n . ANNUAL REPORT OP THE and 4,500 yards of tracks are in use. The average daily shipments is 350' tong. I found all the appointments of this colliery well conditioned. Trenton or Delano (slope) Colliery. ^ — Operated by Atkinson. It consists of a slope sunk on the north dip of the Primrose vein (G.) There has been very little mining done on the bottom level, but counter levels are now opening, which will shortly greatly increase its production. There are 4 engines, of 140-horso power, with 9 boilers in use ; 52 men and 22 boys are employed; 12 mules and 30 wagons, and 2,500 yards of track are in use. The daily shipments will average 300 tons. Locust Dale Colliery.— Operated by the P. and E. Goal and Iron Company, on lands of the said company. It consists of a double slope lift on the B vein in 25 feet of coal, and an independent pump slope used for drainage, men and materials ; 36 breasts are open, all of double shutes ; 48 yards of a coal pillar supports the upper lift gangway, the gangways are 200 yards in advance of the breastings. Ventilation is good, 2,800 cubic feet of air is in circulation per minute. There are 8 engines, of 650-horse power, with 31 boilers in use ; 127 men and 75 boys are employed ; 27 mules, 45 wagons and 3,500 yards of track are in use ; the average daily shipments are 400 tons. I found the general condition of the colliery in all its appointments very good. Cuyler (2 drifts) Colliery.— Operated by Heaton & Brothers, on the lands of Cuyler & Co. It consists of two drifts, opening the D and E veins, which are nearly flat workings off the gangway. Ventilation circulates into the E vein works and passes thence into the D works and returns to the fan outlet. I find this colliery not only secure but one of the best managed in the district. The coal in these seams is at least 35 feet thick, besides the company is working a counter level in the mine on both these veins. 33 breasts are open ; 5 engines, of 125-horse power, and 6 boilers are in use ; a 30-horse power fan is used for ventilation ; 160 men and 50 boys are employed ; 26 mules, 94 wagons and 4,600 yards of track are in use ; daily shipments, 450 tons. I am pleased to say the colliery is now in excellent condition. Preston, No. 3, Colliery, near Girardsville.— Owned and operated by the P. & R. G. (& /. Go. It consists of 2 slopes, one for coal and the other for drainage, men and material. The E vein is mined extensively^ here, and ventilation is considered fair ; the condition of all its appointments is very good. There are 127 men and 50 boys employed; 5 engines of 596-horse power, with 17 boilers, are used ; 4 mules and 45 wagons, with 1 50-horse power fan ; daily shipments will average — tons.
