330 Keports of the Inspectors of Mines. [Off. Doc. March, on account of some trouble between the land owners and the coid company. On my visit, March 2d, I measured 27,840 cubic feet of air g-oing- out at the outlet per minute. This quantity was fairly distributed, and the drainage was good. Mining--boss, John McYicker. Big Chief.—Important improvements have been made at this mine within the year, a furnace for ventilation was built, size of furnace, fire bed 7X8', length of arch 20 feet. The air shaft is 49 square feet. The average amount of air in circulation per minute was 15,387 cubic feet. A tail-rope system of haulage was erected, length of haul 3,400 feet, size of engine cylinders 12"x24", steam pressure sixty pounds, geared 61, main and tail ropes \". Mining-boss, H. D. Thomson. Carbon Mine.—This mine has been kept in a healthy condition with an average of 41,870 cubic feet of air going- in at the inlet per minute. The distribution was fairly attended too. A Yough pumji was put in to drain the mine. Size 20 " X 14 " X 48 ". Mining-boss, Joseph Weig-htman. Calumet Shaft.—This mine is in a healthy condition, with an averag-e of 41,053 cubic feet of air g"oing in at the inlet per minute. They have built two overcasts in order to do away with some of the doors on the main hauling- roads, and also to divide the current of air. There is now a fresh current of air sweeping the face of all the headings. The mine is lig-hted by locked safety lamps, no more "Black Strap" and "Carbon oil" torch lights to be seen, this is a wonderful improvement over the old system. The air is now pure all over the mine. Mining-boss, John Nicholson. Duquesne Mine.—This mine has been kept in a reasonable condition during the year. The average quantity of air in circulation was 16,155 cubic feet per minute. The drainage is fair. Mining-boss, Mark James. Dihvorth Mine.—The general condition of the mine is very reasonable. The average amount of air in circulation per minute was 12,710 cubic feet. Mining-boss, Thomas Whiteman. Denmark 3fine.—This mine has always been kept in very fair condition. On my last two visits the air current was too far away from the face and was not pro]:)erly distributed. The mine-boss g-ave as his rea- son for this state of aifairs, that he had been busy changing the hauling road, and he had to drive a considerable distance through the gob to make the chang-e, we should not alloAV anything to interfere with us, be- cause the question of ventilation is so important. There was 45,480 cubic feet of air per minute going- out at the outlet, this would give each person employed in the mine 170 cubic feet of air per minute if properly distributed. Mining--boss, Edmond Whiteman. Eureka Mine.—The general condition of the mine is fair, with an average of 18,777 cubic feet of air going out at the outlet per minute- The distribution of this volume is well attended to. Mining--boss' James Bay ley.
No. 12.] Second Bituminous District. 331 Emma Bline.—This mine has been kept fully up to the requirements of the law. The average quantity of air in circulation was 10,853 cubic feet per minute. The distribution was all ri^^ht. Minino--boss, Adam Whitehead. Greenshurg No. 1 Mine.—This mine has been kept in fair condition duriuo- the year. The averag-e quantity of air g-oing- out at the outlet per minute Avas 20,308 cubic feet. The distribution of this volume was fairly attended to. Mininof-boss, David Clark. Greenshurg No. '2.—This is a new mine, a drift opening-, situated about three miles south from Greenshurg-, Westmoreland county, on the Southwest Branch of the P. R. R. The mine is well opened; has two opening's well timbered, and it was the intention to sink an air-shaft and build a furnace at once. The improvements outside are tipple and an office. Twenty-eight persons were employed at the time of visit. Decem- ber 9. Mining--boss, John Mclntire. Hampton 3Iine.—This mine don't always g-et the attention it should have. There is always plenty of air at the outlet to g"ive each person employed in the mine nearly 200 cubic feet of air per minute if properly distributed. Mining--boss, Edg-ar Thompson. HeinpfieJd Slopo.—An air-shaft was sunk at this mine this year and a 12' fan erected. The fan was built by the Novelty Manufacturing- Com- pany of Irwin, from plans g-iven by A. N. Humphreys, mining- eng-ineer for the Westmoreland Coal Company'. The fan gives g-reat satisfaction. Since the fan has been erected I have measured on an average 51,000 cubic feet of air going in at the inlet per minute, nearly 468 cubic feet per minute for each person employed in the mine. A mining-boss that can't keep his mine well ventilated with that quantity of air should quit and go at something else. Mining-boss, Levi Ludwick. Hecla Nos. 1 and '2 Shafts. . No. 1 Shaft.—This mine is in good condition, with an average of 39,190 cubic feet of air going in at the inlet per minute. This volume is divided into two currents and well distributed through the mine. Mining-boss, William Dean. No. '2 Shaft.—The mine is ventilated at present with exhaust steam, which gives an average of 18,960 cubic feet of air per minute. This quantity is fairl}^ distributed through the mine. The company is erect- ing a 30' fan, which it will have ready in a short time. This will be the largest fan in the district. It has also built a neat pump-house. Miningboss, William Snedden. Mutual Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Mines. No. 1.—There was scarcely any work done in this mine during the year. No. 2.—This mine has been kept in a healthy condition, witli an aver-
