LETTER OF TRANSMITAL.
DEPARTMENT OF MINES,
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
To His Excellency, W. E. Glasscock,
Governor of West Virginia.
Sir: — In compliance with the Mining Law of the State of West Vir-
ginia, as amended by the Legislature in Regular session, February,
1907. I have the honor to submit herewith my second annual report
for the Department of Mines for the year ending June 30th 1910, be-
ing the sixth annual report of the Department of Mines, and embrac-
ing the twenty-eight annual report upon the condition of the coal
mines within the State, as reported by the several District Inspectors.
Very respectfully,
JOHN LAING,
Chief of Department of Mines.
Charleston, W. Va., October 15th, 1910.
ANNUAL REPORT.
ANNUAL REPORT.
To the Governor:
The report herewith submitted is for the year ending June 30th,
1910.
During the year there has been a very marked improvement in
business conditions throughout the State; especially in regard to the
mining and production of coal, which has resulted in a marked in-
crease in tonage in both coal and coke over the production of 1909
as follows, in gross tons:
1909 1910 Increase Increase
in tons per cent
COAL 41,693,766 52,923,708 11,229,942 21.41
COKE 3,115 797 4,217,381 1,101,582 26.12
In view of the distance from the principal markets in which West
Virginia coals are sold and the consequent difficulty of transportation,
the increased production demonstrates the superior quality of the coal
in this State as compared with its more favored competitors in other
states, as well as the energy, capability and efficiency that characterize
the men who are engaged in the coal business. The rapid strides that
that are being made in securing markets, not only to maintain its
productive capacity to its normal status, but to increase its volume of
business over 21 per cent is evidence that West Virginia coal opera-
tors are men who understand their business thoroughly, and that the
coal development will not suffer by reason of lack of enterprise by
those engaged in its production.
INSPECTIONS.
The State is divided into twelve inspection Districts. One Inspector
is assigned to each District and is held responsible for taking care
of the mines in his District, in so far as his Official duties, as denned
by law, are concerned. It is very gratifying to report that each of the
inspectors have performed their duties in a most faithful manner dur-
ing the year, and it is in a great measure due to the faithful and effi-
cient work performed by them that the gratifying results have been
obtained, as set forth in other parts of this report.
During the year the District Mine Inspecters have made 2,008 in-
spections, and made Official reports of same and sent records to this
office which are now on file. In addition to these inspections, 534
special visits were made to mines to investigate into special conditions
existing at various mines with a view to taking special action on them,
and also for the purpose of consulting with the Mining Officials in re-
gard to improvements and developments being made, both inside and
out-side their mines, so that conformity to the law could be obtained.
30 Annual Report of [W. Va.
The spirit of harmony and co-operation that has been manifested
by these conferences is commendable and augurs well for the best in-
terest of the mines and the persons employed therein, with regard to
their health and safety in securing all the safe-guards for both life
and property, so far as is required by law.
In addition to these visits each inspector has been engaged, more
or less, during the year on work connected with examinations that
have 'been held throughout the state.
MINE FOREMEN AND FIRE BOSS EXAMINATIONS.
A series of examinations for the purpose of testing the qualifications,
experience and fitness of persons to be put in charge of mines as Mine
Foremen of Fire Boss, have been held at various places throughout
the State, by a Board of Examiners whose duty is to hold these ex-
aminations under the direction of the Chief of the Department of
Mines.
The Mining Law of this State requires, that competent men shall
be appointed as Mine Foreman and Fire Boss'. A standard of com-
petency must be established by which the persons who occupy these
positions are to be judged as to their qualifications, experience, ability
and fitness to fill said positions to meet with the requirements of law.
The Department of Mines being charged with the enforcement of the
Mining Law decided that it (The Department of Mines) should be the
authority to determine this standard of competency, and appointed a
Board of Examiners whose duty is to formulate questions and hold ex-
aminations, at which applicants can demonstrate their ability and fit-
ness to hold said positions.
Certificates are granted to all who are deemed qualified by this
Board. The results of these examinations show that 1629 persons
were examined during the year and that 852 were successful as fol-
lows:
470 First Class Certificates.
351 Second Class Certificates.
31 .Fire Boss' Certificates.
A detailed statement with reference to these examinations is given
in another part of this report.

of the Department of Mines, November 30th 1909, to accept a position

DAYS WORKED.
The mines in the State averaged 229 days as against 192 for the
preceeding year.
TRANSPORTATION OF COAL AND COKE.
During the year the railroads within the State report having hand-
led a ttoal tonnage of 47,680,404 tons of coal and 4,884,880 tons of
coke, of which amounts there originated on the various lines 45,301,-
113 tons of coal and 3,949,805 tons of coke, while the Operators re-
port having shipped from the mines 44,770,009 net tons of coal. Be-
tween the tonnage originated on the Railroads and that reported as
having been shipped from the mines there is a difference of 531,104
tons in excess of the tonnage reported by the mines. This may be
accounted for by the railroads reporting from the marked capacity
of the cars while the mines report the actual tonnage from the mine
weights.
RIVER SHIPMENTS.
For the fiscal year endging June 30th 1910, the tonnage of coal
floated down the Great Kanawha River amounted to 1,232,716 net
tons, as against 1,027,360 net tons the previous year.
There were 43,177 net tons of coal shipped down the Monongahelia
River from this State. This is the first year that coal shipments have
been reported as being made on this River from West Virginia. This
does not include the tonnage of fuel consumed by water craft and lo-
cal river trade.
There was no coke shipped by water, on either the Kanawha or
Monongahelia Rivers, from West Virginia during this year.
COKE OVENS AND COKE PRODUCED.
There are 177 coke plants in the State, which report a total of
14 Annual Report of [W, Va.
19,895 coke ovens, of which number 11,296 were in actual operation
for 2 46 days, there being 8,599 ovens reported as not being in use
during the year.
There were 6,957,552 tons of coal converted into coke which gave a
net yield of 4,217,381 net tons of coke, and gave employment to 4,161
persons.
The increase in production of coke over the previous year was
1,101,584 tons, at an increased valuation of $3,140,530.60. The
average price per ton of coke was $1.83, an increase of four cents
per ton over the preceeding year.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Quite a number of improvements have been made at the various
mines throughout the State on their old plants, as well as in the
opening up and re-equipping new mines as follows:
11 new coal plants; 29 power plants; 153 coke ovens; 38 mine fans:
2 furnaces; 29 tipples; and 30 additional openings at old mines.
A detailed table of improvements appears on a subsequent page, as
well as in the District Mine Inspectors report of their respective mines,
to which special attention is directed, which shows the improvements
by Counties and Districts.
MEN EMPLOYED.
During the year there were employed at the mines and coke ovens,
an average of 68,135 persons, an increase of 5,94 6 over the previous
year. Of the total employes 22,509 were pick miners; 13,747 ma-
chine miners; 3,244 Machine runners and helpers; 15,180 inside
laborers; 9,294 out-side laborers; and 4.161-coke workers.
Counting the Superintendents, Mine Foremen, Fire Boss', Store
Managers, Store and Office clerks, it would be safe to add 2,150
persons to the total above, making the total employes direetly con-
nected with the operation of the mines, 70,285.
The character and nationalities of the labor in and about the mines,
is given in a tabulated form in another part of this report. The total
number reported is 60,590, of which 7,545 persons are unlisted.
White Americans 28,301; Negroes 12,087; Italians 7,599; Hungarians
4,016; Slavish 1,899; Polish 1,895; Austrians 1,210. Other Nation-
alities 3,583.
WAGES.
The average price received by pick miners throughout the State
per gross ton to run-of-mine coal was 44 cents as against 4 3 cents for
the year 1909.
Each pick miner produced on an average 1,304.4 tons for the year,
being an increase of 193.2 tons more per man employed than the
previous year.

SELLING PRICES.
The average selling price at the mines of all coal shipped was 95
cents per gross ton of run-of-.mine coal, being the same price as was
received during the yearofl909.
Coke was sold F. O. B. at the coke ovens at an average price dur-
ing the year of $1*83 per net ton. This price being an increase over
the year previous of 4 cents per ton.
STRIKES.
There were strikes at 20 mines in the state during the y«?ar, in-
volving 2,225 employes, causing a loss of 315 days work to the mines
at which the strikes occurred and a financial loss to the employes of
$100,367.25 in wages, and a loss of $15,374.93 to the operators of
the mines, making an aggregate loss, ;aused by the strikes, of $115,-
742.18
The operators won seven of these strikes and the employe.; won 11.
The other two being compromised.
ACCIDENTS.
During the year there were 320 lives lost in connection with the
mining operations; of these 307 were killed inside and 13 outside the
mines.
There were 942 -non-fatal accidents during the year, 855 of which
occurred inside and 87 outside of the mines. This shows a decrease
in the number of accidents as compared with last year as follows:

3 6 Annual Repoet of [ W. Va.
There was only one life lost during the year by a gas explosion
which occured in the Parral Shaft September 16th, 1909. Not a single
life was lost during the year by reason of coal dust being exploded.
There were, however, nine other explosions that were caused by the
premature explosions of shots, and the ignition of kegs of flasks of
blasting powder or other explosives.
Falls °f ro°f and coal, and accidents from mine cars have been the
chief factors in causing a large majority of the accidents in the mines.
Investigations as to the causes of accidents from these two causes
demonstrate that 66 per cent of them were due to contributory neg-
legence on the part of either the persons killed or injured or some
other person, and should not have occured at all if only ordinary care
had been taken to prevent them.
Strict discipline vigorously enforced by the mine officials would
reduce the number of accidents from these causes at least 50 per cent
PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS.
In considering the prevention of accidents in our mines, it is deemed
advisable to take up the cause of these accidents in the order of their
importance.
First; FALLS OF SLATE AND COAL. In looking over the accident
reports, it has been found that many of these accidents are due to the
carelessness of injured, and strange as it may seem, quite a number
of those injured are old and exjperienced men. They seem to take
greater risks and continue to do so, not-with-standing the object les-
sons that are given them when other men are injured or killed under
similar conditions.
Other causes are; insufficient timber or timber improperly set, lack
of judgment, lack of equipment in not providing tools to properly set
up timbers to protect themselves, ignorance, lack of proper supervis-
ion and discipline by the mine officials.
In order to reduce accidents from this source to a minimum, there
should be primarily rigid discipline, which means that when an em-
ploye is warned not to go into a place having a dangerous roof, he will
STAY OUT until it is properly secured. It means also that when an
employe is told to take down a bad piece of slate he will do so at once,
and not wait until he completes the loading of the car or performs the
other work at which he may be engaged at the time. He should
further be instructed in the manner of setting his timber to properly
protect himself.
He should be required to have the necessary tools for setting tim-
ber and pulling down and handling slate.
He should know how to sound the roof and line up his timber; how
the timber should be spaced and how the cap-pieces should be set in
order to give him the best possible protection.
An unexperienced miner should never be permitted to work in a
mine by himself, especially must he be kept out of places having bad
roof.
1910] Depabtment of Mines. 17
Adequate supervision doubtless would greatly reduce the number of
accidents from slate falls, both to experienced and inexperienced
persons.
There seems to be a disposition, especially among experienced men,
to ignore or rather to forget the danger from bad roof, exemplifying
the old adage, "That familiarty with danger breeds contempt for it".
Loose pieces of slate should be marked and taken down as soon as
possible, particularly should this be done on haulage roads and travel-
ing ways.
The mine law requires the mine foreman, or his assistant, to visit
each working place at least each alternate day. This we do not consider
adequate supervision in mines having a bad top. Not only the mine
foreman, but his assistant if necessary, should examine the timber-
ing in each working place not less than once each day and warn the
men of any danger and instruct them how to properly protect them-
selves from such dangers, and above all to REQUIRE TMEM TO DO
SO AT ONCE.
Second: ACCIDENTS FROM MINE CARS. Accidents from this
source are in a great many cases due to a direct violation of the Mine
Law and of the Mine Rules,and here again is the place to apply rigid
discipline.
Accidents will not be reduced by simply posting a notice, "That em-
ployes, (other than those whose duty it is to do so) must not ride on
the emipty or loaded cars." The rule should be enforced and the law
should be strictly obeyed.
Where employes have to travel on haulage roads, either proper
width of roadway should be maintained or suitable refuge holes, prop-
erly placed and whitewashed according to law, should be provided.
Where cars are hauled out of a dip entry, (back into which they are
liable to run in case a coupling should break) suitable drags and de-
railing devices should in all cases be used.
Lights should be placed on all trips as provided by law.
At all mines wherever possible a traveling way should be provided
to be entirely independent of the haulage road. This will prevent
either old or new men from getting confused and caught by trips if
their lights should be extinguished in their efforts to get out of the way
of the moving cars.
Where employes ride to their work in special trips made up for tin's
purpose, a moderate speed should be maintained, and a track-walker
should precede the trip to see that no falls are on the track, and also
to see that the track is in good condition, as well as, the electric wires
or ropes which propel the trip. Where electric motors are used there
should be arc headlights on tbe motors. These enable the motormen
to see any danger ahead for a considerable distance.
Miners should be instructed how to handle mine cars into and out
of their working places, and they should be shown how to avoid dan-
gers incident to this work.
There have been cases where accidents have occurred by gathering
motors having pushed empty cars into rooms where an empty car was
18 Annual Report of [W. Va.
standing at the face of the room, catching the miner between the face
and the car. A room latch which is controlled by a lever and weight
would prevent any accidents of this kind.
Third: ELECTROCUTIONS. During the year IS lives were lost
by electrocution. From 1889 to 1910 inclusive there have been 56
persons who have lost their lives from this source, both within and
without the mines. A careful scrutiny of the reports of these accidents
for the last year, shows that 15 of the electrocutions were caused by a
current of electricity exceeding 500 volts, while only 3 were caused
where the voltage did not exceed 2 50 volts.
This is a striking illustration of the dangers incident to the use of
electricity under high voltage, and the comparative immunity secured
to life by using low voltage. This is the more stiking because of the
fact that possibly not more than one-fifth of the mines in the State
which use electricity, have high voltage installations, and yet they
produce five-sixths of the fatalities as against one-sixth produced by
the low voltage installations.
The efficiency of the work done between high and low voltage is ac-
tual results is not materially different; the chief difference being the
si'ze and subsequent cost of the copper wire that conducts the electric
current. The low voltage current requiring a heavier wire with more
copper in it than the high voltage does, and therefore the cost of in-
stallation and maintenance is considerably greater.
In view, however, of the dangers to employes engaged in mining
operations, and the greatly increased fatalities that result from the
use of high voltage currents, it becomes a question whether any mere
economies of production can compensate for the increased risk to
human lives. It is safe to say that, if low voltage currents had been
used in all the mines of the State, in all probability there would have
been at least a dozen persons living today who are now in their graves,
and whose deaths are attributed to the fact that dangerously fatal
conditions were permitted to ne used in connection with electric trans-
mission of power in operating coal mining operations, simply because
it cost a few more dollars to install a safe method.
In view of the above facts I am of the opinion that any electric cur-
rent carried into a mine exceeding 300 volts is unnecessarily dangerous
of life and limb, and that no pecuniary consideration of dollars and
cents should ever be offered or considered in extenuation of perpetuat-
ing methods that have resulted in such a large sacrifice of human lives
during this year from this cause alone.

Since the year 1883 the average tons of coal produced per each
fatality have been 144,481 tons including 1910, which is 171,738 tons
per fatality. At those mines where fatal accidents occurred there was
an average of one life lost for each 80,13 9 tons of coal produced.
The total of 307 lives lost inside during the year occurred at 216
mines employing 25,554 persons, and producing 24,602,612 gross tons
of coal, while at all other mines there were produced 28,321,096 gross
tons of coal without, the loss of a single life inside the mines.
SAFETY POWDER AND SOLID SHOOTING.
The use of various brands of safety or permissable blasting powders
has been employed in quite a number of the mines throughout the
State where explosive gases are generated to any extent, and also in
those imines that are dry and dusty. Their use has been made com-
pulsory where such conditions exist.
Shooting coal on the solid has been nearly eliminated throughout
the State, except where permission has been given by the district mine
inspectors, when in their udgment the character of the coal and the
mining conditions will allow it to be donej with a reasonable degree
of safety, and then only under such conditions and restrictions as they
1-rescrbe. No permission is given under any circumstances where, in
their judgment, the conditions are favorable to the initiation of a dust
explosion.
The mine must be kept in a moist, condition either by sprinkling
with water or the introduction of moisture into the ventilating current
to such an extent as will allay all dust and prevent it from floating in
the air current in dangerous quantities.
Then there must be a supervision in the manner in which the holes
are drilled, the quantity of powder used and also the nature of the
tamping used by a person who is designated by the mine foreman or
euperintenbdent for that purpose before any blasting is done.
It has taken strenuous work on the part of the district mine in-
1910] Department of Mines. 21
spectors to break up the practice of solid shooting, but by persistent
efforts and the enforcement of the law by numerous prosecutions, it
has been accomplished. A list of names of those who have been prose-
cujted for violations of the mining laws appears in another part of this
report.
A list of permissable explosives for use in coal mines for blasting
purposes, as tested at the Pittsburg testing station of the United
States Geological Survey up to May 16, 1910; also a pamphlet de-
scribing mine rescue work and the apparatus used for such purpose
as well as the methods in use for testing the efficiency of safety lamps,
will be found in the appendix of this report.
On a subsequent page of this report will be found an opinion of
the Attorney General, defining the jurisdiction of the Mine Department
with regard to sinking shafts under contract operation, together with
the correspondence relative thereto by the district mine inspectors and
this Department, all of which is self-explainatory.
Elsewhere in this report will be found the annual reports of the
tv. elve district mine inspectors, which give in detail the conditons
existing in the mines in their respective districts.
In conclusion, the writer desires to express his high appreciation
of the confidence reposed m him by your Excellency, and for the ma-
terial and moral support you have given him in the discharge of the
duties pertaining to the work of the Department. The deep interest
manifested by you in the accomplishment of results tending to safe guard-
ing the health and lives of the persons employed in and about the mines
is evidenced by the frequent conferences and consultations which you have
had with myself and the District Inspectors to keep you in close touch
with the character and extent of the work.
The advice and encouragement given the Department at these con-
ferences has stimulated and benefitted every member to accomplish re-
sults that would measure up to the standard of efficiency required by
him.
To Mr. A. J. King, Officer and Field Assistant from July 1st to Novem-
ber 30th, 1909 and to Chas. Connor, Office and Field Assistant from Decem-
ber 1st, 1909 to the present time, I owe an acknowledgement of my great
appreciation of their fidelity, loyalty and assistance in the compilation of
this report and the success of the Department in general.

