Pennsylvania Stands cvt tho Head of
the Coal Producing States of the
Union In 1800 53 Per Cent, of
the Total Output of Anthracite and
Bituminous Coal Came from Be
neath tho Soil of the Keystone
State Amount Mined of Each
Kind of Coal.
Statistics as to the coal production
at the United States for 1S39, prepared
by Kdward W. Parker, according to
returns to tho geological survey by Its
agents, are now Riven for the lit at
time. According to those statistics a
steady advance has been made by the
United States fiom thlul to first place
In the world's induction of coal, an
advance fiom 14.33 per tent, to 21 per
cent.
The coal areas of the United States
are divided Into two gient classes
the anthracite ami tho bituminous.
The output of anthiaclte coal, Includ
ing tho product oC Colorado and New
Mexico, has lnci eased from 39,riS,2"
short tons In 1SS7 to 00,511,201 short
tons In 1S99. In the ten wirs fiom
1SS0 to 1899 tho product of anthracite
'oal Increased about one-thlid. The
product of nnthtaclte coal In 1S9D ex
ceeded by neatly WOO 000 tons the phe
nomenal yield of 1Mj.
In point of niea tho western Is the
most extensive of the bituminous
fields, having an aiea of neatly 100,000
srpjate miles. The total product of
bituminous coat In 1S91 was lTL'.COS !)17
long tons, or 103.321.9S7 short tons,
allied at the mines at $167,93,".30l. The
iiKgiegnto pioduct of anthracite and
bituminous coal In 1S99 was 22G.Gi3,r'.t
long tons, or 2."3,739,99J short toll",
v allied at 2K,077,43I.
ANTHItACITi: OUTPUT.
The pioduct of anthracite coal In
Pennsylvania amounted In 1S99 to ri3.
911, !I7 long tons, or G0.418.OO-. shoit
tons, valued at the mints at $SS,1I2,
130, against I7,0fi'!,070 long ton', or ',",,
3S2.04I Hhoit tons, worth 7o,tl4,r.37 in
1S9S, and 40.974,711 long tons, or fiS.GU.
GS0 shoit tons, valued at $79,301,931, In
1897. Compaiod with 1S9S tho pioduct
In 1S99 shows an Increase of G.2S1.R71
long tons, oi 7,03'i,3Gl shoit tons In
amount, and of $12,727,S91 in value.
The pcicentage of Increase In product
was 13.02, while the value Increased
1G 09 per cent., tho yeai's business be
ing maiked by nn advance of li cents
per ton in the general average pi lie.
For the (list time In twehe veais the
lncieaso In the alue of bituminous
product has been pi eater In propoitlon
to the Inciease In tonnage.
In reference to the coal pioductlon
by the various states and tetrltoile,
nineteen piodueed ovei 1,000.000 tons
each In 1S99: sev n had an output ex
ceeding i-.OOO.OOO tons each: four ex
ceeded 10,000,000, and two Pennsylva
nia and Illinois exct piled 20,000,000
tons.
Pennsjlvanla stands pie-emlnentlv
at tho head of the coal pioduclng
states. The combined output of an
thracite and bituminous coal In Penn
sylvania has for many years exceeded
r0 per cent, of the total output of the
United States. In 1S99 CI per cent, of
the totnl pioduct was from Pennsyl
vania mines; 29 per cent, was Penn
sylvania bituminous coal, and 21 per
cent. Pennsylvania anthiaclte. It has
been estimated that at the present
rate of consumption the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania will last fiom
150 to 200 yeais. Anthiaclte pioduc
tlon In Pennsylvania In 1R99 Incicasel
13 per cent, over 1S9S, as compared
with an lncieae of 13.0S In Pennsyl
vania bituminous coal and a gain of
16 per cent. In the total bituminous
product of the United States.
HARD VS. SOFT COAI,.
Anthracite coal Is becoming moie of
an article of domestic consumption
every year, while Its use under boilers
nnd for manufacturing purposes Is be
ing supplanted to a large extent by
.soft coal. "It Is not to be expected,"
savs the repoit, "that Its production
will Increase In the same proportion
as bituminous coal, but with our In
creasing urban population, Its use as
a domestic fuel may continue to ln
cieaso for at least some time to come.
