Little ia available concerning the use of loading machines prior to 1923. The entire development waa pronouncedly experimental, and the incomplete information receired by the bureau for earlier years does not lend itself to statistical tabulation. It is clear, however, that the number of machines in use and the tonnage loaded were much less than in 1923. For statistical purposes the commerical use of the loader may be said to begin in 1923. In 1925 the leading states in the order of production by machine loaders were West Virginia (ineluding Tasewell county, Va.), Illinois, Indiana, Wyomnig, Pennsylvania, Virginia (except Tasewell 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 loaded coal.

These have cost close around twelve hundred dollars and are of the moat substantial kind. At noon today a depth of eighteen hundred and six feet had been attained with a stronger showing of gaa and of oil as well. The drill ia 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 thia depth an oil aand (streak) waa penetrated a few days ago which gives off small quantities of petroleum that angers well for the future.

McGee and associates, tells The Snn that he ia looking for the arrival any day of a Standard rig being shipped in here from the Texas fields to begin drilling for oil at a point on the aouth side of the Price river about half way between Wellington and Price. The site of the first well haa been staked off for several days now, while the excavation . for a reservoir nearby and adjacent to the canal of the Carbon Water company haa for some time been completed. The pond will be filled from the canal and ia ao situated as te catch any rainfall or snow drainage. An electrie light plant and houses for the accommodation o: employes will come in due course. The McGee crowd haa large holdings o:! lands locally as well as in the Hil Creek and Leland Bench sections out in the Uintah Basin country. ! CARBON WATER COMPANY FIN- ISHES IMPORTANT WORK Probably the moat important step in the big improvement program o. the Carbon Water company was finished thia week with the completion of the lection of the canal to replace the sidehill flume to the west o: Price. The Austin eut near the hea of the canal waa eut to grade for the first time since its construction three years ago, and the temporary flume across Gordon Creek has been cemented np. Water waa turned into the canal and Lara Gunderson, superintendent of the work, has a crew o: men working at puggling the banka as the water passes. E. K. Olson, president, atatea that the water will be raised in the canal at thia point by putting in a dam at the lower end o: the new section. By leaving water in the ditch all winter the banka will be settled, tested and ready for service next season. If it ia found necessary portions of the canal will be concrete lined. The next step will be the construction of an ample flume over Gordon Creek. When thia job ia completed the greatest defects of the canal will have been overeome. Because of delays during the short working season, permanent improvements may not be made on Pinade or Miller Creek flumes this year, but they will be repaired. Olson atatea that when the work ia completed the canal will be ready to earry a hundred and second-feof water next twenty-fiv- e !
