NOW ON TO The Sun Special Service. WASHINGTON, D. (., Nov. 29. last year for which no tonnages were were employed exjierimcu-tallnml the same would apply to Hie sixty so rcMrted in 1924 and the sixteen in 1923. Little is available concerning the use of loading machines prior to 1923. The entire development was pronouncedly experimental, and tlie incomplete information received by the bureau for earlier years does not lend itself to statistical tabulation. It is clear, however, that the number of machines in use anil the tonnage loaded were much less than in 1923. For statistical purposes the cnininerieal use of the loadpr may be said to begin in 1923. In 1925 the leading states in the order of production by machine loaders were West Virginia (including Tazewell county, Va.), Illinois, Indiana, Wyoinnig, Pennsylvania, Virginia (except Tazewell county) and Kentucky. Preliminary reports received from manufacturers and mine operators indicate that when the complete figures for the present year are collected a further increase will be shown in their use, in the number of mines employing them and the total tonnage of machine loath'd coal. Utahs production of liituminous for rcxirtcil, the seven days ending with November 13th, last, totaled 96,001) tons, Colorado 244,000, New Mexieo (15,000 und Wyoming 188,000. Coke production for Utah and Washington states combined is estimated at four thousand tona for the week ending with November 20th. All records of weekly production tho country over were again broken in the seven days ending November 20th. The total output for that time is estimated at 14,255,000 net tons, an increase of 440,000 or 3.2 per cent over the week preceding. The highest production ever recorded in any year prior to the present one was 13344,000 tons in the last week before the great strike of 1910. Present output of bituminous during this calendar year to November 20th approximately two hundred and seventy-four working days amounts to 502.062.000 net tons. Production of anthracite during the week ended November 20th is estimated at 1,760,000 net tons. This is the first week since that ended October 23d which has been uninterrupted by a holiday. Conqiarcd with the average weekly production in October, output in the week of Novcmlier 0 20th shows a decrease of about tons or more than 15 per cent. Part of this loss was due to flood conditions in certain of the mines. Total output of anthracite from January 1st to November 20th totals 75,- 139.000 tons. The rate of beehive coke production for the country as a whole continues at approximately 200,000 tons a week. For the seven days ended November 20th the total output is estimated at 206.000 net tons, a gain of four thousand over the preceding week. Figures show that increases in Pennsylvania and Virginia were partially offset by losses in West Virginia and in the Southern grnap Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. 322,-00- LOADING MACHINES IN BITUMINOUS MINES - THE Rapid increase in the number of underground loading machines in bituminous mines is shown by a statistical canvass just completed by the United States bureau of mines. In 1925 a total of ninety-fiv- e mines in fifteen states had installed three hundred and forty machines which put out 6,243,104 net tons of coal. Fourbut did not teen others had forty-twreport the tonnage from them, but in most of this group the installations were experimental and only small amounts of coal had been loaded. In 1923 the quantity was reported to be 1,879,726 tons. The study brings to completion an inquiry begun by the United States geological survey in 1921. The method of gathering information has been that every known manufacturer of loading equipment was asked to furnish the bureau with a list of the eompanies that had purchased or installed them. Those thus indicated were then asked to supply information as to the number of machines in use, the mines where used, the dates of installation and the cage of coal loaded by machines. In addition to the list of users furnished by machine manufacturers, and the operation and production data furnished by mine operators, a further check against omissions was made by means of an inquiry in the annual statistical questionnaire sent to all operators. Thus two sources of information have been' used. For the purpose of this study a loading machine. has been defined as one that gathers coal at the face in an underground mine. and loads it mechanically on either mine cars or conveyors. Drag scrafiers have been included when handloading was eliminated.Belt or shaking conveyors, whether at the face or elsewhere, have not .been counted unless the act of loading onto the conveyor was performed mechanically, the purpose of the study being to determine the degree of Bubstitutoin of machine work for handshovding. Surface stripping operations arc not included. No attempt has been made to compare the number and performance of different makes or types of machines. Those belonging to tho manufacturer and temporarily installed for demonstration or experiment have not been counted. In a great majority of cases the operators, when questioned, stated that the use of machines was still in an experimental stage and that tonthey were not ready to report available these nage figures. Were for these operations thpy would proli-abl-y add little to the 6,243,104 tons reported by the mines which could furnish tonnage figures. It may