140 ANNUAL REPORT OP THE No. 64. Pioneer South.— Jones & Co., Operators. The colliery is situated south of Ashland, on the estate of the Philadelphia and Reading <strong>Coal</strong> and Iron Company. It consists of a small out crop, working as a land sale operation, used for supplying families in the neighborhood, giving employment to some 10 hands. The work is in a safe condition. No. 65. Myers.— Myers, Operator. This colliery is opened on the west out crop of the Pioneer vein, on the estate of the Philadelphia and Reading <strong>Coal</strong> and Iron Company, west of Ashland. It consists of a small land sale colliery for supplying families, giving employment to some 10 hands in winter season. In concluding my report on these collieries, I am pleased to say they are all in a much Jbetter condition for health and safety than was the case in previous years ; hut I deeply regret the large increase of my death rolls and serious injuries that have occurred during the year ; in mitigation of which complaint it is proper to refer to the verdicts rendered by coroners' inquests, based upon evidence adduced by witnesses, going to show that many of these injuries were occasioned by the sufferers, and not the fault of the employer s. But there is some excuse for the sufferers, so far as it is true, that many persons are permitted to work in the mines, such as are common in the anthracite regions, that ought not to be employed in the capacity of mining, driving or laboring, but who have little practical experience in mines at all. But the relation existing, and indeed will exist between the parties who need employment and those who have the employment to let, are of such a nature that often the unskilled will occupy the place of the practical person ; hence it is evident the impractical man is the least incompetent to take proper care of himself, or use such due diligence as is necessary in his arocation. Ignorance, rashness, misjudgment and kindred instances involves him in difficulties by which he loses his life or receives serious injuries. Instances have occasioned many deaths and serious injuries to parties that have taken mometary advantages contrary to law and to the public regulations of the colliery, in riding on loaded wagons, crowding on slope and shaft cages, entering places with naked lights, mining under bad roofs without propings, and doing such acts that often result in death.
