In his report on the production of coal in 1901, now in press, in Mineral Resources of the United States, 1901, United States Geological Survey, Mr. E. W. Parker presents the statistics of fatal and non-fatal accidents which oc- curred in the process of mining coal in eighteen states and territories during 1901. In these eighteen states and territor- ies the total number of lives lost in 1901 was 1,467, and the total number of men injured was 3,943. The number of tons of coal mined for each life lost varied from 426,094 in Maryland to 49,424 in Indian Territory. The average num- ber of tons mined for each of the 1467 lives lost in these eighteen states and territories was 188,668. It is interest- ing to note that in Pennsylvania the number of tons of bituminous coal mined per life lost was a little more than double the amount mined per life lost. in the anthracite mines in the same. Maryland enjoys the distine- tion of the largest tonnage per life lost. while the Indian Territory has the largest percentage of deaths for the tonnage mined. In the following table are shown the details of accidents for the states from which it has been possible to secure the figures.

The value of natural gas consumed in the United States in 1901 was $27,- 067,500, which, at 15 cents per 1,000 cu- bic feet, is equivalent to 180,450,000,000 cubic feet. If it were possible to store this gas in a cube, the density through- out being equal, its sides would be 5,- 530 feet in length, or 250 feet greater than the sides of a cubic mile. If 20,- 000 cubic feet of natural gas be taken as equal to 1 ton of coal, 8,458,000 tons of coal, valued at $3.20 per ton, would be required to yield the sum of money for which the natural gas sold. The value of the production for 1901 was greater than that of 1900 by $3,- 368,826, or over 14 per cent. It also ex- ceeded that of 1899 by $6,992,627. It may also be interesting to note that the value of the 69,389,194 barrels of petro- leum produced in the United States during 1901 was $66,447,335, and that the value of the natural gas amounted to 40.7 per cent. of the value of the petro leum for the same year, and that, furth- er, when the fuel value of the coal and wood displaced by natural gas in 1900 — which amounts to $32,445,156—is con- sidered, this estimated displacing val- ue of natural gas is nearly" 40 per cent. of the entire value of the crude petro- leum produced in the same year. There were 10,297 wells producing natural gas at the close of 1901, of which number 74 were not turned into the gas mains, and 2,088 producing wells were drilled in the same year; there were 453 dry holes, or non-pro- ducers, and 1,084 were abandoned. In 1900 there were 10,293 producing wells, of which number 24 were shut in; 1,769 wells were drilled in the same year; 359 were dry holes and 991 were aban- doned. There were very nearly 800 miles of pipe laid during 1901, the mains varying from 2 inches up to 20 inches. This brought the total up to 21,848 miles of natural gas mains of from 2 inches to 38 inches in diameter in use at the close of 1901. During the year 1801 there was an unusual amount of consolidation of the older companies, and there were organ- ized also a number of new companies with large capital, with a view chiefly of utilizing the great areas of high- pressue gas territory in Lewis, Harri- son, Marion and Wetzel counties of West Virginia by the construction of larger and longer pipe lines, so as to market this increased production in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. This involves the outlay of many millions of capital. As a source of power natural gas stands at the head of the list for econo- my among the fuels, both as to ex- pense of installation and expense of operation. It has been supplying the power for a very large number of factories and operations in the gas belt, and lately it has been extensively applied in creat- ing the power by which the natural gas itself is compressed from a low to’ a high pressure when the original press- ure has failed and the pipes are insuf- ficient to deliver the necessary quanti- ty of gas at the well pressure. A num- ber of these compressors work up very close to 1,000 horse power, with an economy that enables 8 to 10 cubic feet of natural gas to develop a horse pow- er for an hour, a saving of from 40 to 50 per cent. over high-duty steam en- gines. It is estimated that fully 1,000,000 do- mestic fires are supplied by natural gas and that 4,000,000 people are furnished with this ideal fuel and light. Companies or individuals to the num- ber of 1,545 report the use of natural gas in manufacturing establishments of various kinds, numbering in all 5,742, including 102 iron and steel works and 219 glass works.

