Contemplation 1920 and 1921. Estimates of the monthly production in 1921 have keen published from time to time in the weekly rejiort. The addition of wagon eoal will increase the total not over aix million tons, most of which came from the Northern and Middle Appalachians. The country as a whole in 1921 showed a decrease in production when eumjiared with 1920 of 27.8 per cent, but the decrease waa by no means uniform. The territory of Alaska, and a few local districts among them the Ixigan field of West Virginia rrjiort-e- d an increase, but in no state did the total production increase. Among the bigger producing states Pennsylvania, perhaps because of its dejiendeuce on the steel industry, showed the heaviest loss. Fuel Briquets Decline. In company with the production of soft coal the manufacture of fuel briquets declined sharply in 1921. The total output was 398,949 net tons, a decrease when comiiared with the year preceding of 168,243 tons or 30 per cent. The tot si value at the plant was $3,632,301 nearly a million dollars less than in 1920. The average value per ton, however, increased from $8.15 to $9.11 per ton. All districts reported a smaller output than in 1920, but the principal decrease was in the Eastern States, where also the increase in the year preceding had been must striking. The plants in that district oier-at- e largely on anthracite fires. It is to lie remembered that 1920 was a year of record production, owing to the shortage of coal whicli created an unusual demand for briquets. Production in 1921 compared favorably with that in other recent years, and was but 7907 tons behind 1917 and 78,280 tons behind 1918. In those years also coal was hard to obtain because large quantities were diverted from the regular trade to meet the demands of extraordinary wartime activities. With one exception all ointg which rrort-e- d in 1920 were operated in 1921, and Of one new plant began oj the fifteen plants which reiKirted eight used anthracite culm as the fuel constituent, one Arkansas one a mixture of anthracite culm and bituminous slack, one slack, one a mixture of bituminous coal, two carslack and bon residue from the manufacture of oil gas and one bituminous eoal first subjected to low temperature carbonization.

MG SSTIMMy DOME WORK Preparatory to continuance of drilling Derations at the Utah Oil Defining company 'a well out on the Farnhain dome twelve miles east from Price h the working crew is setting a casing, driving to reach at present a depth of something like sixteen hundred feet with this size of pi)ie. The hole is now close to seventeen hundred feet and ia nearly filled with water. This comes in from the Navajo foot sand around the thirteen-hundre- d h mark. The object in placing the casing is to shut off this water Work supply and make a dry hole. iu deejier drilling will be lessened, the mechanics of sinking will be much aided and better tally can be made of the ground through which the drill will pass. Alter this casing has been placed to aliout sixteen hundred feet tho hole will be put down to the foot mark or a little deeper if conditions are favorable. This contincasuation will take only an eight-inc- h ing.