VALUE.
California was first in value as well as in quantity of petroleum
produced, and, as forecasted in the report for 1908, a higher price in-
creased the value by a percentage greater than the percentage of in-
crease in quantity. The total value increased nearly 31 per cent
The other changes in relative values were no importance, though
it is interesting to notice that West Virginia, with so much smaller a
product, exceeded Oklahoma in to tal value.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF MINING CONDITIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
ADDRESS OF MR. JOHN LAING, CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
MINES OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Delivered before The West Virginia Coal Mining Association, at Wash-
ington, D. C, December 16, 1910.
General History of the Improvement of Mining Conditions in West Va.
What is Coal?
Here the question arises, how do we obtain heat by which steam is
generated, and the answer is, by burning coal — a substance in which
we, as West Virginians, are all especially interested, and the abundance
of which in our state has made us great. But what is coal and how
was it formed, and whence comes its heat and productive power? Coal
is the result of the primeval forests — the forests which existed ages
ago. The rays of the sun acting upon the trees of the forests disas-
sociated the oxygen which was freed to purify the atmosphere and let
the carbon. Our deposits of coal, therefore, are simply the accumula-
tion of energy derived from the sun. We now, perhaps millions and
millions of years afterwards, bring this coal to the surface, and unit-
ing it with oxygen from the atmosphere, the combination taking place
at a sufficiently high temperature, produces a certain amount of heat
representing the energy of the sun exercised in effecting the separa-
tion.
So much can be said on the subject of coal that we will not attempt,
at this time, to do more than specialize on West Virginia coals, which
are today being sent into nearly every part of the world, and the popu-
larity of which has made us what we are today — the second coal pro-
ducing state of the Nation.
Coal Area of West Virginia.
The state of West Virginia occupies the middle and widest portion
of the Appalachian Coal Field and is the greatest coal bearing field of
the Union, possessing about 9,500 square miles or 6,080,000 acres of
coal area. Of the fifty-five counties in the state, thirty-nine of them
carry some of the coal measures.
If we estimate the total available good coal in this area that can be
recovered under commercial conditions at 10,000 tons to the acre, this
will yield 60,800,000,000 tons of available coal. For the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1910, West Virginia mined 59,274,708 short tons of
coal. At that rate it would take more that 1000 years to exhaust the
total coal area of the state.
Annual Report of [W. Va.
Early History.
Although coal was dug and taken from the lower beds of the Kana-
wha measures along its outcrop in the river hills near the Kanawha
ealt wells about five miles south of Charleston near the mouth of Camp-
bell s (.'reek for many years previous to 1840, yet its use was largely
experimental and Intermittent; the fuel being applied to the running
of salt furnaces and boiling of brine whenever the supply of wood was
short; also occasional openings were made in the lower seams to supply
the local blacksmith with coal; but wood was generally used for fuel
In all the cabins.
In is::.", it was stated that in the salt region of Western Virginia
there were ninety establishments producing 1,000,000 bushels of salt
annually and consuming 5,000,000 bushels of coal, or about 200,000
tons annually.
In 1840 the amount of bituminous coal mined in Alleghany or West-
ern Virginia was returned as 289,698 tons of 28 bushels per ton, and
the total amount of coal produced in the whole of Virginia was 379,369
long tons, and the number of workmen employed was 995. The capital
• d in this work was $1,301,885.00.
In the same year Pennsylvania produced 415,023 tons and employed
1,788 workmen with a capital of $300,416.00. The first explosion
from tire damp occurred in the Heath Mine in 1839 where fifty-three
colored persons were killed.
It was not until about the year 1849 thereafter that a systematic
exploration of the mountains and hills of the Great Kanawha was un-
dertaken with a view of determining its value as a coal producing field.
Cannel coal had been found along the hills of Coal River by William
M. Peyton, of Roanoke, and also below Smithers Creek in the Kanawha
I'v Colonel Aaron Stockton, ond it was with a view of determining
whether or not this valuable find might not be found in the mountains
•i of the Greal Kanawha River, that Colonel William H. Edwards —
owner of the Wilson Survey of 85,600 acres embracing most of the
coal basin Immediately south of Kanawha River — instituted in the year
following, 1849, elaborate investigations in search of the coal.
In the year 1854 the beds of the Kanawha Coal on Paint Creek were
discovered by the late Mr. Alva Hansford and about the year of 1857
m in. opened on Paint Creek and refineries were established for
ting the cannel coal and extracting the oil and parafine. A few
Her some works had been erected at Cannelton, opposite
Montgomery, when a great deal of Cannel coal was taken from the
Stockton or Lewi ton .seam. In the year 1853 mines were established
on Field • where the Winifrede Collieries are now located, and
hauled to the Kanawha itiver by rail and thence shipped to Cin-
cinnati and the lower Ohio by flat boats.
(oal River Operations.
■ ' I coal .... Coal River was brought to the attention
th< late William M. Peyton.of Roanoke. Virginia, and a
1910] Department of Mines. 37
few years following these discoveries four coal mining operations were
established on Coal River for the purpose of mining and shipping the
Cannel coal and also mining the splint and bituminous coal, and a nav-
igation company was formed by tbe several companies for the purpose
of building locks and dams in the river and shipping to market the coal
in barges loaded at the mines.
The following companies were organized:
The Virginia Coal Company with mines at Peytona, Boone County;
the Western Mining and Manufacturing Company with mines on Droddy
Creek near Peytona; the Cannel Coal Company of Coal River, mines at
Manningville on Little Coal River; the Coal River and Kanawha Min-
ing and Manufacturing Company with mines located on Brier Creek,
and the Coal River Navigation Company.
These mining companies all shipped considerable coal and finally
reached a total output of probably 200,000 tons per annum — a large
amount for those days.
At the outbreak of the Civil War the coal trade and the market were
both destroyed and the river, being neglected, soon washed out its
dams and locks. After the close of the war an attempt was made to
revive the coal developments. The Virginia Coal Company was re-
organized under the name of the Peytona Cannel Coal Company and
re-opened its mines at Peytona. The river was again locked and dam-
med and the struggle was continued for ten years, then abandoned.
Recently, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway has been extended to these
points and the property is under lease and several companies are con-
structing plants there.
Coal Seams.
West Virginia has more than sixty different seams of coal, beginning
with the Dunkard Series XVI and running down through the Monon-
gahela Series No. XV, Conemaugh Series XVI, Allegheny Series XIII,
and the Pottsville Series XII. Of these sixty different seams about two-
thirds are thick enough in different portions of the state to be work-
able.
Coal Producing Districts.
Of West Virginia's total coal production about ninety per cent comes
from five principal mining districts and nearly all of the other ten per
cent comes from three smaller districts. The more important of these
are the Fairmont or Clarksburg, the Piedmont or Elk Garden fields, in
the Northern portion of the state, and the New River, Kanawha and
Pocahontas fields in the Southern portion.
The Fairmont or Clarksburg Field.
The Fairmont or Clarksburg region lies principally in Harrison and
Marion counties, the beds from which the coal is mined here belongs
Annua] Repom oj [W. Va.
to the Upper Productive Coal Measures. The most important bed is the
tafcorg, which has ;m average thickness of 8 feet 6 inches, of which
re usually mined The Waynesburg and Sewickley coals, the
former poor and the latter good, also occur in this district and run
from .". to in feel in thickness but arc seldom mined. The field is
penetrated by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which furnishes trans-
tation for the product.
The Piedmont or Elk Garden Field.
Piedmont or Elk Garden Held was the first to be worked in West
Virginia, coal having been mined in this district before the state was
Beparated from the mother state of Virginia, and also contemporaneous-
ly with tli,. opening of the Cumberland or George's Creek field in Mary-
land. It is a part of the deatched portion of the great coal fields lying
in Mineral, Cant and Tucker counties, where the coal beds are some-
what folded. The coal approaches semi-bituminous in character. Two
Beams of coal belonging to the "Lower Productive Measures," are work-
ed T1" > ;"'*' known as the "E" or Upper Freeport, and the "B" or
er Kittanlng, and range from 4 to 11 feet in thickness. Transpor-
tation [a afforded by the Baltimore and Ohio and the Western Mary-
land railroads.
The New River Field.
The New River Field as at present outlined is confined to the Valley
River and its tributaries; the productive portions being in
wd Raleigh counties. The coals of this district occur in the
middle Pottsville series. The three beds which furnish the larger part
••'' the producl are the Sewell, which runs from thirtv inches to six
the Beckley, which runs from four feet to eight feet in thickness;
and the Fire ''reck, which averages four feet.
men! of the New River Coal Field began at the time of
the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1873. In Sep-
,,ml" Colonel J. I.. Henry shipped the first car of coal
nnimont, mining the Qulnnimont or Fire Creek seam of coal.
lv '"'"' tnIs t!l" Longdate Mine was opened at Sewell, operating
"' ""• Sl wel] -"•■""• :""> the Nuttallburg .Mine was opened up at Nuttall-
burg, i in the sain,. Ream of coal.
This district is penetrated by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
which follows the pass of tie New River and its tributaries and furn-
;| for the producl for both Eastern and Western ship-
""■"'■ Tn« Virginia Railway traverses the district along the waters of
:"' the hea lv coal River and Guvan River, and
fnrn1 ' asportation ror the producl to the Eastern markets.
Kanawha Field,
wawha Field lies Immediately weet of the New River Field
1910] Department of Mines. 39
and includes the western portion of Fayette County, all of Kanawha
County and a portion of Putraam County. It is drained by the Kanawha
and Elk Rivers. The coals of this field occur at a higher geological
horizon that those of the New River district and belong to the "Lower
Productive" and Upper Pottsville measures. The coals are variable in
character and thickness. The beds usually vary from three to five feet
in thickness where mined, but in some cases reach as high as eleven feet
or more in thickness. A considerable portion of the coal is a high-
grade, gas-producing fuel; Kanawha gas coal having an excellent rep-
utation for this purpose. The principal beds are designed as the North
Coalburg, No. 5 Block, Belmont, Coalburg, Winifrede, Cedar Grove,
No. 2 Gas and the Eagle. Transportation is furnished by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the Kanawha and Michigan, and the recently construct-
ed Coal and Coke, and the Virginian (Deepwater-Tidewater) railroads.
The slack water navigation of the Kanawha River also affords an out-
let to market for the Kanawha coals.
The Pocahontas Coal Field.
The Pocahontas Field lies in the southwestern corner of the state,
in McDowell and Mercer counties, and extended across the state line
into Tazewell county, Virginia. The coal mined is the Pocahontas No.
3 Seam and runs from four to eleven feet in thickness, having an
average thickness of over six feet. The development of this field has
been very rapid. The first shipment of coal was made in 1883 upon
the completion of the East River branch of the Norfolk and Western
Railway and the opening of the first mine in the field was at Pocahon-
tas, Tazewell County, Va., where the great No. 3 Pocahontas Seam
reaches its maximum thickness.
In 1892 there were nineteen collieries shipping from the district,
with an average daily capacity of 11,7 45 tons of coal. In 1909 there
were ninety-eight mines in the field. During the last few year? a large
amount of development has been done in the Pocahontas No. 4 and the
Welch beds and the shipments from these beds have reached an impor-
tant character. All of these occur near the bottom of the Pottsville
series.
The New River and Pocahontas coals are of a high-grade, semi-
bitnminous variety and one of the purest coals occuring in the United
States.
The Norfolk and Western Railway penetrates this field and the pro-
duct is shipped both east and west on said railway. The Virginian
Railway also runs through a portion of said field.
Other Fields.
The other fields include the coals of Big Sandy in Mingo County, in
the southern portion of the state, and the coals on the Guyan River in
Logan County, both of which are merely a continuation of the Kana-
wha Field.

Diagram.
I have prepared a diagram showing coal sections; graphic chart of
coal mined; different seams worked and their analysis. From this
diagram we tin<] that in the sections of the different coal seams, exist-
ing in West Virginia, there are about sixty seams, of which more than
two-thirds are of workable thickness. This diagram also shows a graphic
chart of the coal production from 1863 to 1910 for the past forty-
eight years. The total amount, of the coal production is 592,170,110
net tons, or less than one per cent of the total coal in our state. Thus
we have scarcely begun mining, and our mining industry is still in its
infancy.
The chart also shows the analysis of the different coals mined.

Mining Department.
The Mining Department was created in 1883 to provide a more effi-
cient system of mine inspection and has been productive of good, and it
will not be denied that, if this Department will permit itself to be di-
rected by conservative influence and associate itself with men full of
constructive ability and select as its corps of assistants, capable and
earnest district mine inspectors, it can do effective work for the pre-
servation of the lives of coal miners. The economic mining of coal, the
vonservation of the great West Virginia naural resources, and many
lessons and records of this kind may be left for the benefit of coming
generations, especially of those who may be following the mining of coal
for a livelihood.
Examination of Mine Foremen.
By many who are not familiar with coal mines, we are often asked
the question: "Why is it that we have recently established a Board
for the purpose of examining mine foremen, fire bosses, etc." Our
answer to such questions has been: "By these examinations we are
taking a broad view of bettering the conditions generally, and outlin-
ing a method of education that will not only benefit the person ex-
amined, but the operators and stockholders as well. The joint propo-
sition in the creation of the Department of Mines is safety to workers
in coal mines, and the protection of property. We further believe that
in holding these examinations, where a general diffusion of ideas is
given and the ways and means to eliminate dangers are discussed it
cannot but help improve the general knowledge of the mine foremen
and the fire bosses."
In our experience in holding these examinations we have found that
where a man has refused to submit or subject himself to these exam-
ination?, it has been proof to us that he both feels incompetent and is
not interested in the work in which he is engaged, and for that reason,
unrler no circumstances should he be permitted to remain in charge of
mine?: nor be permitted to have in his charge the health and lives
of the men and bnys who are working out a livelihood for themselves
and those depending upon them. He is also incapable to care for the
valuable property under his charge. Such a man, with more boldness
than kindness, wirh more audacity than sense, has brought misery and
suffering to those under his charge; has made many homeless widows
and orphans, and has imposed upon many innocent investors. These
examinations are held for the sole purpose of weeding out all such per-
sons and placing in their stead more capable and efficient men.
To the credit of the operators of the state of West Virginia, we come
to the front gracefully and in full appreciation of all that it means to
the Department of Mines, and make this statement: that, whether in
direct or indirect harmony with the statutes of the state, a question as
to the law has not been asked, which alone proves the high standard
42 An <i [W. Va.
ol the well thinking, Intelligen rceful men and operators, who
In charge ol our mies. No better compliment can be paid them
than to Bay thai they not only i y requirement of the min-
ing law, us it reads, but have left it Ear behind. The sanitary con-
dition of the mines of the state as a whole will bear inspection and
prove to a doubting world the veracity of the statement, when I say
thai we have conditions in the mines of West Virginia that are not ex-
celled \>\ any coal producing country of the world.
To undervalue the harmony between the two different mining fra-
ternities of the state, namely: the Mine Inspectors; and the mine
officials, — mine superintendents, mine foremen, fire bosses, etc., — is
en done by the ignorant and unreflecting, parading a proof of the
ineJ] preciation of the work that has been done by these two fraternities
and further is a reflection upon the most remarkable and economic
• in of the state.
The mining industry is a most important field of acivity in West
Virginia and its products alone have made it possible for us to obtain
the materials which directly and indirectly have so rapidly increased
oil'- population and our general financial standing before the world.
Conditions of the Mines.
The condition of the mines in the State of West Virginia a few years
a as such that they did not comply with the requirements of law,
consequently, much dissaisfaction arose from time to time between the
miner, mine foreman and the operator, and later between the Mine
ind the management of mines. The many magazines and
different periodicals published throughout the country on the subject of
coal mining have done much to obliterate this dissatisfaction and har»
monize the feeling between the Department and Mine officials, and
have disseminated such an amount of practical and scientific knowl-
tinenl to mining, as has worked wonders in an economical and
tiflc manner; and, as the majority of men in charge of coal mines
in West Virginia are all students of mining, this has enabled us to
pace With si ter states and countries along these lines. The
changes and dlfferenl methods that have been installed in the mines
or this state during the pael few years speak for themselves the won-
il revolutions that have taken place and the progressive spirit that
among the mining fraternity of the state. we do not today
the crude method- of determining the physical condition
ir mines as we did in years pone by, but have kept pace with the
Inmenta of this and other countries, and we now have an-
the mine air in all intakes and returns to determine the dan-
and quantities that may be present.

44 Annual Report op [W. Va.
We have hydrometric readings taken in our mines to tell whether or
not the mine air contains enough moisture to destroy our most deadly
enemy, coal dust, and render it inert and harmless.
Many leading mining men in other countries do (not take the same
precautionary measures as are taken in the mines of West Virginia,
particularly in such Instances as might be mentioned in regard to mine
Some consider a mixture of explosive gas that does not exceed
cent as not being too dangerous, while we consider anything that
r.a half per cent being dangerous, and immediately take
measures to make it even less so. Our safety measures are in porpor-
tion of ten to one safer than in those states and countries that are as
lenient as stated above, and while some may imagine that we are go-
[ng from one extreme to another, we still believe that we would rather
be rigid and on the strict side of safety than be lenient and take chances
lion.
The world of science has for some years been directing much effort
to Improve the condition of the farmer, the physician, the surgeon, etc.
No business of profession however, of a commercial magnitude has
been given more consideration by those interested than has coal min-
ing, and in this. West Virginia is not following, but is leading, as can
be well proven by the records of recent years. With the spirit of energy,
push, and progress that now animates the hearts of young mining men,
there is no reason to doubt that before many years West Virginia will
give a record to the coal mining fraternity of the world of which we
tna\ be proud and future generations may well imitate.
Much stimulus is given to the Mining Department by quarterly meet-
ings which are hold at the State Capitol by all members of the Depart-
• and the Governor of the state. General mining conditions are
!. the best ways and means of overcoming all difficulties, and
advice is given where it. is desired.
Much benefit has been derived by West Virginians, and particularly
by the Mining Department of the state, though the great work that is
being done by the United States Government in a scientific way, and
the President and people of this country generally are to be congratu-
l on having such a practical scientific and competent head for the
Bureau of Mines as Dr. J. A. Holmes, whose great work Is benefitting
this country, but all coal mining countries on the globe.
Miscellaneous.

were ventilated with furnaces and 5.7 per cent had natural ventilation.
The number of mining machines in operation in 1897 was 55, and in
1910 this amount increased to 1967 an increase of nearly 400 per
cent.
The tonnage of coal produced in 1897 by the machines was 600,418
and, in 1910, was 23,362,675, — an increase of nearly 400 per cent.
The average number of days the mines worked since 1897 is 222
and, in 1910, they worked 229 days. Since 1883 the average lives lost
inside the mines for every 1000 persons employed was 5.43 and dur-
ing the year 1910, was 5.61. During the year 1910 eighteen lives
were lost by electrocution in the mines. During the year 1910 there
were 7,907.4 acres of coal exhausted. In the same year there were
2,008 regular inspections and 534 special visits, a total of 2,542 in-
spections made in the mines by the Department.
During the year 1910 there were 70,285 persons employed in and
about the mines. During the year 1910 three hundred and twenty
(320) persons were killed and nine hundred and forty-two (942) per-
sons injured about the mines.

Tonnage per Fatality.
Since the year L883 the average tons of coal produced per each
fatality have been 144,481 tons, including 1910, which is 171,738 tons
per fatality. At those mines where fatal accidents occurred there was
an average of one life lost for each 80,139 tons of coal produced.
The total of 307 lives lost inside during the year occurred at 216
mines employing 25,554 persons and producing 24,602,612 gross tons
of coal, while at all other mines there were produced 28,321,096 gross
tons of coal without the loss of a single life inside the mines.
Safety Powder and Solid shooting.
Various brands of safety or permissible powders have been employed
in quite a number of the mines throughout the state where explosive
gases are generated to any extent, and also in those mines that are dry
and dusty. Their use has been made compulsory where such conditions
exist.
Shooting coal on the solid has been nearly eliminated throughout
the state, except where permission has been given by the district mine
Inspectors, when in their judgment the character of the coal and the
mining conditions will allow it to be done with a reasonable degree
ifety under such conditions and restrictions as they prescribe. No
permission is given under any circumstances where, in their judgment,
the conditions are favorable to the initiation of a dust explosion.
There was only one life lost during the year by a gas explosion. Not
a Bingle life was lost during the year by reason of coal dust being ex-
ploded. There were, however, nine other explosions that were caused
by ""' Premature explosion of shots, and the ignition of kegs or flasks
<>f blasting powder or other explosives.
Palla of '""'' :""1 '";i1 ;""1 accidents from mine cars have been the
chief factors la causing a large majority of the accidents in the mines
™tlgatlons as to the accidents from these two causes demonstrate
thai 66 per cent of them were due to contributory negligence on the
Pari ol either the persons killed or Injured or some other person and
• '""lM "of h:iv •'•,l,l,'<1 at all if only ordinary care had been taken
to prevenl them.
Strlcl discipline vigorously enforced by the mine officials would re-
'•'"'• the number of accidents from these causes at least 50 per cent
In conclusion, I wish to thank tin- President and the Secretary of the
We . Virginia Coal Mining Association, and each member, for the many
)10] Department of Mines. 47
courtesies shown the Mining Department in helping to better the min-
ing conditions of our state and in bringing about harmony and co-
operation between this Department and the operators, for without this
co-operation we would not have been able to obtain the success that
we have. "We hope that during the next year we may have your co-
operation and that we may still lessen the fatalities and accidents in
West Virginia.
EXAMINATION OF MINE FOREMEN AND FIRE BOSSES.
The positions of Mine Foreman or Fire Boss in coal mines are very
important ones as the lives and health of the men employed in the
mine depends to a great extent upon the actions and qualifications of
the men holding these positions, and in order to determine whether or
not the lives of the persons employed in the mines of this State were
being protected against danger, as far as possible, the Chief of the
Department of Mines appointed a Board of Examiners to hold examina-
tions throughout the State for the purpose of examining the men em-
ployed in such positions and those aspiring to same.
The examinations were conducted by a Board appointed for this
purpose. The examination questions were all entirely practical, such
as any Mine Foreman or Fire Boss could answer without difficulty,
were he qualified to hold such position.
The results of these examinations have been beneficial to the Mining
Fraternity of the State in many ways.
FIRST: It places men in charge of the mines who are qualified to
handle them with safety to persons and property.
SECOND: It has aroused the persons interested in this line of busi-
ness and set them to work on studying mining conditions thoroughly
therefore, qualifying them to more intelligently perform their duties.
In this connection the Department wishes to thank the Operators
throughout the state for their hearty co-operation and support in the
management of these examinations. We have heard many expressions
throughout the state, commending the good results of these examina-
tions and the Department feels that no better course could have been
persued to safeguard the persons employed.
The examinations were held at the following places:
Mt. Hope Oct. 6-7, 1909.
Bluefield Oct. 13-14, 1909.
Clarksburg Oct. 20-21, 1909.
Elkins Oct. 27-28, 1909.
Charleston Nov. 3-4 1909.
Bluefield Mch. 9-10, 1910.
Wheeling Mch. 16-17, 1910.
Fairmont Mch. 23-24, 1910.
Elkins Apr. 6-7, 1910.
Glen Jean Apr. 27-28, 1910.
Beckley May. 11-12. 1910.
48 Annual Report of [W. Va.
Logan May 18-19, 1910.
Charleston May 25-2 6, 1910.
As will be seen from the above dates and places the examinations
have been held in the most centrally located places for convenience
to those employed in the mines and each was thoroughly advertised in
advance so that each man desiring a certificate of competency, could
attend.
At these examinations there was a total of 1,62 9 applications and of
this number 852 were successful, as follows:
470 ,. .First Class.
351 Second Class.
31 Fire Boss.
It will be seen from the above table that nearly 50 per cent of the
men holding and aspiring for those positions were not qualified and by
placing qualified men in these positions it can readily be realized that
by permitting certified men only to hold these positions, how material-
ly it reduces the chances of fatal accidents in and around the mines.

Hon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear Sir: — I have made an inspection of Jamison No. 7 Mines, at
Barrack ville, W. Va., on May 30th, of which report has been sent you.
Today I have revisited this mine and find conditions the same as re-
ported. This mine is in the earlier stage of development and the farth-
erest places from shaft to be ventilated are within about 500 feet of it.
A large new fan is being installed, but will not be in operation for a
month at least. Today, 30,75 0 cubic feet of air entered the shaft,
however, this is not sufficient to dilute the gases as my safety lamp
showed from two to three per cent of gas in the whole "South split and
1 1-2 per cent in North Split". The air is well distributed to the Work-
ing faces, and the fan is run to its capacity. Wolf safety lamps, com-
pressed air punchers and permissible explosives are used exclusively.
96 per cent moisture in mine workings. There are competent mine
foremen in charge and the Jamison Coal Company is doing all they
can to get the new fan in operation.
J have tried several times today to speak to you over phone, but
failed.
As there is no shooting done while men are in the mine, please ad-
vise, as to whether or not you would consider this mine in a condition
unsafe to be operated.
Very respectfully yours,
KARL F. SCHOEW,
Mine Inspector 1st. District.

Charleston, W. Va.f June 6th, 1910.
Mr. Karl F. Schoew,
Mine Inspector,
Fairmont, West Virginia.
Dear Sir: — Replying to your favor of June 2nd, relative to the in-
spection of Jamison No. 7 mine at Barracksville, W. Va., May 30th, and
to the condition in which you found said mine as per the report sent
to this office. You state that on re-examination of the mine that you
find the conditions the same as reported on previous visit. The report
indicates that the mine is generating gas very freely. To such an ex-
tent that you consider it to be in a dangerous condition and ask to be
advised as to wheeher in our opinion we believe that it is unsafe to
operate such mine under existing conditions. While it is true that the
mine generates gas very freely, yet the precautions that are being taken by
the operating company to give so far as possible, adequate protection
to the persons employed in the mine and this protection being the best
that can be done under the circumstances to secure immunity from ac-
cident from the dangers that they have to contend with and inasmuch,
as the current of air now passing around the working faces are far in
excess of the demands of the law, we believe that it would not be wise
to impose any additional hardships upon the said operating company,
more than what is reasonable when it is taken into consideration as
we believe, that with the precautions that are being taken there is no
immediate danger that has not been provided for to the utmost extent
by said company. And beleiving further that as the shooting of the ;
coal is done when all the men are out of the mine, except the shot
firers, we are of the opinion that the danger has been minimized to the
greatest possible extent. We are further of the opinion that with a
volume of air of 30,750 cubic feet per minute circulating around the
working faces, that the air is traveling at a velocity sufficiently high
to prevent any accumulations of gas in dangerous quantities or to such
an extent as would be likely to initiate an explosion, and further believ-
ing that if this volume of air was increased to a greater velocity that it
would rather tend to increase the danger, rather than diminish it.
Frokn the fact that if there was by any possible concourse of circum-
stances any accumulation of gas that the increased velocity would be an
increased danger in passing the explosive mixture through the gauze
of the safety lamp and that therefore, the remedy in this case would
be worse than the disease. However being perfectly convinced in our
mind that no dangerous accumulation of gas can exist under the pres-
ent conditions of ventilation, we believe that we would not be justified
in closing down the mine. Yet in order to secure perfect safety as far
as possible, I would suggest that you recommend to the management,
that the Shot Firer shall commence to fire the shots at the point near-
est to the return and that he allow a sufficient length of time to elapse
between the firing of each shot as will permit all of the smoke to be
cleared away before firing the next shot. And also to see that there is
no accumulation of dust in the vicinity where shots are being fired
as would make it possible for the shot to ignite said dust and that only
Annxai. Rkport of [W. Va.
day tamping or some other incombustable material be used in the tamp-
Ing of the hole, and that no holes shall be bored on the solid and that
no coal be permitted under any circumstances to be blasted off the
solid and also that this Shot firer must be a thoroughly competent!
•..nil by reason of experience and intelligence to perform this work.
In addition to the above I would suggest that you recommend that
some person be especially designated to notify the men in the mine in
case of Btoppage of the fan for any cause whatever and whose duty it
shall be, should the fan be stopped to at once proceed to notify the men
in the mine to come out immediately. With all these precautions being
taken, together with the fact that the best grade of permissible ex-
plosives are used exclusively in blasting the coal as well as the moisture
of the air being nearly at the complete saturation point, we are of the
opinion that every reasonable precaution has been taken to secure
safety to the persons employed in the mine. And that therefore, we,
under all of the circumstances believe that the mine can be operated
with the assurance that every precaution has been used to safeguard
the lives and health of the persons employed therein.
It is understood that with all the other precautions named above,
that the fan must be run continuously DAY AND NIGHT arod INCLUD-
ING SUNDAYS and that should from any cause whatever it be found
necessary to stop the fan, that the men be immediately withdrawn
from the mine and not permitted to return thereto until the fan has
been put in operation and the ventilating current restored to such an
extent as will remove any possible accumulations of gas that may have
generates during the stoppage of the fan and before the men are per-
mitted to return have an examination made of all the places to see that
they are perfectly safe.

