Machine Mining (Bituminous Coal) The reports for 1897 show that mining machines were in use in twenty- States in 1897, as compared with sixteen in 1896, and eight in 1891. Utah and Washington, which had a machine-mined tonnage of 760 and 3920, respectively, in 1896, did not report any product so won in 1897 ; while six States which did not report any coal won by machines in 1891 or 1896 had a combined machine-mined product of nearly 2,000,000 short tons in 1897. These States, with the amounts of coal extracted by machines, were as follows : Alabama, 294,384 short tons ; Kansas, 4500 short tons; Kentucky, 1,299,436 short tons; Tennessee, 47,207 short tons; Texas, 11,750 short tons ; and Virginia, 323,649 short tons. The statistics of the production of coal by machines in 1891, 1896, and 1897 are shown in the following table : BITUMINOUS COAL MINED BY MACHINES IN TWENTY-TWO STATES IN 1891, 1896, AND 1897
