Probably the most novel scale of
prices in New York is that embodied
in the schedule just issued covering
the price of kisses. The value of such

matter on which the courts of the city
have differed widely. The price as
dctcrnvned by them has varied from
a minimum of one cent to a maximum
of several thousand dollars. But

The avcniRC price per ton advanced
from $1 .80 in 1906 to $2.09 in 1907.
During the first ten months of the
year the coal-nuuing industry of the
State was in a highly satisfactory con
dition. In November and December,
however, owing to the financial dis
turbances, the output of the mines
was curtailed about 33 percent. But
for this the production would proba
bly have exceeded 4,OX),0O0 tons.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of Washington increas
ed from 4,529 in 1906 to 5.945 in 1907,
and the average number of working
days increased from 266 to 273. The
only decrease shown in the statistics
of coal production in Washington in
1907 as compared with 19U6 was in
the orodiKtivc canacitv of the em
ployees, the average yearly tonnage
per man having declined from 723.
tons in 1906 to 619 tons in 19117. Tl

average daily production per man de
creased from 2.72 to 2.27 tons.
Nearly all the mine of the State
arc operated on ao ciuht hour sche
dule, 5,594 men out of a total of 5,945
employed working eight hours a (lay
in 1907.
Washing apparatus has been in
stalled at 15 plants in the State, and
the total amount of coal washed dur
ing 1907 was 799.015 ton yielding
644,01 tojis of cleaned coal and 154,
514 tons of refuse.
D, C. Hotting, State mine inspector,
reports that the total number of acci
dents in the coal mines of Washing
ton in 1907 w 131, of which 36 were
fatal. The death rate per thousand
of employes was 6.06. and the number
of tons mined for each life lost was
102,237. This makes an unfavorable
comparison with the casuality statis
tics for 1906 and particularly with
those for 1905. In 1906 the death rate
per thousand of employees was 486
and the tonnage for each life lost
was 148,917; in 1905 the death rate
per thousand was 2.73, with a tonnage
of 220,379 for each life lost.
The coal beds of Washington arc
found in the western and central por
tions of the State, and are mined in
five principal fields the North Pugct
Sound field, including the coal mines
f Skagit and Whatcom counties; the
South Pugct Sound field, comprising
the Pugct Sound basin, just east of
Seattle; the Roslyn field, in Kittitas
County, on the eastern slope of the
Cascade Mountains; and the South
western field, embracing the counties
of Lewis and Cowlitz. -
The coals of Washington range
from lignite to bituminous coking
coals, and including some natural
coke and anthracite. The bituminous
cooking coals of Washington are the
only coking coals on the Pacific slope
of the United States. They arc found
in the Wilkeson-Carbonado district,
in the South Puget Sound field, and
also in the North Puget Sound field,
but coke is now made only in the dis
trict firsr named. The Wilkeson-Carbonado
coal runs high in ash and is
usually washed before coking. The
lignite or subt.ituminous coals of
Newcastle and Renton, in the South
Pugct Sound field, are generally of
high grade and well suited for domes
tic use. The steamship consumption
in the trade with Alaska and the Ori
ent is now the most important mar
ket for the high-grade bituminous
coals of Washington.
