relcbrnled, carries slxty-slx happy
old soldiers, etarans of tho battle,
members of both tho gray nnd blue

through the war hut did not tnko

COKE INDUSTRY IS
SHOWING UP
Some Very Interesting Facts and Fi,
Given the Public Through theljSJ
States Geological Bureau.
Tho coko Industry ln tho United
States ha now reached, In good
years, tho hundred million dollar
mark, and moreover there Is n, stea
dily growing Inercaao In tho propor
tion of coke mado In byproduct nnd
retort ovens whereby tho valunblo
byproducts of gas, tar, ammonia,
etc., nro rntod to the valuo of tens
of millions of dollnni annually.
Where tho coke Is made in tho old
fashioned beehive coke ovens alt of
these valuable byproducts nro on
ttrcly wasted. In 1012 tlio total
production of coke, according to JM
ward W, Parker of the United
States geological survey, was 43,
'910,834 short tons, valued at $111,
r,23,33R, an Increase of 8.3CG.34G
tons In quantity nnd of 127,392,487
ln value over 1911. In 1912 tho
production of beehive coke Increased
E,1G4,701 tons, or 18 per cent, whllo
that of the retort coke Increased 3,
200,644 tons or 49 per cent.
Although larger than In 1911 tho
output of beehlvo coko lit 1912 did
not roach tho record figures for
1910, whereas tho production of by
product coko ln 1912 wns by far
tho largest yet reached In nny one