be assumed, therefore, that practically machines used aQ of the forty-tw- o : o, At a meeting of the Price City v, all the local physicians were there. The latter pledged their support in helping to make the institution It was agreed that in the future the oiiernitng room rates urc to bo $5.01) for tonsils, $7.50 for minor and $12.50 for major oicra-- . lions. The hospital board is to regulate all admissions, while Recorder Smith will determine the ability of patients to )uty for treatment and okey all admitted. If receipts for tlie remainder of the ealcndur year, including October and November, hold up to these last two months and stricter regulations arc enforced the institution will break even. The major portion of the accounts receivable are considered good. Disbursements for the present year up to last Monday were $18,414.73 with receipts of $13,918.82, leaving a deficit of $4495.91. Accounts receivable are $3631.85 and those jmyuble $4285. Accounts payable over the receipts are $653.75. Cost of electricity $491.07. Total deficit $5550.73. Physical valuation of hospital $5000. Actual loss since ofieration $500.73. The figures here given are from a report to be made to the city council at its next meeting and to he submitted by Arthur N. Smith, city auditor, and who last week took an inventory of assets at the institution. OUTLOOK FOR SEVIER VALLEY COAL IS EXCELLENT President J. S. Pyeatt of the Denver and Rio Grande Western with Assistant General Manager A. C. Shields and other officials of his company was in Salina Friday of last week and inspected the work being done in the canyon on the railroad grade by the Utah Construction company. Pyeatt expressed himself as well pleased with the progress, stating that difficult construction work has to be done and this is heavier than he had exited. lie was ready, however, he added, to go on with it and the railroad would be built at an earlier date than most people expected, provided no obstacles were placed in his way and' no injunction taken out against the road when it became necessary to block the highway to complete construction. He was especially desirous to have the attitude of the county commissioners and state road commission defined at the present time before going to New York City to ask the directors of the company for additional appropriations to carry on the work. For this reason a conference was agreed upon between President Pyeatt, the county commissioners, the state road commission and Generad Manager H. E. Lewis of the Sevier Valley Coal company. Monday last Chairman Joseph F. Peterson and Commissioners Abe Hansen and Carl Tuft, together with Lewis and President Pyeatt, met the state commission and it was apparent that all officials were in perfect harmony with the project of the Denver and Rio Grande and no handicap will be created to re- -' delay things. President Pyeatt turned to Denver, Colo., and from where he will proceed to New York City and make necessary financial arrangements with the railroad. It looks, and the president stated canso, like the railroad through the comwill be Nioche to least at up yon pleted earlier than the initial action of the Denver and Rio Grnade two years ago indicated. The decision of the United States circuit court of apforpeals just published that the line of feited the right way through a certain part of the canyon will not have any retarding influence. The circuit court canceled the right of way only for that part of the canyon beyond Nioehc, but allowed the right of way over the first twenty miles connecting Salina with the coal mines and when the rialroad later on continues to build a connection from Nioche to the main line there probably will not be any objection made by any of the parties involved. Aa to Smokeless Fuel is a smokeless coal The term combustion engineer, the to challenge stated O. P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer of the bureau of mines, in addressing the recent conference on bituminous coal at Pittsburg, Pa. None of his art is needed to make anthracite and coke bum smokelessly, hut as increasing amounts of volatile innttcr are associated in the fuel more and more demands are made upon his skill in furnare design, in adaptation to servire and to care in operation to keep within absolute or even practical smokeless limits. Illustrations can be found of smokeless performance of every fuel, so that the statement may he made that it can be done. That it is not done simply indicates that it is not wanted badly enough to pay (Continued On Fife Four) Hos- pital board und members of the city council with Recorder Arthur N.

These have cost close around twelve hundred dollars and are of the most substantial kind. At noon today a depth of eighteen hundred and six feet had been attained with a stronger showing of gas and of oil as well. The drill is in the top of the caprock and any stroke may penetrate the Dakota sands. At least such is the opinion of President Russell and Driller Ed Walsh. Forty feet above this depth an oil sand (streak) was penetrated a few days ago which gives off small quantities of petroleum that augers well for the future. Experienced oilmen visiting the property lately are more confident that! ever of a producer. Good progress is expected from now. on with more substantial machinery and the new derrick. The salt wateg is now entirely shut off with the result that no trouble is being experienced from this.

