TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT.

Statistics of Coal in Illinois for the Year Ending June
30, 1908.

Coal in Illinois.

INTRODUCTORY.

During the year closing with this report the volume of coal production
reached its highest point in the history of mining in Illinois.

Up to this time there has been a steady annual increase particularly
since the revival of industry in 1897.

Present appearances however, indicate that a reaction has set in, the
effects of which will be noticable in the succeeding report, not alone in
the matter of production, but, what is equally if not more important, in
values as well.

With a mining equipment easily equal to twice the demands of the
market, the natural ambition to get business has resulted in the almost
complete demoralization of prices on contract coal. The statement can
be made safely and confidently that never before was coal sold to the
great consumers at a price so near if not in some instances below, the
actual cost of production. In addition to general wasteful methods we
are robbing a valuable future inheritance and yielding up, without ade-
quate return, an essential element of present and future power.

What a ridiculous commentary it is npon modern business sense when
we are- compelled to admit that the larger the concern the less it has to
pay for what it needs — that values are not based on worth or the labor
required in their production, but on the size of the concerns with which
we do business and the extent of the orders they may grant. A great
railroad or other corporation lets a contract for 100,000 tons of coal and
it is filled at one dollar per ton or less; the private household consumer
requiring twenty, thirty or fifty tons per annum is charged $3.50 or $3.00
per ton delivered. The local trade is taxed for the benefit of the big
consumers. If the larger buyers continue to dodge their share of the
costs, the little ones must make good the difference.

2 STATISTICS OF LABOR.

A business that taxes most, those who can least afford it, is not con-
ducted on the priucijjle of the Golden Kule and its failure is but a ques-
tion of time, if the transportation interests have not secured too strong
a grip on the coal mining industry of the country, it is possible to reor-
ganize the business on a basis that will insure justice to all; a reasonable
and uniform charge for an indispensible commodity; a fair return on
the capital invested, and liberal wages for all classes of men engaged in
the occupation. Instead of wasting brain tissue in the foolish attempt
to get business at no-profit prices, better devise a plan that would dis-
tribute charges by withdrawing favors to great consumers, put all in re-
spect to prices, on an equality, and the cost to the average consumer
would be less, profits and wages could be increased while the necessities
created by the present unbusinesslike system, which puts everybody at
the mercy of some one else, would immediately cease to exist. It is a
consideration devoutedly to be wished, and its promise will not be realized
until some of the power now wasted in mere quibbling over details is ap-
plied in a practical manner that will put the industry on a safe paying
basis without oppressing or treating unfairly, any legitimate interest.
It is impossible to make the small class of consumers believe, many of
whom live in the coal regions, that the average reported value of coal at
the mines is but a fraction in excess of $1.00 per ton, neither can they
understand why they should be selected for discrimination in the matter
of prices compared with the favored rates granted the great consumers.

Under the prevailing system, if it is permissible to speak of it as such,
there is valid ground for the double complaint; first, on the part of the
smaller consumers that they are compelled to pay excessive prices for
fuel ; and second, on the part of the mine owners that, figuring on the '
prices at which the entire output is sold, there is but little if anything
in the business for them. So dangerously close has the margin become,
that any change in the way of legislation or otherwise designed to further
protect employes, if it adds to the cost of production in a degree however
insignificant, is followed by a threat to close the mines. When an in-
dustry reaches a point where the men who have their money invested
feel more secure with their property idle than in operation, the time has
certainly arrived to test the sanity of present business methods.

The total product for the year was 49,273,452 tons, of which amount
the 407 commercial mines furnished 47,809,730 tons, and the 515 local
mines, 1,462,722 tons, representing about the usual ratio between the
shipping and local mines. There were employed in every capacity in and
about the mines 70,841 men, of which number 46,194 were miners em-
ployed in the shipping mines, an average of 191 days during the year and
producing 1,035 tons per miner.

More than one-third of the entire tonnage was cut by machines. Not-
withstanding an unfavorable machine mining rate the quantity of coal
secured through the use of machines continues to steadily increase. Nat-
urally with an increased macliine tonnage the quantity of powder used
in blasting would decrease proportionately. The figures show the re-
verse to be true and that while the machine tonnage for this year com-

COAL IN ILLINOIS. O

pared with last, increased 719,969 tons, there was an increase of 66,544
kegs in the quantity of powder consumed or an average of thirty-four tons
of coal to each keg of powder.

The coal miners attribute the increase to the fact that powder is
cheaper than formerly and therefore inferior in strength. The powder
companies insist that there has been no change either in the composition
of the product or in the process of its manufacture. It would seem un-
necessary to seriously consider either of these claims, but where the facts
show that it requires the consumption in solid shooting mines of nearly
one pound of powder for every ton of coal produced, the results cannot
be considered in any other way than as a condemnation of existing
methods. In the thick coal seams of the State, furnishing 73.3 per cent
of the total product used, and the ratio will continue to increase, powder
or some other explosive equally powerful, will be necessary in the process
of extracting coal, whether it is undercut before shootng or not. The
question therefore resolves itself to the simple proposition, whether hav-
ing in view the conservation of life and property, we shall continue to
commit to incompetent and careless hands, the use of dangerous ex-
plosives, or provide, either by statute or mutual agreement, that only men
specially educated and trained for such work shall be employed, whose
exclusive duty it shall be to drill holes, charge and fire same. In com-
menting on this question in the 1906 coal report in which such a plan
was recommended, reference was made to the great and unnecessary ex-
pense entailed in the present promiscuous use of powder. On the as-
sumption that fully one-half of the powder consumed was practically
wasted, a loss that could be avoided under the proposed plan, in addition
to the saving of lives and the production of a better quality of coal, it
was estimated that nearly one million dollars could be saved annually to
the minei-s.

So terrific have been some of the explosions in our coal mines, that, had
they occurred while the usual complement of men were at work, not a
single life would have been spared. It was the consideration of such a
possibility that induced the Legislature to create the shot firers law,
effective July 1, 1905. That law was, and is, subject to the fair criti-
cism that it transferred the responsibility from the man who prepared
the improper shot to the man whose duty it now is to fire the shot. The
friends of that law could do no other than admit the truth and force of
such an objection, but in answer thereto, set up the justifiable plea that
if the lives of the men had to be sacrificed in such work it was the part of
wisdom to expose the least number possible to the deadly fury of the
blast.

Taking the years from 1903 to 1908, inclusive, three years preceding
and three years succeeding the enactment of the shot firers law, it is
found that the loss of life directly due to the use of powder is nearly
forty per cent less during the three year period that the law has been in
operation, during which time there has been a very material increase both
in the tonnage and in the number of men employed.

It was the intention of the law to protect the shot firer in his refusal
to fire shots which in his judgment, were dangerous.

4 STATISTICS OF LABOR.

The causes from which many shot firers have lost their lives, indicate
either that many of them were selected without considering their qualifi-
cations for such employment, or that their judgment was defective. No
matter what the cause, whether bad judgment on the part of the shot
firers, or undue haste in the discharge of their duties; or a desire not to
offend miners whose shots were not properly located or prepared, the taw
has not been given a fair trial.

The deaths in most instances resulted from the firing of dead holes
which is strictly forl)idden by the law.

If the enforcement of the law had l^een entrusted only to men par-
ticularly equipped for that kind of work, the percentage of loss would
have been considerable less.

Of the twenty-nine fatalities reported this year as a result of using
power, fourteen were shot firers, and fifteen miners, seven of the miners
lost their lives in an ignorant and unlawful effort to prepare shots, which
is an additonal reason why some plan should be adopted that would en-
tirely divorce the present class of miners from all connection with deadly
explosives.

In the general classification of fatal accidents by causes appearing in
table seventy-nine it is noted that of the 183 fatal accidents this year,
one-half, or 49.7 per cent resulted from falling roof and coal at the work-
ing faces of rooms and entries. Mine cars account for thirt^'-five or six
more than to the use of powder.

No amount of legislation can make absolutely safe the business of coal
mining. The occupation, by its very nature, is hazardous, and accidents
from one cause or another will continue to occur.

In respect to the accidents resulting from falling slate and coal many
of them are due to carelessness and therefore preventable.

