Slope, No. 1.—Sunk on the south dip of the Buck Mountain or B vein, at an angle of about 24^°, a distance of 365 feet, vertical 181 feet. The top or mouth of the slope is 1,807 feet above mid-tide, and at the bottom of the same 1,626 feet. The vein is about 12 feet thick, and the coal of superior quality. The east gangway has been driven 1,400 feet and the west gangway 5,460 feet, with 19 breasts working. Those breasts are opened 36 feet wide, leaving a pillar of 18 feet for the support of the superincumbant strata. Slope, No. 2.—Sunk on the same dip of. the same vein, at an angle of about 32°, a distance of 455 feet. Elevation above mean tide at top of slope, 1,787 feet ; at the bottom, 1,547 feet ; perpendicular depth of slope, 240 feet. The east gangway has been driven 2,400 feet, with 13 breasts working, and the west gangway 4,600 feet, with 41 breasts working. There is a counter gangway about midway in the slope, and the hoisting from the bottom and the counter is done by having the hoisting drum of different diameter, and works to perfection. They have 49,094 feet of T iron track in and ab©ut Nos. 1 and 2 slope, and 187 mine car.^, with a breaker capacity of 800 tons of coal per day. The one breaker prepares the coal from both slopes.

They shipped during the year ending December 31, 1875, 114,812.18 tons of coal, and used 1,882 kegs of mining powder, and worked 142 days. Ventilation.—This is produced by a 12-feet diameter ventilating fan. Whenever the fan gets out of repairs the mines arc ventilated by exhaust steam from the pump. The air is conducted to the face of the gangway bjmeans of bratticing along the side of the gangways, as the vein will not admit of an airway being driven in solid coal owing to the irregularity of the^pitch of the vein, &c. They have doors wherever required, and they close of their own accord. The}' have a traveling way for men to travel 9 Mine Rep.
