AN INDEPENDENT fYolume 9, Number 10 NEWSPAPER CARBON DISTRICT HINES WORKING REITER THAN EIGHTY PER CENT "U : wm rlGHI WITH STATE ENGINEER The Bun Special Service. WASHINGTON. D. C., July 31. For the wfeek ending with July 13th the eoal mines of Utah worked 88.3 per cent of fulltime capacity. The total losses from all reuses amounted to 1L7 per cent and labor troubles but 2.5 per cent. Eighteen properties with thousand tons capacity of ninety-tw- o weekly retorted. For the same eriod the Colorado mines went 75.5 per cent full rapacity. Fifty-fiv- e collieries with a weekly output of a hundred and fifty-five thousand tons made report. Total losses from all causes were 20.3 per cent; transportation disability, 12.1; labor shortage, 0.4; strikes, 6.1; mine disability, 0.5, and no market losses, 1.4 per cent. Wyoming produced only 0.2 per cent of capacity with total losses from all causes given as 99.8 per cent. New Mexieo worked full 100 per cent. The mine reports the eonntry over for the week ended July 15th show how serious has been the effect of the railwsy shopmen s strike on the mine working time. Losses due to traffic congestion grew steadily worse and extended into practically every field east of the Mississippi in which mines are now active. In the. Marian field, where a large majority of the prowr-tie- s were already shut down fulltime because of transportation disability, practically no improvement occurred, and in the Hazard district transiorta-tio- n losses increased 71.2 per cent. All districts in Southern West Virginia, where but little difficulty had previously been exfierienced in handling of traffic, showed greatly increased losses through transportation. The most serious of these were in Logan, Pocahontas. Tug River and the Kenora-Thacke- r, The loss ascribed to traiuqinrtatinn in Colorado waa confined to the mines in Routt county, where jthe difficulty is not one of handling traffic, but of inavoidable suspension of service on one railroad. Soma Slight Recovery. Returns on the coal output in the seventeenth week of the strike, July 24th to 29th, give the first test of the response of the invitation to reojien the mines. There has been a rate of three million nine hundred thousand tons qgainst three million seven hnu-dre- d thousand July 15th. The increase is due partly to more men at work in Pennsylvania, partly to improved car supply in Southern West Virginia and partly to heavier shipments from Alabama and the Far West. Production of anthracite remains practically zero. Loadings on Monday, July 24th, were 13,083 cars. This was four hundred and seventeen above the Monday preceding, but 3664 below the last Monday before the shopmen a strike. On Tuesday and Wednesday loadings declined, but on Thursday n slight recovery was noted. It appears likely that the total output for the seventeenth week will less than four million tons, probably only three million nine hundred thousand. In the lwest we-- of the strike 3.575.000 tons were produced and in the highest week, June 19th to 24th, 5363.000 tons. The decrease since is attributable to traffic congestion resulting from the shopmen strike. In the Middle Appalachian region the congestion is still acute, although a slight improvement over last week has been reported from certain districts. Normal production at thia season, including anthracite, is from 9,500, 000 to 12,000,000 tons. There is no indication of increased production in response to the invitation to reopen mines in anv of the strongly organised districts. More coal is earning out of the former non-unifields of Pennsylvania and a little more from the Fairmont and Kanawha districts of West Virginia, hut the additional supply from these suurc s is not yet significant in comparison with the requirements of the enum ry. Coke and Anthracite. Production of beehive coke appears to hove found a level at about u hundred thousand tons a week. The tilul estimsted output in the seven nays ended July 22d was 11)4.00 net tons. The principal factor in the improvement w.is an inriea-- e in the number of ovens in blast in the Count llsville region, where production increas'd f:oni 63,920 to 68.670 tons. Six thousand seven hundred and fifty ovens wer in blast on July 22d, against 4820 on M iv . 6th, when the strike was at its lieigli.