The statement that "familiarity breeds contempt" is as true of danger
as of other things. Men whose occupations expose them to a certain
class of known risks, become indifferent and are willing at all times to
take^-hances. It is this association wath dangers and the natural disposi-
tion of men that swells the totals of our casualty lists. As a means of
protecting men from themselves, it has become the custom recently in
certain coal mining districts for companies to employ what is known as
face bosses, whose duty it is to visit men while at work and when they
note any dangerous places, to insist upon the miners propping them with-
out delay. A very material reduction in the customary' number of ac-
cidents from such causes in those districts has resulted, and the general
adoption of such a practice in the State, would doubtless have a most
salutary effect. Men who have followed the business of coal mining,
know how natural it is for those wdio while fully advised of a bad rock,
in their eagerness to complete some other work, wall defer propping -^t
only to be caught in its fall later on. If it only cripples him, he becomes
a charge upon his family and friends during recovery, if it proves fatal
a widow and perhaps a number of orphan children suffer and pay the
penalty of parental carelessness.

This volume presents the twenty-seventh annual report of the bureau
concerning the coal mining industry of the State, and is for the year

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 5

ending June 30, 1908. The different tables following- bring to view the
many features of the industry, all of which are drawn from the reports
of the ten State Inspectors of Mines. These reports are compiled by the
inspectors from schedules secured from every operator in the State, and
are therefore the most reliable information obtainal)le. The presenta-
tions are similar, in every respect, to those to be found in the reports of
previous years. So that comparisons can be readily made of all the
different features shown. A summary is presented of the most important
subjects considered ; these are derived from the reports of the inspectors.

Fifty-four counties are reported this year as producing coal ; this is one
county less than reported last year. Jersey county reporting no coal
mined. The number of mines in operation was 923, this is eleven less
than last year, this number comprises four shipping mines and seven local
mines, and ninety-six less than reported for 1906.

The mitput of coal was 49,272,452 tons, an increase over last 3^ear of
1,473,831 tons, or 3.1 per cent. This small increase is accounted for,
partly at least, by the almost entire suspension of mining at shipping
mines during the month of April, pending the settlement of mining
prices, and other matters, between the miners and operators for the ensu-
ing two years.

The output of the shipping mines of the State during the month of
April was only 140,640 tons, while the average monthly output for the
other eleven months was 4,333,553 tons ; so that, had normal operations
continued throughout the year, the total output would have been about
fifty-four million tons. The aggregate home value of the total product at

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 7

the mines was $50,989,083.00, giving an average value per ton of $1,035
for all grades of coal ; the average value per ton, all grades, last year was
$1,037.

The number of persons employed increased 6.3 per cent, wholly at the
shipping mines, and mainly of miners proper. The total tonnage of the
shipping mines, loaded on cars at the mines for transportation to the
markets, was 43,558,055 tons, this was 91.1 per cent of the total output
of all grades of this class of mines; this tonnage shipped from the mines
exceeded that of last year by one and a half million tons.

Machine cutting of coal shows an increase of over seven hundred
thousand tons more than was cut last year, this increase was wholly in
mines wliere the coal is cut exclusively by machines. The number of
machines in use in this class of mines was 754, an increase of six ma-
chines over last year, and the largest number ever reported. The total
number of machines in use this year was 1,160, this is fifty-five machines
more than was reported last year. The total tons cut by machines was
15,210,433; this is over thirty per cent of the total tons produced, and is
about the same proportion as shown for last year.

Notwithstanding the efforts made by operators and miners to reduce
the prodigal use of powder in the mines; the number of kegs used the
past year was 1,338,454, an increase of 66,544 kegs, or five per cent more
than was used last year, and over twenty-nine per cent more than was
used in 1906. Each keg of powder contains twenty-five pounds, which
applied to the total number of kegs used during the past year equals 33,-
311,350 pounds, or 16,606 tons of powder exploded in the coal mines of
the State. To further illustrate the excessive use of powder in mining
coal in this State it is shown that the shipping mines, in which ninety-
seven per cent of the powder is used, were in operation an average of
191 days. Applying this number of days to the total pounds of powder
used, gives 173,881 pounds or eighty-seven tons of powder consumed
every working day in our coal mines during the past year.

The agreed price of powder per keg to the miners is $1.75 this gives
•an aggregate of $3,334,794.00 paid by the miners for powder during the
year.

The number of men killed in the mines during the past year was 183,
this is eighteen more than reported last year, and exceeds in number that
of any previous year, with the exception of the year 1895, when fifty
men lost their lives in one accident at the Zeigler mine in Franklin
county. The number of men reported as injured, so as to lose thirty or
more days time, was 819, this is 147 more than reported for any previous
year.

The ratio of total accidents for the year, was 3.6, and for non-fatal
11.6 to each 1,000 persons employed.

Classification of Mines.

The same order is observed here, in presenting the -statistics of the coal
mines of the State, as followed in former reports. The two classes of
mines, shipping and local, are shown separately and combined as a total
for all mines.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Table 1 shows, in condensed form, by districts, the total number of
mines, men and tons, also the same for shipping and local mines. The
output of shipping mines was 1,372,891 tons more than last year, while
local mines decreased in output 100,940 tons. The mines of the sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth districts produced 73.3 per cent of the
total tonnage of the State.

Table 2 j^resents the percentages of the distribution of all mines, men
and tons as to districts, also the percentages of the mines, men and tons
of the shipping and local mines represented in each district, and the sim-
ilar percentages for the State.

The shipping mines represent only 44.14 per cent of the whole number
in the State, but employed 95.24 per cent of the men and produced 97.03
per cent of the tonnage.

In the ninth district 83.58 per cent of the mines were of the shipping
class, employing 98.83 per cent of the men and producing 99.19 per cent
of the coal. These are the largest percentages shown for any district.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Table 3 shows by districts, also for the State, the totals of mines, men
and tons, for the years 1907 and 1908, with the increase or decrease of
each item. The lii-st, second, fourth, fifth and eighth districts show a
decrease of thirty-four in the number of mines; the third, seventh and
tenth districts give an increase of twenty-three, leaving a net decrease
for the State of eleven mines. The fifth district alone accounts for
fifty-three per cent of this decrease. The first, second and fifth districts
report a decrease in the number of men, all the other districts give an in-
crease. The total increase for the State being 4,127 men. The seventh
and tenth districts represent seventy-seven per cent of this increase. The
first, second, fifth and eighth districts show a decrease in output com-
pared with last year. The fifth district represents 43.66 per cent of the
decrease. The seventh, ninth and tenth districts show large increases in
tonnage ; however, the increase in output for the State is only three per
cent over last year.

Table 5 presents the totals of mines, men and tons of ifll mines, with
the division as to shipping and local mines, for a period/of sixteen j-ears.
The number of men reported this j-ear as working in aim about the mines
of the State is just twofold of the number sixteen v^rs ago. The num-
ber of persons employed at the shipping mines b(<s increased during the
same time 135 per cent. The number repor^ at local mines has de-
creased nearly fifty per cent, while the tonsy^'oduced by local mines has
increased 111 per cent, and the output o^hipping mines has increased
148 per cent.

Groupixg of Mines by Output.

Table 7 is a grouping of mines by output of coal ranging from mines
producing less than 1,(J00 tons, to mines whose output is 200,000 tons
and over.

Dividing this grouping into two classes ; first, mines producing 50,000
tons and over; second, mines producing less than 50,000 tons. The first
class is represented by 272 or thirty per cent of the mines and had an
output of 44,504,789 or ninety per cent of the tonnage; with an average
of 163,621 tons to each mine. The second class had 650 or seventy per
cent of the mines with an output of 4,767,663 or ten per cent of the
tonnage and an average of only 7,335 tons to each mine.

Table 11 gives the percentages of the different classes of mines for the
whole number shown in table 10. The number of mines nroducing less
than 50,000 tons, during the year shown, has only increased thirteen per
cent while the number of mines producing over 50,000 tons has increased
309.4 per cent. This year 70.5 per cent of the mines produced less than
50,000 tons, and 29.5 per cent had an output of over 50,000 tons.

Table 15 is a list of eighty-two operators, and the location of their
mines; each of which had an output of more than 200,000 tons. In ad-
dition, the number of days of active operation is given ; the depth of the
coal below the surface, the thickness of the several seams, and the
manner of mining the coal.

