354 REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF MINES. Off. Doc. 14 feet long by 60 inches diameter, has been added to the boiler capacity at the air compressor plant. Mining boss, Elias Phillips. Morrell.—The coal at the lower boundary of this mine is rapidly being exhausted. All the coal is being mined from pillars and is getting well back towards the bottom of the slope. Several squeezes have occurred while drawing out the ribs and considerable coal has been lost in consequence. Considerable trouble is experienced in working the coal in consequence of the squeeze breaking the roof. Numerous falls occur on the roadways and in the working places, which makes it dangerous to life and limb and expensive to operate safely. The ventilation is good in all parts of the mine ex(;ept at the outer end of the slope, where an old flat is being reopened for the purpose of recovering some ribs which were left standing years ago. Here, considerable black-damp is mixed with the air current. It is in contemplation shortly to hole this place through to an old country mine, which will give a supply of fresh air and will remedy the present trouble. The drainage is defective in parts on account of the numerous falls closing up the drains. Mining boss. James S. Connor. Mahoning-Atlas.—This mine is made up of the workings and slopes of what was formerly two separate mines, viz, Mahoning and Atlas. They are connected underground with hauling roads, and the same ventilating fan gives air to both, and the same pumping arrangement drains both mines and they behmg to the same owners. They are now consolidated into one mine under the management of the same mine foreman. The general conditions are good, the mine being well ventilated, drained and looked after. Mining boss, Frank Kodgers. Mt. Braddock.—The headings in this mine are still being pushed forward to develop the mine, but owing to the great demand for coal to charge the increased number of ovens which were built last year, the rooms are being worked out as fast as they can be won out of the solid coal by the developments of the headings, and the i)lan is to draw no ribs until the boundary is reached. It is a (piestion, however, whether, by leaving all the ribs stand-ng for so long a time before drawing them, a squeeze will not overrun the mine whenever rib drawing is commenced, and a large part of the coal never be recovered. Time will determine the result, and I am of the opinion that it is rather a risky experiment, and may prove a costly one. The ventilation, drainage and general conditions for the safety of the mine are good. Mining boss, John liitz. Mt. Hope.—This mine is in good condition in all respects. It has all the advantages of good natural ventilation and drainage and is well looked after. Mining boss, George Armstrong.
No. 10. FIFTH BITUMINOUS DISTRICT. 355 Nellie.—This mine is ueaily worked out to the boundary lines. Tliere is a large territory of solid coal, however, above water level as yet almost untouched, which will not be developed until all below water is nearly worked out. The condition as to healthfulness and safety is good. The mine is being well cared for and will not suffer for waiit of attention. Mining boss, David Young. ]s^Teiiie.—This mine is in fair condition and were it not for the fact that the natural conditions are exceedingly good and very little atteuiion is recjuired to get good results, it would not get so favorable a rej)ort, as scarcely anything is done to keep it in order. The mine foreman is one only in name. He is emi)loyod for some trifling sum to visit the working places of the nuners, as required by law, just as a blind, and to technically cover tlie mine law, but he has no authority whatever. He digs coal all the time, just as any other miner does and visits around the working places between times. He simply acts as a stool pigeon with his certificates for the operator, who acts as superintedent and everything else, and does very little of anything. Mining boss, Archie Cochran. Oliphant.—This mine is now in good condition generally. A large sump has been made on each side of the slope, with a capacity for holding about eight or ten days' accumulation of water at its maximum rate of accumulation. The headings are still being pushed forward towards the boundary lines, and considerably more room has been opened out than is required at present. Connection is made with the Wynn mine, which drains its water into this mine and is pumped by its pumps. Tiie ventilation and drainage are good. Mine boss, James Small. Oliver Nos. 1 and 2.—These mines are in their usual good condition and everything is being done to keep them so. A new '^endless rope" system of haulage is being installed in No. 2 mine similar in principle to the one in No, 1 mine. A large brick stack has been built on the top of the exhaust shaft at No. 1. The mine is being carefully looked after, and the health and safety of the persons employed are -being continually cared'for and there is nothing left undone that foresight can prevent. Mining bosses Albert J. Williams and Charles M. Porter. Paul.—A new compressor plant has been installed at this mine for the purpose of furnishing air to run the mine pumps. A large i>ump has also been put in place near a bore hole from the surface, through which water will be discharged from the mine. Also, a large sump has been made in which to collect the water from the different sections of the workings, most of which will drain into it. The balance will be pum])ed into it by small pumps, which are also run by compressed air. When finished this will be a model ]>um])ing plant. The mine is in good condition throughout and is in good hands and will be well taken care of. Mine boss, Robert Nelson. 22
