The usual tables and description of the mines will also be found in another joart of this report All of which is respectfully submitted. Description of Mines. Thomas K. Adams, Inspector. Mines in Armstrong and Clarion Counties Situated on the Allegheny Valley Railroad. There are ten mines in operation along- this railroad, but the greater number of them are of small capacity. Glen is a small operation, only giving- employment to about twenty-six employes. The ventilation is still being produced by natural forces. The quantity of air in circulation was about double the amount required by the ventilation act. In Kittanning mine there are about thirty persons einployed, and at date of last visit there was an average quantity of air in circulation near face of workings of 19,000 cubic feet. Tlie mine had not been operated very steadily during the year. The workings were in a healthful and safe condition. Gosford mine is not of much importance owing to the coal territory being of small extent and but few persons were employed. At date of last visit the drainage was defective and the ventilation would have been much better if the details of the ventilating system had been attended to- Rimerton is a small mine. The drainage on part of miiin hauling road was becoming defective but the ventilation was good. The inclined plane outside, over which the product of the mine is conveyed to the tipple is in very poor condition.
No. 12.] Thihd Bituminous District. 359 Riverview is now the larg-est mine in tliis part of the district. Tlie company shut down the mine for four or five months during" the year for the purpose of making- extensive repairs. A new tipple has been built, a double-tracked inclined plane on an angle of thirty-seven degrees and 000 feet long has been constructed, a new drift mouth or entrance into the mine has been made. A new haulage road from drift mouth to the inside woi'ks for the purpose of introducing the tail-rope system of haulage is about completed. The contemplated improvements to the ventilating system at date of my last visit had not yet been completed, consequently the ventilation was not what it should have been in some parts of the mine. Monarch mine at date of last visit was in very good condition. I measured more than a lawful quantity of air in circulation at face of works. Mineral Ridge mine was well ventilated and drainage good. Hardscrabble mine was not in operation at date of the last two visits, but it seemed to be in very fair condition. Church Hill is a small operation. Had not enough air in circulatioD, but an air shaft had just been sunk, at which the company intend building a furnace which will afford ample ventilation for such a mine. Mines located on Low Grade Division and Sligo Branch of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. There are ten mines situated on this railroad. Oak Ridge No. 1 or what is known as the old drift was up to the requirements of the law in regard to ventilation and di'ainage. The company operating Oak Ridge mine has opened two more new ones about a half mile west of the old works. One is opened in the Lower Freeport coal bed and the other in the Upper Freeport seam, directly over the workings of the lower mine. There is an intervening thickness of strata of about sixty feet between the two coal seams. These new works are connected with the old mine tipple by an inclined plane of about seven thousand four hundred feet in length. The plane is only single track and the cable used on it is seven-eighths of an inch thick, steel wire. The grade up the plane from tipple for 4,100 feet in length is two feet in one hundred. Beyond this point and over a trestle work of three hundred feet in length the grade is three and one-half feet in one hundred and from thence to the upper part of plane to lower seam the grade is seven and seven-tenths feet in one hundred. The yard or siding for the loAver seam is three hundred feet long with a grade of two feet to the one hundred. The plane connecting the upper with the lower coal seam is one thousand feet long and has a grade of six feet to the one hundred. The siding at upper seam has a grade of two feet to the one hundred and is three hundred feet in length. The mine wagons used at these mines have wheels sixteen inches in