A new political deal in Somerset county was formulated this week when Alex. Coffroth, Gen.W. H. Koontz,Alex. B. Grof and “Timmie” Scull got their heads together and decided to. purify (?) the politics of Somerset county by placing a fusion ticket in the field they, of course, to be the beneficiaries of the purification. General Koontz is the only man of the aggregation whose course is causing any surprise, and Yes, Mr. Democrat, we will admit | that there are more trusts than were ever known before in this country; but, another fact. Do you know that there are more men employed at good wages than were ever before known?— Hannibal (Mo.) Courier-Post.

There is a great big nigger in the woodpile of Scull, Coffroth & Co., and a lot of fel- lows who signed nomination papers a few days ago didn’t see the African. But they are beginning to see him now, and a good many of them are already denouncing what they at first supposed was at least a harmless movement, if not beneficial. But we will drop the subject for the present by promising you some very interesting reading be- tween now and the day of election. He Learned a Great Truth. It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mistress ‘Wesley: “Why do you tell that child the same thing over and over again?’ “John Wesley, because once telling is not enough.” It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy cures colds and grip; that it counteracts any tendency of these diseases to result in pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

The following from the Democratic Connellsville Courier is a pretty good editorial for Pennypacker: Governor-that-was - and - would - be Pattison is sounding. the same old fa- miliar keynote in this campaign. Re- form is a stock word in politics, and the other party’s “Machine” is a great term to juggle with. Reform, like charity, covers a multitude of sins, present and prospective, and the Mec- chine is a fearsome bugaboo to frighten children with. Reform is always the cry of the Outs. They areever virtuous, the salt of the earth and the saviors of the nation, while the Ins are shameful- ly corrupt and utterly unworthy. Philadelphia politics are no doubt far from being ideal in their purity, and this observation applies with equal force to both political parties; in fact, to be entirely frank, it might be as gen- erally applied nearer home. GARRETT COUNTY’S BOON. A correspondent of one of the east- ern papers speaking of the present prosperity in Garrett county,Md.,says: Garrett county is still enjoying the boom which has been in progress for the past two years. Real estate seems to be in more demand than ever, and prices received are surprisingly large. Land immediately around Oakland, which a few years ago could be bought for from $50 to $100 an acre, is now be- ing sold for $250. Particularly is this the case with the land lying on both sides of the road leading to Mountain Lake Park. The town of Oakland is also enjoying a steady boom. It has a population of about 1,500 persons, with two banks, six churches and 32 business places, includ- ing saloons and restaurants. Houses are in great demand, and at this time there is not a vacant house to be found. They rent at a good figure. Several handsome residences are now being erected, and will be occupied when completed by the owners—Joseph E. Harned, R. E. Sliger, Wm. O. Cleve- land, Charles A. Defenbaugh, T. C. Claget and Ernest Townshend. . The demand for coal land also con- tinues.

The coal land located on the Yough- -— = iogheny river about six miles from Oakland, is also being bought up. With the extension of the Manor and Oak- land railroad from its present terminus —Swallow Falls—to Oakland, one of the richest and most valuable coal fields in Garrett county will be opened. This will be done if the present owners of the railroad can succeed in purchas- ing several large tracts of timber land. Another section of Garrett county which is now being developed is that along the Savage river. A large amount of timber land in that section has been purchased by Bond Bros., of Pittsburg, Pa. These parties are now building a standard guage railroad from Crab Tree, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, to their timber lands, and which, when completed, will be about ten miles in length. A town named Bond has al- ready been established, and quite a number of houses have been ereeted and occupied. Those who expect absolute purity in politics are dreamers. Bulldozing and bribery, abuse and scandal, chicanery and deception have been a part and parcel of politics since the days of the unanimously-elected Washington, and will we fear always continue to be.