3. That the explosive, if frozen, shall be thoroughly thawed in a

The above partial list includes all the permissible explosives that
have passed these tests prior to May 16, 1910. The announcement of
the passing of like tests by other explosives will be made public imme-
diately after the completion of the tests.
With a view to the wise use of these explosives it may be well in
this connection to point out again certain differences between the per-
missible explosives as a class and the black powders now so generally
used in coal mining, as follows:
(a) With equal quantities of each, the flame of the black powder is
more than three times as long and has a duration three thousand to
more than four thousand times that of one of the permissible explo-
sives. The rate of explosion also is slower.
(b) The permissible explosives are one and one-fourth to one and
three-fourths times as strong and are said, if properly used, to do
twice the work of black powder in bringing down coal; hence only half
the quantity need be used.
(c) With 1 pound of a permissible explosive or 2 pounds of black
powder the quantity of noxious gases given off from a 6hot averages
approximately the same, the quantity from the black powder being
less than from some of the permissible explosives and slightly greater
than from others. The time elapsing after firing before the miner
returns to the working face or fires another shot should not be less
for permissible explosives than for black powder.
The use of permissible explosives should be considered as supple-
mental to and not as a substitute for other safety precautions in mines
where gas or inflammable coal dust is present under conditions indi-
cating il anger. As stated above, they should be used with strong
<!< mnators, and the charge of the explosive used in coal mining should
not exceed 1 1-2 pounds, and in many cases need not exceed 1 pound.

Mine Rescue Work.
The mine-rescue station represents one of the most recent efforts
made by the Government to reduce the number of fatal accidents in
mines, and it is but one feature of a general study of the causes of
mine disasters now being undertaken by the Geological Survey at the
mine-accidents station in Pittsburg, Pa.
This humanitarian work was started in July, 1908, by authorization
of Congress, which appropriated $150,000 for this purpose, after four
explosions in coal mines in December, 1907, costing 700 lives. These
disasters startled the entire country and led to a general inquiry into
the death rates among miners in the United States. Statistics gather-
ed by the United States Geological Survey showed 2,061 miners killed
and 4,800 injured in the coal mines in 1906, and 3,125 killed and 5,800
injured in 1907. The death rate for 1907 was 4.86 for every 1,000 men
employed. In 1908, 2450 men were killed, or 3.60 in every 1,000 em-
ployed, a reduction of 675 in the number of deaths from 1907.
European coal-producing countries show death rates in mining as low
as 1 in every 1,000 men employed and not more than 2. In other
words, for every man killed in European coal mines from two to four
are killed in the mines of the United States. Since 1889 more than
30,000 miners have been killed in the United States. The lower death
rate in European countries is due to the establishment of government
testing stations for the investigation of problems relating to safety in
mining, including the use of explosives.
The principal work at the Pittsburg station consists of testing ex-
plosives to determine their safety w'hen fired in the presence of ex-
plosive gas or coal dust, and much progress has already been made in
this work. It is the purpose of the Government to continue the tests
of explosives until certain of them can be recommended to state min-
ing bureaus, coal-mine owners, and miners as reasonably safe.
The principal mine-rescue station in the country is situated at Pitts-
burg, in the center of the greatest coal field in the world. A second
station has been established at the University of Illinois, taking care
of investigations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, northern Mis-
souri, and western Kentucky. Another station has been established
at Knoxville, Tenn., to cover Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, eastern
Kentucky, Georgia, and southern West Virginia. Other stations will
be established at or near the greater centers of accidents. Perhaps one
will be located at Raton, N. Mex., to take care of the work in New Mex-
ico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. A station has also been
suggested at Salt Lake City, which will be central for the Utah fields
and accessible to the Montana and the Washington fields. The coal
fields of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and southwestern Missouri are to be
covered by a station near South McAlester, Okla.
Government mining engineers thoroughly trained in the use of res-
cue apparatus have been assigned to the stations already established
72 Annual Report of [W. Va.
and are ready at a moments notice to go to any disaster in their dis-
trict. Winn an explosion occurs in a coal mine, the reestablishing of
the ventilating current is often delayed several hours, and many lives
have been lost apparently because rescuers have been unable to ad-
vance beyond the area where the mine was ventilated in order to find
persons who had suffered no physical injury from the explosion, but
who were slowly dying from inhalation of poisonous and non-life-sup-
porting gases. With a properly equipped rescue corps wearing
oxygen helmets many lives may be saved if the rescuers can reach the
mine within two or three hours after the explosion. Such is the record
at mines in foreign countries which are equipped with similar rescue
apparatus and at mines in the United States where the apparatus has
been brought into action within a few hours after the explosion. Sev-
eral coal-operating companies have realized the advantages of such
safety appliances and have installed them at some place convenient to
their mines. Equipped with the oxygen helmets, which permit arti-
fical breathing, the rescuers are enabled to enter a mine at once, even
though it is filled with noxious and irrespirable gases or with smoke.
The stations are also headquarters of the engineers for the study of
the waste of coal in mining — one of the important problems before the
Geological Survey — and for investigating conditions in mines which
may be conductive to disasters from explosions or roof falls. The sta-
tions are equipped with airtight rooms where gas can be generated.
Coal-mining companies are invited to send to these stations picked men
who may be trained by the government experts in the use of the oxy-
gen hemlets. It is not the purpose of the Government to engage in
general rescue work, but rather to supervise mine-rescue operations
and to demonstrate this apparatus until the mining companies have
throughly trained rescue crews at their mines.
The Work of The Stations.
When a mine explosion occurs within a radius permitting the trans-
portation of apparatus from the rescue station to the scene of disaster,
a trained rescue corps is sent in all possible haste to the mine. On
arrival, and with the concurrence of the state mine inspectors and the
mine owners, local miners, preferably men who have personal knowl-
of the mine, are properly instructed in the use of the apparatus.
Tin- rescuers, each equipped with an oxygen helmet and a portable elec-
tric lamp, enter the mine and make an exploration for the purpose of
finding any men who may have been overcome by the after-gases of
the explosion. When a man is found, he is immediately taken outside
of the mine, or to some station inside the mine where the atmosphere
i* breathable, and there rescuers endeavor to revive him by adminis-
terlng oxygen and by exercising his body. Each rescue corps carries
a resuscitating cabinet, which consists of cylinders charged with oxy-
a flexible breathing bag, flexible tube, and a hood that fits over
• he moinii and nostrils of the patient.
Mine Rescue Apparatus.
Mine rescue apparatus of the compressed-oxygen type permits a
rearing 11 to breathe naturally with little inconvenience for a
1910] Department of Mines. 73
continuous period of two or three hours, even while surrounded by
deadly or irritating fumes, smoke, or other irrespirable gases. The
principal features of such an apparatus are the tanks or cylinders con-
taining the oxygen under high pressure, absorption cans for taking up
the oxygen exhaled from the lurngs, and a helmet or mouth attachment
with breathing bags, which enable the person wearing the apparatus
to breathe with ease. The foregoing features are accomplished in dif-
ferent degrees of efficiency by different types of apparatus. At the
Pittsburg station the various types of mine rescue apparatus are being
tested to determine their relative efficiency.
Without a careful study of the mechanism and function of each part
of such apparatus and careful training in its use, no person should at-
tempt to wear the apparatus in the dangerous atmosphere in mines
immediately after an explosion or during a fire. Training in the prop-
er manipulation of the apparatus is imperative for its successful use in
mine rescue work. The apparatus is most effective when it is worn by
persons who by training have learned to have confidence in its efficiency
and who are also accustomed to underground work in coal mines.
Tests of Lamps.
Tests are being made at the Pittsburg station of all types of lamps
used for lighting purposes within mines with respect to their safety in
the presence of explosive mixtures of coal gas and air. The candle-
power of all safety lamps is determined for different kinds of oil used
in mines, and electric portable lamps are also being tested in like man-
ner as to their candlepower and their safety in explosive mixtures of
gas and air. The tests are made in currents of air running at different
velocities and charged with explosive gas.
The effect of different percentages of explosive gas on the flame of
safety lamps is tested, and facilities are provided whereby miners, fire
bosses, and others interested may insert safety lamps in a gallery con-
taining small portions of explosive gas to witness the effect of the gas
on the flame.
Mine Accidents.
Reports of all mine accidents throughout the United States and for-
eign countries are collected and prepared by the staff at the testing sta-
tion. On the occurrence of a serious mine disaster in any part of the
United States, experienced mining engineers are sent to the scene of
the disaster for the purpose of studying the conditions under which the
accident may have occurred. Data procured by the engineers are
available for the tests conducted in the artificial mine gallery at the
testing station and within an experimental mine.
Explosives.
All classes of explosives made for use within mines are being ex-
amined at the Pittsburg plant in order to determine the effect of shoot-
ing them into coal dust, mixtures of coal dust and explosive gas, and
explosive gas alone, and the limit charge for safety is determined on
each class of explosives.
74 Annual Repobt of [W. Va.
Cincinnati, O., November 10th, 1909.
Mr. John l>aing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear Sir: — Persuant to your instructions, the undersigned made a
visit to Terra Haute, Ind., in company with Mr. W. W. Hall, Agent for
the G. D. Whitcomb Company, of Chicago, for the purpose of examin-
ing a gasoline motor, which was manufactured by that concern.
Leaving Charleston, November 7th, 1909, we arrived at Terra Haute
on Monday the 8th mst. but were too late to see the motor in operation
that day. On Tuesday, however, we had a good opportunity to see the
motor at work under every severe service conditions.
The mine in which we saw this motor was the lower vein, No. 1
Mine, and is operated by the Richards Brothers of Terre Haute.
The motor is a 6 ton, 4 cycle, or 4 cylinder machine. These cylin-
ders are 6 1-2 inch bore and 6 inch stroke. They operate at a
normal speed of 540 revolutions per minute. The motor is equipped
with friction clutches, which will give a four mile per hour low speed
and an 8 mile per hour high speed. The forward and backward mo-
tion of the motor is also accomplished by means of friction clutches.
The dimensions of the motor are as follows: Height above rail 42",
width 54" and length 12' 4" over all.
The motor in operation carries two 7 gal. gasoline tanks. These
tanks are filled on the outside and brought into mines and attached to
motor. The position of the tanks when attached, is in an inverted po-
sition and is shown by the accompanying print. The tanks are set in
the side of the frame and cannot be tampered with. They are opened
by a needle valve, after being connected to a special union. The only
chance for these tanks to burst open is from a side blow. You will
note, however, that the tank is protected by a 3-8 inch metal shield,
which will first receive the impact of the Mow.
The motor consumes per day of eight hours about 15 gals, of gaso-
line, which is said to be 68 to 70 degrees Baume.
We noted the motor is equipped with two separate igniters one on
a battery arrangement and used for starting and the other a Magneto
which was operated by the motor in transit.
The motor was operated entirely in the return aid current, and we
are of the opinion that the fumes given off where the air is not af-
terwards conducted into the working places, are not seriously ob-
jectionable, and we see no reason why it cannot be used in the mines
of West Virginia under similar conditions.
The approximate cost of the 6 ton gasoline motor manufactured by
thi.s company is $3,500.00.
The gasoline engine cylinders in which the explosions of gasoline
tak<s place are water jacketed. The motor has a storage capacity of
about two barrels of water, which will last four days.
The wheels of the locomotive are 20 inches in diameter.
We would respectfully suggest that in the mines of West Virginia,
in which the operating companies desire to use these locomotives,
the\ be required to comply with the following rules:
FIRST: That in all cases where possible, these motors be operated
1910] Depaetment of Mines. 75
on a return air current of a quantity per minute to be determined by
the District Mine Inspector.
SECOND: That the gasoline tanks be filled on the out side of the
mine.
THIRD: That the gasoline tanks must not be stored in the mine.
FOURTH: The starting device must be covered.
FIFTH: That the motorman and all others be instructed to the
dangers incident to the handling of gasoline in a mine.
As a general proposition, we consider this motor operated, under the
conditions described, a much safer haulage arrangement than an elec-
tric equipment.
From a pecuniary standpoint, there is absolutely no question as to
the superiorty of the gasoline locomotive over any other type. It is
self-contained, requires no means of transmission of power, either to
or from any other source.

Dear Sir: — On January 6th, 1910, a fatal accident occurred at the
Jamison, No. 7 Shaft, at Barrackville, W. Va., also a non-fatal accident
on same date.
The contract for sinking the shaft had been let to Mr. Stark, who has
not as yet finished the work. Failing to receive notice of accidents. I
have made an ivestigation as to the cause of accidents on April 6th,
1910. You will note from the letter enclosed, that I have taken the
matter up with Gen. Superintendent Mr. Morris Head. However, he
has not answered my letter, nor complied with my request. At the
time when I wrote to Mr. Morris in regard to this matter, in my opin-
ion, (any excavation of minerals is a mine) therefore, I consider a
new shaft; although it had not reached the coal, a mine. Further, as
the contractors employed by coal companies to sink shafts consider
themselves exempt from mining laws. I would like an expression of
76 Annual Report of [W. Va.
opinion from you on these matters. At Xo. 7 Shaft, the third shaft
had reached a depth of 190 feet, today 36 men are employed in sink-
ing this shaft in 2 4 hours.
Kindly advise also, if I shall include these men in with the number
employed inside of Jamison No. 7 mine.

Dear Sir: — I have before me your letter of the 13th, inst., which en-
1 a letter to you written by Mr. Karl Schoew, Mine Inspector of
the Firs! District, in which he states that a new shaft was being sunk
for the purpose of taking out coal in his district, which had reached a
depth of aboul L90 feet, where 36 men were employed within twenty-
four hours, in sinking the same, and that a fatal accident did occur
therein, and that this operation (the sinking of the shaft) being let
contractor, did not come within the provisions of the mining laws
of this state. You ask for an opinion thereon.
I am clearly of the opinion that such an operation would come with-
in and be BUbject to the mining laws of this state. The legal defini-
tion of a mine is: "An excavation in the earth for the purpose of ob-
taining minerals" Bouvier's Dictionary" . it is further said:
"The term mine appears to be synonymous in its meaning with the
term vein' or 'lode', and is used to Include the bed or vein of ore into
which the pit enters, so far as may be necessary to the working of the
mine; ami the whole of a series of shafts and subterranean passages
and chambers connected with it." 27 Cyc. 532.
The Mine ]n of that district can properly require reports
1910] Department of Mines. 77
for accidents occurring within this shaft, and should include in his re-
ports the men working in this shaft as employed inside of this mine.
I herewith return you Mr. Schoew's letter as requested.
Yours truly,
WM. G. CONLEY,
Attorney-General,
By Frank Lively, Assistant.
The folowing is part of a paper written by George W. Rice a min-
ing engineer employed by the technological branch of the United
States Bureau of Mines and published under the direction of the United
States Geological Survey and is here reproduced because of the valu-
able information to the mining interests contained therein.
MINE EXPLOSION AND RESCUE APPARATUS.
One of the first matters arranged for by Director Holmes was the
purchase of various kinds of rescue apparatus used abroad for mine
accident work. Two or more sets of each kind that are on the market
either in this country or abroad have been purchased and are now at
the Pittsburg station. Certain makes which have been more extensive-
ly tested abroad have been purchased in larger lots, not only to make
experiments with but to serve for mine rescue work. Primarily, the
purpose of the Survey is not to undertake rescue work but to educate
the mining public and interest coal operators throughout the country
to establish rescue stations at individual groups of mines. All mining
men know that promptness is of the utmost importance if life or even
property is to be saved. In many explosions it has not been the direct
force of the explosion which has killed, but the effects of the after
damp. With a station accessible and a trained corps of men that could
reach the mine within 15 minutes, or half an hour at most, a great
many lives could be saved. For the training of selected men the Survey
has established a training room at the Pittsburg Station. This room,
contains a sort of mine gangway of entry with an overcast to climb
over. There are a track and car, piles of brick to be moved, props and
brattice cloth to be erected, dummies the size and weight of a man,
to be carried around the entry and over the overcast in approved man-
ner. Charcoal and sulphur is burned in salamanders to make a dense
smoke, unlivable in without tight self-contained oxygen-carrying or
generating apparatus.
The men to be trained put these on, and entering the smoking room,
go through a hard, systematic drill for as long as the apparatus is
good for. The best kinds of apparatus are good for 2 hours before
renewing the oxygen tank or chemicals. Records of the work per-
formed by each man and of the apparatus used are kept for future com-
parison and reporting.
As an illustration of the usefulness of the helmets in fighting fire,
the men wearing them are able to hold and direct the hose, where
men without helmets could not have worked at all. By so doing they
were able to put out in 12 hours what appeared to be a very serious
fire in a large well equipped mine.
The plan of training men in rescue work is to have always from two
Annual Repobt of [W. "Va.
to six men in training at the Pittsburg station. These men are sup-
posed to stay at the station for about 2 weeks each and to devote 8
hours per day to rescue work in the training room and to the testing
of safety lamps. The men are selected by the coal companies and are
sent to the station and maintained there at the expense of the coal com-
panies. After completing their period of training at the station they
are expected to return to their homes and there act as leaders in im-
parting the information obtained at the station to others in their
vicinity.
SAFETY LAMP TESTING. — At the Pitsburg station there is a lamp-
testing apparatus, similar to those used in the Belgian and German
stations, for testing safety lamps in various velocities of air and vary-
ing percentages of methane. The object of this apparatus is to test
the behavior of the different types of safety-lamps in explosive currents
such as might be met with in mines.
The lamps are placed in the galery on suitable supports, and the ex-
plosive mixture of gases drawn through the gallery at different velo-
cities. The velocity of the current of firedamp can be varied at will,
and the action of the lamp is tested in currents of gas moving in ver-
tical, horizontal, and inclined directions, as the gallery is so construct-
ed that the lamp can be placed at any angle to the current. It has
been demonstrated that there is a vast difference in the safety and
efficiency of safety lamps. Some safety lamps will stand the horizon-
tal current, but on a slanting current of high velocity an explosion
may be caused in less than 5 minutes time.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:
A fan draws a current of air through the apparatus, the current en-
tering through the right end of the gallery. Gas is admitted by means
of two branch pipes toward the right end. Through the use of the
pressure gauges, situated at the left end of the gallery, the air and gas
can be admitted, this being effected by introducing the gas into the air
in many hundreds of fine streams through the perforations in the
pipes.
The doors on the front face of the gallery are fitted with windows
of heavy plate glass. They allow the insertion and observation of the
lamp. if, for example, the lamp is placed in the apparatus in the
channH way by means of the door "B" to the right, it will be subject-
ed to the action of a downward deflected current of gas at an angle of
I", degreae. It at "D" an ascending or descending current affects it.
Safety valves relieves the pressure in the apparatus wihen an explo-
sion of the firedamp takes place.
Various devices, are used in recording the pressure and volume of
gas entering the gallery.
On th.- grounds there is a large tube, 10 feet in diameter and 30
feet long, in which tests of electric mining machines and locomotives
in the presence of Bredamip and coal dust are being made. This gal-
lery i- also used in making comparative tests of safety lumps in a
quiet atmosphere and incidentally serves for the training of miners and
foremen in requiring them to determine the percentage of methane
nt. The proportions of air and methane in the gallery are defl-
' known by measurement and are checked by chemical analysis of
samples taken.
1910] Department of Mines. 79
MINE EXPLOSIVES INVESTIGATIONS: — The testing of explosives
for mines is of the utmost importance to coal mining. A gallery 100
feet long and 6 feet 4 inches in diameter, constructed of boiler plate
has been erected on the ground. At one end, there is mounted a mor-
tar or cannon, imbedded in a mass of concrete. This simulates the
face of an entry, the bore hole of the cannon representing the drill
hole, and necessarily one that would cause a blown-out shot. Devices
are arranged for introducing methane in known proportions in any
section, this section being shut off by a paper brattice which is retain-
ed tightly in place by suitable flanges.
There are also movable shelves, on which coal dust can be placed
to be tried in the presence of explosives. Safety valves have been
placed all along the top and are left unfastened so that when ever there
is an explosion the valves fly open on their hinges. A series of post
holes on the side, covered with 1-2 inch glass, enable those conducting
the experiments to witness the results from an observation house 60
feet away. An explosive mixture of firedamp and air, or coal dust and
air, is pumped into the cylinder and the explosive which is to be test-
ed is shot into it from one end of the cylinder, so that the flame goes
right into the firedamp or coal dust. Natural gas is used at this sta-
tion for firedamp, because it corresponds very closely to this deadly
gas. The cannon in which the explosives are placed is fired by elec-
tricity from the observation house which is parallel with the cylinder
itself. By means of a long narrow observation window covered by
glass and protected by a hood, a number of persons can observe the
effect of an explosion in the tube without injury to themselves.
It may be stated that all coal dust of a bituminous character that
has so far been tried, has ignited and produced a true explosion in
the presence of a blown out shot Where black powder or dynamite has
been used for the shot. The object in the use of the gallery is to find
explosives that will not ignite firedamp or coal dust.
The Director of the Survey has issued circular letters to the manu-
facturers of the country, inviting them to send such explosives as
they desire to have tested for their permissibility for use in mines
containing gas, gas and dust, or dust, in dangerous quantities.
Besides the explosives-gallery tests of explosives there are a num-
ber of others of the explosives alone. There is a ballistic pendulum,
which is to test the relative force of the various explosives, this being
indicated by the relative length of swing of the pendulum. The pen-
dulum, flame camera, calorimeter, and Bichel apparatus are standard,
and similar in construction and use to those adopted at the British
and other foreign testing stations. There is a flame testing apparatus,
which consists of a vertical cannon, an enclosed dark gallery with
dark room beyond, in which a photographic machine is placed. The
length and duration of the flame are recorded at exceedingly short
intervals upon a sensitive film traveling at high speed. In front of
the film there is a lens of rock quartz used to develop the ultraviolet
rays which characterize the heat portion of the flame. There is an ex-
plosion calorimeter, which is to determine the amount of heat devel-
open by the explosive. There are Trauzl lead blocks on which the im-
pact of the higher explosives is tested, and finally one of the most im-
80 Annual Report o* [W. Va.
pcirtant of the labatory testing machines, the Bichel apparatus, in
which a small quantity of the explosives in a vacuum chamber, and
the resultant pressure and duration of same is indicated on a revolv-
ing cylinder similar to that of the ordinary steam indicator. The
gases resulting from the explosion are also drawn off and analyzed.
Thai investigation into the application of electricity in mine is a
(iying want felt by most mining men, is evidenced by discussions that
arise at meetings of societies and institutes. Some of the subjects on
which enlightment is particularly needed are: The defectiveness of
ordinary insulation in mines and its rapid destruction by acid waters
and mine air; also the question whether the enclosed types of mining
machines are safe in the presence of fire damp; whether the various
electrical lamps, incandescent or portable, are safe to use in the pres-
ence of gas; and if telephones are safe to use under all conditions.
Tnen there is the much discussed question of what voltage is wise to
use.
In opening to view these vistas of the work in hand, the Technologic
Branch has many things to investigate, the ends of which cannot be
seen, and that the difficulty which confronts the mines accident sec-
tion in particular is to obtain results as early as the needs of the min-
ing oi>erations of the country seem to require.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWtEEN PERMISSIBLE EXPLOSIVES AND
BLACK POWDER.
Explosive circular No. 3, issued by the U. S. Geological Survey, con-
tains the following announcement:
With a view to the wide use of these permitted explosives, it may
be well in this connection to point out again certain difference between
permissible explosives as a class and the black powders now so gener-
ally used in coal mining, as follows:
(a) With equal quantities of each, the flame of the black powder is
more than three times as long and has a durnation 3000 to more than
4 000 times that of one of the permissible explosives, the rate of ex-
plosion also is slower.
( I) ) The permissible explosives are 1 1-4 to 1 3-4 times as strong
and are said, if properly used, to do twice the work of black powder
in breaking down coal; hence only half the quantity need be used.
(c) With lb. of a permissible explosive or 2 lbs. of black powder,
the quantity of noxious gases given off from a shot averages aprox-
i "lately the same, the quantity from the black powder being less than
from some of the permissible explosives and slightly greater than from
others. The time elapsing after firing before the miner returns to the
working face, or fires another shot, should not be less for permissible
explosives than for black powder.
The use of permissible explosives should be considered as supple-
mental to and Tiot as a substitute for other safety precautions in mines
where gas or Inflammable coal dust is present, other conditions indi-
cating dai
Aa stated above they should be used with strong detonators, and
the charge of the explosives used in coal mining should not exceed 1
1-2 lbs., and in many cases need not exceed 1 pound.

