C. E. Lesher of the United States Geological Survey estimates bituminous coal production in the United States for the first six months of 1915 at 180 million to 190 million short tons. The pace runs at eighty five to ninety percent of the previous year’s average.
The six month period shows bituminous output well below 1914's pace, with a small rise since March.

Boost from metal mining, smelting, and railroad activity is noted, with coke gains and anthracite faring better than soft coal.

United States output of petroleum in the first half of 1915 is conservatively estimated at 145 million barrels by J D Northop of the US Geological Survey.