The total output of these mines for the year was 24,192,665 tons, or,
49.1 per cent of the total output of the State. The average to each mine
is 295,033 tons. In this list there are three classes of mines, working
under different methods, viz., machine mining exclusively, hand mining
exclusively, and both hand and machine mining. There are twenty-six
machine mines producing an average of 359,312 tons, or 38.6 per cent of
the total ; fort3^-eight hand mines producing an average of 259,469 tons
or 51.5 per cent, and eight mines, both hand and machine, with an aver-
age of 299,381 tons, or 9.9 per cent. These mines averaged 213 days.

COAL IN ILLINOIS.

Avhich gives an average daily output to each mine of 1,362 tons. Five of
the mines in this list produced over 500,000 tons, seven over 400,000 and
sixteen over 300,000.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Table 16 gives the number of mines and tonnage of the large mines of
the State, divided into three classes, with the total number of mines and
tons of these classes, for a series of thirteen years.

Considering the totals of the three classes for the years shown the
number of mines increased 148 or 119.4 per cent, the. tons produced in-
creased 28,935,150 or 185.8 per cent. In 1896, the first year shown in
the table, these mines represented 14.4 per cent of all mines in the State,
but produced 78.6 per cent of the coal. This year these mines stand for
28.5 per cent of all mines, and produced 90.3 per cent of the total output.

Table 22 is a list of the 40T shipping mines, with the names of the
operators, the number and location of the mines managed by each, the
total output of the mines at each location, with the distribution of the
products. The totals of each item are shown in the first line at the head
of the table.

The total output of this class of mines is over ninety-seven per cent
of the total output of all mines in the State. The tons loaded on cars,
at the mines for shipment was 91.1 per cent of the total output, leaving
8.9 per cent disposed to locomotives at the mines, sold to local trade and
used for all purposes at the mines.

The Consolidated Coal Company which has held first place in this
classification for many years is displaced this year, by the O'Gara Coal
Company, with fourteen mines having an output of 2,120,141 tons.

Eight of these owners or operators control fifty-one or 12.5 per cent of
this class of mines, each showing an output of over one million tons, the
aggregate of which 23.7 per cent of the total of the 407 mines. These
same companies shipped from their mines ninety-four per cent of their
product, equaling 24.4 per cent of the total shipped by all mines.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

MiNES^ Men and Tons,

Table 28 is the record of the number of counties producing coal, and all
mines, men and tons for twenty-seven j^ears. The tonnage is shown in
lump and other grades, with the percentages of each for the past nineteen
years. This year shows an increase in tonnage of over 110 per cent, com-
pared with that of ten years ago. The tonnage of lump coal reported
shows a slight decline during the past five years, and a corresponding in-
crease of other grades.

STATISTICS OF LABOR,

Table 31 shows the percentages of coal produced in each district during
each month of the fiscal year. At the foot of the table the nercontages are
shown for each month of the year, also for the two previous years. The
largest monthly j)er cent of the output for this 3'ear was for March, and
naturally so, as a suspension of opeMtions April 1, was anticipated pend-
ing a new agreement between miners and operators.

Aside from the output in March, the highest per cent for the year was
reached in October, followed closely by the output in November and
December. These three months accounting for thirty-two per cent of the
total output for this year.

Haulage in Mines.

Table 33 shows for the shipping mines, by districts, the different
methods of delivering the coal to the bottom of the mines. The number
of mines using motor haulage this year was eightj^-eight, this is thirteen
or 17.3 per cent more than last year, the number of motors in use was
185, this is fifty-six or 43.4 per cent more than last year. The power
used in the 407 shipping mines for hauling the coal, and the tons hauled
the past 3'ear was, by motors, 21.6 per cent of the mines and 39.8 per cent
of the coal; by cable, 7.9 per cent of the mines and 6.8 per cent of the
coal; by mules, 69.5 per cent of the mines and 53.3 per cent of the coal;
by hand one per cent of the mines and one tenth of 1 per cent of the
coal.

Table 34 gives a list of the mines and location by districts, in which
motor haulage is employed, also the number and name of motors in use,
and the tons hauled at each mine.

Of the eighty-eight mines in which motors have been installed 71.6 per
cent are located in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth districts; of the
185 motors in use 130 or 70.3 per cent were employed in the same dis-
tricts, and hauled 75.8 per cent of the coal. Table 35 presents the num-
ber and kind of motors in use. There are nine different styles of these
machines. The number of motors in use this year was 185, this is fifty-
six or 43.4 per cent more than last year; of the total number in use the
past year 178 were electric, four condensed air and three gasoline.

shown in the reports of the bureau, as hauling a greater tonnage than any
other road. For this year it took coal from 108 mines located in twenty-
two of the coal producing counties: For shipment 7,759,163 tons, for
locomotives, suplied at the mines, 389,911 tons, making a total of 8,149,-
074 tons. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois has second place as to quan-
tity of coal hauled ; the largest tonnage taken from any one county, was
3,344,979 tons hauled by the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis
road from Saline county.

COAL IN ILMNOIS.

85

Table 43 is a recapitulation of table 43, giving the number of counties
from which coal is taken by each of the thirty-six roads, two of which
are electric roads, the number of mines from which coal is delivered, the
tons received for shipment, and for locomotives, and the total tons hauled
for each road.

Eleven of these roads each transported over one million tons aggregat-
ing 32,289,279 tons or seventy-four per cent of the total tons delivered
to all the roads. The same roads received, for locomotives, at the mines,
673,102 tons, or sixty-seven per cent of all the tons taken for this purpose.

Table 44 is a list of forty-one counties from which was drawn the coal
transported to market as shown in table 42. The arrangement of the
table is by counties supplying the largest tonnage for shipment. William-
son, Sangamon, St. Clair, Macoupin, Madison and Vermilion hold the
same positions in the list as last year. These six counties supplied 53.5
per cent of the total tons delivered to the railroads for shipment.

Days of Active Operation.

Table 46 shows the average number of working days, in connection with
the number of mines, men and tons, at all mines and for both shipping
and local mines, in the several districts, for the past year. The record of
the shipping mines shows substantially the true conditions as to men em-
ployed and days worked. The number of men employed in these mines
represent over ninety-five per cent of all employes, the average working
time was 191 days.

Value of Coal per Ton.

Table 48 presents for shipping mines, and by districts, the total tons,
all grades, and the average value per ton at the mines for the past four
years. The last line of the table gives the tons and value of the local
mines. The value per ton of the different grades of coal, was not secured
from operators this year, in addition to the value of all grades. The value
of the several grades, as heretofore shown in these reports, is therefore
omitted this year. However, the following table, gives, by districts, the
total tons, of shipping mines, all grades, and the average value per ton
at the mines, for the past four years. These average values are derived
from the total tonnage and the aggregate value as returned by the oper-
ators.

It Avill be noticed that, in the several districts, there is only slight vari-
ations of these values, as shown this year, compared with the three pre-
vious years. For the State, the values are substantially identical for the
four years.

The change as to the several grades of coal, as stated, eliminates from
this report, the showing of the tons of lump coal and value per ton as
given in former reports for twenty-six years.

Prices Paid for Mining,

Table 52 presents, by districts, the tons mined by hand and by machine.
The average prices per ton for both hand and machine mining are found
by computations, applying the price paid per ton to the total tons pro-
duced, at each individual mine. There are several different rates for hand
mining under the agreement between the miners and operators, in each
district. The different rates are brought to a level average for each dis-
trict and for the State by this reckoning as stated.

Earnings of Miners.

Table 54 presents the earnings in shipping mines where the coal is
mined strictly by hand. The computations shown in the table are based
on the number of miners in each mine, employed during the year, the
number of days each mine was in operation, the tons of coal produced by
each mine, and the price paid per ton at each mine for mining the coal.
Therefore the results arrived at are approximately correct.

Machine Mining.

Table 55 presents, by districts, the number of mines, men, machines
and tons, in mines where machines are used exclusively, and the number
of mines, machines and tons, where only a part of the coal is cut by
machines. Mining coal by machine is confined, almost exclusively, to the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth districts.

Table 56 presents the record of machine mining for the past nine years.
The number of mines in which the coal is mined exclusively by machines,
is the same as last year, the tons cut increased eight per cent. The num-
ber of mines where only part of the coal is cut by machines increased over
last year by four, the number of machines forty-nine, but there was a de-
crease of over 90,000 tons in the coal produced.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Powder Used in Mines.

