The above named twelve persons obtained certificates of competency at the examination held during the week commencing January 26, 1892. All received second-grade certificates except John Baird and John Morris, the two last named, they received certificates which entitled them to boss in any bituminous mine. The law requiring the aspirant for mine-boss to liold a " certificate of competency " has been the means of awakening the minds of many to the study of the science of mining, so that a subject that was knoAvn to only a few people previous to 1885, is now being acquired by hundreds in each mining district, and in consequence every examination has large numbers of applicants for certificates. There were in attendance at the Eighth district examination, January 2G, 1892, 52 applicants, 12 of them, or about 23 per cent., as named before were successful. Some venture the opinion that there are too many certificated men already in the field, that many of them being anxious for positions, offer
No. 12.] Eighth Bituminous Distkict. 489 their services sometimes by the day, at a rate very Httle above what is paid usually to inside company men. Y/hether this is true or not, I can- not say, but one thing- is certain the wages of mine-bosses are no higher now than they were previous to 1885, when a certificate was not required ; but as a rule the mine-bosses of the present day are certainly men of greater capabilities than those found in these positions previous to 1885. It is reasonable to suppose that men who have had the requisite practical experience, and have g-iven years of study asAvell, to the theory of mining, would be better men from the standpoint of economy and safety than men who have their own experience only to give, or men who have nothing but theory, or, in other words, the man who has both " practice and theory " is a better man than he who has but "practice " or "theory," and if he is a better man he ought to be worth more money. The claim of some operators therefore that certificated men are " book learned " men and are in consequence poor bosses is based upon truth, but operators expect too much from mine-bosses. They expect them to be first-class miners, good track-layers, drivers, blacksmiths, carpenters, weigh bosses and clerks, that they should be g-ood mining- engineers. That their knowledge of pumps and ma- chinerj'^ should be perfect ; they are expected to be able to select from a drove, a mule that will give entire satisfaction, and to know that the grain and hay bought for the stock is first-class; they are expected to understand human nature thoroughly, for, as a rule, they are responsible for the conduct of the men they hire, and if the mine-boss does not come up to these requirements, he is no good. Oftentimes the real du- ties of the mining-bosses are performed by some one else, while they are making themselves the slaves of the operators by attempting to fill the places of a half dozen men. The Inspector sometimes finds him laying track, dumping coal, oiling cars, picking- slate, breaking- in green mules, and at doing- other such jobs, instead of attending- to the proper working of the mine, looking well after the ventilation and drainage of the same, and the safety of the men employed therein. He should consider that the law holds him responsible for these things, and not for doing- jobs that the company should pay other men for. While the mine-boss who has but few men to look after, maj^ be of much service to his employer in making himself generally useful, he should not devote his entire attention to any one job for any length of time, for while he may be thus eng-aged something- may occur which would cost the company much more than the value of the labor he performs. Just how to ascertain by an examination whether or not a man will make a good mining-boss, is something that the examining boards have not yet ascertained, for with a written examination, as the law requires, it is impossible to find any thingout concerning- a man's executive ability. Greater discretion should be g-iven the board, so that they may find out in their own way if the