Department of Mines, State of West Virginia
Office of the District Aline Inspector.
Fairmont, June 30, 1910.
Hon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Dear Sir: — As District Mine Inspector of the First Mining District
of the State of West Virginia, in compliance with section 3 of the
mining laws, I herewith respectfully report for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1910.
This district embraces mines in Marion, Marshall, Ohio, Brooke
and Hancock Counties. The mining operations of these Counties were
visited by me regularly until December 7, 1909, when by instructions
from your department my duties were confined to Marion County ex-
clusively.
During the year, one hundred and four regular mine inspections
were made, together with fifty-nine special visits. I considered
it one of my first duties to prevent accumulations of gasses in mines
inspected by me, also to maintain a minimum humidity of ninety per
cent in them. Careful attention was given to make roof secure by
timbering, while drainage was found to be a minor problem.
Several mine fires were fought successfully by applying modern
methods.
Special visits were marie for the purpose of investigating fatal
accidents and ascertaining whether my recommendations were complied
with to prevent such accidents. I found precautic/ns recommended fully
complied with.
In conjunction with my regular duties, I attended inspectors'
meetings and assisted in conducting mine foreman and fire bosses
examinations.
The quarterly meetings of district mine inspectors, held at
Charleston. West Virginia, under direction of Governor W. E. Glass-
Annual Report of fW. Va.
cock, and John Laing, Chief of Department of Mines, were of in-
estimable value. The exchange of views, and practical information
advanced by those present made it possible to better protect both
life and property in the coal mines of the State.
Further, by the Hon. John Laing, Chief of Department of Mines,
requiring mine foreman, assistant mine foreman and fire bosses, to
undergo an examination to prove their fitness for their various posi-
tions, and by the determination of the operating companies to comply
with the mining laws of the State, fatalities and injuries to employes,
both, inside and outside of mines in my district have been reduced to
a minimum.
The willingness cf the operating companies to introduce the most
modern mining appliances to insure the safety of their employes have
borne good results. During the year, not a man was killed or in-
jured by an explosion from gas or coal dust. Not since the Depart-
ment of Mines has kept a record of fatalities, has this record 'been
excelled.
Knowing that hundreds of precious lives, and hundreds of thousands
of dollars' worth of valuable coal properties are at stake, the con-
tinued co-operation of the mining fraternity is most heartily desired
by the Inspector of the First Mining District of the State of West
Virginia.
Yours respectfully,
Karl F. Schoew.
Mine Inspector First District.

employing 151 men in a six ft. 7 in. seam of Pittsburg Coal. The
coal is mined on the double entry system, with pick, and electric chain
machines. Electric motors and endless rope deliver the coal to tipple.
Black-ipowder is used for blasting and is done under direction of
a mine foreman and assistant. The roof is bad, timbering is carefully
attended to. Drainage is good, and has been much improved duri ig
the past year. Ventilation produced by a twenty ft. diameter ex-
haust fan is satisfactory. No gasses have been detected liberating on
recent inspections, and open lights are used. Coal dust is loaded out
as far as practical, and what remains is watered down. The safety
of employees is carefully looked after. This mine is well managed

men inside A seven ft. 8 in. seam of Pittsburg coal is mined on
the double entry system, with pick and chain machines. Blasting is
done with permissible explosives and hauling done to tipple -with
electric motors. Competent shot-firers are employed. The roof is
unsound in several sections of the mine, but timbering and drainage
are good. Ventilation is produced by a twenty ft. diameter force fan
and gives satisfactory results. Gasses are liberating, but the neces-
sary precautions are taken to render these harmless. Examinations
are made periodically of the mine air, results of these analyses are
furnished the operating officials on a regular form. These reports
are carefully examined for any irregularities in the quantity of air in
each split; of the atmosphere becoming dry and dusty; or of any in-
crease in mine gasses. Steam is induced into the intake air, to
produce the necessary amount of moisture for watering the coal dust.
The percentages of moisture are reported to the State Mining De-
partment, after inspections are made by the district mine inspector.
Annual Report of |"W. Va..
Competent fire-bosses are on duty day and night. Open lights are
used. Fortunately, no fatal accidents have >ccurred at this mine dur-
ing the past year, which is largely due to precautionary measures
used by officials and employees. This mine is in good condition.
The requirements of the laws are complied with. A spirit of harmony
prevails smong operators and miners.

by use of the psychrometer twice weekly, and reported by the mining
engineers of the company, also by the district mine inspector at every
inspection. The temperature of the mine is kept as near as possible two
degrees above the natural temperature, by inducing exhaust steam into
the intake air. In April, a mine fire in a cross entry was extinguished
by sealing first the intake, and then the return air-way with brick and
cement, thereby smothering it. No water was used on the fire. It re-
mained sealed three months. This mine is managed well and operated

No. 13 7. Dakota Nos. J d- 2 Mines. — Located at Sparlan, two miles
north of Fairmont, on the Paw- Paw Branch of the B. & O. R. R.
Depth of shaft No. 2 is 194 feet to bottom of Pittsburg seam of coal,
which is nine feet thick. No developments have been made in the
Pittsburg .seam. No. 1 shaft is 69 feet deep to bottom of Sewickley
seam of coal, of five ft. average thickness. Fourteen men are em-
2fi Anni'ai Report of W. Va.
ployed in the Sewickley coal bed, mining it on the double entry system.
Compressed air punchers are used for undercutting the coal, the
latter is blasted with permissible explosives and hauled to the haft
bottom with string' teams. Shot-firing is directed by mine foreman..
The roof is unsound in several sections of the mine, but timbering1
is carefully attended to. Drainage and ventilation are good. A blow
fan of twelve feet diameter is being installed. Gasses are liberating
in small quantities, accumulations are prevented. A fire boss is on
duty during day shift, examinations for gasses are made by him as
required by law. Open lights are used. No fatal accidents have
occurred at this mine during the past year, largely due to precautions
exercised by officials and employees. The requirements of the min-
ing laws are complied with. This mine is well managed.

PHIT LIPS COAL COMPANY.
No. 138. Phillips Mine. — This mine is located at Benton's Ferry,
en the B. & O. R. R. It is a drift operation, employing eleven men
inside. A seven ft., 6 in. Pittsburg seam' of coal is mined on the
double netry system. The first coal shipments were made May 6,
1910. The coal is mined with pick, blasted with black powder and
nauled with string teams to upper terminal of an aerial bucket line,
thence by the latter conveyed to railroad. Shot-firing is directed by
mine foreman. Roof, timbering, drainage, and natural ventilation
are good. A fan of sufficient capacity to ventilate the mine work-
ings is being installed. Coal dust is loaded out, but what little re-
mains is thoroughly watered. Modern methods are used in mining
the coal. No gasses are liberating and open lights are used. This
mine is in good condition and is operated in compliance with the re-
quirements of the laws.

tion is produced by a twelve-foot fan which does not furnish sufficient
air for the proper ventilation of the working places. They have a
large quantity of water to contend with, requiring the use of several
pumps; drainage generally good. Arrangements are being made to
ventilate a part of the mine by means of a furnace which will be a
great improvement on the present system of ventilation. The coal
is principally undercut by electric chain machines. Second opening

\To. 105. La Belle Shaft. — Located at Steubenville, Ohio. The shaft
is one himdi'ed and ninety-eight feet deep and extends under the
Ohio river into Brooke County, West Virginia. Operations are in the
Upper Freeport Seam which has a thickness of three feet nine inches,
with a slate roof which is generally good. The mine is developed on
the double entry system and ventilated by a sixteen-foot fan which
furnishes sufficient air when properly distributed. Drainage good.
The coal is all cut by electric chain machines, and haulage is all by
electric motors, no mules being used in the mine. This is said to
be a gaseous mine but at the time of the last inspection, only slight
traces of explosive gas could be detected. In my judgment a shaft
should be sunk to this mine on the West Virginia side, as all the
present developments arc in this State. This mine was inspected in
company with Mr. L. D. Devore, the Ohio State Mine Inspector.

that special attention be given to ventilation and the proper distri-
bution of the air a? in several sections of the mine explosive gas is
liberated. The mine is practically dry; drainage good. At this
time there is but one opening in the mine. A shaft for a second
opening was sunk to the distance of a hundred and eighty feet when
the property was placed in the hands of a receiver, in the month of
October, 1909. Since that time, nothing further has been done to
the second opening. In all other respects the State Mine Law is
observed. No more than twenty persons are employed in this mine
at any one time. Coal is cut by electric mine machines and all
haulage is done by gathering motors.

Office of Second District Mine Inspector,
Clarksburg, W. Va., Sept. 8, 1910.
Hon. John Latng,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Str: — It is my duty in compliance with the Law, as well as a pleasure
to me personally, to herewith submit to you my Annual Report as Dis-
trict Mine Inspector for the 2nd Mining District of West Virginia, for
the year ending June 30, 1910.
The 2nd Mining District of "West Virginia is composed of all the com-
mercial operating coal mines within the boundary lines of the Counties
of Doddridge, Lewis, Harriscon, Ritchie, Upshur and Webster, the total
number of which is 76 (not including the openings reported as mines,
which have been connected underground and are working in connection
with other mir>es). Sixty-eight of these mines (seven of which have been
opened for operation during the past year), are operating the famous
Pittsburg seam, all of which are located in the County of Harrison. Six
are operating the Redstone seam (tow of which have been opened for
operation during the past year), and are located as follows. Two near
McWhorter in Harrison County, one near McWhorter in Lewis County,
and three near Buckhannon in Upshur County. The remaining two mines,
viz; the Buckhannon River Coal Company's Florence mine at Adrian in
Upshur County, and the Jacksonville Coal & Coke Company's Sarah B. No.
3 mine near Jacksonville in Lewis County, are confining (heir operations
to a seam of coal about which there is a diversity of opinion among geo-
logists and experts as to its corelation and identity. Therefore the writer
has been reporting the mine at Adrian as operating the Masontown seam,
and the mine at Jacksonville as operating the Pittsburg seam. Yet he is
1910] Department of Mines. 31
satisfied in his own mind that neither is correct and that both mines are
operating in the upper Freeport bed of coal.
The six Counties wbich form the 2nd Mining District of West Virginia
are centrally located in the State and in addition to being underlaid with
rich bituminous seams of coal of commercial thickness valuable for steam,
domestic and coking purposes, they contain the most important oil and
gas fields in the State. The lands are also rich for agricultural purposes,
especially that which borders the "West Fork of the Monongahela River,
flowing through Lewis and Harrison Counties.
The most important coal mining center in the 2nd Mining District at
the present time is the City of Clarksburg, around which the mines are
grouped that are operating in the Pittsburg coal, which is a very valuable
and important seam of coal from a prosperous operating stand point as
one of the characteristics of this coal is that it does not easily disintegrate
or break up while in transit, and is of good qualiy for steam and domestic
(and in some places coking) purposes. This coal is in very great demand
during that portion of the year when the Lakes are open for shipment,
and often the operators are compelled to lose shipments for the reason
that they are not able to produce the coal or that they are handicapped
for shipping facilities, etc.
The mines which are operating in the Redstone seam near McWhorter
and Buckhannon, it is reported are producing a very superior grade of
steam coal, which brings a higher price in the market than the Pittsburg
coal but the Cost of Production is necessarily larger on account of numer-
ous clay veins encountered.
The mine located at Jacksonville in Lewis County, and the one located
at Adrian in Upshur County, which are operating in the seam about which
opinions are divided as to its identity, report that they experienced some
trouble in marketing the coal, as it is high in Ash, but conditions are
ideal at these two mines for producing coal at the minimum Cost.
My observations are, that natural conditions have very nearly equalized
the opportunities for profitable mining in all of the seams of coal so far
operated commercially in the 2nd Mining District of West Virginia.
I am very glad to report to you that the miners, mine officials and mine
operators (with a very few exceptions) in the 2nd District of West Vir-
ginia, do not look upon the Inspection Department of the State as special
detectives sent out for the purpose of getting them into trouble but as
friends and advisers to prevent them from getting into trouble. For this
reason I have had but little trouble to have a compliance with the Law
without any prosecutions to report, and have had in nearly all cases a
very prompt compliance with such suggestions and recommendations as
my judgement would suggest to be necessary to better the sanitary of
safety conditions in the mines.
Quite a majority of the coal mines in this District are equipped with
electricity or some other mechanical method of cutting, handling and
hauling the coal. We have therefore all the dangers incident to coal min-
ing to contend with. However, in the prevention of accidents, the mat-
ters which give us most concern are, fine dry coal dust, marsh gas, and
32 Axxuai. Report of [W. Va.
the dangerous character of the roof over the Pittsburg and Redstone
seanu. We have successfully prevented accidents from dust during the
last year bv the liberal use of water and by adopting (as per your sugges-
tion"*, one of the permissible explosives for exclusive use in all dry mines
and. dry sections of mines. We also flatter ourselves that we have pre-
vented accidents from gas by strict observance of the precautions reported
in letter of transmissol last year. And last but not least in this category,
I desire to give great credit to the operators and mine officials of this Dis-
trict for adopting special rules governing the timbering of working
places, and for thtir rigid insistence that the employees comply therewith.
These rules were prepared and adopted for the purpose of reducing to a
minimum Uie accidents caused by falls of roof which heretofore have been
a very prolific source of fatal accidents.
Th:s Mining District, as before stated in this letter, being one of the
important oil and gas fields of the State, and all the coal measures under-
lying the same are being penetrated by oil and gas wells, I desire to
reiterate the recommendations made wi last year's report that it is of
vital importance to the coal mining interests that a Law prescribing con-
ditions for the protection of mine workings and coal properties be enacted
at no later date than the coming session of the Legislature. This Law,
as stated in former report, should be so framed that it will not be inimical
to either interest if possible to do so.
The inside developments in quite a number of the mines of this Dis-
trict are vory large, as they have been in operation for several years, and
it requires from two to four days to make a satisfactory inspection. For
this reason, together with the number of mines in this District, and the
other duties imposed by Law cm the Inspector, it is physically impossible
to comply with Section 2 of the State Mine Law, as to visiting "each mine
in his District at least once every three months and oftener if called upon
in writing by ten men," etc.
Nearly all of the Mine Foreman in charge of mines ira this District have
successfully passed the examination and hold certificates of competency
signed by yourself, as recommended by the Board of Examiners. How-
ever, all those who have not yet taken the examination have told me
personally that they would present themselvs before the Board for ex-
amination when opportunity again afforded. The good results which you
have accomplished by the inauguration of a system of inquiry by Board
of Eximinor.- as to the competency of those who have in their charge the
lives of all the employees who are working under their supervision, in
addition to the valuable property of the operators, is very apparent in this
District, not only by the reduction of the number of accidents in the
State, as ably set forth in a paper by your Assistant, Mr. Connor, and
read before the Inspector's meeting in the City of Chicago, but the prog
ress of this movement is marked by a persistent study of a more scien-
tific method of mining coal with a view of the ultimate recovery of the
coal as well as improved sanitary and safety conditions in the mines.
By reason of a large official correspondence, in addition to the reports
required by Law, the clerical duties in connection with the office of Dis-
1910] Department or Mines. 33
trict Inspector in this District, interferes greatly with his efficiency as an
Inspector and I am of the opinion that good results would he obtained if.
bettor facilities were afforded by Law to all the District Inspectors for
proper care of their maps, records and correspondence, as they are very
important in connection with the work of an Inspector.
All the new openings made in the District during the past year, as well
as all substantial improvements made at the different mines, you will find
given in detail under the head of "The condition of the mines in the 2nd
District'', except numerous new miners' houses which have been con-
structed at different mines in the District.
All the mines in the 2nd District are complying with that feature of the
State Mine Law which requires the ventilating currents to be split, where
the number of underground employees exceed sixty. This is accomplished
by means of over-casts that are constructed, in most cases of concrete or
brick, and for this reason no specific mention will be made in the de-
scriptive matter given under the head of "The condition of the mines in
the 2nd District".
Reports of all the official visits which I have made during the past year
as well as all accidents which have happened at the mines in this Dis-
trict, havf> been forwarded to your office.
In concluding this letter I desire to express my full appreciation to the
miners, mine officials and mine operators for their prompt compliance
with suggestions and recommendations which I have made during the past
year, and wish for them a prosperous future.
I also desire to thank you for the kind treatment and for the many
courtesies which I have received at your hand, and for prompt advice as-
sistance rendered.
Very truly,
Frank E. Parsons,
Inspector Second District.

No. 201. Consolidation No. 11 Mine. — Pittsburg Seam Drift. This
mine is located 12 miles North of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the M. R.
Division of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the triple entry
system and the ventilating current is produced by a 20 foot Capell
fan witn direct steam connection. The ventilating current is con-
ducted to the working faces by means of concrete, brick and wooden
stoppings and is good throughout the development. Small quantities
of explosive gas liberates at some of the working faces which is being
well cared for by sufficient ventilation. The roof is of dangerous
character and requires careful timbering. The water is handled by
pumps of w,hJoh there is quite a number on the inside, as the drainage
is made very difficult by reason of local conditions. No dust is found
of dangerous character in this mine. The coal is undercut by both
picks and electric machines of the chain type. It is gathered to the
side tracks on the inside by mules and horses, hauled to the junction
by electric motors and from thence to the tipple by endless rope with
grip cars. State Mine Laws are being well observed. With the
present equipment and with a full force of men, the mine would bo
capable of producing 2 500 tons daily, as this is a very large develop-
ment and only a small portion producing coal at this time.

mine is located 12 miles North of Clarksburg, . W. Va.. on
a branch off of the West Virginia Short Line Division of the
of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry
system and the ventilating current, is produced by a 7 foot Stine fan with
electric connections. It is conducted to the working faces by concrete and
wooden stoppings and is ample to fully comply with the State Mine Laws.
Small quantities of gas have been detected during the past year liberat-
ing at the faces in advanced workings which was well cared for by suffi-
cient ventilation. Some sections of the mine require attention as to wet-
ting the dust, which has been looked ofter carefully by the management.
The roof is unusually bad and requires a very large quantity of timber
along the important haulways and in the working places to prevent acci-
dents. The drainage is good in all the working sections of the mine. The
coal is undercut by electric chain machines and by picks. It is gathered
and hauled to the tipple by mules and horses where it is dumped into the
railroad cars. State Mine Laws are well observed. It all the present de-
velopment was in good condition to p roduce coal, the capacity of this
mine with a full force of men would probably reach 1,600 tons daily.

opened up on the double entry system and the ventilation which
is produced by a 16 foot fan with direct steam connections is con-
ducted to the working faces by means of concrete, brick and substantial
wooden stoppings and has always been found ample to fully comply with

operation for many years. The roof is better than the average which over-
lir-s the Pittsburg seam in this Region. Yet it requires careful timbering,
which it was receiving on dates of visits during the past year. The drain-
age is good, the water all being handled by pumps electrcally driven, of
which there is several of them located throughout the development which
throws the water to a large sump which is centrally located. From there
it is thrown to the surface by two large centrifugal pumps electrically

iip on the tripL entry system and the ventilation which is pro-
duced by a 12 foot curved blade fan with electric connections, has always
been found ample to fully comply with the State Mine Law, as it is con-
ducted to the working faces by concrete and wooden stoppings. The roof
is of the usual dangerous character which overlies the Pittsburg seam of
coal and requires careful attention as to timbering to prevent accidents.
The drainage has been good during the past year and formerly was a little
difficult, but by reason of cutting a connection with Pinnickinnick mine
which, drains a portion of this mine, they have greatly mproved the drain-
age. No gas lias been detected in the mine during the past year and no
dust of any consequence. The coal is undercut by picks and by machines

This mine was located, opened up and operated as described in last
years' report. It has recently been worked to abandonment. How-
ever, the operating Company at this time are engaged in making
and perfecting plans for a ney opening on this property and I am
informed by their officials that before the end of the coming year a
new up-to-date, well equipped mine will be in operation on this prop-

Drift. This mine is located 18 miles North of Clarksburg, W. Va.,
on a branch off of the M. R. Division of the B. & O. Railroad. This
mine is opened up on the triple entry system and in addition to this,
it has two other opening to the outside. All these openings will be
intersected on the interior. This is a new mine which has been
opened during the past year and when all the equipments are in-
stalled and put in operation, will be one of the most up-to-date mines
owned and operated by the above Company in this District. It will
be eQuipped with the latest electrical appliances used in connection with
coal mining. At the present time the Company is engaged in con-
struction work as well as mining and shipping coal by means of tem-
porary appliances. The ventilating currents are produced at the
present time by two 7 foot disc fans with electric connections, which
will later be replaced with a fan of suitable dimensions to properly
ventilate the future developments. The coal is undercut by electric
machines of the chain type, gatherd and hauled to the side tracks on
the interior by mules and horses and from there it is hauled to the
temporary tipple by electric motors. The roof is of the usual char-