Table 62 shows, by districts, all mines of the State botli shipping and
local in which powder is used for blasting the coal. All employes are in-
cluded in the number of men. Comparing each item of the table with
those of last year, it is found that the number of mines increased three
per cent, men 7.8 per cent, kegs of powder 5.3 per cent and tons of coal
7.3 per cent. Directing attention to the number of tons of coal reduced
by powder in the mines of the State, and the number of men employed
during the past year, it is found that this tonnage amounts to 91.7 per
cent of the total product for the year, and 84.6 per cent of all employes.

The powder cost the men $2,334,795.00 or $38.78 to each person em-
ployed. The same showing is made for the eight previous years.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Tables 64, 65 and 66, show by districts, the use of powder in three
classes of shipping mines. Table 64 gives the record where the coal is
mined by hand. In these mines, each miner used an average of 38.7 kegs,
ever}^ keg of powder producing 25.1 tons of coal.

Table 65 is the record of mines where machines are used exclusively
for cutting the coal. In this class of mines, each miner used 15.6 kegs
of powder, which gave him 93.6 tons of coal to every keg.

Table 66 is a list of mines where coal is mined both by hand and ma-
chine. In this class the result is 27.1 kegs of powder to each man, and
45.7 tons to each keg.

Blasting Dowx Coal in the Mines.

Table 68 presents, by districts, the mauher of mining coal in shipping
mines. Of the 407 shipping mines, 375 or ninety-two per cent are repre-
sented in this table. Blasting coal from the solid is followed in all of the
districts embracing 350 or 66.7 per cent of all the mines, and producing

55.7 per cent of the tonnage. In seven of the districts, seventy-eight or

20.8 per cent of the mines, the coal was undercut before blasting reducing

28.9 per cent of the tons. Both of the named methods prevailed in forty-
seven or 12.5 per cent of the mines yielding 15.3 per cent of the output.

COAL IN ILLINOIS.

PHYSICAL CHAEACTERISTICS OF THE COAL MINES OF
THE STATE, 1908.

The bureau is indebted to those in charge and conducting the present
State Geological Survey of the State, as well as to the State Inspector of
Mines, for a careful review and revision of numbering of the geological
seams of coal heretofore published in these reports. The changes agreed
upon and made in the numbering of the different seams are shown in
the following table. The changes shown include only those which are
considered reasonably certain. Other changes have been made by the
State Inspectors which do not appear in this table, but may be found in
table 74 following where the location of every mine in the State is shown,
by counties. Further changes may be made as the work of the survey pro-
gresses. The most notable as well as the most important change shown
is that of all of the mines in Williamson county, giving these mines as
being No. 6 seam instead of No. 7. The State Geologists say in their
report as to this county, "This change will doubtless surprise some of the
operators since the Williamson county coal is higher grade than No. 6
to the northwest. The correlation of this seam is clearly demonstrated,
however, by boring records collected this summer," 1908. The table is
arranged by counties, giving the location of each mine also designating
each mine by the name of the operator as shown in the coal report of
1907.

In parallel columns appear the number of the coal seams, shown as
old and new, the old numbering refers to the number as heretofore pub-
lished in the coal reports of the bureau, and corresponded with the num-
bers given in the report of the first Geological Survey of Illinois.

Tlie new numbers are those given by the present survey, as herein
stated.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Table 7i presents valuable information concernino- the coal fields of
the State ; the shoAving is l)otli instnictive and important to those who may
be interested as to the formations of the rich coal seams that underlie
the greater portion of the surface of the territory within the bounds of
our State.

The table is presented by counties, alphabetically arranged, giving the
name of the operator and the location of ever\^ coal mine in the State.
The geological number of the seam at each locality has been changed
agreeing with the corrected numbering shown in table 73. The inform-
ation as to the coal, is the geological number of the seam in each locality,
the depth of the coal below the surface, the thickness of the seam, the
excavation by which the coal is reached, the power used in bringing the
c-oal to the surface and the method or plan l)y which the coal is mined.
The other items of the table are the power employed to bring the coal
from the face of the workings to the cage to l)e hoistt'd, the manner of
reducing the coal in the mine and finally the number of tons brought to
the surface from each mine.

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

Fatal Accidents.

Table 76 gives by districts, the number of deaths caused by accidents
in and around the coal mines of the State during the past year, also where
the men were employed, whether above or underground, the number oi
employes, the tons mined, the number of employes and the tons of coal
to each death and the ratio per 1,000 employed. The number killed was
183, this is eighteen or 10.9 per cent more than reported last year. The
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth districts account for 63.3 per cent oi
the whole number killed.

The fourth district shows a much lower death rate than either of the
others, consequently by far. the greatest number of tons to each life lost.

Table 77 presents for a series of twenty-six years, the number killed,
with the averages of men and tons, also the number of employes and tons
to each life lost and the ratio of the killed to each 1,000 employed. The
total number of men killed during the twenty-six years, was 3,407 or an
average of ninety-three to each year. The average number employed for
each year was 39,665. The total output of coal mined was 600,015,492
tons, giving an average of .23,077,519 tons for each year. The number
of employes to each life lost for the same period was 428 and the tons
mined was 2^9,279.

The ratio of men killed to 1,000 employed was 2.6 for this year and
2.3 for the series of years.

Table 79 shows by districts, a list of twenty-one causes resulting in the
death of the 183 employes during the year. Of the twenty-seven deaths
from falling coal, all excepting one in the first district, occurred in the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth. Combining the number of deaths
caused by falling coal, rock, clod and slate, gives a total of ninety-one or
49.7 per cent of all the deaths, while pit cars killed thirty-five or 19.1
per cent of the total number. The five causes here named caused 68.8
per cent of all the deaths.

STATISTICS OF LABOE,

Table 80 gives the number killed in the coal mines of the State for
twenty-one 3'ears. The table is arranged to show the number of deaths
each year resulting from seven leading causes all of which are inseparably
connected with the mining of coal. The explosions occuring in the mines
this year, caused directly or indirectly from the use of powder, such as
blasts, blown out shots, gas, or careless handling of powder, etc., number
thirt}--six or 19.7 per cent of the whole number killed. Denominating
these as one cause, and adding all others shown under the heading, con-
stitute the seven leading causes, these account for a total of 174 deaths
or 95.1 per cent of the total number killed.

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 151

Table 81 presents, by districts, the number of deaths which have oc-
curred in the coal mines, together with the total number killed for the
past eight years.

The table shows the number killed from five defined causes traceable
to the use of powder in the mines, giving the totals of these. There is
added three other named causes; gas explosions, falling coal, rock, etc.,
and pit cars, also a column giving the various other causes resulting in
death. This year there were twenty-nine deaths resulting directly or in-
directly from the use of powder in bringing down the coal, fifteen of
whom were miners and fourteen shot firers, one shot firer was killed by
falling coal. However, it is found that, of the eight men killed, shown
in the table designated as powder explosions, seven of the number met
death by their own carelessness in handling powder, such as filling cart-
ridges, or cans while carrying a naked lamp, testing a fuse and opening
a keg of powder with a pick. One of these is reported from the fifth dis-
trict, four from the sixth, one from the eighth and one from the ninth.
Deducting these leaves twenty-two killed by the use of powder for blasting
coal, this is 13.0 per cent of the total number killed. Directing attention
to the column in the table headed total from blasts, etc., caused by the use
of powder, for the past six years, 1903-1908, inclusive, it will be seen that
the total number killed was 194, of this number 119 or 61.3 per cent oc-
curred during tlie three years 1903, 1904 and 1905, while seventy-five or
38.7 per cent occurred during the three years 1906, 1907 and 1908. This
is a decrease of forty-six or 28.5 per cent in favor of the three years just
past. Attention is also directed to the column in the table headed pit
cars. The total number killed this year from this cause was thirty-five or
22.5 per cent of the total number from this source during the past eight
years.

Table 82 presents the percentages of the totals of each item shown
in table 81 for the eight years. The first fonr columns under the head
of all causes presents the percentages of the chief dangers impendent at
all times to the miner and others working in the coal mines. For this
year the deaths from the use of powder was twenty-nine or 15.9 per cent
of the total number killed, seven or 3.8 per cent was from gas explosions,
ninety-one or 49.7 per cent from falling coal, rock, etc., thirty-five or 19.1
per cent from pit cars and twenty-one or 11.5 per cent from various
causes.

