New England received less coal in 1922 than in 1921 and 1919, which were, respectively, years of industrial depression and a great strike. The 1922 receipts were much smaller than in any other recent years. The total quantity of anthracite received in 1922 was 6,452,000 net tons, and bituminous coal 18,815,000, which amounts were but 56 and 85 per cent, respectively, of the average receipts daring the six yean preceding. Coal as received during the year included about two million tons of foreign bituminous coal, nearly all of which entered New England ports after the middle of the year. The allrail movement of coal to New England and Eastern New York' for the week ended February 3d included 3447 can of anthracite and 3265 of bi tuminous forwarded through the prin cipal gateways over the Hudson river and through Rouse Point. This was a decrease of six hundred and forty-eigran of anthracite and an increase of of three hundred and seventy-fiv- e bituminous as compared with the week preceding. The total number of cars forwarded was approximately the same as in the corresponding week a year ht indi-eotsd't- re V miners 'iofnward during the latter part of of the hundred and twenty-tw- o Jaauary, but the total output exceeded in Dawson Mine No. 1, when a terrific feowumptiou e Pi and coal flowed into etor- - explosion occurred Aoduction of anthracite declined na5 eliffcty in the week ended February :Sd.

The .steady increase that has been in progress in the Conncllsville region for some weeks came to a halt, and the output declined to 244,100 tons. The decline is attributed to an increase in demand for heating coke and to car rtage. Cumulative production of beehive coke during the calendar vear to date now stands at 1,048.000' net tons. From the viewpoint of beehive eoke production this vear is 44 tier cent behind 1910, 32 behind 1920, 29 ahead of 1021 and about 180 per cent ahead ..

This was definitee ly established tonight when the corporation, owners of the property, announced it had been completely explored and all possibility of any of the entombed men still alive had vanished. The known death toll early today stood at a hundred and six. The two men who walked out of the workings last Friday morning brought the numlier of those accounted for to a hundred and six. Fourteen still lie in the tunnels in which they were working when the impact of the explosion is believed to have snuffed out their lives. Thirty bodies were found in Crosscuts 7 North and 10 and 11 South, the entries most distant from the entrance to the mine, yesterday and last night and were removed. Some of those still missing are believed to have been located under the wreckage and excavation already has been started to recover them. The work of recovering all of the fourteen may take several weeks, company officials declare. Crews will start today mucking out the material which litters the tunnels.

Hilton, who has represented the state in its contest for the projierty for school lands. Hilton says that the state will apjieal the ease to the secretary of the interior. Commissioner Spry held that the burden of proof as to the title of lands which have been withdrawn rests with the stale which must prove the week and this in New York City in the interstate commerce commission hearing on financial practices and relations between the Denver and Rio Grande, Western Jacifie and Missouri Pacific railroads as tlie result of the formers stockholders suit against twenty defendants for f200,(HH),000 in damages, Commissioner Henry C. Ball and J. Carter Fort represented the commission. Denver and Rio Grande is at present in the hands of receivers. Jeffery said that the building of the Western Pacific by the Denver and Rio Grande had been one cause of thfc downfall of the road. The engineers and bankers underestimated the rust of construction when it was begun in 1906, he asserted, and the San Francisco disaster in 1907 brought about an increased eost of lalior and materials. The panic of 1907 also gave the road a setback, he said, and difficulties arose in financing the obligations assumed for the construction of the Western Pacific until finally the Denver and Rio Grande defaulted on payment of interest on $50,000,000 bonds of the Western Pacific. Attempts were made, Jeffery said, to arrange so the burden of paying interest on the Western Pacific bonds could be eased for the Denver and ltio Grande. Several readjustment plans were proposed and discussed in 1914 and early in 1915, he said, before interest payments were defaulted. Jeffery said he never knew why jiayments were defaulted because the Denver and Rio GVande could fulfill its financial obligations to the Western Pacific. er noil-mine- ral character of the lands, rather than with the United States to show that they were known to be mineral in character when withdrawn. Until this is proved the lauds belong to the United States. Accordingly the stales pro- test was dismissed. The lands in question were withdrawn from the state by executive order March 4, 1912, and were included in a petroleum reserve. The township was surveyed in September and October of that year, this being approved by the surveyor general. On February 4 1921, Eds'ard Lichliter filed an application for a prosjieeting permit for oil and gas on all of Sec. 32 of the township and range, and on April 29, 1921, the director of the United States geological survey reported that this was not within the known gas fiehL, Meanwhile, March 3d, the state fill'd a protest against the application, alleging that the land was not, either at the time of the states admission to the union or at the time of the approval of the survey, known to be valuable for mineral or coal, and that it never has had any value as mineral land, and that, therefore, it passed to the state as school land. Hearing was held September 21st, and decision rendered in Jnne, 1922. According to testimony of two geologists the land lies on the San Rafael Swell about a mile and a half from an oil seep, but no oil has ever been found by drilling on this section or surrounding lands. The department had held previously that withdrawal and inclusion in s petroleum reserve stamps public land with a presumptive mineral character, thus casting upon an entryman the burden of showing the contrary as of the date of final proof. It was that the state had not established the fact that this land is not valuable for oil or gas. The commissioner affirmed then that the state can only claim title by proving the character.

With a beaut if til front which indicates even to thenuist unobservant that the building houses a hank, and arranged inside to facilitate the business of the institution and its iiatroiis, the new home is also fitted up with most modern fixtures, vaults and lighting arrangements. An overhead skylight gives a wonderful flood of daylight to the entire room and is most pleasing. Counters and wainseotting are of Grecian marble mf surjwssing elegance and beauty, the trimmings being in natural mahogany, aud the installation being undoubtedly the nicest of any small bank in the state. One feature which promises an innovation which will lie much appreciated is a ladies room to which both city and out of town - shopimn are invited to visit and rest, write Icttera or meet their friends. A strictly up to dale healing system is installed with tluiubiag and electric fixtures in keeping. The vaults one for the bank and another for the latest in nafety dcMit boxes are of concrete reinforced with crisscrossed steel bars, and are supplied with modern doors and locks. While the entire furnishings have not yet been put in place, the anxiety to get into the new quarters is rarh that the move is made at this time. Carbon County liank was organized in 1919, opening on June 2d. The officers and directorate have continued as originally formed pracneally without change and at present stand with Wallace A. Lowry as president ; K. M. and J. W. Hammond, vice presidents; O. P. M. Biersaeh, the cashier; Claud J. Enijiey, the assistant cashier, while other nieinliera of the directorate are P. O. Silvagni, It. IL Kirkatrick, Fred Lareher, F. C. Hill, George Christensen and Henry Moynier. The hank baa owned the Main street lot on which the new building stands ever since its organization, and the quarters which have served as a home for four years were merely temporary. Building operations started last August have given a fine structure which is a pride of the community.
