The weekly rate of anthracite production appears to have found a level just above the 1,600,000 tons mark. On the basis of 31,670 cars loaded preliminary estimates place the total at tons, which was almost exsame as the figure for the the actly preceding week. Compared with the output of the corresponding week of 1924 there was a decrease of nearly 15 per cent.

Preliminary telegraphic rejmrts of the cars loaded daily show a decrease of nearly three thousand on Monday and Tuesday of last week March 10th to 21st as compared with the total for the same days of the week before. It, therefore, npiears that the bottom of the decline has not been reached. The Bourse of production this year continues to parallel closely that in 1924 and 1921. In the declines of earlier yean the low points were reached just as the new coal year opened.

This saves some additional funds which may be devoted toward preventing disaster in any of the privately owned mines.

Joe Vuksinich eut his throat with a razor at Ewell (Spring Glen) at tho home of a brother, John, last Wednee-da-y afternoon almut 3 oclock. The act, it is believed, was to put an end to four or five years of suffering. The slash was literally from ear to ear. Deceased was about 52 years of age and an Austrian. Despondency over his physical condition, which had failed to improve sufficiently for him to resume work, was the reason given by his brother to the sheriffs office. Other members of the family were in the house adjoining the sleeping quarters, where he was found lying in a pool of blood. Vuksinick had recently arrived in Ewell from Telluride, Colo., where he is said to have spent several months in a hospital. Because of insufficient funds lie was compelled to return to his brothers home. According to the latter nothing had been said by Vuksinick to arouse suspicion that he contemplated suicide.