Table 83 shows in parallel columns the number of fatal and non-fatal
casualties caused by the use of powder. These are stated in five distinct
items with the total number in each, with percentages. These are fol-
lowed by two other items, falling coal, rock, etc., and all other causes
combined. The fatal and non-fatal casualties, resulting from the use of
powder number sixty-five, of these twenty-nine or 44.6 per cent were
fatal, and thirty-six or 55.4 per cent were non-fatal. The two classes of
accidents occurring from falling coal, etc., number 493, of which ninety-
one or 18.5 per cent were fatal and 403 or 81.5 per cent non-fatal.

From all other causes both classes number 439, of these sixty-three or
14.2 per cent were fatal, and 376 or 85.8 non-fatal. The two classes of
casualties number 1,002 of which 183 or 18.3 per cent were fatal and
819 or 81.7 per cent were non-fatal, the whole number of the killed and
injured during the year, from the use of powder in the mines is 6.5 per
cent of all the casualties.

Table 8G shows the number of persons killed in eoal mines in twent_y
states and countries for a series of ten years 1898-1907.

This table is copied from the "Engineering and Mining Journal," New
York, published December 19, 1908. This data is prepared by Frederick
L. Huffman.

The total number killed in 1907 was 2,812 this is an increase over
1906 of 73-1 or thirty-five per cent. All of the states, excepting five show
an increase in the number killed in 1907 over the previous year.

Table 87 presents the number killed to every 1,000 persons employed.
The number for all the states is shown to be 4.17 and 3.33 for the decade.

Non-Fatal Accidents.

Table 88 shows, 'by districts, the record of the 819 non-fatal casualties
and their relative bearing as to the number employed and the tons mined.

This class of casualties include only those who lost thirty or more days
time. The number exceeds that of last year 183 or 27..3 per cent. The
number of tons mined to each man injured ranges from 23,274 in the
second district to 105,192 in the fourth and 60,162 tons for the State.

SECOND INSPECTION DISTRICT-- 1908.

TiEiKi) AxNUAL Report.
Cou>"TiEs: Bureau, Hexry, Knox, Mercer, Rock Island, Warren.

Hon. David Ross. Secretary State Bureau of Labor Statistics, Springfield, III.:
Sir — In accordance with section 12 of an Act of the Genera! Assembly
of the State of Illinois, defining the duties of State Inspectors of Mines, and
providing for the better preservation of the health and safety of all persons
employed therein, I have the honor of submitting the twenty-fifth annual
report of the second inspection district, and the third annual report of the
district, as now formed, comprising the coal producing counties of Bureau,
Henry, Knox, Mercer, Rock Island and Warren.

The tabular information contained in this report gives all the usual sta-
tistics in regard to the number of persons employed in the different branches
of the coal industry: the number of mines of both classes, shipping and
local: the depths of the shafts and slopes; the thickness of the various
seams of coal and their geological number: the quantity of powder con-
sumed in blasting coal, and for other mining operations; the number of
accidents; the amount of coal produced of the various grades, with averages,
ratios and percentages, and such other information as is usually contained
in a report of this character.

The following summary for the second district, for the year ending June
.30, 1908, is presented:

Number of .shipping mine.s 15

Number of mine.s in local trade only 116

From the foregoing table it will be seen that the county of Knox is the
only one to show an increase over the year previous, and that increase only
1,402 tons, while the counties of Bureau, Henry, Mercer, Rock Island and
Warren combined show a decrease of 274,717 tons, the net decrease for the
district being 273,315 tons.

The year ending June 30, 1908, has been an extremely dull one for the
coal trade, so far as the second district is concerned; the depression com-
menced with the financial troubles of last fall and winter and has been
persistently kept up to the present time, with nothing particularly encourag-
ing to look fox-ward to for the future.

New and Ab.^ndoned Mines.

Only one mine of the shipping class has gone into operation during the
year; this is the Atlas Coal Company's shaft No. 4, located at Galva, Henry
county. This mine went into active operation Sept. 1, 1907: it has switch
connections with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad.

The Kewanee Coal Company's shaft No. 1, located at Kewanee, Henry
county, has been worked out and was abandoned Oct. 25, 1907.

Improvements.

Many improvements have been made at the larger mines during the year,
despite the depression in trade and the hard times. Probably the most costly
and efiicient is the putting in of a Capel ventilating fan, installed by the
St. Paul Coal Company at its No. 2 mine. Cherry, Bureau county. This
fan is 16 feet in diameter and 6i/4 feet wide; when running at 180 revolu-
tions per minute, it passes 180,000 cubic feet of air per minute, and gives
about 6 inches of water gauge. This company is at present operating what
is known as the middle or second vein, but are now engaged in opening up
the third vein or seam No. 2 of the geological section.

20-i STATISTICS OF LABOE.

Fatal Accidents.

The following is a detailed report of the fatal accidents occurring in the
second district during the year ending June 30, 1908:

Sept. 20, 1907, Clement t'ouro, miner, aged 34 years, married, had his
back severely injured by falling roof at the face of his working place in
shaft No. 2, operated by the Spring Valley Coal Company, Spring Valley,
Bureau county. He was taken to the hospital and later to his home in
Spring Vaiiey, where he died from the injuries April 20, 1908, seven months
after the accident. Deceased was sitting and talking with his partner at
the "road-head" of his room when a mass of roof suddenly fell from the
"brushing face," striking him on the back and shoulders with the result as
stated. He leaves a widow and one child.

Oct. 14, 1907, Victor Aitutis, miner, aged 22 years, single, was struck on
the back of the head, breaking his neck, by falling roof at the face of his
working place in the Marquette Coal Mining Company's mine at Marquette,
Bureau county. He died from the injuries received about fifteen nainutes
after being removed from the mine. Deceased was working with a partner
and was in the act of taking down a break of coal but did not observe that
a layer of the roof above the coal was loose; when the coal fell the roof
came with it, a piece of which projecting over and beyond the coal struck
him on the back of the head, breaking his neck and causing his death as
stated.

Jan. 16, 1908, Ben Grosso, miner and extra driver, aged 19 years, single,
was killed instantly by being crushed between loaded pit cars and the side
of the entry in the No. 3 mine of the Spring Valley Coal Company, Spring
Valley, Bureau county. Deceased was engaged as an extra driver at the
time of the accident. The day of the accident he was driving a mule in
the 13th north, off the main west entry; he was longer in coming to the
parting with his loaded trip than usual; another driver who was waiting at'
the parting for him to come out went inside to look for him; this driver
found the mule and trip of two loaded pit cars, and a short distance beyond
found the body of Grosso lying partially on the track, dead. There were
no witnesses to the accident, and it can only be assumed that he fell, or
was knocked from his seat on the loaded pit car, and caught between the
cars and side of the entry.

Feb. 24, 1908, Hubert Morris, driver, aged 22 years, single, was killed
instantly by being crushed under a trip of two loaded pit cars in the No. 5
mine of the Spring Valley Coal Company, located at Dalzell, Bureau county.
The facts as to just how this accident occurred are quite hard to determine,
as no one was present at the time. Deceased was coming down a slight
gradient with two loaded pit cars, riding on the front of the first car, accord-
ing to custom; and the most reasonable theory is, that he lost his balance
and fell in front of the rapidly moving cars. He was found under the first
car shortly afterwards and was dead when found.

March 6, 1908, Anton Cira, miner, aged 26 years, married, was killed
instantly by falling roof at the face of his v^'orking room in mine No. 2 of
the St. Paul Coal Company, located at Cherry, Bureau county. Deceased
and his partner were at work in a room when a large mass of roof suddenly
fell, part of which struck Cira on the back of the head, crushing him to the
floor of the mine. The mass of roof that fell was about 15 feet long, 10
feet wide, with an average thickness of about 10 inches; it was nearly 2
feet thick at the smooth or slip on one side, running out to a feather edge
at the other. The room in which the accident occurred was fairly well
timbered, props were standing about 6 feet from the coal face on the right
hand side of the room and about 10 feet on the left. He leaves a widow and
one child.

June 23, 1908, Thomas "White, miner, aged 28 years, married, was killed
instantly by being struck on the head by a heavy fall of roof at the face
of his working place in the No. 2 mine operated by "the St. Paul Coal Com-
pany at Cherry, Bureau county. Deceased was an experienced miner. He

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 305

was employed in driving the 8th south entry in the mine, and was in the
act of building up a loaded ear with lumps of coal, when suddenly a large
mass of roof fell, striking him on the head and crushing him against the
side of the pit car. He had been notified of the dangerous condition of the
roof by the assistant mine manager about an hour previous to the accident,
but had evidently neglected to make it safe at the proper time. He leaves
a widow and three children.

