There Ate Seven Coal Dedi in the Indian Territory Thick Enough to Be Commercially Workable Mine Workers from This Region Are to Attend the Conference to Be Held in Now York Saturday The D., I. & W. Board for Today Notes of Many Kinds. The southwestern coal field Includes tlio three districts of, Indian Territory, Arkansas urnl North Texas. It Is dis cussed by Mr. Joseph A. Tall In Part III of tho Twenty-second Annual Kc liort of the United States Geological Survey, now In press. The Indian Territory coul field Is di rectly connected with the Kansas coal Held on the north and the Arkansas field on tho"east. The northern part and the extreme western part are un developed and little known. The field Includes a small part of Kastern Okla homa, the western half of the Chero kee, the whole of the Creek, the north eastern corner of the Chickasaw and the northern third of the Choctaw Na tions, and has an area of approximately 110.000 square miles. There are seven beds of coal In the Indian Territory coal field thick enough to be commercially workable, besides others which may be locally of work able thickness. The Arkansas coal Held runs In the bnsln of the Arkansas river, seventy live miles eastward from the state line, narrowing- from fifty to twenty-five miles between the southern foothills of Ihe Hnston Mountains and the north ern ridpes of the Ouachita Mountains. The Noith Texas field extends from the south of the Colorado Wver volley, between Lampasas and Concho coun ties, northward to Red Itiver, In Mon tague county. It Is nearly 250 miles in length, with an average width of about forty-live miles, and has, there fore, an npptoximatc nrea of 10,000 Miliar miles. In 1P0O the southwestern field pro duced 3,900,273 tons, valued at $5,424,-r,.-.8. Omitting the North Texas product, r.M.030 tons, as not reported fully, of the 3,370,243 tons produced by the Indian Territory and Arkansas, 43 per cent vvns used for railroad fuel, 23 per cent for manufacturing fuel, 32 per cent for domestic, fuel, and 56,953 tons of the Indian Territory were made into coke. Sixty-seven commercial mines in twelve counties produced 3,906,273 tons In 1900, and the estimated capacity of sixty one of these mines (six Texas mines being omitted) was 4,9993,614 tons. In 18S0 Arkansas produced 14,778 tons; In 1S00 Indian Territory and Arkansas produced 1,279,117 tons; in 1900 the In dian Territory produced 1,922,298 tons; Arkansas, 1,447,945 tons, and Texas, D36.030 tons, a total of 3,906,273 tons. Shipments of this coal to market are entirely by rail, and the development has depended directly upon railroad building. Four roads reach the Indian Territory field the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the St. Louis & San Francisco, the Memphis & Choctaw, and the Kan sas City Southern (extending to the Gulf.) The last three named roads supply the Arkansas field with trans portation. The North Texas field is in tersected by six roads, five of which transport coal the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, the Texas & Pacific, the Weatherford, Mineral Wells & North western, the Chicago, Rock Island and Texas, and the Fort Worth & Denver City roads. A Per Diem Basis. ,T. W. Midgley has submitted a pro position to the American Railway asso ciation for the formation of an asso ciation for the purpose of Inaugurating and maintaining a per diem basis for tho use of freight cars. The method to bo put Into effect July 1, and It is thought if given a thorough trial for one year the plan will show a saving of over $200,000,000. Mr. Mldgely recommends that all set tlements for the use of freight cars be on a per diem basis Instead of u mileage rate and that the new association should act through an executive committee empowered to interpret the rules, adjust differences, remove misunderstandings and recommend changes; that a clearing house should be organized for the settlement of monthly balances growing out of the Interchange of freight ears between members. Should the putting into effect of this proposition be the means of getting more service and quicker despatch out of the cars in transit. It will be a wel come Innovation to the coal trade.

Today's stock market had tho appearance of being tired, in the language of the brokers. A gallant rally was made against the depression and the sjmpathetic influence of rather aggretilvc strength developed in some ot tho eastern railroad stocks, had the clfccl of checking the selling in the western field, so that the losses, were nt one time prettty generally re covered. But the action of Heading strongly in dicated a culmination of the upward movement in that stock and the taking of tueculatlvc profit and afternoon rally in the wheat inaiket reawakened the aniety felt for the winter wheat crop. The western railroad btocku fell away to tho lowest of the day, and the gains which had been established elsewhere among important rail road stocks melted away. .The market closed ac tive and weak and generally at the lowest. A violent break in Sugar to 122VS after selling up to 127?i was a contributing cause to the late weak ness and was attributed to the growing apple hension that the differential on sugar will be ic moved or the Cuban reciprocity bill will fail. Humors were revived of a consolidation of Amer ican Cotton Oil and Virginia-Carolina Chemical. The movements in International Power, Ameri can Grass Twine, Wells Fargo, New York, New Haven and Hartford, Long Island, the Keokuk and Des .Moines stocks and others were unex plained, 'flic early recovery in the market was stimulated! by reports of showers in the winter wheat belt, but the gain carrving roads showed a nervous tone throughout and the real sustain ing Influence in the market was the buying of the Coalets, both hard and soft, and the Morgan railroads. The evidence of realizing in Heading lelt the market vulnerable again to the influence of a rally in the wheat maiket, although that was saiil to be partly due to the heavy decrease during the week in the visible supply of wheat. Total sales today, l,(i2!,500 shaies. Speculative bonds were weak and the market generally was iricgulnr, Total sales, par value, $3,315,000.