This mme is located 6% miles North of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the M. R.
Division of the B. & O. Railroad It is opened up on the double entry
system and the ventilating current is produced by a 7 foot disc fan
with electric connections. This current is conducted to the working
faces by means of concrete and wooden stoppings and has always been
found ample to fully comply with the Law, as only a portion of the
developed territory has been working the past year. Should the
entire development, which is very large, be working, tbe fan would
be inadequate to properly ventilate the same. The roof requires very
careful attention as 'to timbering, as it is of dangerous character. The
drainage in th,^ working sections of the mine is good and all the
water is handled by pumps driven by electricity. No gas detected
during the past year and no dust of dangerous character yet somei
sections are inclined to be dry and require some attention as to wet-
ting. The Mine Laws are being well o'bserved. With a full force

40 Annual Report of [W. Va.
Some gas liberates in small quantities in sections of this mine but
on dates of visits by the Inspector it was being well cared for by suf-
ficient ventilation. The roof is of usual dangerous character which is
found overlying the Pittsburg Seam but strict attention was being
paid to the timbering which made it comparatively safe. The water
is handled principally by pumps and ditches, which makes the drain-
age, as well as the ventilation, good. The coal is undercut and
hauled by electricity with the exception of its being gathered to the
side tracks by mules and horses. The dry sections of the mine were
being cared for by the liberal use of water on dates of visits by the
Inspector. I would judge the capacity of this mine, with a full force
of men, to be from 1200 to 1500 tons daily. The State Mine Laws
are being well observed at this plant.

on a brai'.choff of the M. K. Division of the B. & O. Railroad.
It is opened upon the double entry system and the ventilation is
produced by a seven-foot disc fan with electric connections. The
ventilating current, is conducted to the working faces by means of wood-
en •stoppings which is sufficient to make it fully comply with the State
Iline Law, yet the development is large and if concrete was used for
stopping the ventilation would be much better in the extreme workings
of the mine. The roof in some sections of this mine is better than the ave-
rage which overlies the Pittsburg coal. In other sections it is very bad,
but is well cared for as to timbering. No gas has been found in the
mine during the pastyear and the dry sections were being well looked
after on dates of visit. The drainage is good in all the working places.
The water is handled by pumps in the important sections of the mine.
The remaining sections have natural drainage. The coal is undercut by
picks and by machines of the electric chain type. It is gathered and
hauled to the side tracks by mules and horses and from there to the tip-

ventilating current produced by a 16 foot fan with direct steam con-
nections. It is conducted to the working faces by means of concrete
and wooden stoppings and is ample to fully comply with the State
Mine Laws. Small quantities of Marsh gas have heretofore been de-
tected liberating at the advanced working faces, which were being
well cared for by sufficient ventilation. The roof is unusually bad,
requiring the most careful attention as to timbering to prevent acci-
dents and along all the important haulways it requires an unusual1
large quantity of timber to support the roof, which is of such a charac-
ter that ii disintegrates when exposed to the air and falls to an
unusual height if not timbered promptly. No dust found in the mine
during the past year. Drainage is good in most working sections.
However, in one important working section of the mine, the drain-
age is difficult. The coal is undercut by electric machines of the
chain type and by picks. It is gathered by mules and horses to the
junction on the inside where it is lowered to the tillpe by endless rope
and hand grips and dumped into the railroad cars. State Mine Laws
are being well observed. On account of the unusual character of the
roof, and a large portion of the development bing in bad condition,
the capacity of the mine is hard to estimate, but if all the development

conducted to the working faces by means of wooden stoppings prin-
cipally. However, some concrete stoppings are found on the inside.
The water is handled by pumps and ditches and the drainage in some
parts of the mine has been very difficult on account of abnormal local
dips for this seam of coal. The coal is undercut by electricity prin-
cipally. It is also hauled by electric motor to the mouth of the drift
where it is hoisted to the tipple by means of a sprocket chain car
hoist and is dumped into the Railroad cars. No gas of any conse-
quence ha,s ever been discovered. However, slight traces have been
discerned by the Inspector at the faces in some of the advanced work-

No dust of dangerous character has been found in this mine during
the past year. The timbering is as good as the average and the
roof is of the usual character which overlies the Pittsburg seam and is

located 17% miles North of Clarksburg, W .Va., cwi a branch off of the M.
R Division of the B. & O. It is opened upon the triple entry system.
The ventiloting current at this time is produced by a small disc fan with
direct steam connection. It is conducted to the working faces by means of
wcoden stoppings, and is considered inadequate by the Inspector to insure
constant sanitary conditions at the extreme interrior working faces. Some
time ago the Company purchased a fan of suitable size and of proper de-
sign to ventilate this mine amply, but for some reason they have bee-n
very slow about the installation of the fon, which has caused the Inspector
52 Annual Rkport of [W. Va.
considerable concern and impresses him that the managing officials are
not as resourceful as they should he. The reason so far assigned, for this
delay, is that they have been unable to procure the class of laborers that
Uiey desiro to do tills work. The Inspector at this time, is personally in-
sisting on the immediate installation of the fan, and if it is not done in
the very rear future, he will be compelled to remove the men from all
the sections of the mine that are not properly and sufficiently ventilated.
A poo! of water was found standing along the Main haulwiay on date of
last visit, which should be removed. The roof is of the usual character
and wen timbered. No gas has ever been found in this mine. The coal
is undercut by compressed air machines of the puncher type and is hauled
to the tipple by mules and horses. Grades are very irregular and not at
all convenient for this system of haulage as to economy. The State Mine
Laws other than above mentioned are observed at .this mine. The daily
output of this mine is hard to estimate on account of the mine being new
and adding continually to the number of working places, but I would
judge that, the daily output would reach 650 tons with a full force of men

of the punchei type and is hauled to the tipple by mules and horses. The
water is handled by apump. The opening is not located where it should
be in order to moke conditions good as to drainage and economical haul-
age. The roof is of the usual character overlying the Pittsburg seam and
well timbered. No gas has ever been found in this mine and no dust. The
ventilation is not of the best on account of the primitive method of ven-
tilating. The in; i ector has suggested to the management that they hurry
the installation of the new fan at No. 1 mini and remove the present small
c'i^y fan /rem No. 1 to this mine. If this £' j.gestion be carried out, the

daily output of this mine cannot bt well estimated for the reason of it be-
ing a new development which should increase, but by reason of the un-
usual grades to contend with on the inside it will necessarily always be
small and expensive. I would judge however, that with a full force of men
and a sufficient number of drivers and live stock, that they should be able
to produce 200 tons daily.

being well looked after on dates of visits. The roof along some of the
important haulways in this mine on dates of last visit was very bad and
required very careful attention as to timbering to prevent accidents. The
drainage in most of the working places was good. In some working
places however, they were encountering some difficulties to properly drain.
The coal is undercut by picks and by machines of the electric chain type.
The State Mine Laws are being observed. With the present development
and equipment and a full force of men this mine is capable of producing
700 tons daily. The voltage on electric wires in this mine being 500, is
considered in excess of the requirements and the danger of men and
animals coming in contact with these electric wires have been pointed
out to the management by the Inspector.

No. 230. Snake Hill Mine. — Pittsburg Seam — Drift. This mine is
located one mile east of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg
Branch of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry
system and the ventilation which is produced in the larger portion
of the mine by natural current, is ample to fully comply with the
Mine Law. The remaining section, which is ventilated by means of
a fire basket and stack was vitiated to some extent with the smoke
of the explosives used. A plan was talked over and agreed upon with
the Mine Foreman whereby this condition can be eliminated. Near
the face of the advanced workings some dust was found which the
Mine Foreman agreed to keep thoroughly wet at all times during the
operation of the mine. No gas found in the mine during the past
year. The roof is of the usual dangerous character which overlies the
Pittsburg coal, which was well timbered. The coal is undercut by
picks and hauled to the tipple by means of horses and mules. The
drainage in most working sections is good. In some working places,

mine is located about one mile East of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the
Grasselli Branch off of the Parkersburg Branch of the B. & O. Railroad.
It is opened up on the double entry system. The ventilation, -which)
is produced in the major portion of the mine by furnace, is not what it
should be in the best sanitary condition. The remaining portion,
which is ventilated naturally, has always been found in very good con-
dition as to ventilation. However, the ventilation throughout is suf-
ficient to comply with the State Mine Laws, The roof is of the usual
character which overlies the Pittsburg coal and requires careful tinv-
bering. No gas has ever been detected in the mine. The attention
of the management has been called to dry sections, which require care-
ful attention as to wetting. The drainage in a portion of the mtine
is very good and in the remaining portion of the mine it is very bad
at the present time. A plan to drain this section of the mine is now
in progress and when completed, I think the drainage will be good
throughout. The coal is undercut by picks and hauled to the head of
the plane by mules and horses, where it is lowered by traction to the
tipple and dumped into the railroad cars. State Mine Laws are being
observed with the exception of a few matters of minor importance, to
which the attention of the management was called by the Inspector.

and the ventilation is produced by two furnaces and stacks. It has
been found ample to comply with the Law, yet for future developments,
it will be necessary at a very early date to install a fan. This matter
Annual Report of [W. Va.
has been talked over and agreed upon by the Inspector and mine
officials. The roof is of the usual character which overlies the Pitts-
burg seam and requires careful timbering to insure safety. Some
sections of the mine are inclined to be dry and dusty and require at-
tention as to wetting the dust. The drainage is good in most work-
ing sections. A. plan is now on foot to cut to the outside a heading
for the purpose of drainage. Traces of gas have been discovered
liberating at some of the advanced working faces. This, however, is
in very small quantities and is being closely watched, and sufficient
ventilation is maintained in these places. The coal is undercut by
machines cf the chain type and is gathered and hauled to the tipple by
mnles and horses. This Company has just completed a new and up-
to-date tipple with retard hoist, electrically driven, which I understand
is in successful operation, but have not been on the ground myself
since its completion. The voltage in the mine being 500, is considered
in excess of the requirements by tbe Inspector and the management has
been rigorously cautioned as to the dangers resulting from men or

No. 23 3. Erie Mine. — Pittsburg Seam — Drift. This mine is located
six miles north of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the West Virginia Short Line
Division of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double
entry system and the ventilation is produced by a 12 -foot fan with
direct steam connections. The current is conducted to the working
faces by means of concrete and wooden stoppings and it has always
been ample to comply with the State Mine Law, yet in some important
working sections of the mine the ventilating current is somewhat
contaminated by the smoke from the explosives. Recommendations
were made to the management and if carried out as directed, this con-
dition will be eliminated. No gas has been found in this mine during
the past y^ar and no dust of any consequence. Some difficulty is ex-
perienced in some sections of the mine in properly draining the same.
This, however, is not located in the working places but along import-
ant haulways. The roof is of the usual dangerous character and re-
quires care as to timbering, which was receiving the proper attention.
The coal is undercut by machines of both types, compressed air
punchers and electric chain, and some pillar work is done hy picks.

No. 224. Delta Mine— Pittsburg Seam — Slope. This mine is located 7
miles West of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg Branch of the B.
& O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry system and at the
present time the ventilating current is produced by a centrifugal fan of
small dimensions, but of high efficiency, it being a high speed fan, the
latest designed by J. R. Robinson. The current is conducted to the work-
ing faces by means of wooden stoppings and fully complies with the State
Mine Laws. The roof requires very careful attention as to timbering.
Traces of gas have been discovered at some of the advanced working
faces but the quantity was so small as to be of no importance. No dust
found in the mine. The water is handled exclusively by a pump and the
working places are kept in good condition as to drainage. The coal is
undercut by compressed air machines of the puncher type. It is hauled
to the temporary tipple, which they are now usimg, by means of a head
rope where it is dumped into railroad cars. Plans are made and the con-
struction work is under headway for a permanent tipple. The compressed
air used in cutting the coal is purchased from the Phoenix Mine, but later
ou an installation of this character will be made on the ground by this
Company. State Mine Laws at this time are being observed. With a full
force of men and with the present development and equipment, this mine
?s capable of producing 150 tons daily, and will increase as inside develop-
ment is made.

No. 23 5. Byron Mine No.2. — Pittsburg Seam.— Drift. — This mine is
located about 8 miles South of Clarksburg, W. Va,, on the W. Va., & P.
Division of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the triple entry
system and the ventilating current is produced by a 12 foot fan with
direct steam connection. The full efficiency of this fan is not obtained
by reason of improper construction of the ventilating current. How-
ever, it is sufficient to fully comply with the State Mine Laws. Small
quantities of gas have been detected liberating at somee of the advanced
working faces, whieeh was being cared for by sufficient ventilation.
some dry sections require attention as to wetting the dust. The roof
is very bad where all the coal is removed and requires very careful at-
tention as to timbering. The drainage has been greatly improved dur-
ing the past year and is found good in the working sections of the mine.
The coal is undercut by both types of machines — compressed air punch-
ers and electric chain. It is gathered and hauled to the side tracks
on the interior by mules and horses and from there to the tipple by
electric motor where it is dumped into railroad cars. State Mine Laws
are being well observed. With a full force of men and with the present

B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry system anl the
ventilating current is produced by a 7 foot Stine fan with steam con-
nection. It is connected underground with that of No. 2 mine and will
ultimately be connected with No. 1 mine. When these connections are
completed and the necessary changes and alterations of the tracks, etc.,
are made, the entire output of No. 1 and No. 2 mines will be hauled
via this opening to the tipple. Some gas liberates at the working faces
which is being cared for by sufficient ventilation. No dust of dangerous
character found on date of visit. The roof is of the usual character and
requires careful timbering. This opening is located in such a position
that it drains itself naturally together with the other two mines with
which it will be connected. The# coal will be undercut by machines of
both types, compressed air punchers and electric chain, and also by
picks. State Mine Laws are being observed. The output of this mine
has already been estimated with that of No. 2.

of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened .up on the double entry system
and the ventilation is produced by furnace and stack, which has been
sufficient to comply with the State Mine Law. Very slight traces of
gas have been detected liberating at one of the extreme working faces
during the past year, but sufficient air was maintained to make it harm-
less. This same section of the mine was inclined to be dry and dusty.
Recommendations were made to the management in reference to this
dust, which have been complied with. The roof is of the usual char-
acter and wiell timbered. The drainage is good in the important work-
ings, with the exception of two or three places. The coal is undercut
by electric machines of the chain type. It is hauled to the junction by
mules and horses and from there it is hauled by head rope to the
tipple, where it is dumped into railroad cars. The voltage on electric
wires in this mine' being 500, is considered by the Inspector in excess of
the requirements and therefore dangerous. However, nearly all of the
electric wires on the inside are insulated. The management was very
rigorously cautioned by the Inspector as to the danger of mien and ani-
mals coming in contact with these wires. It was a question in the
Inspector's mind whether the spirit of the Law was being complied with
as to the 2nd opening until recently, when they made an additional
opening to the outside, which makes it fully comply. In all otbier
matters of importance, the mine fully complies with the State Laws.

system. The ventilating current is produced by a furnace and conducted
to the working faces by wooden stoppings. While the quantity is suffi-
cient to comply with the Law, yet in sections the current is vitiated by
the gases from the explosives used by reason of insufficient velocity. The
present operating Company and the Inspector agreed upon cutting a
place to the outside off of the Main Heading at the extreme interior to be

used as an inlet for air. This they thought by reason of the difference
in elevation, etc., would make the ventilation good. On its completion,
if it does not remedy the conditions, the Company agrees to purchase and

the ventilation complies with the State Mine Law. The roof is unusually
bad and on date of last visit considerable timbering was 'necessary along
the important haulways to place the mine in a proper safety condition.
Drainage was also bad along important haulways on account of falls of
slate, etc., bewig thrown off of the track along the ribs and thus being
an impediment to the proper drainage of the roadways. No. gas or dust
has been found during the past year in the mine. The coal is undercut by

been detected liberating in a place or two in the advanced workings.
Some sections of the mine are inclined to be very dry and dusty in the

coal is maintained throughout the development where possible to do so,
for the reason that in places where all the coal has been removed the
overlying strata disintergrates badly and requires an unusual amount of
timber to insure safety. Timbering in working places is well looked af-
ter. The water is handled exclusively by pumps and some difficulty was
encountered in properly handling the water during the past year. The
coal is undercut by picks, gathered and hauled to the junction on the in-

No. 245. Fairmore Mine — Pittsburg Seam — Drift-Incline Plane. — This
mine is located 2 miles west of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg
Branch of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry sys-
tem. The ventilating currents are produced by two furnaces and one
12 foot fan propelled by steam engine with belt connection. The fan at
its present location ventilated only a small portion of the working sec-
tions of the mine. The furnaces are located in such a position that they
are the main agents used to ventilate the working sections of the mine.
This is an old mine which has been in operation for many years and at
the present time it is in such a condition in the larger portion of the
development as to make it impossible to mine the coal systematically
and to conduct the ventilating currents to the working faces in the man-
ner most desirable. However, the management maintains sufficient ven-
tilation at the faces to comply with the State Mine Laws. The roof is
unusually bad in some sections and requires very careful attention as
to timbering, while in other sections the roof is very good for the Pitts-
burg seam. The drainage in some portions of the workings is very bad
while in other portions it is good. The water is handled by a siphon in
some sections of the mine. No gas has been found during the past year
and no dust of any consequence. This mine has been closed down for
the major part of the year and has just recently resumed operations.
The coal is undercut by picks and hauled to the outside by mules where
it is gathered by locomotive and hauled to the head of the engine plane.
From here it is lowered to the tipple by means of head and tail rope.
State Mine Laws are being observed. With a full force of men and with
the present development and equipment, this mine is capable of produc-
ing 500 tons daily.

of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry system and
the ventilating current is produced by a 16 foot centrifugal fan with direct
steam connection. It is conducted to the working faces by means of sub-
stantial wooden stoppings and is ample to comply with the State Mine
Law. The roof is of the usual dangerous character which overlies the
Pittsburg coal and is well timbered throughout the development. No
gas has been detected in the workings during the past year and no dust
of any consequence. The drainage is difficult in some sections of the
mine but has been greatly improved during the past year. The ventila-
tion also has been improved by remodeling the fan house as per recom-
mendations. The coal was undercut formerly by compressed air ma-
chines of the puncher type, but recently the compressor has been re-
moved and at this time the undercutting is done exclusively by picks. It
is gathered to the side tracks by single mules. From there it is hauled
to the drift mouth by spike and string team|s from which place it is
lowered down the incline by retard driven by steam, to the tipple, where
it is dumped into the railroad cars. State Mine Laws are being well ob-
served. With a full force of men and with the present development and
equipment, this mine is capable of producing 700 tons daily.

No. 218. Randolph Mine — Pittsburg Seam — Drift. — This mine is lo-
cated 6 miles West of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg Branch of
the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the triple entry system and the
ventilation is produced by a 15 foot curved blade fan with direct steam
connection. The ventilating current is conducted to the working faces
by means of wooden stoppings and is ample to fully comply with the
State Mine Law. An aditional opening to the outside from the interior
of the mine has been made during the past year. This opening is tim-
bered and maintained for ingress and egress as well as an inlet for the
ventilating current. The roof is very bad in places where the overlying
66 Annual Report of fW. Va.
strata is exposed to the air but timbering is carefully looked after along
the haulways as well as in the working places. No gas found during the
past year. Some sections are inclined to be dry and dusty, but are being
carefully looked after by the management. The coal at this time is being
undercut by electric machine. They are also installing compressed air and
when this installation is completed the coal will be undercut in sections
of the mine by compressed air punchers. The drainage is bad in some
sections. The Company at this time is cutting a drain-way heading to
the outside which wte hope when completed will very greatly eliminate
the cost and difficulties of the drainage problem. State Mine Laws are
being well observed. With a full force of men and with the present de-
velopment and equipment, this mine is capable of producing 1,500 tons
daily.

No. 248. New Chieftain Mine — Pittsburg Seam — Drift. — This mine is
located 6 miles West of. Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg Branch
of the B. & O. Railroad. It has been reopened during the past year on the
double entry system a few hundred feet West of the former opening. The
ventilation is produced by a centrifugal fan with direct steam connection,
which is ample at present working faces to fully comply with the State
Mine Law. The new opening has greatly benefitted the drainage in the
important working section of the mine. The roof is very bad and timber-
ing is carefully looked after. No explosive gas has been detected during
the past year. Quite a quantity of Carbon Dioxide was found in the in-
terior section of the mine but does not interfere with the sanitary ven-
tilation of the present working section. The coal is undercut by electric
machines. It is hauled to the junction by mules and horses, from there
to the tipple with the same electric motor which hauls the output of the
Randolph mine and is dumped into the railroad cars in connection with
the output of the Randolph mine. As the tipple is of the twin type which
spans the ravine that separates the Randolph mine from this one. State
Mine Laws are being observed. With the present equipment and devel-
opment and with a full force of men, this mine is capable of producing
300 tons daily.

No. 250. O'Gara Mine — Pittsburg Seam — Slope. — This mine is located
7 1-2 miles West of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg Branch of
the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry system and
the ventilating current is produced by a high speed centrifugal fam driven
by a steam engine with belt connection, which is ample to fully comply
with the State Mine Law as to ventilation. Some gas liberates at the ad-
vanced working faces but is being well cared for by sufficient ventilation.
The dust requires some attention as to wetttog in some of the important
working sections of the mine. Drainage is bad along some of the haul-
ways, the water being cared for exclusively by pumps and when they are
out of order these haulways flood. This has happened entirely too often
during the past year. The roof is unusually bad but is well timbered in
all the working places. However, along the important haulways some
timbering is 'needed very badly, which the Superintendent assured me
would be attended to as soon as timber of the proper dimensions could
be obtained. The coal is undercut by compressed air machines of the
puncher type. It is hauled to the foot of the slope by mules and horses,

No. 251. Phoneix Mine — Pittsburg Seam, — Slope. — This mine is located
7 1-2 miles West of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the Parkersburg Branch of the
B. & 0. Railroad. It is opened upon the double entry system and the ven-
tilating current is produced by a 12 foot Charleston fan of the disc type,
propelled by a steam engine with belt connection. This fan would be en-
tirely inadequate to properly ventilate the mine were all the develop-
ed sections of the mine in condition and in operation. However, for the
sections which are in operation, the ventilating current is sufficient. Some
gas liberates at the advanced working sections, which is being cared for
by sufficient ventilation. The roof is unusually bad and on dates of last
visit (while the mine was in operation) the timbering along important
haulways needed immediate attention to insure safety. The drainage al-
so was in very bad condition, the water being handled by pumps. The
coal is undercut by compressed air machines of the puncber type. It is
hauled to the side track at the foot of the slope by mules and horses,
hoisted to the tipple by head rope where it is dumped into the railroad
cars. This mine has operated but very little durning the past year and
the 2nd opening wias not in condition to comply with the law. The at-
tention of the management was called to this matter and a few days after
this visit was made, the mine was closed down and advertised for sale,
which sale was made on July 25th, 1910. By reason of the physical condi-
tion of the mine on the inside, the capacity of this mine is hard to es-
timate, but with the present development properly cleaned, drained and
timbered, and with adequate equipment, this mine is capable of produc-
ing 600 tons daily, but at the present time the output would be very much
smaller.

the State Mine Law. The roof in some sections of this mine on date of
last visit, needed immediate attention as to timbering. The drainage has
been greatly benefited during the past year by reason of a place being cut
to the outside from the interior and ditching the water to this place. No
gas has been found in the mine during the past year. The dust in some
sections of the mine requires attention as to wetting to insure safety.
During the past year an endless rope system of haulage has been in-
stalled and at this time is in operation. The coal is undercut by com-
pressed air machines of the puncher type and by picks. It is gathered
and hauled to the rope by mules and horses and from there to the drift
mouth by rope and lowered by traction to the tipple where it is dumped

and the ventilating current is produced naturally as the important head-
rags are driven through the hill with openings to the outside at both ex-
tremes, and by reason of the character of the coal being such that no ex-
plosives are used on the inside in mining the same. The ventilation is
good. The character of the roof is unusually dangerous and requires
very careful attention as to timbering. The drainage is natural and very
bad, caused by neglect of keeping ditches cleaned and in proper condi-
tion. No gas detected in the mine during the past year. No dust of
dangerous character found. Coal is undercut and taken down by picks
exclusively. It is gathered and hauled to the head of plane at drift mouth
by mules and horses where it is lowered by traction to the tipple and
dumped into railroad cars. State Mine Laws are being observed in all

tem and the ventilating current is produced by a furnace and on date of
last visit was not considered of sufficient quantity to insure good sani-
tary conditions. A fan of sufficient size and suitable design to properly
ventilate the mine was recommended and I am advised that these recom-
mendations will be complied with. The roof requires careful attention
as to timbering in places along the haulways. However, in most working
places the roof is of good character. Drainage is good except local dips.
No dust of dangerous character found and no gas detected. The coal is
undercut by electric machines of the chain type. It is hauled to the side
tracks on the inside of the mine by mules and horses and from there it
is hauled to the head of the plane, which is located some distance from
the drift mouth, by electric motor. From there it is lowered by traction
plane to the tipple where it is dumped into railroad cars. With the ex-
ception of matters reported to you on monthly blanks, State Mine Laws
are being observed. By reason of the numerous clay veins encountered,
it is impossible to give an estimate as to the daily output of coal.