At present the plans are still in embryo. R. J. Turner of., this city, resident agent and attorney for John'W. McGee and associates, tells The Sun that he is looking for the arrival any day of a Standard rig being shipped in here from the Texas fields to begin drilling fur oil at a point on the south side of the Price river about half way between Wellington and Price. The site of the first well lias been staked off for several days now, while the excavation for a reservoir nearby and adjacent to the canal of the Carbon Water company has for some time been completed. The pond will bo filled from the canal and is so situated as to catch any rainfall or snow drainage. An electric light plant and houses for the accommodation of employes will romc in dun course. The McGee crowd has large holdings of lands locally as well as in the Ilill Creek and Leland Bench sections out in the Uintah Basin country. CARBON WATER COMPANY FINISHES IMPORTANT WORK Probably the niORt inqairtant step in the big improvement program of the Carlsrn Water company was finished this week with the completion of the section of tho canal to replace the sidchill fluinc to the west of Price. The Austin cut near the head of the canal was eut to grade for the first time since its construction three years ago, and the temporary flume across Gordon Creek has bepn cemented up. Water was turned into the canal and Lars Gunderson, superintendent of the work, has a crew of men working at puggling the banks as the water passes. E. K. Olson, president, states that the water will be raised in the canal at this point by putting in a dam at the lower end of tho new section. By leaving water in the ditrh all winter the banks will be settled, tested and ready for service next season. If it is found ncressary portions of tlie canal will be concrete lined. The next step will be the construction of an ample flume over Gordon Creek. When this job is completed the greatest deferts of the canal will have been overcome. Because of delays during the short working season, permanent improvements may not be made on Pinaele or Miller Creek flumes this year, but they will be repaired. Olson states that when the work is completed the canal will bo ready to carry a hundred and second-fee- t of water next twenty-fiv- e season. Prire City hospitals first romance rame about yesterday when Lcannrd Frandsen and Miss Elta Davis were married at Grand Junction, Colo. Its the same old story of the groom being a patient there (reeently) and the bride his nurse. Frandsen is engaged in tho electrical business at Price. The membership council of the Price Chamber of Commerce on last Tuesday evening considered the matter of a county hospital as a necessary solution of the evident inadc- -: quncy of the present city institution. B. W. Dalton, president, presided and gave an explanation of the eoutem- -t plated project and of the legal procedure for its aeeomplidiment. He. stated that based on eight thousand taxpayers approximately eight hundred and twenty-fiv- e signers and inside of Price would be necessary to make the petition ef fesFifty-fou- r thousand dollars tive. eoubl be raised under present valua- -' lions. Representatives of the local tax (layers unit expresed themselves as in favor of a county institution. A. J. Lee explained that the county is at present bonded up to $190,060, and suggested a direct levy in installments to eover the rost of the project. He was opjsised to further bunding and stated that the local taxpayers association would recommend to the legislature the passage of a law making the sanction of 50 Kr cent of the legal voters necessary to a bom issue, and suggested that a To hospital should bn this projiosition Mayor C. H. Madsen took issue and said that very few were. The proxwition was endorsed by I)r. Charles Hugger i, who explained the unit system of construction. Committees were a pointed by Chairman Dalton for carrying the initial step of petitioning the taxpayers into effect. For Price, Mrs. Grace A. Cooper and Nick Rinctli; Runny-sid- e, J. F. MacKnight and Dave Man- -' otti; Wellington and Columbia, W. A. Engle; lleler, Dr. Charles Rug-ge- ri ; Spring Canyon, Orson T. Brooks and Mayor C. 11. Madsen; Spring Canyon and Scofield, Mrs. G. It. West, Mrs Wallace A. Lowry and J. W. Loofbourow; flibsonmine and Gordon Creek, A. J. Lee, and Castle Gate and Rolapp, Orson 1J. Madsen. These original committees will organize the drive for signers within the respective rominunities for whirh they were selected. The petitions wili be prepared by Dalton, and it is contemplated that the work of obtaining the required legal signers will be completed by Saturday of this week. The method of voting for the appropriation necessary, whether by tax levy or by bond, will be decided after the petitions are signed. . both-outsid- two-ye- ar BROKEN BONES AND INJURIES OTHERWISE TO THREE VERNAL, Nov. 27. Ross Holley of Prire, who several days ago was severely injured in an automobile wreck north of Vernal and whose condition for a time was critical, has improved to the extent where a fatal termination of his injuries is no longer feared. Accompanied by Elza Emma Johnstun, Mrs. and lardy Hardys sister, the ear, which Ilardy was driving at an excessive rate of speed, struck a layer of loose shnle at the approach to a small bridge and turned over twice. All the occupants were injured, suffering broken bones and contusions. 1 e |
