The steady decline in the mdarliuti of soft coal which has hern in progress since Janunry, was hulteil at the week least temporarily-duri- ng, ending with March 13th. Total output including lignite und that coked at the mines is estimated at 3 net tons, a gain of 231, (NN) or 2.2 jier rent over the revised figure for the preceding seven days. Compared with the corresiiomliiig week of 1925 the increase is 2,050,00(1 or 23.7 per cent. Total output (luring the present eon I year up to XI a re h l.ltli (approxiinatcly full twii hundred and ninety-twworking days) is 515,748.01111 net tons. For t Ik week ending with March tit li the output of the ('toll properties was seventy thousand 1011. Total production of soft the country over for the seven days to March 7th amounted to 10,400,(11)0 net tons, a decrease with that in the preceding week of 430, (MHJ or 4 per cent. Although output increased in several states during the seven days ending March 6th, as compared with the preceding (holiday) week, detailed figures indicate u further continuance of the softening of the market in Eastern States. In the Eastern interior region, consisting of Illinois, Indiana und Western Kentucky, production remained firm, showing a gain of almut I sr rent over that in the week of February 20th. West of the Mississippi slight change was apparent. o piuu-juire- d Byproduct Coke Figures.

Tlie coke plants operated ut alwuit 94 per rent of rapacity. There have been eighty byproduct ones in rxistenee si nee are and of which seventy-fou- r active. The production of coke for the month of February wiis 2,923,415 gross tons or jmt day as compared with 3,316,201 or 106,974 per day in January. Total production of beehive in February, estimated at 1,402,000 net tons, shows a gain of 21,000 or 1.5 (ter rent, compared with that in the month of January. Production of all coke amounted to 4,902,000 tons, the byproduct plants contributing 71 per eent(73 per cent in January) anil the beehive the remainder. The total amount of eoal consumed in both beehive and byproduct plants amounted to 7,241,000 tons, 5,029,000 being consumed by byproduct plants and 2,212,000 at the beehive. Although the February total ia 211,000 tons greater than the monthly average for 1923, and 1,083,000 more than that for 1925, it is 403,000 less than that for January, 1920. Of the total output of byproduct during February 2J59,000 tong or 81.7 per rent was made in plants associated with iron furnaces and 641.001 or 18.3 per eent at merchant or other plants. World Output Given. On the basis of all the information available to the bureau of mines at this time the world's total production of all eoal in 1925 is estimated at approximately 1,368,000,000 metric tuns. This output, when compared with the revised figures of production for 1924 is an increase of 13,400,000. There were some notable increases in certain of the coal producing countries and rather pronounced decreases in others. In the United States, while there was a great decline of anthracite output for the year, amounting to 23.400,000 tons when compared with 1924, this was more than offset by the production of bituminous which amounted to nearly 30,000, 000 more than a year ago. Countries, other than the United States, which showed greatly increased production in 1925 over 1921 were France, Germany anil Russia, Hunwhile Canada, the l'oland United and Kingdom gary, showed decreases. It is interesting to volume of tonnote the steadily nage being produced in the KnroH'nu countries of France and Germany. In 1925 their output over 1924 reported an inerea.-- e of 6.5 mid 10.7 cr eent. respectively. Continues to Increase. Anthracite production continues to inereuse. Total output during the seven days ended Man'll 13th is climated at 1.906.0(1(1 net tons, n gain of 177,000 or 10 cr ,,iil over the revised figure for the preceding week. The average production of uuthrncite durweeks of the ing the first twenty-twpresent eoal year was 1,825,000 tons, and the high point" reached just before the suspension 2,251 ,900 tons. Thus, in the third week of renewed operation, production has passed the e average fur the year.

(!., March 22. The supreme court of the United States, when it eornes to hear and decide the apHal of the Independent n Coal and Coke company and tlm County lot ml company against the Cuited States of Amcricu und Carbon county (Utah) will, In some extent at least, pass on the validity of Utahs title and right to convey school lands granted under the enabling uct. Pcti- tion for writ of certiorari was grunted by the court today, but it may not be mu-liebefore the full term. The issues involved lire in many respects peculiar tu this particular litigation, und the decision, there foie, may not be a elm rent definition of tlie rights of the state to all its school lands, tint underlying the npjicnl is the qite!ii):i of tlie applicability of the statute of limitations, and one of the issues that may be determined is the right of the government to bring suit to question the state's title after the has elapsed. The state of Utah is not a party to this litigation, and hns never been, but when tlie ease comes up for argument then- - will lie nrrnycd against the government two former assistant attorneys general, William I), Riter for the IndiaHndent Coal anil Coke company, and Frank K. Xeheker for the lund company, both I'talms, who jointly prepared and filed the brief asking the supreme court to review the findings of tlm circuit court of appeals for the Eight b district. The lands involved were certified to tlie stale bark in 190M904. The state contracted to sell to several individuals who nsMgn-e- d to the Carbon ('minty Land company. In 1907 tlie government brought suit for eiineellation of contracts on the ground tin lauds were known mineral at tlie time of selection. The district court in. 1914 held tlie government to be tho equitable owner of the lands, hiuI this was afirmed by the circuit court of apjicals in 1915. The state of Utah was not a party to that litigation. The present suit was instituted in 924. Again the state is not a parly. The district court dismissed the governments bill, but it was reserved by the rireuit court of appeals. It that in 1920 the state newly ls tented the lands to the Carbon County Land conitnny, which conveyed art interest to the Independent Coal and Coke company. In their irief Riter and Xeheker contend that inasmuch as lpgal title passed to the state when the lands were certified, the states title, though voidable for fraud, became a good one at the end of six yean, and that although the decree in the original suit was binding as to the original snlc by the state, it did not prevent the state passing a title after its own title had become good by lapse of timp. In other words if the state by not being a party to the 1907 suit ultimately obtained a good title by lapse of time, the derree in the earlier suit does not prevent the state from conveying that title even to a party whose contract of sale was cancelled in the 1907 suit.

The Federal Business association at Zion, which consists of the heads of all federal departments having offices there, adopted a resolution last Friday urging that all coal purchased hy the government in that city should be bought under one single contract, instead of each department buying its fuel without regard to others, as is done at present. The resolution was adopted when a special committee, appointed at the last meeting, reported that the government purchases are six thousand tons of fuel at the state capital every year, and that much better prices might be obtained by making these under a single contract rather than under a half dozen. to be below We carry everything Stores Co. y Hiawatha, Heiner and West Hiawatha GEORGE McDERMAID Superintendent Spring Canyon Coal Co.
