470 IIEPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF MINES. Off. Doc. Morgan.—There is scarcely any solid coal left to mine in this pit, and, although all the work is done in ribs and stumps, I always find the plant in good condition. Mine foreman, Daniel Alsop. White.—This mine is kept in good condition throughout the year. Mine foreman, William Miner. Summit and PJagle.—1 always find (licsv mines in good condition. with good ventilation and drainage. Mine foreman, John Nolan. Franklin.—1 have never visited this mine and found the requirements of the law disobeyed. Mine foreman, Jacob Dewalt. Tip Top.—This mine was idle for a long time during the year, but is in operation now, and in good condition. Mine foreman, James Wardlow. Valley.—On every visit to this mine, I have found it in good condition in every respect, as far as the requirements of the law are concerned. Mine foreman, James Jackson. Scottdale Iron and Steel Company.—This mine supplied the steel mill with coal, but the firm is now using natural gas and the mine has been closed down. Dexter.—On my last visit, I found the ventilation and drainage good; also that most of the dirty coal has been worked out and the mine will soon have a nice, clean coal to work in. Mine foreman, S. S. Fairchild. Painter.—This mine has been opened through to old Fountain, and a way is being prepared to pump the water so that all the coal can be worked out to advantage. Drainage and ventilation will be improved, although both are fairly good now. Diamond.—This mine has worked none this year. Bessemer.—On my last visit I found the ventilation and drainage improved. If the care exercised now is continued till the mine is worked out, there wdll be no complaints. Rising Sun.—This mine was idle most of the year, but was working when I visited it at the same time I visited the Bessemer. The same mine foreman is attending to both mines, and the Kisiiig Sun mine is in good condition. Mine foreman, J. A. Trimbath. Emma.—This is a small mine, but I always find it in proper condition, with good ventilation and drainage. Mine foreman, Adam Whitehead. West Overton.—This mine is now working altogether in new hill coal, but being so near the cro]) the coal gets red befoit^ the property line is reached. I can venture the opinion that the mine will not last long, although at present in good condition for the number of workmen employed. Mine foreman, John Boyle. Buckeye.—This mine is kept in good condition, and I find no complaints with the system adopted in the mining or the precautions for the safety of the em])loyes. Mine foreman, fJeorge Burns.
No. 10. NINTH BITUMINOUS DISTRICT. 471 Mullen.—Everything in this mine is progressing favorably. The ventilation and drainage are good. Mine foreman, Albert Williams. Mines Along the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad. Plumer.—Before another year passes away this mine will have taken its place among those counted as exhausted in the Connellsville region. Even to the last it is kept in good condition. Mine foreman, William Bennet. Coalbrook.—Very little need be said about this mine. It was oi)ened up on a good system and this course is being continued. Mine foreman, M. F. Picard. Grace.—Everything in this mine is up to the requirements of the law. Few entries can be driven, as the headings are about up to the property lines. B. S. Raygor is mine foreman. I'ennsville.—This is a small mine, but is always kept in good condition. Care is taken in its mining operations. Mine foreman, William Kooser. Enterprise.—I have never until now had an opportunity to report When I visited it, everything was in this mine, as it was always idle. good condition, but from appearances there is little coal left to mine. Mine foreman, Andrew Neish. Union.—This plant was not working when I visited it, but is now. It has changed hands, W. J. Rainey being the purchaser, and he has recently put it in operation. The coal is used in the manufacture of coke. The mine is now working nearly to its capacity. Mayfield and Donnell.—These two mines were both idle during the year. Mines Along the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. Adelaide.—This is a very large mine and is always kept in good condition. All the requirements of the law are observed. A new coal crusher has ben put in the coal bin, for the purpose of crushing the coal used in the coke ovens. Thomas Harris Is the mine foreman. Moreland Slope and Fort Hill.—These two mines appear like two separate operations but really are only one. The slope was driven to its destination first and the coal worked out continuously at the foot, until the first fiat is nearly all woikcd out. This is a first class prevention against squeezes and is approved of in this mine. Mine foreman, William Sloan. Rainbow.—This mine is turning out a large output of coal, having the old slope and the upper side both working advantageously. small mine fire occurred in the beginning of May, but little other trouble was encountered. The fire occurred in the entry driven IGO feet from the main heading. As no cut through had been made, the fire was easily smothered. A workman put off a shot, which fired the coal, and as he could not extinguish the firc he quietly left it, telling A
