That the coal operators are scarcely scratching the urfaco of the huge coal deposits In Schuylkill County was emphasized to day, uhen T. Kits worth Davie, an old mlnlpg engineer. Informed the Federal coal Inxcstlgatlng committee that tnori' than 20,000.000.000 tons of hard coal lies under the fcurface, enough to last 800 years. "In the Schuylkill County region." said the xvltncss, "ne hao mined about 700,000,000 tons of coal In the last sex-enty years and more than 22,noo -000,000 tons are left. This ought tu he taxed for no less than M.ooii.nnn.niiii. but the present assessment Is only 124.000,000. The testimony of Paxils proxed to be the blK feature at tod.i's session and caused much uneasiness to those who are hostile toward the Inxestlgatlon. Attorneys for the coal oierators Mild that. If glxcn the opportunity, tiny xvould Introduce evidence to refute the estimates submitted by Daxlrs cnn.vin lng the extent of the remaining coal de posits and their xalue. ay Operators Tnxfi Are l.mv Senator Varddtnan, of Mlslslppi In charge "of the senatorial committee that Is endeax-orlng to determine xxhethtr the coal operators nre limiting production and whether the alleged restriction of production Is responsible for high prlees, was In fine mettle, xvhen Daxies xxas on the stand and requested the w Uncus to restate his tstlmony In leK.ird to Schuylkill count 's vut treasure of black diamonds. Pax Irs wanted to make It clear that coal oper.itois were nut pal ing their proportion of taxes and to proxo his assertion cited the case of Lackawanna county 'In that county we haxe 400,ooo,0f'0 Jons of coal that Is nilnable." said the witness. "Tho court haxe nssessid the cot at twenty-fix e cents per ton, so thu total assessment is $100,000,000." Then he told how Lackawanna Count had Improxed Its schools and roads and to emphasize the financial condition ot that coal region, nss-erted that, in one toxx'n, a fund of S10.U00 had been sit aside, for the u.-e of one charily cue. Senvtor Vardaman Inquired whethu that condition prexalled throughout the entire anthracite coal region, and the xvltners repIUd that it dldn'. fin Schuylkill County," he said, "the teachers and other are threatening to strike and I am told that many school dol'trlcts are nctuallv bankrupt." To gixe addid nuthorlly to the testi mony of Pax Ics, It was made clear by Senator V.irdatnan that lie had been em ployed by Lackawanna County to survey the coal situation for the purpoe of reassessing the coal lands. fcujw ( oal U Undervalued "Sow," said Senator Vard.im.in. "will i'ou tell us xxhnt xvould be n fair esti mate of the taxable xalue of the coal fields In Sehulkill County?" the xvltness, after rex tewing figures In regard to the extent of the deposit, asserted that they should be assessed for either one billion or a billion and u quarter dollars "How- xvould lliexe tae nfteit tho profit on coal."' ask.d Senator urd,i man. "On the bavls of the Lickaxxann.i County assessment, it would take Son 1'ears for the lasts to cat up tho ptofll on n, ton of coal," replied Davis. "What is tho profit on eauh ton of coal?" ' "The profit made by railroad compa nies that operate mines amounts to J2.50 per ton. I include In that figure freight protlt that accrues to the rull road for hauling ih coal. ' This ontixx'i'r I'iitiM d n stir in thu courtloom xv here the Inxestlgatlon Is be ing conducted, so the witness riuallfird his answer by saying, "of course, there has been a separation nf the railroad Conipanles and mine operating compa nies, but In many install., tin v nre virtually the nine, or, rather, owned by tho same people ' rnttavlllc. Ph., Jan :l -il.x A. I' ) The Senate Manufactures s' Committee this morning resumed Its inxesllgatlou of the coal trade with u fuither probo Into the rojaltles being paid the holding corporations by thu companies leuslng the coal tracts. Tl.o Information was dulled from A C. Dodson. of Bethlehem, head of the Dodson coal comparlc-.. that the Increase in the price of eo.il was nm only marked by n, raise in the royalties, but that the royalties fixed by the (ilranl Ust.ite hud a beating on those (.barged by the other corporations. Mr. Dodson stated thdt, in connee. tlon xvlth, their Iotust Mountain opera tion, tho company hid si.tx'-tlie cents a ton, but that the Increase was such that at present the company Is pa.xmg as high as SI. 30. Had the In, re.ise been anticipated, the hfiul of the company stated, the bid xwuld nt have been so large, figures on the tnvaltles paid dur ing the last fixe vears showed that the company, on an investment of two mil lions, had turn-d oxer to tin owneie of the land, the Olrard estate, rox allies ag gregating almoft that sum. Thi royal ties paid, according to figures submitted by him, ranged frc-m Jll.'OoO In 1911 to J658.000 In 101 S He estimated that approximately one. third of the coal in tho basin being worked by his company was removed . Senator Jones, on his estimate, placed tho valuation of the coal ut lO.ooo.ono. The Dodson people operate at Locust Mountain, Beaxer Hrook and Audenreid At Beaver Brook, the rojaltles on the prepared sizes are fortv cents a ton as compared with 11 30 at Lo.-ust Mountain Senator Jones, of New Mexico, urrlxed In Pottsville on Thursday night and joined his colleagues at tho tnxestlga tlon this morning. He uss'tted Senator Ileed In the examination of xxltneses Mr. Dodson testltled that the com pany xxas charging up twenty-two cents a ton as depreciation on every ton of coal mined. Forced to Abandon Mine I. D. Beahm, of Tort Carbon, former Independent operator at St. Clair, testi fied that he abandoned Ills plant xvhen the Ileadlng company refused to extend his lease. He stated he was satisfied with the company's action until they started to xvork the banks he wanted themselves. He told of hla employes having prepared a petition to tho com pany asking It to give him - lease, but testified the men ull had xvork xvlthln :i few days after he abandoned tho xvork lnrs. George M. Kciser, operating In the Heckschervllle Valley testified that he had a live-year lease,, which permitted him to mine all of tho coal The lease Is from the Reading company and he testified he believed he could get the right to mine the xvhole basin, but that he did not ant it. as he did not believe there was anything there.