Fork River. It is opened up on the double entry system and the coal is
being cut and hauled by electric power from the drift across the River,
■which is spanned bv a :+eel viaduct, to the tipple where it is dumped in-
to Railroad cars on the East side of the River. The mine is in Harrison
County while the tipple, side tracks, viaduct, etc., are all located in Mar-
ion County. The stream at whose mouth this mine is located (Bingamon
Creek) being the County line. This mine is equipped with the latest
electrical appliances for hauling and cutting coal. Some gas is found at
face of the advanced working places, but at the present time it is being
well taken care of by sufficient air. The ventilating current is produced
by a recently installed electric fan of the Clifford type of large dimen-
sions, and is conducted to the working places by means of concrete and
wooden stoppings. This mine during the past year has caused the In-
spector some concern as to its condition and caused him to issue very rig-
orous instructions, but at this time it is in a very satisfactory condition.
Permissible explosives, are used exclusively. Dry sections are thoroughly
wetted and working places properly timbered. The capacity of this mine
is hard to estimate as it increases with the development, being a new
mine. The State Mine Law at this time so far as I know, is fully comr
plied with.

tilating current for the most part of the year was produced naturally,
and was not considered sufficient to comply with the requirements of the
State Mine Law. Recently a fan of the disc type with steam connections
has been installed, which produces a ventilating current that, when prop-
erly distributed, will fully comply with the State Mine Law. The propei
distribution of this air wias talked over and agreed upon with the manage-
ment by the Inspector on date of last visit. This is a new operation
which has been opened up during the past year and the roof is of a
dangerous character, requiring careful timbering. The drainage former-
ly was very bad, but has been improved recently. No gas or dust of
dangerous character found in the mine during the past year. The coal
is undercut by picks and hauled to the outside by horses and mules. From
there it is hauled to the tipple by means of head and tail rope, where it
is dumped into railroad cars. State Mine Laws at this time are being

located 15 1-2 miles South of Clarksburg, W. Va., on the W. Va. & P. Di-
vision of the B. & O. Railroad. It is opened up on the double entry sys-
tem and the ventilating current on date of visit was produced naturally,
but the operating Company was preparing to build a furnace to ventilate
the mine workings. The roof, except where clay veins are encountered,
is very good. These clay veins are very numerous and in places where
they are encountered, the roof is very bad and requires careful timbering.
The drainage was very good on date of visit. No gas detected during the
past year and no dust that would be considered dangerous was found.
This seam of coal however, is inclined to be dry and dusty in places, and
instructions were given to the management in case it should become dry
and dusty, as to properly wetting the same. The coal is undercut by
picks, hauled to the head of the plane by horses and mules, where it is
lowered by traction to the tipple and dumped into railroad cars. State
Mine Laws are being observed. On account of the abnormal conditions,
such as clay veins, etc., it is impossible to accurately estimate the daily
output. The mine however, I think with the present development and with
a full force of men, would be able to produce 150 tons daily. This is a
mew mine that has been opened during the past year and the capacity
should increase as inside development is made.

try system and the ventilating current is produced by a furnace. This
current was not considered adequate to insure the best sanitary conditions
at all times, as it varied greatly with the changing temperatures and
wind pressures on the outside. The Superintendent gave me his assur-
ance that in case conditions on the inside would justify the continued
operation of the mine, that a fan would be purchased and installed, as
soon as this matter was determined. Numerous clay veins are encoun-
tered, which are detrimental to the successful operation of the mine
from a financial standpoint to the operators. For this reason I have been
lenient on insisting that the fan be purchased and installed at once. The
roof is very bad along the haulways in places and requires very careful
timbering to insure safety. In the rooms and other working places, the

No. 265. Florence Mine — Masontown Seam(?) — Drift. — This mine is lo-
cated 3 miles West of Sago, W. Va., on the Coal & Coke Railroad. It is
opened up on the double entry system and the ventilating current is pro-
duced by furnace, which, when properly distributed, is ample to fully
comply with the State Mine Law. The roof is exceedingly good. Drain-
age is also good. No gas detected and no dust of any consequence. State
Mine Laws are being observed. The coal is undercut, by picks and
hauled to the platform by mules and horses where it is poured into the
railroad cars by means of drop bottom mine cars. With a full force of
men and with the present development and equipment, this mine is capa-
ble of producing 200 tons daily.

L.. D. Vaughn,
Inspector Third District
Office of the Third District Mine Inspector
Grafton, Taylor County, July 5th, 1910.
Hon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear Sir: —
I herewith respectfully submit to you my annual report as Inspector
of Mines of the Third District, for the year ending June 30th, 1910.
This District is composed of Barbour, Taylor, Preston and Monongalia
Counties. There are seventy-four openings in this District, eleven in
Monongalia; twenty-four in Preston; sixteen in Taylor and twenty-one in
Barbour.
Owing to the depression in the coal business in the last year only about
fifty-five of the mines in the District have been working steadily, and a
number of them have not worked for the last two years.
I am glad to say the condition of the mines in this District are much
better than they were on the first of August, 1909.
Ventilation, generally speaking, in this District is good. Drainage and
general safety is good, the mine managers and the operators (with a few
exceptions) show a willingness to adopt any suggestions or recommenda-
tions that I offer that will put their mines in a safe condition and es-
vi. Report of [\v. Va.
pecially as to taking care of the dust, which they regard as the most
dangerous factor they have to contend with. I always insist, that dry
places in the mines be kept thoroughly wet, and some of the Companies
have equipped for their use, electric pumps with hose and also rotary
sprays attached to water cars, so that they are able to keep dry places
thoroughly wet. I am very glad that I have no accidents, caused by ex-
plosions, to report in this District, however I have a few fatal accidents
from other causes. There have been fourteen fatal accidents and thirteen
of them were caused by carelessness. There have been a
number of non-fatal accidents, reports of which have been furnished your
office.
With a few exceptions the law has been fully complied with in this Dis-
trict.
I found it necessary to have some arrests made for the violation of the
oil regulation And one for having too much powder in the mine-
There have been three new operations started in this District during the
last year, all in Preston county and in the upper Freeport seam of coal.
Two at Howesville and one at Cascade.
I made one hundred and forty-two regular inspections between
August first 1909 to July First 1910, and thirty six special visits.
I favor a Law requiring Mine Foremen, Assistant Mine Foremen, and
Fire Bosses having Certificates.
There has been some improvement made in the District along the line
of ventilation. There have been four new fans installed in this District
since the first day of August 1909, and three new furnaces. One Fan at
Rosemont Coal Company; one at Irona Coal Company; one at Preston
Coal and Coke Company smA one at Grafton Coal and Coke Company. One
Furnace at Howesville; one at Smith Mines and one at Round Bottom.
I have also recommended two other fans in the District, one at Cen-
tury Coal and Coke Company, number two mine, and one at Howesville,
and the one at Howesville will be installed in a short time. The ventila-
tion in this District has been very much improved especially where the
new fans and furnaces have been installed.
I want to say during the Eleven Months of my connection with the De-
part in, nt of Mines of the State of West Virginia, that it has been very
pleasant, and I have tried to have the Mining Law complied with in the
Third District in every respect, and I want to thank Mr. John Laing and
his Assistant .Mr. Charles Connor, for the able manner in which they have
assisted me in having the Law complied with.
In conclusion I wish to say, with the exception of the few arrests men-
tioned, my relation with the miners and also the Operators and Mine
managers have been of the most pleasant character, and I wish to thank
them all for the kind courtesy shown me, since my first visit to their
mines.
Yours Very respectfully,
L. D. Vaughn,
Mine Inspector of Third District

MERIDEN COAL MINING COMPANY.
No. 301. Meriden Mines Nos. 1, 2 & 4- — Is located one mile North
of Philippi on the G. & B. R. R. They are all Drift openings operating on
the upper Freeport Seam on the double entry system. These openings are
all connected under ground except number five, which is opened in the
Mahoning Seami, and which has not been operated during the last year,
but the company is making preparation to start this mine. Nos 1, 2 and
4 mines are ventilated by a sixteen foot fan and the ventilation is good,
drainage and roof is good, the roof is a hard slate, the best in the Dis-
trict; these mines have been very dry and dusty, but they are well taken
care of, the headings are kept well watered, also the rooms, the rooms are
driven 30-feet wide and the bugdust and bone coal is placed in the center
of the rooms and is kept wet. The coal is undercut with electric chain
machine and is hauled to the tipple by an electric motor. There has been
some improvement made at this mine in the last year. There has been a
new tipple built and some changes made inside. They are prepared to
separate the lump coal from the slack and put on the market a first class
coal. They have several coke ovens, but have not had any of them in
blast for the last year or more. The underground conditions at this
place is fine, I think the best in this District. The outside equipment is
good. The law is complied with at this place.

TYGARTS RIVER COAL COMPANY.
No. 302. Arden Hine. — This mine is located eight miles north of Phil-
ippi on the G. & B. R. R. It is a drift opening operating the upper Free-
port seam on the double entry system. Ventilation is produced by a
twelve foot fan and is very good, drainage and roof is good, the mine is
very well looked after, the coal is undercut with an electric machine, and
80 Annual Report of [W. Va.
is hauled to the tipple by an electric motor. This mine is in a very good
shape; it gets a little dry and dusty in the winter mouths, but is is well
looked after and kept watered down. The law is complied with in all
respects.
CHARLES A. COOK, Superintendent. GEORGE GATTIAN,
Mine Foreman.
CONSOLIDATION COAL COMPANY.
No. 303. Cons. No. 37 Mine Nos. 1 and 2 — This mine is located five miles
North of Phillipi on a branch of the G. & B. R. R. It is a drift opening
operating in the Pittsburg seam, on the double entry system, the ventila-
tion is good and well distributed, it is produced by an eleven foot fan,
and in No. 2 by a seven foot fan, the ventilation in both of the mines is
very good, the drainage is good in both, the roof is fairly good in both
mines and is well taken care of. These mines give off a little firedamp,
there is a fire boss at both of these mines. They are looked after very
close, the timbering is good, some places in these mines where they meet
with clay veins the roof gets a little bad, then it requires very careful
timbering. The coal is undercut with the electric machines, shot fires
are employed and safety powder is used exclusively. The coal in each of
these mines is hauled by a electric motor, and all dumped over the same
tipple. The seccnd opening meets the requirements of the law. The law
is complied with in all respects.

LAUREL CREEK COAL COMPANY.
No. 304. Laurel Creek Mine. — This mine is located nine miles North of
Philippi on the G. & B. R. R. It is a drift opening operating the upper
Freeport seam on the double entry system, the ventilation is produced
by a fire basket and is not very good, roof and drainage is good, oil used
is good. On my first visit to this place there was a man killed and they
did not have any stretcher or blanket to carry the man out of the mine,
I recommended that they get stretchers and blankets, which they did at
once, the law has been complied with since that time. The coal is hauled
out of the mine by mules to the head of the incline and lowered down to
the tipple. This mine does not work very many men, it is all pillar work
and just about finished, and for this reason I never recommended a fan
for this place.

No. 305. Century No. 1 Mine. — Is located five miles from Lemley Junc-
tion on the Buckhannon Branch of the G. & B. R. R. It is a shaft open-
1910] Department of Mines. 81
ing operating in the Red Stone Seami. The ventilation is good and well
distributed, each heading getting fresh air from the fan, overcasts are
placed at each main heading and at each butt heading causing a low velo-
city but a good volume of air in the mine. This mine is aired by a Clif-
ford Fan 13 1-2 feet and is steam driven. There are four main splits in
the main current twelve or fifteen sub splits, each heading is aired sep-
arately, the stoppings on the main inlet are all built of concrete and in
good condition, the roof and the drainage is very good, the coal is under-
cut with an electric chain machine, is gathered by motors and hauled to
the bottom of the shaft, this mine liberates some explosive gas, but it is
carefully looked after, they have three fire bosses at this shaft and they
keep a very close watch on all places that give off any gas. This is one
of the best mines in the Third District and I consider them among the
best in the State, all of the officials from the Superintendent down to the
Fire Bosses hold a first class certificate granted by the State of West Vir-
ginia, and I feel safe in saying that this company would not have a man
in charge that could not pass an examination, and obtain a certificate
from the Board. This company has always seemed willing to do any and
all things that has been required of it by the State Mine Laws.

CENTURY COAL COMPANY OF WEST VIRGINIA. j
No. 305. Century No. 2 Mine. — Is located four miles from Lemley Junc-
tion on the branch of the Buckhannon R. R. It is a drift opening operat-
ing in the Red Stone Seam on the double entry system. The ventilation
is produced by a furnace, the results are not very good. I have recom-
mended a fan at this place and I have had the promise that the condi-
tions would be made better, the Company is driving a place through, from
the No. 1 mime to connect with No. 2 mine. Then they expect to air the
No. 2 mine with the No. 1 mine fan; this connection will not be made for
a year or more, they expect to ventilate this No. 2 mine with a furnace
until the connection is made. The Second opening meets all the require-
ments of the law. The drainage is good as they have made a connection
from the out side to a dip heading and ditched the water to the out side.
This is a pick mine and the coal is hauled to the out side by horses and
mules.

It is a drift opening in the Upper Freeport seam. The ventilation is by
a fan and it is very good, the drainage is good, roof is bad, the timber-
ing is good, this mine has been working about all the year but has not
worked a very large force of men. Has some very bad roof, and the tim-
ber has been set too close to the roadways, the rock and slate has been
placed too close too the tracks which makes it dangerous for the drivers
on the steep grade. I have recommended that the sides of the Roads be
cleaned up and make the required space of thirty inches between the rib
and the car, and had the promise from the Superintendent that it would
be attended to.

north of Fairmont on the F. M. & P. R. R. It is a Drift opening operat-
ing the Pittsburg seam on the double entry system. Ventilation is very
good.
The rooms and entries are driven to the out side which makes the cir-
culation of air good. The head coal is left up in some parts of the mine,
which makes the roof very good, timbering is very good, amd the oil is a
good grade.
I find the law complied with in all respects.

of Morgantown. It is a drift opening, operating the upper Freeport seam
on the double entry system. The ventilation is produced by a 20 foot
fatn and it is very good. The roof in this mine is very good and it is
very hard to get a break when pillaring. The pillars in this mine are
rather small and they have had a squeeze which shut off four of their
butt headings. This squeeze was caused by too small pillars and im-
proper method of taking out the coal in working and the pillars. The
timbering in this mine is good. This mine gets very dry in the winter
season, but it is well taken care of, the dust is kept wet va. the winter
months, and the drainage is good. The management is using every ef-
fort to keep the mine in a safe and healthy condition.
The law is complied with in nearly all respects, the second opening
meets the requirements of the law.

Owing to the depression in the coal business, this mine has not been
working very much during the last year. The coal is shipped by river
in barges, also by rail, being conveyed from the mime to the railroad
across the river in buckets on a rope. The coal in this mine is about
nine and one half feet high, and is clear of sulphur and Clay Veins. 1271
short teas were transported by river.

No. 321. Austin No. 2 Mine. — This mine is located on Raccoon Creek
on a branch of the B. & O. R. R. It is a drift opening, operating on the
upper Freeport seam on the double entry system. The ventilation was not
very good, on my first visit to this place, I traveled over the air ways
and found them choked in different places, the air way had several abrupt
turns. I ordered that the main air way be cleaned up and straightened
from the fan to a point known as the slate hole, this will make the air
way about straight and help the ventilation, the air is very well dis-
tributed through the mine, the drainage is good, the roof is of a soft slip-
pery nature, full of pots and is very dangerous, but is well taken care of
and well timbered, one side of this mine has a hard sand rock roof and is
very good, the mine law is very well observed and the oil used is of a
very good grade.

HAMILTON COAL AND COKE COMPANY.
No. 322. Newburg Shaft. — This mine is located at Newburg on the B.
& O. R. R. It is a shaft opening 360 feet deep. This company has been
operating the upper Freeport seam on the double entry system 170 feet
down the shaft, this seam has not been worked in the last year and has
not been inspected by me on a regular inspection trip, but was inspected
by Messrs Conners, Henry and myself on a joint inspection July 11, 1910.
The lower seam is being operated in the lower Kittanning on a small
scale. The old abandoned workings in this shaft is full of gas and is work-
ed with locked safety lamps, the roof is very bad and requires very close
timbering, the old workings are lying full of gas or fire damp, and the
place is not very safe. This mine is being worked on the tripple entry
system, and the air is very well distributed. The lower seam has not
been worked but very little since the explosion in the winter of 1886 when
at that time there were 39 lives lost, but I have been informed that this
mine was worked a little since that time with open lights, but it would
not be safe to enter this mine with an open light now.
This shaft was reported last year as Newburg Shaft No. 327 of the
printed report.

Northern R. R., five miles wtest of Kingwood. It is a drift opening, opera-
ting the upper Freeport seam on the double entry system. The ventila-
tion is produced by a furnace, and is not satisfactory. I have recommend-
ed that a fan be installed at this place. I have a promise from the Gen'l
Manager that there will be one placed in the near future.
The roof drainage and general safety of the mine is very good. The
coal is undercut with machines of the puncher type, and is hauled by
mules to the mouth of the mine; then hoisted to the tipple, up an in-
cline plane about 200 feet. There is a new drift opening here at this place,
and will be in operation in a short time.

furnace and is not very good, drainage and general safety are good. The
prospects of this mine has never been very bright owing to there being
so much rock in it; they have been driving along the side of a fault and
every two or three hundred feet trying to get through it but have not
succeeded in doing so yet, this mine has not been operated very much in
the last year, and has not been inspected but twice by me.

operating the upper Freeport seam on the double entry system. The ven-
tilation is produced by a twelve foot fan; has a continuous current and
the air on the return end is not very good, this formerly was a force fan
and on my last visit to this place I had the current reversed and it is
giving better results. The roof and drainage are very good, in parts of
the mine, the roof is very treacherous on account of it being a slate roof
but is fairly well timbered, the coal at one time was hauled out of the
mine by a tail rope, but since the new company has taken hold of the
property they have installed an electric haulage and they get the power
from the Austen Coal and Coke Company. The oil used is a very good
grade, the law is complied with in all respects.

and a new place opened upon the other side of the hill. There has been
a new fan installed at this place, the drainage and ventilation are good,
and the roof and timbering are good, the oil used is a very good grade. The
second opening complies with the law.
On my first visit to this mine the air was very bad in one heading, I
did not make any report, but suggested to the Superintendent what should
be done; and gave him five days to do the work, and I returned oni
the fifth day and I found that the work was being done and the condi-
tions in the mine were much better, and then I made a report on the
mine. There has been quite a number of new coke ovens built at this
plant in the last year, and a lot of other improvements both outside and
inside the mine. The work that has been done on the inside has been
an overcast and solid stoppings, which has helped the conditions of the
mine.

Office of the Fourth District Mine Inspector,
Elkins, W. Va., July 12, 1910.
Honorable John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear sir: — I herewith respectfully submit to you my annual report
covering a period from August 1st, 1909, to June 30th, 1910, as Inspector
of the Fourth Mining District of W. Va. During this time I made 110
regular inspections and 26 special visits. One week of this time was
spent on joint inspection of mimes in first district, — not mentioning tne
time spent helping conduct examinations, which time is regarded as well
spent. In my judgment no other method could have been devised would
have resulted in raising the standard of mine officials as these examina-
tions have done.
The past year has been one of material progress in every respect
throughout this District the mines having been operated steadily for the
greater part of the year, furnishing regular employment to all available
miners. Much money has been cheerfully expended by the operators in
getting their mines in condition to comply with the law. Much has al-
ready been done, and there is yet considerable improvement needed in
some mines before their condition will be entirly satisfactory.
I fimd that where the present law is fully observed little or no difficulty
is found in retaining workmen, and that there is also a lessening of the
cost of production.
1910] Department of Mines. 97
I also find that where the physical condition of a mine was unsatis-
factory and the Inspector made a recommendation calling for improve-
ment, he was invariably met with a complaint about the already exces-
sive mining costs, the officials not seeming to realize that the heavy
costs are due largely to the unsatisfactory condition of the mine.
This however is the exception and not the rule.
Wh/ile shooting coal from the solid has been in vogue in a number of
mines in this District, I am pleased to say that during the past year it
has been either abolished entirely or put under regulations satisfactory
to this Department in the majority of cases.
While a large number of these mines are free from both explosive gas
and coal dust, yet in quite a number of them one or both of these ele-
ments of danger were found.
Where coal dust was found I have vigorously insisted upon having it
removed, and in a majority of cases there has been no difficulty m having
this done.
In mines where explosive gas was found to be liberating, I have recom-
mended that, where it has not already being done, competent and exper-
ienced men be employed to act as Fire Bosses, and examine the working
places before men are permitted to enter therein for the purpose of work-
ing. My recommendations in this respect have usually been complied
with without question.
During the year nine fatal accidents have occurred in the mines of
this district and quite a number of non fatal ones, reports of which have
been forwarded to your office as received. I regret to say that in quite a
number of these accidents the injured party has been found to be at
fault, contributing to his injury by failure to properly care for his own
safety.
In mines where accidents are the most prevalent I have recommended
that men be put on to look after the general safety of the mteirs. Pur-
suant to your instructions I visited the Miners Hospital at Fairmont,
W|. Va., which is being maintained by the State for the benefit of miners
and others injured while about their daily work, and found the institu-
tion to be clean, well managed, and up to date in every particular.
The injured at the hospital were resting as easy as their condition
would permit. Doctor McDonald, and his corps of trained nurses seemed
to be giving their patients every possible care and attention, and I be-
live the good work being done at this institution should be fully com-
mended and made known to the miners of this State, many of whom do
not known that they can receive skilled medical attention at these institu-
tions without one cent of cost to themselves.
In conclusion I wish to thank the operators and miners who have so
willingly assisted me in having the mining law complied with.
I also wish to extend to yourself as head of this Department my ap-
preciation of the assistance you have so readily given me at all times.
Most Respectfully,
W. B. Plaster,
Mine Inspector, 4th District.

