Show Thursday, June 5, 1952 THE r Comprahensve Industrial Commission Report Gives Yearly Coal Summary Production in the coal mines of Utah dropped by 375,481 tons during 1951 (below the total production figure o f the year before, according to a report Issued by the Industrial Commission of Utah er and released by A. N. Smith, in charge of mines. Tonnage produced in 1951 totaled 6,088,526 as compared to 6,454,-00- 7 produced during the previous year. Of the 1951 total, rail mines produced 5,803,357 and truck mines produced 285,169 tons. This compared with the 5,806,085 produced in rail mines in 1950 and the 657,922 tons produced in truck mines during that same year. The number of mines reporting also decreased by 12. Rail mines reporting totaled 27 as compared to 24 the year before while truck mines dropped from 42 to 27. Three of the truck mines reported during the previous year were reported under the heading of rail mines in this latest report, Commissioner Smith pointed out, because all coal produced Is hauled to rail heads for shipment to markets and therefore should be classified as rail mines even though the railroad does not extend to the production sites. Another discouraging aspect in the coal industry picture (based on these reports is the decrease in the number of employees from one year to the next. In 1950, underground employees totaled 3,454 as compared to 2,937 in the year covered by this latest report. Sun face employees also dropped from 1,014 to 995 but, on the other hand, office staffs increased from 133 to com-6ion- The der used 1,566,664, 29,475, (1,757,895); number of detonators used, 1,138,8888, 77,300, I,- 216,188 (1,356,644); number of 10 shot batteries 259, 27, 286 (296); number of 50 shot 'batteries 1, 7, 8 (10); number of electric cap lamps 4,227, 318, 4,545 (4,959); number permissible mechanical loaders 102, 8, 110 (109); number mechanical loaders 16, 4, 20 (20); number permissible conveyors 100, 24, 124 (121). conNumber 28, 5, 33 (49); number veyors permissible cutting machines 157, 15, 172 (196); number cutting machines 25, 10, 35 (36); number permissible electric dirlls 23, 10, 33 (34); number permissible haulage motors 152, 17, 169 (no notation made in last years report) ; number haulage motors 131, 0, 131 (162).