In addition to the above, I have thought it proper to report that Bernard
O'Dowd, a miner, aged 55 years, married, leaving a widow and three chil-
dren, died of heart failure at the face of his working place in mine No. 2
operated by the Spring Valley Coal Company at Spring Valley, Aug. 10, 1907,
and is not reported as an accident.

Also that John Stought, injured in the Kewanee Coal Company's shaft
No. 1 at Kewanee, July 31, 1906, and reported in 1907, died as a probable
result of his injuries April 19, 1908. These cases have not been included
in the ratios submitted.

Following are the usual tables for each county in the second district.

Respectfully submitted,

Thos. Hudson,
State Inspector of Mines, Second District. Galva, III.

JoHX DuxLOP, Inspector, Peoria, Illinois.

Hon. David Ross, Secretary State Bureau of Labor Statistics, Springfield, III.

Sir — I have the honor to submit the third annual report of the coal mines
in the third inspection district, comprising the coal producing counties of
Livingston, Marshall, Peoria, Putnam, Stark and Woodford.

On account of filling out the unexpired term of James Taylor, who resigned
during the year, I am unable to give a full and detailed mention of the
changes, improvements and other matters that have occurred as would have
been done had I been more familiar with the operating of the mines in the
district.

The tabular information contained in this report gives all of the particu-
lars in regard to the number of miners and other employes, underground
and on the surface, engaged in the coal mining industry; also the output of
the mines and the distribution of the product.

The following summary for the district is presented for the year ending
.June 30, 1908:

Number of shipping mines 26

Number of mines in local trade only 77

Total number of mines '. . 103

Number of miners employed 3,045

Number of other employes underground 628

Number of boys underground 93

Number of employes above- ground 359

Total number of employes 4,125

Number of kegs of powder consumed 68,427

Tons of lump coal produced 1,123,546

Tons of all other grades combined 1,274 218

Total tons produced 2,37o!764

Aggregate value of the total product $3,244!564

Number of fatal accidents 7

Fatal, Accidents.

July 24, 1907, Gateus Kastillic, aged 46 years, married, top laborer, was
killed at the Devlin Coal Company's mine, located at Toluca, Marshall
county. Deceased was riding between two railroad cars and in some manner
fell from the cars, the latter car running over him, causing his death. He
leaves a widow and four children.

Sept. 6, 1907, Albert Gillot, gripper, aged 19 years, single, was fatally
injured in the Reed City mine, Peoria county, operated by Newsam Bros.
Deceased" was riding on a trip of empty cars and jumped out of the car and
stepped onto the loaded track; part of a loaded trip had broken loose, and,
owing to the roadway having a downward grade towards the working face
at this particular place, the cars ran back, knocking him down, injuring him
so that it caused his death.

Sept. 17, 1907, Edward Hasty, driver, aged 24 years, married, was killed
by falling rock in the Empire mine No. 2, operated by Clark Coal and Coke
Company, Peoria, Peoria county. He leaves a widow.

Feb. 27, 1908, Charles White, driver, aged 19 years, single, was killed in
the Cardiff Coal Company's mine No. 2, Cardiff, Livingston county. Deceased
was riding on front of car, and, for some reason unknown, fell in front of
the car, the mule pulling the car over him. When found by a boy who was
trapping at a door not far distant, he was dead; therefore, no particulars
fan be given as to just how the accident happened.

I was not in the inspection service when the other accidents occurred, and
•an only report as to how they happened by the reports sent to me.

Following are the tables for each county in the third inspection district.

Respectfully submitted,

John Dunlop,
State Inspector of Mines, Third District, Peoria, III.

Illinois, defining the duties of the State inspectors of coal mines, I have
the honor to herewith submit the third annual report of the coal mines in
the fourth inspection district. This report contains, in addition to the fol-
lowing summary of items, the depth of coal from the surface, the thickness
of coal in feet and inches; the geological number of the seam; the nature
of the opening, whether shaft, slope, or drift; the power for raising coal,
steam, horse, or hand; the system of working, longwall or room and pillar,
and the method of mining. The following is a summary of the items con-
tained in the report:

New Mines.

The new mines from which reports have been received for the first time
are the Simmons Coal Company, Canton, and Mine No. 2 of the Star Coal
Company, Cuba. The Burney Coal Company has sunk a new mine at Col-
chester, McDonough county. In Fulton county the Star Coal Company has
opened a new mine at Fiatt. The Alden Coal Comparfy has opened a new
mine one and a half miles north of Norris, and the National Coal Company
a new mine one and a half miles east of Middle Grove.

Abandoned Mines.

The Burney Coal Company, Colchester, McDonough county, abandoned its
mine Feb. 15, 1908. The mine known as Buckhart or "D" of the Whitebreast
Fuel Company was abandoned April 1, 1908. This mine was located at St.
i)avid, Fulton county. The Monarch Coal and Mining Company's mine,
Farmington, was abandoned Jan. 1, 1908.

May 12th the top works of the Applegate & Lewis Coal Company's mine,
Cuba, was destroyed by fire; there not being a sufficient amount of coal left
in the mine to justify rebuilding, the company decided to abandon the mine.

Business Changes.

The Big Creek Coal Company, St. David, has purchased mine "D," form-
erly owned and operated by the Whitebreast Fuel Company, Dunfermline.
The Alden Coal Company has purchased the Farmington Coal Company's
mine at Farmington.

Improvements.

The Big Creek Coal Company has installed electric motors in mine No. 4,
Dunfermline, doing away with mule haulage to tne bottom of the shaft.
The Maplewood Coal Company has also put in a system of electric motor
haulage at mine No. 1, Farmington. The Alden Coal Company has remodeled
the mine recently purchased from the Farmington Coal Company, putting in
new shaker screens, boilers and track scales, also repairing and adding to
its railroad tracks.

Notwithstanding the fact that there was a total suspension of work in all
the shipping mines of nearly two months duration this year, the fourth dis-
trict shows a net increase of 101,436 tons over 1907. Fulton county increased

246 STATISTICS OF LABOR.

148.088 tons and Tazewell county 1,534 tons over 1907, while Hancock,
McDonough and McLean counties show a decrease of 4,846, 10,813 and 32,527
tons respectfully. The large decrease in McLean county can be accounted
for from the fact that in September, 1907, a fire occurred in the McLean
County Coal Company's mine which practically prevented it from operating
the lower seam during the v/inter. The counties of McDonough and Han-
cock have only small mines and the probabilities are the production will
decrease rather than increase in the future.

Fatal Accidents.

July 11, 1907, Joe Kawzkarich, trapper, aged 17 years, single, employed
in the mine of the Monmouth Coal company, Brereton, was fatally injured.
Deceased was riding on the front end of a loaded pit car, when, coming to
a low place, he was caught between the coal and roof, receiving injuries
from which he died the next day.

Dec. 19, 1907, Lewis Provard, laborer, aged 23 years, married, was instantly
killed by a fall of rock in the Canton Coal Company's mine. Canton. De-
ceased was engaged in taking down loose rock from the roof when it fell,

FIFTH INSPECTION DISTRICT— 1908.

Third Annual Report,

Thomas Moses, Inspector, Westville.

Hon. David Ross, Secretary State Bureau of LaJ)or Statistics, Springfield, III.:
Sir — In compliance with the law of Illinois, defining the duties of State
inspectors of coal mines, I have the honor to herewith submit the third
annual report of the coal mines in the fifth inspection district for the year
ending June 30, 1908. The district includes the coal producing counties of
Edgar, Macon and Vermilion.

The tabular statement in this report contains information in regard to
the number of mines and miners and other employes; the various grades
of coal produced and the number of tons of each; the aggregate value of
the total product at the mines; the tons shipped by rail or sold to local
consumers or used for steam producing purposes at the mines; the amount
of powder and dynamite used at the mines, and a complete statement of
all fatal accidents, also of non-fatal accidents that necessitated the loss of
over thirty days time.

The following is a summary of the leading items contained in the report
of the district:

rarily abandoned and no new mines have been put in operation. In my last
report I reported twenty-two shipping mines; this year I can only report
eighteen.

A number of changes in local mines took place this year, as usual, but a
decided decrease in those mines also took place in Vermilion county. Last
year I Vv'as able to report forty-three local mines in that county, while this
year I can only report twentj-^-eight local mines, yet they may all be in
operation before winter sets in.