M. R. R., it is a shaft mine 198 feet, to the coal, operating the upper Free-
port seam on the double entry system. "Ventilation is furnished by a four-
teen foot steam fan, which only gives fair results, the mine being very
large, and some of the air courses being in bad condition. The shaft
bottom was found obstructed by falls of slate and rock, which were or-
dered removed, as the ventilating current was badly obstructed thereby.
These instructions had been partly carried out on my last visit.
Stoppings were constructed of bone coal and slate, very few of which
had been cemented. I recommended that all of these stoppings be
faced with cement, as they were leaking badly; very little air going to
the wforking faces. While part of this has been done a completion of the
work would greatly improve conditions at this mine.
Safety powder is used in nearly all parts of the mine. The mine liber-
ates some gas.
Roof good, drainage good, safety lamps, blankets and stretchers on
hand. A system of checking the men in and out of the mine has been
adopted.

Owing to the presence of a heavy slate in the middle of the coal, it
requires excessively heavy charges of powder to blast the coal, it was
recommended that a permissible explosive be used.
"Ventilation is by a fifteen foot fan which gives reasonably good results.
Safety lamps, blankets, stretchers, and all necessary supplies on hand.

It is a drift mine operating the Lower Kittanning coal, on the double
entry system.
Ventilation produced by a steam fan is good, stoppings on main air-
way good. This coal is of peculiar composition and much dust is made,
aside from that produced in the usual process of mining.
A small quantity of explosive gas is liberated in this mine, and it is
regularly inspected for the same.
The coal at this mine is loaded by the ton, and on account of this
we found the cars most all overloaded, the effect of this was to scatter
much coal along the haulways where it at once became fine dry dust,
the coal being very soft, amd the mine dry.
The attention of the mine officials were called to this, also to the dust
in the mine, on my last visit the dust was being looked after better.

SLEEPY MOUNTAIN COAL CO.
Series No. 429a. Short Mountain Anthracite Mine. — This mine is
located on Short mountain, fifteen miles out from Hancock, on the
B. & O. R. R. I found on the date of visit that a slope had been driven
into the ground a distance of about 110 feet, and had connected with
an old shaft which had been sunk at some former time, both the slope
and shaft have struck the vein, and a considerable quantity of the
coal had been mined and was being used for fuel to keep steam in the
boiler of the hoisting engine. Colonel W. S. Thomas had charge of the
work and stated that they had located the coal with a prospect shaft
1910] Dkpaetment of Mines. 101
and would now continue the slope down about 100 feet farther when they
would strike the coal in its natural state and with a thickness of about
eight feet.
Much money has already been spent prospecting for this coal without
any being found in paying quantities, yet I think it possible for some
coal to exist im paying quantities in this locality, and feel that should
this be the case, that Colonel Thomas, with his great experience in
developing and working anthracite mines, will be able to settle the
question as to whether anthracite coal does or does not exist in paying
quantities in West Virginia. Should coal be found a narrow gauge rail-
road will be built from Cherry Run station on the B. & O. R. R.

this mine, as gas generates there.
Some coal is shot from the solid in this mine; a practice the officials
in charge have made an effort to break up. The dust has received some
attention, being fairly well looked after at present.
Safety lamps, stretchers, blankets, anemometer, and record books kept
on hand.
Ventilation is furnished by an eighteen-foot steam fan which gives
reasonably good results; there are however, too many trap doors in the
Stewart section of the workings for a mine of this character.

being driven from the shaft bottom to the interior of the mine, and the
bottom around the air shaft is being cleaned of debris; this will have the
effect of materially improving inside conditions at this mine.
Ventilation is furnished by a splendid new fan of the most improved
type; but owing to the bad condition of the airways, the fan is not
doing anything like the work it is capable of.
Drainage is bad, the roof is frail, requiring careful timbering; ven-
tilation has been improved greatly of late.
Safety lamps, stretchers, and blankets are on hand.

It is opened out in the Upper Freeport seam of coal; the develop-
ments being on the double entry system.
Ventilation is furnished by a fifteen-foot fan driven by electric motor.
The roof in this mine varies greatly; near the crop line the top is
very bad and requires very careful timbering, in other parts of the mine
the top is much better, but the height and quality of the coal is much
inferior to that near the surface.
Law requirements are seasonably well met; the most serious cause
for complaint being solid shooting; this practice the officials in charge
are making an earnest effort to break up, in which they had succeeded
fairly well on my last visit.

ton on the W. M. R. R.
It is a drift mine operating the Lower Kittanning coal on the double
entry system, and is ventilated by a fifteen-foot fan driven by electric
114 Annual Report or [W. Va.
motor, which only gives fair results, the mine being very large and the
air having a long way to travel before reaching the working faces.
This seam of coal throughout Tucker County invariably has above
it a very frail top which crumbles and falls, and while it is fairly well
timbered, yet on account of the number of accidents occurring at this
mime we have recommended that an additional man be employed; whose
sole duty would be to look after the safety of the men employed in this
mine.
Lawful requirements are met at this mine, a great many improvements
having been made during the year; loose slate having been taken down
on the haulage-ways, man-holes made and marked etc., etc.
Safety lamps, stretchers, and blankets being kept on hand.

Office of Fifth District Mine Inspector,
Clifton, W. Va., Sept. 2, 1910.
Hon. John Laing,
Chief of the Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear Sir: — I herewith respectfully submit to you my Annual Report
as Inspector of the Fifth Mining District of West Virginia, for the year
ending June 30, 1910.
During the year I made one hundred and seven regular inspections, and
twenty-nine special visits, and twenty joint inspections of mines located
im the Tenth and Eleventh districts.
Considerable time was spent in assisting in Examinations held for Mine
Foremen and Fire Bosses in different sections of the State, and it is very
gratifying to know that these examinations have resulted in much good,
as they have certainly raised the standard of efficiency of mine foremen
and fire bosses throughout the State. Candidates preparing for examina-
tion have familiarized themselves with the State mine law, and, since
being granted a certificate for competency, have endeavored to keep their
mines in condition to comply with that law. This, if it does not eli-
minate, will wndoubetedly reduce the number of serious and fatal acci-
dents.
The mining industry throughout the State is to be congratulated in
lftiO] DEPARTMENT OF MlNES. 117
that it has passed through the year without a fatality that was due to
a mine explosion. While it is regreted that there have been so many fatal
accidents due to other causes, many of these accidents have been due to
the lack of care on the part of the injured and, strange as it may seen*,
quite a (number of the injured have been old and experienced men. They
seem to take great risk and continue to do so notwithstanding the object
lessons that are given them when other men are killed or injured in simi-
lar places. The causes are usually insufficient timber, or timber im-
properly set. In order to reduce the accidents from this source to the
minimum there should be rigidly enforced discipline. This means that
when an employee is warned not to go into a place having a dangerous
roof, he will stay out until it is properly secured; and that when an em-
ployee is told to take down a piece of slate, he will do so at once and not
wait until he completes the loading of his car, or the particular kind of
work he may be engaged at. He should be required to have the necessary
tools for setting timber and for pulling down and handling slate. He
should be instructed how the timber should be placed in order to give him
the best protection by properly sustaining the roof. An unexperienced
person should never be permitted to work in a mine by himself, but es-
pecially must he be kept out of places having a bad roof. Rigid discipline
would greatly reduce the accidents from slate falls, both to experienceu
and inexperienced men. There seems to be a disposition, especially among
experienced mem to ignore or forget the danger from a bad roof. Careful
examinations should be made of haulage roads and travelling ways and
all loose pieces of slate should be marked and taken down as soon as pos-
sible. Accidents will not be reduced by simply posting rules at the mine.
The rules should be enforced and the law strictly obeyed.
I am pleased to say that in the performance of my official duties I have
had the hearty co-operation of both mine officials and employees. No ac-
tion on the part of our Chief Executive has been more beneficial to the
public than the active interest he has shown in the protection of the lives
of those employed in the mining industry of the State. And this, together
with the hearty co-operation he has had from you as Chief of the Depart-
ment of Mines has done much to bring about the friendly feeling and co-
operation existing between the inspectors, mine officials, and mine em-
ployees.
I desire to thank you most sincerely for the able and courteous assis-
tance received at you hands.
Respectfully yours,
Earl A. Henry,
Mine Inspector Fifth District, W. Va.

No. 501. Bower No. 10 Mine — Drift. — This mine is located at Bower on
the Coal and Coke Railroad, operating in the Pittsburg No. 8 Seam of Coal
which varies in thickness from five to eight feet. The roof is slate and is
generally of a dangerous character being faulty and full of slips, requir-
ing the use of a great deal of timber and a proper system of timbering to
insure safety. The mine is developed on the double entry system. Ven-
tilation is produced by a twelve foot fan which furnishes sufficient air
when properly distributed. The fourth left heading in the No. 1 Drift will
be driven to the outcrop in the near future and this will shorten the dis-
tance that the air has to travel. The coal is all mined by pick. The mine
is practically dry. Second opening in good condition.

operating the Pittsburg Seam which has a thickness of five feet with a
slate roof of a dangerous character especially in sections of the mine
where the clay veins are encountered, which causes the roof to be very ir-
regular and full of slips. The nature of this roof requires a practical sys-
tem of timbering. The miners are well supplied with timber and as a rule,
the places are well timbered. All coal is mined with picks, with electric
motor and mule haulage. The mine is developed on the double entry sys-
tem and ventilated by a sixteen-foot fan with good results. The stopp-
ings on the main airway are built of substantial material, and overcasts
are constructed for obtaining the required splits in the air current. On
several occasions, in striking clay veins, small quantities of explosive
gas have been liberated. Second opening m good condition.

BLACK BETSEY COAL AND MINING COMPANY.
P. O., BLACK BETSEY. W. VA.
No. 516. Black Betsey No. 2 Mine.*— This is a drift mine, located at
Black Betsey and operated in connection with the No. 1 mine. The
Pittsburg seami is operated and has a thickness of five and a half feet.
The roof is slate and in some sections is of a dangerous character,
especially so when clay veins are encountered which generally cause
the roof to be irregular and full of slips, requiring a proper system
of timbering to insure safety. The miners are well supplied with timber
for this purpose. Developments are on the double entry system with
ventilation produced by an eight-foot fan, which does not furnish suf-
ficient air to properly ventilate the mine, this being due to lack of
electric power to keep the fan constantly in operation. Concrete stop-
ings are built on the main air-way and overcasts constructed to give
the required splits in the air current. On some occasions explosive gas
is liberated when clay veins are struck. In some sections of the mine
they have water to contend with; system of drainage poor. Coal is ex-
clusively pick-mined, electricity only being used on the main haulway
and in operating the fans. Second Opening in good condition. A
change in the management has recently been made and preparations are
being made to place these mines in condition to meet the requirements
of law.

the south side of Knawha River, three miles south of Winfield, operat-
ing the Pittsburg Seam which has a thickness of 3 feet six inches to four
feet. The roof is slate and generally good until they strike a clay
vein and this causes the roof to be full of slips of a dangerous character.
This is a slope mine developed on the double entry system. Ventila-
tion is produced by a ten-foot fan which furnishes sufficient air for the
number of persons employed. The mine is practically dry; drainage

shaft seventy; feet in depth used for ventilating purposes, and also
equipped with a ladder so as to be used as a seond opening in case of
accident. This does not meet the requirements of the law as a shaft
used for a second opening should be equipped with stairs, or hoisting

Coalburg Seam which has an average thickness of four feet eight inches.
The roof is slate with a draw slate in some sections that is of a dan-
gerous character and has to be taken down to insure safety. Develop-
ments are on the double entry system, with ventilation produced by an
eight-foot fan, which does not properly ventilate the working places, this
being due to the return airway being obstructed by falls of slate. An
entry is being driven to the outcrop near the working places, for the
purpose of re-locating the fan. This will greatly improve the system of
ventilation. The mine is practically dry. Coal is undercut by electric

Mk. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Deab Sir: — I herewith submit to you my annual report of the mines
in the Sixth Mining District of West Virginia for the year ending June
30th, 1910.
During the year just ended the coal business has been very prosperous
in this district and the outlook is good for the ensuing year; but miners
and laborers are scarce and this alone deters quite a number of mines
from being operated at a full capacity and also necessitates or encourages
the employment of men who are not familiar with the danger encounter-
ed in a coal mine.
In a large number of the mines in this district is a very dangerous
draw slate which must be taken down as soon as the coal is moved from
under it and it has been with much insisting on the part of the inspector
that this slate be properly timbered until the coal can be loaded and the
slate taken down and I do think and in some instances have insisted
that each miner should have an ax to set timber with before he is per-
mitted to enter the mine to load or mine coal. During the past year
I have investigated fatal accidents where one or two posts properly set
would have saved the unfortunate's life, but in a number of instances it
was the same old song, "He intended to set the timber as soon as the
car was loaded or other work performed."
Some of the mines in this district are very dry, and during the winter
146 Annual Report of [W. Va.
season are dusty, and with the heavy charges of black powder used to
break the middle slate (which a large part of this coal carries) makes
a dust explosion probable unless the working places are kept as free
from fine coal and dust as possible and kept thoroughly saturated with
water.
With the above exceptions the mines in this district are ira good condi-
tion and during the past few years the ventilation as well as the general
sanitary conditions have been greatly improved and for next year we
hope to report a much less number of accidents.
During the year five new mines were put i<a operation and seven are
now under development waiting for the completion of tipples and they
will be ready to ship coal. Seven ventilating fans were installed at
various mines throughout the district during the year.
I have firmly insisted that the mining laws be strictly complied with
but at times have been somewhat opposed by both operator arad miner
and it has taken some prolonged arguments to convince them that a
strict compliance of the law is to the interest of all concerned and for
their protection.
I desire to thank you for the good advice and kind treatment I have
received from you during the past year.
Yours very truly,
BONNER H. HILL,
Mine Inspector 6th Dist.

Mr. John Laing,
Chief of the Department of Mines,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Dear Sia: — I herewith submit my report as inspector of the seventh
district covering the period from October 11th, 1909, to June 30, 1910, in-
clusive. During the time covered by this report I made 101 regular and
55 special visits in this and other districts. There have been 18 fatal ac-
cidents in Hie 7th district during that period, nine of which were inside
of the mines. During the year the coal business has been pretty good
throughout the district and quite a number of improvements around tlie
mines have been made during the year in the way of splitting the air
current, so that fresh air can be distributed to the various sections, and
th? building oi more permanent stoppings than had previously been
practiced. Enlarging airways so that they will pass the ventilating cur-
rent with lefts resistance and various other improvements. The natural
condition of the mines in the seventh district are very favorable to opera-
tion with general safety to the employes, as none of them liberate ex-
plosive gas in dangerous quantities. With the exception of a few that
require constant watering to keep down the dust, and a few that have
bad roof. I consider the miners in this district very fayorable to gen-
eral safety. Quite a number of the miners in this district are foreigners
and many of them do not understand the English language. The remaind-
er as a rule are good practical miners, and most of them willing to comply
176 Annual Repobt of [W. Va..
with the mining laws or any orders given by the District Inspector. The
operators with a few exceptions also show a willingness to help the De-
partment in enforcing the law. As evidence of this fact I am proud to
say, that during my term of office I have only had two prosecutions in
this district, and these were for solid shooting. Both parties were
found guilty and fined as the lawi prescribes. My inspection work was
greatly interrupted during the year by the examinations that were held
for mine foreman and fire-bosses throughout the State; for with the ex-
ception of two or three of those examinations I attended all of them,
and helped in grading all of the examination papers written by the appli-
cants; but I am pleased to say that the time lost in inspection work at
the mines by the holding of those examinations has been far more than
compensated by the higher standard of efficiency of Mine Foreman and
fire-bosses brought about by those examinations; for in the first series
of examinations that were held in the state it was sad to see how few of
the men holding the responsible position of mine foreman or fire-boss
knew anything about the mining law of the state, or mining methods
necessary to safeguard the lives of the men working under their care.
As evidence of this out of over one thousand applicants examined only
a little over two hundred proved themselves worthy of receiving certi-
ficates. While on the second round of examinations held in the various
parts of the state over 90 per cent of those examined proved themselves
worthy of receiving certificates, notwithstanding that the questions asked
at the second examinations were much harder than those asked at the
first. Many of the applicants were found to be able to quote the mining
law almost exactly as it is written in the law book. Too much credit
cannot be given the Chief of the Department for the stand that he took in
this matter; for no greater good could have been accomplished in any
other way towards safeguarding the lives of the employes in the mines
and the working of the mines systematically, so as to recover the largest
possible percent of the coal, than has been brought about through those
mining examinations. They have been instrumental in getting the mining
fraternity to thinking, and studying mining thereby creating a much
higher standard than had previously existed among the mining officials
of the state. I think the present mining law if properly enforced is suf-
ficient to cover the mining conditions in the seventh district, with the
exception of enacting a law that would compel the operators to run a
separate wire from the powerhouse to the fan, and said wire to be con-
nected at the powerhouse so that the fan would have continuous current
at all times, except when the generator is stopped. As evidence of this
great need, I have seen fans that were connected on the same line as coal
hauling motors and mining machines, and when it was necessary to run
those fans at the rate of 150 revolutions per minute, suddenly cut down to
50 revolutions per minute by an electric motor pulling on a hill with a
heavy trip of loaded cars. Any mining man can readily understand the
dangers that may arise from a condition of this kind, especially in a
mine generating explosive gases in dangerous quantities.
In concluding my report I wish to thank the operators, mine officials
and miners of this district for the kind treatment they have extended
1910] Department of Mines. 177
to me during my occupancy of this office, and heartily thank you for
your kindness, advice and assistance in the discharge of the duties of this
office.
Yours very truly,
JAMES MARTIN,
Mine Inspector Seventh District.

the double entry system. The coal is mimed with pick and electric chain
machines, and is 5 feet in height. Ventilation is produced by two fans
one on the outside at the No. 3 mine, the other on the inside of this
mine, and was found to be very poor on my last inspection, but this will
be remedied in the near future, as the company intends opening the No.
5 seam, and sinking a slope into this mine, and using it to run the No.
5 coal though this mine to the tipple. This slope will also furnish
a new inlet for the air. A fan will be installed at this point. Coal is
hauled by mules and electric motors. The roof is good with the excep-
tion of the matet motor haulway which needs constant watching. The
mining laws in other respects are complied with.

No. 725. Brewster Mine. — Is a drift opening, located at Mt. Carbon
on the main line of the C. & O. R. R., operating the No. 2 gas seam on the
double entry system. The natural ventilation is not sufficient to keep
the black-damp from the worked out portion of the mine away from the
working places. The mine in the past has been worked in such a hap-
hazard manner iliat it is almost impossible to ventilate it. There is not
enough available coal left in the mine to justify much expenditure.
Drainage was not good on last inspection. It was recommended to get
as much of this available coal out during the winter months as possible,
when natural ventilation is always at its best during cold weather.

Prince, W. Va., September 10, 1910.
Hon. John Laing, \
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, TV. Va.
Dear Sir: — In compliance with the mining law I herewith respectfully
submit to you my first annual report as inspector of the Eighth mining
district of West Virginia for the year ending June 30, 1910.
I regret the number of accidents both fatal and non-fatal that have
occurred during the year i»u the eighth district, all of which reports
have been forwarded to the department and of which I have no record.
Falls of roof and slate have been responsible for the most of these acci-
dents, and they can be averted only by strict discipline, it not being
sufficient to tell a careless workman to put up a prop to secure a
dangerous piece of roof, but the official when giving the order should
see that it is lone and "at once." I have made one hundred and eighty
inspections and thirty-two special visits.
I am pleased to report progress in the general conditions of the
mines throughout the district, and the promptness with which any sug-
gestion for the betterment of conditions has as a rule been carried out.
I wish to acknowledge the appreciation I have for the manner in
which the operators and miners have co-operated with me in the dis-
charge of my duty, and also wish to thank you as chief of the depart-
ment, and the department in general for the able advice and assistance
received in pursuance of the same
Very respectfully yours,
R. Y. M-UIR,
Inspector Eighth District.

branch of the C. & O. R. R., one-half mile from Hawks Nest, operating the
Sewell seam which averages two feet ten inches to three feet thick, on
the double entry system. Ventilation is produced by a ten-foot C. & M.
fan, steam driven, which gives good results. Roof is of slate and good.
Drainage is reasonably good. Some gas is being generated in this mine
but is being taken care of by ventilation. Compressed air is used for
mining purposes. Brick stoppings have been built between the main
intake and the return airway during the year. The law is being com-
plied with in all respects.

through the middle, which averages from a streak to twelve inches in
thickness. Development is on the double entry system. Roof is slate and
good in working parts of the mine. Drainage is hard to keep in good
condition owing to the wetness of the seam. Ventilation is produced
by a furnace which does not give good results and is to be replaced by a
fan in the near future. Other conditions meet the requirements.

ing the Sewell seam which ranges from three feet eight inches to four
feet thick. The development is on the single and double entry system.
The roof is slate and usually good. Ventilation is produced by a six-foot
electrically driven fan and one furnace and is good in the part of the mine
controlled by the fan. A five foot fan (which was replaced in the latter
part of the year by a six-foot fan now in use) is to be used to take the
place of the furnace and should properly ventilate the mine. A very deep
ditch is being made through part of the mine which will improve the
drainage to a great extent. Conditions comply with the law in other
respects.

It operates the Sewell seam which averages three feet and eight inches
thick. Developments are on the double entry system, and ventilation is
produced by a twelve foot C. & M. fan which gives good results. The roof
is mostly sandstone and good, but breaks easily in pillar robbing, as has
been proven so far in this mine. The second opening, while available and
kept in condition, is up three nights of ladders and not the best. The
management expects to be able to make a new second opening by drift
as soon as it is possible. Other conditions comply with the law.

Developments are on the single and double entry system. Ventilation
is produced by a ten foot Thayer fan — exhausting — and is reasonably
good. Roof is sandstone in parts and part has a brittle draw slate. A
rock tunnel has been in course of driving all year, but they have not as
yet gotten it through. The workable coal on the near side of the fault is
nearly exhausted, considerable of the pillar work being taken out. A
small electric fan furnishes air in rock tunnel by means of a twelve inch
square box through which it is conducted, giving reasonable results.
Drainage is affected and hampered some by surface water coming into the
mine. The law is complied with in other respects.

and drainage is good with the exception of a few local swags where
water lays on haulage. Roof is good at working faces and well takea
care of. The coal is of a faulty nature and is not regular, rolls occuring
at frequent intervals, making it a hard mine to operate. There is con-
siderable coal to be gotten if it proves good, which they are at present
prospecting. A new tipple has been built during the year. Other con-
ditions comply with the law.

in operation owing to improvements being made. A new drum house
and tipple were being built, the drift mouth retimbered, and a motor
haulage being installed which will cut off more than a mile of distance
from the old steam locomotive tramway around the mountain. Ventila-
tion is produced by a seven-foot steam driven fan which gives good
results when the air is properly conducted. Drainage is not of the best,
but promises have been made to have it improved. Roof is slate and
generally good, and the law is complied with in other respects.

