COAL PRODUCTION
OF OREGON FIELDS
Coos Bay District Sole Producer Last
Year of a Commercial Quantity
of Fuel in This State.
Report By Geological Survey
The total production of coal in
Oregon in 190S, as shown by statis
tics collected by E. W. Porker, o the
United Stntes Geological Survey, was
80.259 short tons, having a spot val
ue of $236,021.
. Oregon, like Cuili'ornin, is one of
the few states in which the coal
production m i;mih showed an ln
orease over that of the preceding
year, which was 70,081 short tons,
the 10118 output being thereforo a
gain of . "i,278 short tons, or 21.52
per cent the value increased from
$106,304 to $230,021. a gain of $00,
717. or 41.02 per cent. All of the
coal produced came from the Coos
Bay field in Cons county, and the in
creased production in 1008 was due
to an increased activity at the Bea
ver Hill mines.
All Coal Washed.
All of the Beaver 17111 coal was
washed, the operations yielding 73
I or cent of cleaned coal and 30 per
cent of refuse. The refuse, however,
contains a sufficient quantity of
romhustible material to permit its
ii: c as fuel, in the operation of the
ic'nes. Tlie coul from this field is
of n lignitic character. Trnnsportu
'.ion is confined exclusively to Coos
liny mid the Paoific, Ocean, and the
cUy of San Francisco is the princi
pal market. The large amount of
construction work involved in the ra
I ulil'iit; of San Francisco is tilt,
principal cause if the increased
;iro,iu' tion of Oregon lignite. T''i
nvC'!i'.'(' number l men employed in
oivm'.I from 184 in 1007 to 214 in
1008. nnd the average number of
days worked increased from 231 to
2J0. There were no labor dsturban
ces dining t he year.
Limited Coal Area.
' According to the estimates pro-
pared M. R. Campbell, of the Geolo
gical Survey, the coal-beuring form
ntions of Oregon are limited to nn
area of 230 square miles, the origi
mil contents of which are placed by
Mr. Campbell at 1,000,000.000 short
tons.
Coul was first noted in the Coos
Bay region about fifty years ago.
Prof. J. S. Newberry having report
ed in 1855 that the coal deposits of
Coos Hay had begun to attract at
tention. It was known that some
mining was done there in 1855 and in
1872, nnd that in 186 two mines
the Knstport and the Newport were
in active operation. The Newport
mine, however, was the only one to
survive. The Beaver Hill mine owned
survive. The Beaver Hill itnne wns
opened in 1895 and is now one of the
most important producers. Tho first
record of coal production from this
field is contained in the census re-
Iport, of 1880. which shows that in
that year 43,205 short tons were
mined. The production has exceed
ed 100,000 tons in four years only
1800. 1897. 1004. and 1005 the
! maximum, in 1004. reaching 111.540
short tons. The total production to
the close of 1908 has amounted to
1 ,876.651 short tons.
