PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE
Tonnage of Last Year Exceeded by Six
million Tons That of Any
Previous Year.
The year 1903 stands as the high
water mark of prosperity In the
anthracite coal trade, as the tonnage
for that year exceeded by more than
«,000,000 tons that of any previous
year, and the demand for coal was so
good as to make it possible to dispose
of the product at prices whioh
brought a fair return to all con
cerned in the industry. Some signifi
cant figures in connection with the
production of Pennsylvania anthra
cite during 1903 have been collected
by Mr. VVilUam W. Ruley, special
agent of the United States geological
waivey, and will be included In Mr.
E. W. Parker's report on the produc
tion of coal in 1903, which Is a regular
feature of the survey's annual volume
ou the mineral resources of the United
States.
At the eommencement of 1903 there
was practically no anthracite in stock,
as the amount which had been mine!
after the strike of 1902 had gone
directly into consumption. All that
could be mined during the first three
months of 1903 was in immediate de
mand.
With the opening of navigation and
a reduction in price on April 1, dealers
at all points endeavored to lay in an
ample supply of coal to meet their fall
and winter requirements. This made
a brisk demand for the nroduct dur
lag the spring and summer months,
with the resultant accumulation oi
stocks in dealers’ hands. The early
arrival of cold weather, however, and
the prolonged severity of the winter
created an unusually brisk demand
for coal.
In connection with the large pro
duction, It is Interesting to note ths
Increase in the shipments of the small
sizes of coal during 1903 over those ot
previous years. This 13 especially
noteworthy on account of the opinioc
generally expressed at the close of ths
anthracite strike, that bituminous
coal had largely supplanted anthra
cite for steam purposes, and would
continue to hold this trade to thi
exclusion of the small sizes of the lat
ter product. On the contrary, how
ever, the consumption of these smaller
sizes of coal increased 2,463,694 tons ic
1903 over 1901. It would seem thai
the only cause which would seriously
affect the prosperity of the anthracite
business Is the general condition ot
the entire country. As long as the
people at large are able to buy anthra
cite, it will not want a market
It is also of interest to note an
' Increase of 15 cents in the average
value per ton for coal at the mines
| The s total production was 66.351.71J
| tons, valued at $152,036,448. The aver
age price per ton was $2.50; the sum
i her of men employed was 150,483; an?
j the average number of days that each
man worked was 206.
Tables are given in the report whtcn
shows the production by counties for
the years 1902 and 1903; also the ship
ments of anthracite and the propor
tion of sizes shipped. A tabular ar
rangement of the various sections of
the anthracite fields is given, with s
list of ten railroads that enter the ter
ritory.
The anthracite fields comprise an
[ area of somewhat over 430 squan
miles, and are located in the eaatera
middle part of the state, (n the coua
ties of Carbon, Columbia, Lacka
wanna, Luzerne, Northumberland,
Schuylkill and Susquehanna. They
are classed under three general dtri
■Ions, namely, the Wyoming, Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions Geologically
they are divided into fields or basins,
which are again subdivided into dis
tricts.
The Bernice field, in Sullivan coun
ty, is not included in any of these re- I
gions. The classification of the prod
uct of this field is a matter of some
contention. The fracture of the coat
and some of its characteristics are
more like those ot some bituminous j
or sfmianthracito coals than strict
anthracite, but on account of its high
percentage of fixed carbon and low
percentage of moisture it is classed as
anthracite by the second Pennsyl
vania geological survey, and the
product is so included in this report.
DEATH THAT IS PAINLESS,
Stan*? Tramps Who Take Their Last
Sleep on Burning Calm Banks
in Pennsylvania.
Death comes In many forms in th»
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania, but
only one form is painless and pleasant,
and to only one the victims go uncon
sciously. It Is the death of the burning
culm bank, says the New York Sun.
Many times during the year is such
t death recorded when one of these
great culm banks is burning. The fir*
Is not seen in the daytime, and at night
It shines only with a faint glow
1 through the layers of ashes which se^
' arate the live coals fram the outer air.
To these burning LJlnks tramps and
other unfortunates, forced to spend s
night in the open air, go when the nights
grow chilly. The warm breath of the
culm lures them on with a promise of a
warm bed for the night, and they 1U
down to sleep in the comfortable atmos
phere of the bank and never open their
eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from the
bank waft over their «o softly that they
are soon asleep, and tu many cases they
ne^tr awaken, being suffocated during
vh night

I “filfc BRI NT’S DIS IS I
I Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are ■
■ drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. 9
FOIEYSKIDNEYCURE
9 stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues ■
m of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out M
9 the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and 9
9 the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, 9
9 causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. 9
9 If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY’S 9
9 , KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a 9
■ I fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. 9
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years* B
G. B„ Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: B
“About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely Mg
cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of IBg
Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and HjH
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that jRjgf
I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four hM
years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and HB
heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from EB
kidney or bladder trouble."
