It has been said that the coal of th
Pacific coast Is not of a superior qg,

mines a gr.-at deal of coal of the a«
useful kinds.
Last year Washington produced th
largest quantity of coal ever mined
there. There was no very fmportui
production before 1886, but nearly«.
ery year since then the quantity clig

to 2,690,789 short tons.