The total tonnage of each county for the years 1907 and 1908 with the
increase and decrease in each is shown in the following comparative table:

Sangamon county shows a gain in output over last year of 206,005 tons,
while Cass, Logan, Menard and Schuyler show an aggregate loss of 60,587
tons, reducing the gain in the district to 145,438 tons.

Improvements.

There have been several improvements in the district during the past
year. The Capital Coal Company, Springfield, has put in a new steam fan
which has considerably increased the ventilation in the mine. The Lincoln
Park Coal Company, Springfield, has enlarged the hoisting shaft of its
mine and retimbered the same. The Standard Wash Coal Company, R. R.
No. 8, Sangamon county, has installed a new boiler which will improve the
condition at this mine.

There have been many other improvements of the ventilation of mines
throughout the district.

Enforcement of the Mining Law.

During the year several operators in this district have been fined by the
courts for neglecting to file maps of their mines as required by law. Several
miners have also been fined for opening powder kegs with picks in direct
violation of the law. A shot-firer at Lincoln was prosecuted and fined for
firing shots before the men had left their working places, and for giving a
miner a squib with which to light hi§ own shot.

I have experienced a great deal of trouble in enforcing the law relative to
technical points, which have arisen more especially with the proviso in
section 8 that there is no punishment for the offender for the first offense,
when, by the first violation of the law, the violator may cause the death of
several men. If such should occur, all that could be done under the present
law is to warn the offenders not to repeat the offense.

Fatal Casualties.

July 2, 1907, Dan Cain, trapper, aged 17 years, was killed in the Sherman
mine of the Illinois Midland Coal Company. The driver had just passed
with a trip of loaded cars, when Cain walked into the middle of the track,
not being aware that one car had been detached, and was following the trip.
This car knocked Cain down, dragging him some eighteen feet, causing hia
death.

280 STATISTICS OF LABOR.

July 5, 1907, Weuzell Ludzka, miner, aged 28 years, married, was killed
in a mine of the Citizens Coal Mining Company, Sangamon county. De-
ceased was in the act of taking powder out of his kegs when a spark from
his lamp ignited the powder, the explosion causing his death. He leaves
a v>'idow and one child.

Aug. 11, 1907, Edward Pierce, miner, aged 65 years, married, was killed
in the No. 3 mine of the Springfield Coal Mining Co. at Starns. Deceased
was riding into his work, with other men, when a piece of cap rock fell out
of a slip, striking him and breaking his neck. He leaves a widow.

Sept. 3, 1907, Edward Beneky, aged 36 years, married, was killed in No. 8
mine of the Illinois Collieries Company, Springfield. Deceased was walking
along the main entry to reach his working place, when suddenly some fall-
ing slate, about sixteen tons, caught him, completely burying him under-
neath. He leaves a widow.

Sept. 27, 1907, John Row, shot-firer, aged 34 years, married, was killed
in the mine of the Black Diamond Coal Company at Auburn. His death
was caused by a sho.t blowing through a cross-cut, between two entries. The
pillar at this point was 17 feet thick; about 10 feet had been taken out of
the cross-cut in the back entry; there was also a shot in the cross-cut in
the front entry which he or his brother had lighted. Deceased and his
brother had gone into the back entry, and were fixing shots to be fired
there, when the shot from the front entry blew through, killing John and
just slightly scratching his brother's face. Deceased leaves a widow and
one child.

Sept. 28, 1907, John Adamities, miner, aged 32 years, married, lost his
life in the mine of the Illinois Midland Coal Company, Springfield. Deceased
stuck his pick into a keg of powder to open it; the powder was ignited and
exploded, burning him to death. He leaves a widow and four children.

Oct. 4, 1907, Silas Webb, driver, aged 21 years, single, lost his life in the
mine of the Tuxhorn Coal Company, Keyes. Deceased was riding on top
of a loaded car, his head was caught by a cross-bar.

Oct. 28, 1907, Valentine Lepusbetz, miner, aged 36 years, married, was
killed under very strange conditions in the mine of the Citizens Coal Min-
ing Company at Lincoln. In my investigation of this case it was found that
the shot-firer had begun firing the shots in the mine one hour before the
proper firing time, and while the miners were still in the mine. In ques-
tioning Oscar Menzel, the shot-firer, in regard to the cause of Lepusbetz's
death, he said that the man came out onto the entry and asked him for a
squib to light his shot; that he gave Lepusbetz a squib; that afterwards he
went inta the man's room, after the shot had exploded, and found deceased
lying on the gob with the back of his head fractured. He leaves a widow
and one child.

Nov. 20, 1907, John King, top laborer, aged 19 years, single, was killed
in the mine of the Illinois Midland Coal Company at Sherman. Deceased
was caught and crushed between a railroad box car and box car loader.

Dec. 8, 1907, Albert Krechley, driver, aged 22 years, single, was killed in
mine No. 2 of the Springfieia Coal Mining Company at Riverton. Deceased
accidentally fell in front of a moving empty pit car, which ran over him,
breaking his neck.

Dec. 10, 1907, Joseph Kasulas, miner, aged 35 years, married, was killed
in the No. 2 mine of the Sangamon Coal Company, Springfield. Deceased
was burned by exploding powder.

The statement made by others at the time of the accident was that he
was trying a piece of fuse to see if it was good, and that it fired some
powder that was in a powder can; his can did not show any signs of being
burned. However, a few days after the accident, a powder keg was found
near the place in which was a hole evidently made with a pick, the keg
having been bursted open by the explosion of the powder. Deceased leaves
a widow and one child.

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 281

Dec. 17, 1907, John Wanshor, shot-firer, aged 24 years, single, was killed
in the mine of the Lincoln Mining Company, Lincoln. Deceased went back
to examine a shot before it had exploded. The shot-firers were using both
sulphur and gas squibs. His partner informed me that he had just passed
the switch and that deceased had not had time to place another squib in
the hole when he saw Wanshor blown against the rib of the entry, a distance
of thirty feet.

Jan. 20, 1908, Joseph Delard, miner, aged 31 years, married, was killed in
the mine of the Woodside Coal Company, Woodside, by falling slate. He
leaves a widow.

Jan. 25, 1908, Thomas Staley, shot-firer, aged 31 years, married, was killed
in the Sherman mine of the Illinois Midland Coal Company by a shot blow-
ing through the rib; he had lighted a shot in one room and was in the
act of lighting the shots in the next room when the first shot exploded,
blowing through the rib. He leaves a widow and three children.

March 4, 1908, Antoney Judusky, miner, aged 38 years, single, was killed
in the mine of the Jones & Adams Coal Company, Springfield. Deceased
was in the act of filling a powder can from his powder keg when, in some
manner, the powder exploded, causing his death.

March 20, 1908, W. D. Shreever, miner, aged 45 years, married, was fatally
injured by falling clod while loading a car in the No. 2 mine of the Hlinois
Collieries Company at Auburn.

March 26, 1908, Edward Lucian, driver, aged 19 years, was found dead
xmder his trip of cars; the car wheels had passed over his neck.

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas Hanna,
State Inspector of Mines, Sixth District.

New Mines.

The Farmersville Coal Mining Company of Farmersville, Montgomery
county, has sunk a mine one-half mile south of town, to the No. 6 seam, and
are now equipping the mine in the most modern style.

The shaft is 369 feet to the coal; the seam is 9 feet thick and has a very
good roof. The company is now sinking the air shaft, also putting in the
side tracks on top, and will probably be ready to ship coal the beginning of
the coming winter.

The Montgomery County Coal Company of Hillsboro, Montgomery county,
has sunk a mine to the No. 6 seam, two and one-half miles southwest of
Hillsboro; the company is equipping this mine for a very large tonnage.
Both the hoisting and air shaft are down to the coal; both are the same
dimensions, 9 by 16 feet. The shaft is 470 feet deep. A shaker screen has
been put in, 8 by 52 feet, equipped, to make all sizes of coal. There are two
Bonson patent boilers, each 400 horsepovv^er, with a working pressure of
150 pounds. The engines are the Litchfield make, 26 by 42 inches, with a
cone drum. Steel pit cars of 4-ton capacity are used in the mine. All the
other equipments are of the latest style.

Sept. 28, 1907, a fire at the Consolidated Coal Company's mine No. 15, Mt.
Olive, Macoupin county, completely destroyed the engine and boiler rooms,
together with one large compressor; also damaging another compressor and
the hoisting engine. The destruction of the property caused the mine to
remain idle until December 3rd following.