-The present rate of nntnut, however, is less than 46 per cent of production in the week preceding the strike, and '.ut 28 per cent of the average weekly production in 1920. Cumulative production during 1922 to date stands at V 514.000 net tons, almost exactly Pm same as in the corresponding period in 1921. In comparison with 1920, however, the present year is more than per rent behind. In the sixteenth week of the strike. July 17th to 22d, five hundred and cars of anthracite about twenty-fiv- e thousand net tons were twenty-seve- n produced. Practically all of this was steam sizes from dredging operations. In the corresponding week last year Ih an expert at one thing mid the world will forgive ou for what von don't Lnuw about the rest. Week Ending August 4, 1922 Determination of mlicies to be followed out in the iwinling suit brought liv C. A. Gillette, a Salt I .tike City lawyer, against It. K. Caldwell, as state engineer, were under eoiisideratiou at the state capital last Monday at a meeting held in the offices of Attorney General Haney 11. Cluff. Carbon county water users are inlerested from the fart that Gillette has but recently made filings that interfere with the rights of the Price River Irrigation couiMny that pni loses the building of a big reservoir in Pleasant Valley at Scofield and the sale of its holdings up iu the Gooseberry, principally the Mammoth reservoir site, to Sxniete county in- of land. The state engineer inotructed Gillette to amend his apdication so s to leave out Fish Creek, inasmuch as the waters of this stream are withdrawn, hut thia the applicant refused to do and now seeks the mandamus. In the meantime, the application has no official standing in the state engineer's office, and A. 11. Christensen of Salt laike City applies for certain waters from Cottonwood, Huntington and other ereeks within the Colorado Busin, which he proposes to divert into SanHte and Juab Valleys for irrigation purfsises on aonie of the lands named in the Gillette filing. By this means the Christensen filing has been given priority and will probably lie recognized first by the engineer over that of Gillette, unless the mandamus writ ia issued and in which case the Gillette filing will 1e given priority. The attorneys in consultation last Monday with representatives of the state engineer and attorney general sought to have the engineer change hie stand and accept the application for filing, thus giving it priority over th? Christensen application and thereafter he should reject it if improper. The attorney! for the state and Gillette, however, are agreed as to the interpretation of the law governing the action of the elate engineer iu this regard, and it was derided to resist the issuance of mandamus on the present ac- terests. Halloran-Judg- e Trust company is mixed up iu the deal with Gillette. The latter lias some farfetched plans for diverting the waters of several tributaries of the Price' river over Soldier Summit down through Span sh Fork Creek by way of Thistle and Fain'iew on to Saiqiete lands, whieli are outlined in the paragraph below. Here in Price River Valley the Gillette prosisition is looked unui ax purely blackmail. The suit is one brought in the Third District court in wlrch Gillette ia seeking a writ of mandamus to couiie! the state engineer to file hia application for appropriations of waters from Fish, Huntington and Cottonwood Creeks, which he pnqioaes to divert to Sanjiete and Juab Valleys to consum- tion. mate an irrigation project for waterThis sMll leaves the Christensen ing some three hundred thousand acres ing with the priority.

Price will have its first opens ir hand concert next Wednesday evening, August 9th, at the eorner of Eighth and Main streets. J. Rex Miller, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Chamber of Commerce, with his com- mittee has been working for aonie time to secure weekly entertainments. The Price hand, under the leadership of Angus E. Johnson, ia now in splendid1 shaie and will give another demon- stration of its ability next week. This concert will proliahly lie the beginning of a series if the public shows its appreciation by turning out. It ia recognized that a hand with public concerts is a very fine thing for any city and some towns even levy a tax to provide for ojienair concerts through the summer months. They know that nothing' puts a town in a progressive city class any quieker than good tqienair concerts, and it is believed it can be made a big thing in Pride. This city is very fortunate in having such public spirited musicians tliat all they ask ia that the imblic show they muxie. appreciate the Plans are 1 icing made to give a dance at City Hall the same evening for the benefit of the band. Every citizen who is interested in keeping these concerts going should turn out to the dance and show the hoys they like the concerts and appreciate their sacrifices to do the necessary practicing. It ia not necessary to stay the whole evening. One can drop in for a few dances. They are looking to the progressive citizens for their appreciation. THE rWXillAM Hall March.
