85,000,000 to $100,000,000, with a freight traffic worth $40,000,000 per year to the carriers, cannot be rapidly wiped out ot existence. The cost of mining anthracite can hardly be given in general terms. It is probably not far from $1.50 per ton. Learn Something, About eighty per cent, of the in mates of our prisons and penitenta- r;es have received sunicient eiluca- tion to be able to write their own names and read a little. About the same proportion have never been taught to use their hands in any use ful way. These figures would appear to constitute an impressive argument in favor of industrial education. The mechanic is seldom at a disadvantage He can nearly always find employment while the man who does not under- stand how to use his hands is often reduced to direst distress, because no man will hire him. Bead the Papers, The principal of the Philadelphia schools, Dr. Brooks, says he is in thorough accord with the thought that teachers should carefully read the newspapers. The newspapers, says Dr. Brooks, are very largely the only means for learning of current events, and teachers should be as well acquainted with contemporaneous history as with the history of any period of the world. Some people are so fond of talking that they don't know the difference between conversation and a monologue. WASHINGTON. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, March 7, 1902. "If we don't revise the tariff the democrats will; an 1 I am afraid that a good many of the members now in Congress will not be here to supervise the job," remarked a republican mem ber of the House, one day recently in my hearing, and to the consternation of the republican leaders that senti ment is growing daily. It is a well known tact that Representative Bab cock of Wisconsin made a vigorous effort to organize an effective opposi tion to the rule which prevented any amendment of the bill abolishing the war revenue taxes. At the last moment the Michigan delegation, on which Mr. Bibcock had counted as an ally,declined to vote with him and consequently he determined to abandon his project tor the time and has since devoted himself to the organization of those republicans who desire a revision of the tariff at this session. Whether the autocracy of the Reed rules and the vigor of the party whip will be sufficient to sup press the " schism," as it is called by gentlemen of the Ilenderson-Dalzell school, remains to be seen, but un less the subject of reciprocity with Cuba is soon disposed of it is safe to say that they will not. V Cuba is another "thorn in the flesh" of the leaders. The third caucus on the subject, held Monday evening, was productive of no results and another will be held this evening The President refuses to recede from his original position, that something must be done for Cuba and General Grosvenor of Ohio has become a warm advocate of the Ways and Means Committee bill which grants 20 per cent reciprocal reduction on Cuban imports. Mr. Roosevelt is threaten ing to send a special message to Con gress on the subject although if he does it will be against the advice of his friends who fear that it would have a tendency to make the opposi tion even more obstinate and might even injure his chances for a renomi nation. Senator Rawlins of Utah told me the other day that while he had not investigated the subject as he intended to before the matter came up in the Senate, he was certainly suspicious of the vigorous advocacy of Cuban reciprocity which is being displayed by newspapers which have always heretofore been the friends of the trusts and he was at a loss to understand how the Cubans them selves could have produced the wide spread sentiment which there seems to be in favor of concessions to the island. The Senate has sent to the Presi dent the bill providing for a perma nent Census Bureau but Mr. Roose velt has expressed disapproval of the section which includes in the civil service all of the clerks now employ ed by the bureau, not more than one- third of which will be retained in the permanent organization. He has so Manual) is all right, if you arc too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm.

On Monday Senator Frye com menced his argument in favor of the snip subsidy bill and the measure is still under consideration. Several democratic senators will present the views that lead them to oppose the measure but they will not adopt ob structive tactics and there is little doubt that it will pass the upper chamber. The Senate has also pass ed the irrigation bill and has sent it over to the House where it may not receive as favorable consideration. The House Committee on Post- offices and Post Roads has reported a bill providing that hereafter the routes of the free delivery service shall be let by contract instead of being covered by salaried carriers and although this was voted far by a large majority of the Committee, the minori ty report, prepared by Mr. Swanson of Virginia has received considerable support in the House. Mr. Swanson told me yesterday that he considered the passage of the bill would be a grave mistake. "Great responsibility," said Mr. Swanson, "rests unon the carriers of rural routes and their per sonality is a matter of great import ance to the residents ot the districts. In the first place, the contract system would result in securing the cheap est class of men ai.d equipment. The prices bid would be too low 10 secure men of high grade. By the provis ions of the bill there would be no per manent tenure, as either the govern ment or the carrier could cancel the contract on thirty day's notice. This would, of itself, militate against the efficiency of the service. Again, it is unreasonable to expect that the men who have contracted to do cer tain work for the least possible money will be as accomodating and as ready to issue money orders, register mail and in other ways increase their work as men who are paid a salary and who appreciate that their positions are permanent so long as they per form their duties to the satisfaction of their patrons and of the Department. These are but a few of the many ob jections to the measure but I feel confident that, could the residents along the free delivery routes have an opportunity of expressing themselves, they would be unanimous in their op position to the change." From what I have been able to learn from the Senate end of the Capitol it seems hardly likely that the bill will receive a favorable vote in that body, parti cularly as its opponents predict that before the Senate takes it up for con sideration the senators will be over whelmed with protests from the resi dents of their several states. Representative William Sulzer, of New York, told me yesterday that he RAILROAD TIME TABLE LACKAWANNA RAILROAD. BLOOMSBURG DIVISION. I a effect .lun.

' I appreciate," said Mr. Suir.er, "the many obstacles m the way of this leg islation. The present majority owes its success, not to its adherence to the principles of right and justice, not to its advancement of the cause of the people, but to its subserviency to the wishes of the capitalists and the great vested interests whose money flows like water into the treasuries of the republican campaign committees. Nevertheless, there is so much merit in my biil, so much that appeals to the inherent sense of justice ot the American people, that I feel sure, when they realize the facts, they will demand its passage.
