No figures on imports before 1899 are available. . For fiscal year ending June 30. ARKANSAS In 1923 the production of coal in Arkansas was 1,296,892 tons, valued at $5,192,000, which was an increase of 186,846 tons, or 16.8 per cent, in quantity, and of $600,000, or 13.1 per cent, in value over that of 1922. The average value per ton, however, was $4.01 lower than that of the preceding year, which was $4.14. Although the number of days worked increased from 81 to 97, Arkansas still ranked the lowest of all the States in the actual days the mines were in operation. Figure 49 compares the production per day in each month of 1923 with the daily average for the years 1918 to 1922. Against a maximum of 7,000 tons a day in 1918 and a minimum of 3,600 tons in the strike year 1922, the daily production in 1923 ranged from 5,000 tons in January and September to 3,000 tons in May.

CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, NEVADA, AND OREGON For years the coal producers in California, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon have been so few that it has been necessary to group them to avoid disclosing individual operations. Since 1915 no production has been recorded for Nevada. The following table shows the totals for these States from 1912 to 1923: TABLE 85.-Coal produced in California, 1912–13; in California, Idaho, and Nevada, 1914-15; in California and Idaho, 1916-1920; in California, Idaho, and Oregon, 1921-1923 COLORADO Although in 1923 Colorado showed an increase in tonnage over 1922, it did not equal that of several other years in the history of the State. The output was 10,346,218 tons, valued at $33,299,000, and the increase was 326,621 tons, or 3.3 per cent, in quantity, and $1,598,000, or 5 per cent, in value; but the average number of employees and of actual days worked during the year decreased slightly. The number of days worked in 1923 is affected by a peculiarity in the returns for Routt County, which is explained in footnote, Table 86, page 658. FIGURE 46.-Production of coal per working day in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, 1918-1923. Dats from Table 78 Figure 46 makes clear the fluctuations in the quantity produced per working day in the years 1918 to 1922 and the months of 1923, The seasonal character of the demand for the domestic coals and lignite of Colorado introduces a characteristic summer trough and winter peak into the curve of production for the State as a whole, in sharp contrast to the relatively steady curve for New Mexico, the output of which goes more largely for industrial use. $2.95 728, 943 $2, 180,000 66, 092 245, 000 19, 778 66, 000 412, 000 4,875 10, 000 19,000 11,000 25, 135 98,000 698 16 100 118 8 9 266 3 39 45 232 4 1, 196 80 23 173 190 13 167 93 11, 663 88, 216 2. 07 36, 596 2 2 b51 860 196 383, 887 25, 135 542, 783 232, 255 99,879 3. 16 7,911 3, 158 2, 437 13, 506 Total, excluding wagon mines.
