Total production has been about tons. About 127,735,000 comes from seams at least 16 feet thick. Only 1 of the nation's de posits worked are as thick. Utah's coals are notably free from Impurities, containing, as a rule, less than 7 to .7 ash and .5 sulphur. Palms and vegetation bordering a shallow inland sea millions of years ago were buried under sediments and compressed Into coal. The outcrops were first mentioned by topographic en gineers in 1853. In '54 the Utah Legislature offered $1000 for the discovery of coal not less than 18 inches thick within 40 miles of Salt Lake City. The search was fruitless. However, two Welsh miners opened a coal bank at Wales, In Sanpete County, and shipped coke by ox team to Salt Lake In 1S58. Commercial coal mining began with completion of the Union Pacific railroad In 1869, In 1878 the Rio Grande Western was built Into the Carbon County field. Large scale smelting operations swelled consumption in 1900 to a million tons. From 1914 to 1920 the State's .output doubled, reaching 6,005,199 tons in the latter year. The eoal horizon, extending from the Wasatch mountains into Colorado, is from 200 to 700 feet thick in alternating beds of sandstone and shale. Workable beds vary from 4 to 28 feet In thickness. They differ greatly in dimensions and become unminable in places. In certain Instances the coal has burned out for miles along the outcrop. Twenty Utah companies ship by rail. Smaller properties at Coalville and elsewhere in eastern Utah bring the total to 40. Twelve mines, averaging more than 100,000 tons s a year, produce about of the State's output. Modern machinery plays an imof the portant part. In 1935, 88 coal mined was cut by machines loaded mechanically. and 30 Electric haulage is common and hoists and long surface tramways are often required. Workers are safeguarded by the use of water sprays and sprinkling of coal dust, electric lighting, rock dusting, permissible explosives and protective clothing.

Many companies have built and maintain towns to house their employes. Depression, drouth; natural gas, fuel oil, hydroelectric competition and increased efficiency in coal burning had cut Utah's coal production in half by 1931. Then an upturn was indicated. Output for 1936 was about 3,150,000 tons, worth at the mines about $6,500,-00Of this, it Is estimated, $4,000,000 was paid out in wages and salaries; $1,000,000 for equip-msn- t, supplies and power; $450,000 for taxes and royalties; $225,000 for compensation and other Insurance, and the remainder for miscellaneous expenses. The industry as a whole has not shown a profit or paid dividends In recent years. cents of the coal dollar, Sixty-twit is computed, goes for payrolls; 15 4 cents to Utah business concerns for supplies and power; 7 cents for taxes and royalties and the rest for Insurance, maintenance, replacements and Interest. Miners, under a union agreement, work 35 hours a week underground at wages ranging from $5.78 to $7.50 for 7 hours. The bulk of th coal sold is slack, used tor Industrial purposes and domestic stokers. Markets are found In California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and, to a lesser extent, in Nebraska, Kansas and Alaska. About half the tonnage Is sold outside the state and brings money into Utah to apply on payrolls, supplies, freight and other local expenses. Coal mining and transportation is essentially a large volume, low-cooperation and It may be assumed that when Pacific Coast consumption approaches that of the Atlantic seaboard Utah's tonnages and freight rates will approximate those on the East coast. Before fuel oil prices dropped, coal was taken by most western railroads and many ships on the West coast. Mines and smelters, public utilities, cement and beet sugar industries and packing plants are now large users. Known supplies of petroleum, as measured in the life of a nation, are extremely limited. New wells are needed to maintain a supply ahead. Coal resources are sufficient for centuries. Low temperature carbonization of coal probably will supply the country with some petroleum substitutes. Hydrogenation of coal to gasoline has been successfully developed on a commercial scale. Because Utah coal is particularly suitable for such processes, its possibilities in this connection are most interesting. The future, with Its development for processing coal, may make that mineral by far the most important of the many rich resources of Utah.