Nor Is It possible to predict what the
rate of Increase, If any, is going to be,
but It Is probable that for the next
fifty years at least 20 per cent, of our

BOARD FOR TODAY.
coal products will be made up of Penn
svlvanla anthracite. The state will
continue as tho leading coal producer
for many years, If the history of the
past may be taken as a basis for Judg
ing of the future."
Next In Importance to Pennsylvania1;
as a coal producer Is Illinois, whose
product in 1899 was 21,439,019 tons,
equivalent to 9 fi per cent, of the total
product, and a gain of nearly 0,000,000
tons over tho suite's output In 1808.
The total product for Pennsylvania
In 1899 was 120,1",0,1G0 long tons, or 131,
EGS.ISO short tons; spot value, $144.3SD,
921. Anthracite Total product. 53,941,
G47 long tons, or GOMIS.OO." short tons,
spot value, $SS,142,130. Hltumlnous
Totnl pioduct, CG,20r.,rd3 long tons, or
74,130,175 short tons, spot vnlue, $.'6,
247.791. The pioduct of bituminous coal In
Pennsvlvnnln In 1S99 shows a gain
over the output in 1S9S of 8.9S3.042 short
tons, or 13.S per cent. This Increase
In tonnage was not as latge as that of
ISIS over 1S97 or of 1S95 over 1891, In
both of which yenis the gain was over
10.000,000 tons, but In each of those
yeais the lnci eased pioduct was ac
companied by a decline In price, while
In 1S99 the value per ton was advanced
from 67 cents to 7G cents, nnd tho In
ciease In the total value of the bitu
minous product was moie than the
combined Increase in value for tho
two vears mentioned.
THU 15ITUMINOUS PRODUCT.
The Increase In the value of tile
Pennsylvania bituminous pioduct In
1S99 was laiger than the value of the
entile output of any other state with
the exception of Illinois and Ohio. Til"
average pi Ice per ton ($.70) was the
highest obtained since 1S93. Of tha
total bituminous product in 1819, over
2J.000.000 tons, or about 30 per cent.,
was mined by machines.
It was shown In lOS how the effect
of the Increased ncttvlty In the Iron
and steel trade was reflected In the
bituminous coal pioductlon of Penn
sylvania, and paitlculaily upon that
of the four leading tountles Fayette.
Westmoreland, Allegheny and Cambrln.
What was said for 189S holds igood for
1V)9. The Hi st two counties embiace
the Connellsvlllo cokelng legions, an 1
the gi eater portion of the pioduct Is
made Into coke for blast furnace and
foundiy use.
These four counties produce fiom GO
to G3 per cent, of the state's total (C!
per cent. In 1899), and G9 per cent, of
the total Inciease In the bltumlnoiu
product for 199, was contributed by
them. The combined pioduct of tho
four counties in 1S99 was practically
40,000,000 short tons, nearly double the
entire output of Illinois. The largest
Increase In 1899 was In 'Westmoreland
county, which added 2,766,280 tons, oi
24 per cent, to Its output foi 183S. Fay
ette county gained 1,913,220 tons, or 13
per cent.
The third county of increased pio
ductlon and Hist in percentage of gain
nvnong the important pioducers was
Someiset county with an Inclement
of 1,103,943 short tons, or CO per cent.
The product of Someiset county has
tiebhd In two years. Allegheny gained
1.0S2.0G3 tons, or 12 per cent., and Cam
bila county gained 1GS.372 tons, or 7
per cent. There were only three coun
ties which did not share in the gen
ei.il improvement. These were Law
lence, McKean and 'Tioga.

UR ANNOUCBMENT to close our store during
August on Saturdays at 12 o'clock noon has brought
us such a flood of congratulations that we are
moved to take recognition of the very generous
words of our friends in this public acknowledgment. We have
made this departure in the interest of our employes, to afford
them necessary rest and recreation during the heated term, and
we believe the movement will be appreciated by them and the
public in general. We are convinced that this policy is in line
with the best business thought of the present age and we trust
that the movement will become general, thus placing Scranton
up to the spirit of the times and on a par with the larger cities
of the country on the question of the Saturday half holiday.
We would respectfully request the buying public to anticipate
their wants and make their purchases, if possible, before 12
noon on Saturdays, during August, and thereby place your
seal of approval on a movement intended for the good of the
