Book Description
Excerpt from Reports of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite Coal Regions of Pennsylvania: For the Year 1876 Sir - I herewith submit my Fourth Annual Report as Inspector of Coal Mines for the Third or Shamokin district, for the year ending December 31, 1876, as required by act of Assembly of 1870, giving my report on the general condition of collieries in this district; also the number of fatal and non-fatal accidents during the year, given in tabular form, with remarks on the character of the same. I also report the number of steam engines, boilers, steam and pole pumps, fans, &e., and number of men employed, with number of tons of coal mined and sent to market, and estimated amount of coal consumed at collieries and by employees. It has been customary to report each colliery in detail in former years. This custom has been dispensed with this year as being monotonous and not imparting any new information other than that given in tabular forms, except such collieries where improvements have been made during the year or new ones opened.
