Losses due to all causes were 50.3, mine disability 2.0 and to no market 47.8 per cent. During the same time those of Colorado went 33.7, New Mexico 48.6 and Wyoming 41.5 per cent. The first week of the new coal year April 6th to 11th brought but little change in the trend of soft production. Total output--in-cludin- g ignite and coal coked at the mines is estimated at 7,890,-00- 0 tons. Although this was an increase of three hundred and thousand over the record of the preceding holiday week, forty-fothe average daily output declined slightly. As against an avworking days erage of 1,347,000 tons for the five and of the week ending April 4th the average for the latter dropped to 1,315,000 tons. Preliminary telegraphic reports on daily load-linlast week show a sharp decline on Easter Monday. There was some recovery on Tuesday, but the total for the two days was about four thousand cars less than in the seven days before. From the viewpoint of soft production the calendar year 1925 stands nearly thirteen million tons behind the average of the three are years of activity. Mine reports for the week ended April 4th observand general difficult to interpret because of the occurrence ance in the union districts of the eight hours holiday. The reports for mines that shut down on that date have been comas a puted on the basis of a forty hours week. Over thea- country noraial one. whole the day counted as slightly more than half Increases in working time were reported by several districts. The most important gains were in the fields of Southern West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, and doubtless were associated with the opening of the 1925 season of lake navigation. The improvement in this territory was more than offset by larger losses in other districts. The net result was. a decrease in the average working time and the daily rate of production. ur six-tent- hs gs output was established. The production for the month was 3,468,-00- 0 net tons, against 3,411,000 in January, the previtius maximum record. The nearest approach to this figure in earlier years was in May, 1923, when 3,328,000 tons were produced. The plants were operated at 89.3 per cent of capacity. Of the seventy-fiv- e were active and seven were idle. The high rate blants sixty-eigof byproduct reflects the activity of the iron and steel industry. The output of pigiron was considerably larger than in January and but little below that of March, 1924. Beehive coke, on the Febcontrary, declined appreciably. As against 1,054,000 tons-i- num-. the was greater March 1,006,000, total despite for ruary, the beeof ber of days in the latter month: The decreasing importance hive is shown by the fact that of the total made in March 77.5 per cent came from byproduct and but 22.5 per cent from beehive ovens, whereas in 1923 the percentages were 66 and 34, respectively. To produce the coke made in March required the consumption of about 6,570,000 tons of coal and of which 4,983,000 were consumed in byproduct and 1,587,000 in beehive ovens. The present rate of consumption of coal in ovens is thus in excess of sixty-fiv- e million tons a year. Of the byproduct made in March 2,905,000 tons came from plants associated with iron furnaces and 563,000 from merchant or other plants. The proportion contributed by the furnace was thus 83 per cent or slightly more than in February; ANTHRACITE AND BEEHIVE COKE. Anthracite recovered in the week ended April 11th. On the out, basis of 32,945 cars loaded it is now estimated that the total put was 1,723,000 net tons, an increase over the preceding holiday week of 241,000. Compared with the week ended March 28th thousand tons. In spite of the there was a gain of eighty-thre- e the present rate is 7 per cent iower than improvement, however, the average at this date of recent years. The comulative production during the first fifteen weeks of 1925 totaled approximately 24,264,000 tons, a decrease from the record of1 the corresponding period of 1924 of 2,061,00 tons or nearly 8 per cent Production of beehive coke continues to decline steadily. The estimated total output in the week ended April 11th is placed at 214,000 net tons, a decrease of 6000. The principal loss occurred in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the only gains shown were in the States. Output in the Connellsville region was curtailed sharply and more than a thousand five hundred ovens were blown out. Cumulative production of beehive during 1925 to April 11th stood at 3,592,000 net tons. ht non-furna- ce trans-Mississip- if pi RED CROSS WORK -- 3 s? .v- Institute Booked For the Desert Gymnasium In Near Future Salt Lake City will have the first of a series of fire first aid and institutes to be held by the life-savin- t;T; ""if ' g American National Bed .

About forty more trees will be put out later to fill in the vacant spaces. Nearly three hundred and fifty shrubs of various kinds are now there. The work was done by sixty-eigboys from the Ilarding school. Eight men, under Hansen, directed the planting. The park, as laid out, covers three acres of land directly west of City Park, and is platted to include several gravel walks, hut no driveways. The legion plans later to erect either a fountain or monument in the center at a cost of approximately five thousand dollars. The hardwood trees arc white and green ash, Ennqieaii elm, silver maple and spruce. Following planting, the Service Star Tagion women served a dinner for the workers lit Notre Dame llnll.

So when the Service Star folks asked to be allowed to improve this plot it was felt that it would only be fulfilling its destiny to best advantage to carry out such a plan. Eventually there will be a suitable fountain or other ornamental structure erected in the center to be dedicated to the memory of tbe Carbon boys who made the great sacrifice in the worlds war. The plot holds something like two hundred trees in commemoration of all those who served in the conflict. Much shrubbery is also placed to add to the beauty of the grounds. ht OIL FEVER, AGAIN Price City Lots Being Taken Under Lease In Large Numbers.

Returning to Salt Lake City from a trip into Emery and adjacent counties in company with E. 1L Burdick, geologist, during which he examined in person various sections of lands of which the numbers would include them in the federal school grant of statehood, W. II. Farr, assistant attorney general, said last Saturday he was convinced of the value to Utah of this form of investigation in contested cases. "I plan, said he, to recommend to the land board that a personal investigation of this character be made in the case of every section in which eontest is brought. In the end, I am convinced, the outlay necessary will save the state money. It will determine, in many cases, whether the land can bo classed as known mineral at the time the state a title would have attached, and, if so, of course further contest is futile. In other instances the lands are so worthless by reason of lack of value for grazing or mineral purposes as to make resistance to contest inadvisable; Faulted areas may reduce the valuo of any mineral contests to a nullity.