Beckley, W. Va., August 31, 1910.
Hon. John Laing,
Chief of the Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Dear Sib: — I herewith respectfully submit to you my annual report
as Inspector of the Ninth District.
During the year I have made 235 mine inspections and 50 special
visits.
I am pleased to report that there is a universal tendency on the part
of operators and officials to fully comply with the Mining Laws in every
respect. The past year has been an unusual one in the art of mining.
Officials as well as miners have taken a very keen interest in studying
the Mining Laws and problems connected with the coal mining.
The officials connected with the various mines around Glen Jean have
held their weekly mining class meetings to improve and educate one
another. Raleigh Coal & Coke Company officials have established a
Mining Institute and hold their meetings every week in the Chief Engi-
neer's office, devoting three hours to each meeting. Taking the other
mining camps; keen interest is going on as well. The fact of Mine Fore-
men and Fire Bosses having to undergo an examination has resulted in
bettering the general condition of the mines in my district.
Since last annual report new mines have been opened out in Raleigh
County on the Winding Gulf, 4 slopes and 8 drift mines which, when
fully equipped, will give a daily output of about 14,000 tons.
The New River ollieries Company have gotten their No. 4 shaft sunk
218 Annual Report of [W. Va.
down to the Beckley seam and are sinking two other shafts, Nos. 5 and 6,
to the same seam. When these mines get in full operation they will
greatly increase the tonnage in Raleigh County.
Accidents: The fatal accidents in the Ninth District have been prin-
cipally due to falls of slate, caused by carelessness in not posting; three
by electric shocks and one by fast and reckless motor running of motor-
man at Oswald mine.
Respecting slate accidents: Each and every operation ought to have
their own by-laws specifying the distance props shall be set.
All shaft mines should have a daily examination made of hoisting
machinery, ropes, cages and guides, and a proper record kept.
Non-gaseous mines, reference to break-throughs: The Law should
specifically state that no advancing headings or rooms should be driven
more than 100 feet ahead of the last break-through and that the break-
through should be cut through at 80 feet (i. e.) where the air is not be-
ing conveyed to the face by means of brattice cloth or boarding.
Refuge holes on all motor and rope haulage roads: Refuge holes
should be made every 60 feet, not more than 6 feet wide and not less
than 4 feet in depth.
In conclusion, I desire to express my appreciation of the courteous
treatment that I have received from the Mine Officials and Miners.
Thanking you for the advice and counsel you have given me, I am,
Respectfully yours,
LANCE B. HOLLIDAY,
Inspector Ninth District.

They are 13 miles from the main line at Mullins, and one hundred and
eight miles from Charleston. The Winding Gulf Extension of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway is building to these mines, and the operation will
have the benefit of the two railways.
The seam mined is the Beckley seam. The operation is a drift, the
coal outcropping three hundred feet above the creek. The thickness of the
coal is about 6 feet, with a laminated slate parting 6 feet from the top.
This parting varies from 3 inches to 4 feet in thickness. Where it gets
over two feet thick the lower seam is abandoned.
The operation embraces two mines, and a third opening is now being
made. The mines are developed on the four entry system, worked
with room and pillar in panels of three cross entries each. Rooms 24
feet, pillars 36 feet wide, length of room three hundred and fifty feet.
The mining is done partly by pick work and partly by machine. There
are two Sullivan low vein electric machines in operation.
The coal is handled by means of retarding conveyor, 345 feet in length,
which is discharged on to a pan conveyor 271 feet long. Both conveyors
are electrically driven. The capacity of the conveyors is 4000 tons daily.
Provision has been made for the side tracks of both the Virginian and the
0. & O. Rys. under the tipple . and prepared coal can be loaded on either
railway.

Kon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Deae Sir: — I have the honor to submit herewith my first annual
report as inspector of mines of the Tenth Mining District, dating from
the time of my appointment, August 1st, 1909, and ending June 30th, 1910.
The number of inspections being 197. The number of extra or special
visits to mines pertaining to fatal accidents and ventilation are 46.
I have made every effort to visit and inspect all mines in my district
as often as my time would permit. In mines where I had au occasion to
call attention to ventilation and other defects, the mine officials have
always been willing to remedy them within a reasonable length of time,
so in no case was it necessary to bring prosecutions in order to better
the ventilation and other defects that were found.
I was obliged to prosecute a great number of miners for blasting the
coal from the solid, and some for burning kerosine oil which is strictly
against the State Mining Law. Some of our mine superintendents and
mine foremen had some men prosecuted for solid shooting which shows
that the mine officials are complying with the law. Upon my last inspec-
tions at these mines— where I had prosecuted the men for blasting the
coal from the solid— I found them mining their coal. By the help of the
mine officials this trouble can be stopped entirely.
Several of the large mines have equipped electric pumps with hose
and rotary sprays attached to water cars so that they are able to keep
246 Annual Report of [W. Va.
the dust thoroughly wet. I am very glad to state also, that there has
beeu several steam boilers constructed at some of the largest mines for
the purpose of putting the exhaust steam in the mines through the winter
months to keep the temperature inside the mine as nearly equal as
possible throughout the year. There are some mines equipped with water
lines throughout for the purpose of keeping down the dust which has
given good results.
The general condition of the mines in this district has been greatly
improved during the year by placing more assistants in the mines, and by
putting in new improvements.
I am sorry to say that the fatal accidents in the Tenth District have
been numerous, all of which have been sent to the office of the Depart-
ment of Mines. These accidents are due mostly to inexperienced persons
and foreign labor, who are totally ignorant of the dangers they have to
encounter in the coal mines. On investigating these accidents I
found that 96 per cent of them were caused by carelessness of the vic-
tims failing to take down the loose slate or coal.
The Chief of the Department of Mines, during the last year has held
several mine foreman and fire boss examinations throughout the state,
which has done a great deal of good. All coal operators and mine mana-
gers are glad of the precautions the chief has taken because they know
now that they have capable men in charge over their mine.
I take great pleasure in stating that I have received very courteous
treatment, and the co-operation of both operators and mine officials while
on my duty, during the term I have served, for which I desire publicly to
extend my thanks.
In conclusion I wish to thank the chief of the Department of Mines
for the kind treatment and able assistance which has been rendered
me during my term as inspector of the mines.
Yours very truly.
ARTHUR MITCHELL,
Tenth District Mine Inspector.

No. 1001. Coaldale Mine. — Located on the main line of the N. and
"W. R. R. It is a drift mine operating in the No. 3 Pocahontas seam,
which is 8 feet 4 inches thick at this point. Ventilation is produced by an
18 foot fan. It is divided into 4 separate currents. The mine employs
164 persons and has an average output of 950 tons per day. The work-
ings are practically all pillar work. On account of the height of the
seam and the frail nature of the roof, the recovery of the coal is diffi-
cult and dangerous. There are timber men employed to do- the timbering
for the miners. Every care is taken to avoid accidents. Haulage is done
by electric motors and mules. Miners are supplied with clay for tamping.
Sufficient props and caps are kept on hand at suitable lengths. Rules are
posted. Stretchers, blankets and safety lamps are kept on hand and all
other supplies to comply with the law.

Hon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, "West Virginia.
Dear Sir: — I have the honor of presenting to you my Annual Report as
inspector of the 11th Mine District, year ending .luue 30, 1910.
There are 86 mines in operation and 10 mines under construction and
development, making a total of 96 mines in this district. 221 inspections
have been made and 66 extra visits to determine the causes of fatal acci-
dents, and also to determine whether or not recommendations furnished
by the inspector have been carried out. I have sent out 74 written recom-
mendations, during the year, 72 prosecutions have been made for viola-
tion of Section 11, 22, 23, mostly for solid shooting, also oil regulations.
In some cases mine foremen have been removed for being incompetent.
It: all prosecutions I have been successful and have had the hearty sup-
port of the courts and of the operators; as they have always been ready
and willing to assist at all times to have the Mining Law carried out. The
examinations for mine foremen and fire bosses, which have been held
throughout the state have made a wonderful improvement, as they have
caused the superintendent and foremen to adopt mining schools to bring
themselves to a higher standard which renders them more efficient for
the positions they hold.
One of the great troubles in parts of this district is lack of discipline,
which is the cause of several of the accidents, both fatal and non-fatal, in
and around the mines. It is easy to observe whether or not the mines
have discipline from the number of accidents which occur in them. With
272 Annual Report of [W. Va.
strict discipline, the accidents would be reduced to two-thirds of what
they are today.
Telephones are installed in several of the mines in this district. The
law should compel all operators to install a telephone system in their dif-
ferent operations. The mines in this district are so extensive, when there
is a serious accident too much time is lost before the injured is given aid,
owing to inhability to get the right-of-way of the road or motor, to trans-
port the injured to the nearest point for aid. There are several advan-
tages in the telephone system. The telephone wires should be installed in
pipes and put on the floor of the mine so the wires would not be disturbed.
The Mining Laws in this State do not mention anything pertaining to
electric currents, which is a very important factor, especially when 5uu
volts are used where the seam is low. During this year we have had
several fatal accidents and several seriously burned with 500 volts, but in
all cases it has been where the seam is low.
Another dangerous practice is where brakemen ride on front end of
trips where they are pushed by an electric motor or other mechanical
means. Several fatal and serious accidents have been caused by wreck-
ing of trips, both loaded and empty.
Nearly all companies have adopted a rule that no miner shall be em-
ployed to dig or load coal without he has an ax to set his own props
to keep his working place in a safe condition as far as the roof is con-
cerned. Some mine foremen are encountering considerable trouble in get-
ting their coal mined properly while others are getting their coal mined
and using sprags for safety, as good as any mines in the country, as will
be shown in the mine reports. Clay is being used throughout the district
for tamping of all holes before blasting and the foremen in general have
forced this rule to an issue.
The checking system is fast coming to the front as 52 mines in this dis-
trict have adopted the system of checking men in and out of the mine or
shaft, as the case may be. Great improvements have been made in and
around the mines such as overcasts, new and larger fans, and the enlarg-
ing of airways. Most of the companies have put in appliances to keep the
mines in a moist condition. During the cold season of the year some are
using the exhaust steam from their fan or pumps with good results.
I have visited the Miners Hospital at "Welch several times during the
year and have made several inquiries and great credit is due Dr. Hicks
and his assistants for the work being done and the methods used in con-
ducting the Hospital.
During the year just past the United States Coal and Coke Company
has installed new substation equipments at its Nos. 2 and 4 mines, and
lias completed some very heavy and expensive grading on the main head-
ing of its No. 10 Mine. This heading was driven through low coal a dis-
tance of about 2,000 ft. before the normal thickness of the seam was
reached; this low coal was exceedingly irregular in grade, and the work
done was to make a uniform grade on the haulage road through it.
During the past year an experimental mining and pneumatic transpor-
tation plant has been in operation at No. 9 Works. The mining machine
is an invention of Gen. Supt. O'Toole. and, as operated at this plant
1910] Depaetment of Mines. 273
it cuts a heading about 10' 2" wide by 7' 1" high, removing the coal from
the face and loading it either into mine cars, as it was first installed, or
into a hooper at the end of the pipe line of the pneumatic transportation
plan.
This latter plan is for transporting the coal from the working face by a
vaccum process. A large "Roots" exhauster was placed at the tipple,
which exhausted the air from a temporary wooden suction head, into
which the 24" steel pipe line from the mine was connected. The velocity
of air in the pipe line was about 6,000 ft. per minute, and this velocity
was reduced in the suction head, so that all of the coal was dropped here
into a small bin, from which it was drawn by a double door discharger,
to prevent leakage. Several test runs of this plant were made in my
presence and as high as 2350 lbs of coal per minute was cut from the face
and delivered to the bin. The coal is mined tolerably fine, in just the
proper condition for coke making, and in addition to the saving in cost
of operation claimed for this system, the very great advantages of perfect
ventilation, (as all of the air is taken directly from the faces of the work-
ing places) elmination of all dust, gas and explosives and the reduced
liability of accidents on account of the smaller number of men employed
and not using mine cars, motors of explosives, are apparent to every one.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the operators and other mine officials
for their assistance rendered during the past year. I also wish to thank
the Chief of the Department of Mines for his able and prompt counsel
during the year.
Very respectfully yours,
Ww. Nicholson, D. M. I

UNITED STATES COAL & COKE COMPANY.
Having commenced on the report of the United States Coal & Coke
Company mines I wish to state for the benefit of the public and all
interested in mining that this company has adopted the permissible
powder in all their mines, using shot firers with the electric batteries
and also clay for the tamping of all holes, which has eliminated the
danger that is encountered throughout the district of each miner doing
his own shooting, with a few mines excepted. All miners of the United
States Coal & Coke Company use the checking system, that is all employes
being checked in mines and also checked on their return out, so at the
end of the days work they are sure that no one is left in the mines. They
have also adopted the system of not employing any one to load coal or
pick work without the miner has an ax to set his own posts where it
is necessary. Each Cut Boss, or mine foreman assistant is expected
to visit each working face every two hours during the day. It is also
gratifying to know that the United States Coal & Coke Company does
not stop at the mining laws but in several instances far exceeds them and
any one who has occasion to visit these mines owned by the above
company will realize that they have the very best of disipline and other
methods pertaining to mining.

294 Annual Report of [W. Va.
miles east of Welch, and is operating what is known as the No. 4 Poca-
hontas seam. Ventilation is produced by a 15-foot fan with good results.
Considerable improvement has been made at this mine, pertaining to the
second opening. Cages have been put in, so mien cam be hoisted out
of the second opening in case of emergency, without disturbing the air
current. The coal seam in this mine is very low. During the year two
men have been killed with electric wires, using 500 volts, which with
the low roof conditions is extremely dangerous. All coal is cut by ma-
chimes and all hauling done by electric motors. Permissible powder is
used exclusively throughout the mines. Some miners still use the short
fuse, which is a very dangerous practice. Stretchers, blankets and safety
lamps and all other necessary supplies, as required by law, are on hand.

have abandoned the No. 4 seam and conducted the slope to the No. 3
seam.
This mine has absolutely no discipline and the superintendent in
charge is very incompentent. Second opening of this mine, at this writ-
ing, does not meet with the requirements of the law. Recommendations
have been furnished this company pertaining to second opening and also
to refuge holes on the slope where men travel.
Doors and brattice are of poor quality. Break throughs have not been
driven at the required distance. Drainage in the mine not good. Coal is
being mined by pick but on a very crude system.

tas seam.
Ventilation is produced by sixteen foot force fan. During the year a
new generator and engine has been installed which is giving them ample
power for fan and haulage purposes. This is the first mine in this
district that commenced to use exhaust steam from their fan during the
cold season of the year to help keep their mine in a moist condition. In
using exhaust steam for their fan they used a twelve inch pipe which
ran in the center of the air course a distance of a thousand feet, with
splendid results. Several new overcasts have been constructed during
the year.
Refuge holes on all haulways are properly whitewashed and kept clear
of all obstructions.
Tamping is done with clay throughout the mine.

Huntington, Aug. 18th, 1910.
Hon. John Laing,
Chief of Department of Mines,
Charleston, W. Va.
Dear Sir: — In compliance with Section 3 of the Mining Law, I here-
with respectfully submit to you my annual report as inspector of the
mines in the Twelfth District for the year ending June 30th, 1910.
During the year, I made two hundred and four regular inspections in
the Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth Districts, and twenty special visits to
mines were made for the purpose of invetsigating fatal accidents, to
look after mine fires, and to see that gas and coal dust were being prop-
erly cared for.
There are ninety coal mines in the Twelfth District, out of which there
are at present seventy producing coal. To this number six new mines
will soon be added and there are good prospects of soon starting the mine;>
that have been idle.
The general condition of the mines in the district that are operating
is good, many improvements having been made during the year. Eigh-
teen additional fans have been installed for ventilating. Overcasts and
permanent stoppings have been put in many of the mines. A number of
electric plants have been installed. New tipples have been constructed
that will grade the coal better than the old ones and some have changed
from the obsolete method of developing a large territory of coal by the
ordinary main and cross entry system to the more up to date panel sys-
tem of mining.
302 Annual Repokt of |_W. Va.
There are some operators in the district, however, who still wish to
ventilate their mines with the unreliable furnace and much urging has to
he restored to before they make a change to fan ventilation.
All of the coal mined in the district, with the exception of a few
mines where the coal is shot from the solid by shot firers when all
other employes are out of the mine, is undercut with either electric
chain machines or compressed air punching machines. In shooting this
undercut coal, light charges of powder are required in most of the mines,
and in others where shooting heavy charges would be considered dan-
gerous on account of the presence of coal dust, the coal is either
"snubbed" in front after cutting or shot down in two benches and the
shot holes tamped with clay. The whole being done under the super-
vision of shot inspectors.
On November 13, 1909, at No. 2 miine of the United States Coal and Oil
Company in Logan Co., a fire was started on the return air course, 800
feet in from the fan, by an electric wire forming a contact with the rib.
This is a large mine and as soon as the fire was discovered, all the men
were immediately ordered from the mine.
The air current at the point where the fire originated had a velocity of
2200 feet per minute and the men were scarcely out of the mine when the
fan was put out of use by the babbit being melted from the bearings, by
the flames that was drawn through. This occasioned a considerable de-
lay as an emergency fan had to be installed before the fighting of the
fire could be commenced. It was then fought for two months and extin-
guished by a plentiful supply of water and by leading out the roof which
had been brought down by the heat given off.
If the fan at this mine had been forcing the air instead of exhausting,
there would have been the danger of blowing the smoke and gases from
the fire back into the mine before the fan could be reversed. This points
out the danger of having electric wires on an entry 'not frequently travel-
ed and used as an intake air way for a force fan. It also showed the ad-
vantage of having stoppings and overcasts built of uncombustible mater-
ial as they remained intact during the fire.
A system of checking the miners in and out of the mine and keeping a
record of the names of every person in the mine and the section in which
they work, is in force by this company. At the time of the fire, it pas-
sed through a severe test and was the means of preventing much confus-
ion and uncertainty for by means of it, the officials were able to tell when
all the mien had left the mine.
The number of fatal accidents that has occured during the year will
show a considerable decrease over the past year for the amount of coal
mined and the number of persons employed, yet. the results are not en-
tirely satisfactory. An investigation into the causes of those accidents
reveals the fact that most of them occured through the person's own care-
lessness in violating some rules or order of the company. In some such
cases, the management consoles themselves with the fact that they were
in no way responsible for the accident. The value, of any rules which
may be adopted to govern the safety of men working in a mine, depends
1910] Department of Mines. 303
mainly on the energy with which they are enforced by the management
and the decipline maintained to compel their observance by the men, and
whenever they are carried nto effect more thoroughly by all concerned,
the results will be more satisfactory.
In some of the nii'nes in the district, a contract system of working is
employed. A contract is given to one man to get the coal out of some
certain section of the mine and in some places the whole mine is worked
in this manner. There is no doubt in some cases where part of the work
is in a remote section of the mi'ne, that this method can be worked to
advantage, but, where the whole mine is worked by a number of con-
tractors, the system is to be condemned. Each contractor has a dozen or
more men employed and in their desire to produce coal at the least pos-
sible cost, the making safe of the working place is often neglected and
the condition of the mine ruined by the haphazard manner in which it
is worked.
There are no amendments that I wish to offer to our present mine law.
The results obtained, during the past year, by a faithful compliance of
its requirements by all concerned, has shown that it is adequate to ac-
complish the purpose intended by it.
In conclusion 1 desire to thank you for the able advise and assistance
rendered so courteously during the year, and to the miners and operators
for the respect shown me.
Respectfully submitted,
P. A. Grady,

UNITED STATES COAL AND OIL COMPANY.
This company is operating eight mines on Island Creek, and
two more, intended to be large producers, will be soon ready to ship coal.
Electric power for the different mines is generated from a central
power house with an aggregate output of 1800 K. W.
All of the mines are being developed along the most modern lines and
they are doing many things for the protection of the men employed and
their own for which they deserve to be commended.
The coal mined is all undercut and electric chain machines and then
312 Annual Report of [W. Va.
"snubbed" about eighteen inches in front before shooting. Clay tamping
is used and excessive charges of powder are prohibited. Shot bosses
patrol the mines to see that the shooting is performed in a proper manner.
The dusty parts of the mine are carefully watered and hygrometric
readings are frequently taken.
In order to determine the condition of the atmosphere of the mine, air
samples are taken, twice each month at the return of each split and at
the fan, and analyses are made of those samples by a chemist employed
by the company. By analyzing the mine air in this manner, will reveal
any generation of explosive gas into the atmosphere of the mine, long be-
fore it can be detected by the ordinary safety lamps. It also serves to
determine the amount of air that should be circulated around each sep-
arate split.
A system of checking the men, in and out of the mines and of keeping
a record of the sections in which they work, is maintained by this com-
pany and now after more than two years trial with it, they would not
consider giving it up on account of the many advantageous features it
has.
A station, provided with four Drager breathing apparatus, one Drager
Pulmoter, eight electric safety lamps, and other accessories required for
such a station, has been established by this company during the year.
A body of men employed by the company trained in the use of this ap-
paratus will be invaluable in the event of a fire or mine explosion. In
trraining those men, they are sent into one of the mines and made to per-
form actual work with the apparatus on, and for the time taken up in
this manner, they receive their regular pay from the company.
It was found difficult to interest men in this work and have them to
train on their own time.

inches in thickness. This mine has been idle for some years and is just
now being opened up by a new company. The old company which
operated this mine, a short while before it closed down, bought a 200
K. W. electric generator with a voltage of 550. This electric plant was
never installed by them for use and when the new company took the
plant over. I objected to their using an electric current of such voltage
in a mine whose coal was so low. The new management also feels that
the voltage is high and they have agreed to reduce it to 250. A suitable
fan must be installed before ventilation is made good. Doors and stop-
pings are also being re-constructed and the water drained from, the mine.

No. 1277. Red Jacket Junior No. 1 Mine} — This is a new mine, located
on Mate Creek, four miles above Matewan. It is a drift opening in what
seems to be the lower bench of the Thacker seam, which averages 54 in.
in thickness. Roof is good. Temporary ventilation is being produced
by a furnace. A fan will soon be installed. The development will con-
sist of four main entries from which the panel entries will be turned.
Power for cutting the coal, hauling, etc., will be furnished from a 250
K. W. electric generator. The coal will be dumped from the mine cars
into the hopper of the retarding conveyor by a rotary dump. No end
gates are required in the mine cars with such a dump and the loss of fine
coal and dust, onto the road ways of the mine that is caused mostly by
the end gates being in a dilapidated condition, will be avoided. The com-
pany intends this mine to be a large producer of coal.