The night of Oct. 3, 1907, a fire destroyed the top works of the Penwell
Coal Mining Company at Pana, Christian county. There were eighteen men
in the mine at the time, all of whom were rescued, but witlj great difiiculty;
not, however, because the way of escape was not in first-class shape. The
men came out through an opening from this mine to the Smith-Lohr mine,
which was on the east side of the shaft; the men were on the west side and
had to cross to the east side, passing the shaft. The hoisting shaft is both
a down and an up cast, the two currents being separated by a partition. The
hoisting compartment, being the downcast, carried the fiame to the bottom,
setting the mine cars on fire, also burning through the partition, filling both
the intake and return air courses with smoke, which almost completely shut
the men from retreat. All of the mules, except five which were burned, were
taken out the next day.

The company has since connected the west side of the mine with the Pana
Coal Company's No. 1 mine, making a separate escape for each side of the
mine.

Improvements.

The Penwell Coal Mining Company at Pana, Christian county, in conse-
quence of a fire, had to rebuild the entire whole top works of its mine, con-
sisting of the tipple, screenings bin, box car loader house, fan house and all
machinery therein, also the railroad chutes. The old-style cage was replaced
with a self-dumping cage, thereby increasing the capacity of the mine; the
time consumed in dumping with the new cage is much less than with the
old. Special cars have been built to convey the coal from the mine to
the railroad chutes, thus doing away Viuth the storing of mine cars on top
at night, as is done at many places where railroad engines are coaled. The
Crawford and McCrinnon fan, which was also burned, was replaced with
a 12-foot Stevens fan. This fan, under a trial, produced 167,000 cubic feet
of air with a water gauge of 4.7 inches. The Clover Leaf Coal Company at
Coffeen, Macoupin county, has installed at its No. 2 mine a Capell fan of
200,000 cubic feet capacity; also electric haulage.

The Superior Coal Company at Gillespie has installed electric haulage at
its No. 3 mine, operating one motor on each side of the shaft.

The district shows a decrease of 43,937 tons. Bond county shows the
largest decrease, this is on account of the Illinois Collieries Company closing
down its No. 6 mine in January, 1908.

St. Clair county shows a loss of 21,431 tons. This is partly due to three
mines which have not been operated during the year. The Swansee Coal
Company's mine, Belleville; the Silver Creek Coal Company's mine at O'Fal-
lon and the Southern Coal and Mining Company's mine No. 6, Belleville;
these mines have not been abandoned but are in condition to be operated at
any time.

There were also ten other mines in St. Clair county which have not been
operated since March 31, 1908, there being so little demand for coal, it did
not pay the operators to run their mines. The shipping mines that were
operated only show an average of 173 working days. The number of mines
now opened out in this district could produce an output of over 8,000,000
tons of coal yearly providing a market could be found for the coal.

Improvements.

The following is a detailed list of the various improvements made in
and about the mines of the district during the past year.

The Mississippi Colliery Company, Smithsboro, Bond county, has opened
up the old mine at that place, taking the water out and retimberiag both
shafts; putting in large first motion engines; large boilers, new engine and
boiler house, with a new and substantial tower, and out buildings.

There have been three other deaths at the mines in the district, during the
year, also one man badly injured, so as not to be able to work in the mines
again. These deaths cannot be recorded as occurring in the mining of coal.
They are as follows:

July 1, 1907. Louis Cologna and August Genette, miners, were killed by
an explosion of powder and Joseph Welsh severely injured iin the Consoli-
dated Coal Company's No. 17 mine near Collinsville, in St. Clair county; and
Edward Evans, a boy 12 years of age, was scalded to death at the Bessmer
Washed Coal Company's mine at White Oak, St. Clair county, October 9,
1907. On Saturday night June 29, 1907, .Joseph Genette aind Joseph Zadra,
two miners, from Glen Carbon, Madison county, went to the No. 17 mine of
the Consolidated Coal Company, going down the stairway of the escapement
shaft, and into the working place of Louis Cologina and August Genette,
(which was the fact of the main north entry) they opened the powder box
belonging to Cologna and Genette, which contained parts of two kegs of pow-
<ier, and fixed up an infernal machine, consisting of a double barrelled pistol,
with wires attached to the trigger of the pistol, and so connected to the lid
of the box. that when the lid was lifted the pistol would explode and set off
the powder. On Monday morning, July 1, 1907, Louis Cologna and August
Genette in company with Joseph Welsh, wept into the mine to go to work
as soon as they got within 100 feet of the working face, where the powder
box was standing Louis Cologna started to open the powder box, he had
lifted the lid about one quarter distance up, when an explosion occurred,
throwing all three men to the ground, Cologna amd Genette were severely
burned, Cologna died at noon the same day. Genette died July 4, 1907.
Joseph Welsh is yet alive, but will not be able to work as a miner again.

Through the good seiwices of the city marshals of Glen Carbon and Collins-
ville and the State's attorney of St. Clair and Madison counties, Joseph Gen-
ette, a cousin of August Genette was arrested for the crime; he afterwards
confessed that Joseph Yadra and himself, had planned the infernal machine,
which killed Louis Cologna and August Genette and severely injured Joseph
Walsh. Joseph Genette and Joseph Yadra are now both servimg life terms
in the State prison for the crime.

330 ir^TATISTICS OF LABOR.

As regards the death of the boy, Edward Evans, his brother Roy Evans,
was night engineer at the White Oak mine, the boy was in the boiler room,
his brother Roy Evans was standing on a box working at the feed pipe of
the boiler with a wrench; the feed pipe bursted and the boy standing near
it was scalded to death. Roy Evans the engineer, was also severely scalded.
The tables of the fatal and non-fatal accidents with the regular county
tables follow, giving the detailed information of the coal mining industry
of the district.

3v2 STATISTICS OF LABOR.

The Gulp Coal Company has completed a mine located five miles northeast
of Marion. At this mine coal was reached Dec. 10, 1907, at a depth of
210 feet. The shaft is 914 by 15 feet; the seam is GU feet thick. A pair
of first motion engines have been installed, size 20 by 30 inches, made by,
the Danville Foundry and Machine Company. The drum is 6 feet in
diameter, the sheave wheels the same with 114-inch cable. There are two
boilers 18 feet by 72 inches with 70 1-inch flues. The engine room is built
of brick and is 22 feet by 38 feet; the boiler room is 28 feet by 42 feet and
is also built of brick. The tipple is built of heavy steel and is 60 feet high:
it was built by the Westconcart Bridge and Iron Works. The shaker screen
was made by the Eagle Iron Works. There are two pumps, both Cameron,
one with a 3-inch suction and 2-inch discharge, the other is down in the
mine and has a 4-inch suction and a 3-inch discharge. Four tracks lead
under the tipple so that four grades of coal can be produced. The air shaft
is down and is 9 feet by 14 feet and 208 feet deep. The plant is up-to-date
in all of its appointments and has a capacity of 2,000 tons per day.

In Saline county, the Davenport Mining Company has completed a new
mine two miles south of Carriers Mills, on the Big Four Railroad. Coal was
reached Feb. 9, 1908, at a depth of 166 feet; the seam is 41/0 feet thick. The
shaft is 8V> by 15 feet, timbered with 4 by 8 inch oak timber. The head
frame is 60 feet high, made of 4 by 10 inch pine bolted together. The
hoisting engine is 16 by 32 inches, made by Keck-Gonnerman, Mount Vernon.
Ind. One boiler made by the same company, size 70 inches by 20 fe6t with
26 6-inch tubes. The engine room is 24 by 24 feet, ceiled with flooring and
has a galvanized iron roof. The head frame and out-buildings are all cov-
ered with galvanized iron. The blacksmith shop is 25 by 50 feet. The air
shaft is started, it is 8 by 12 feet. The fan is on the ground, ready to^
be put in place. It is of the Keck-Gounerman Company make, 16 feet in
diameter, driven by a 12 by 16 inch engine. Three tracks are built under
the screens, with one pair of track scales and one pair of wagon scales.
This is a good plant and well built.

The Eldorado Coal and Mining Company has completed a new mine one
mile northeast of Eldorado. The seam of coal is 41/2 feet thick and was
reached July 2, .1907, at a depth of 450 feet. This is No. 5 seam of the
geological section and of good quality. The shaft is 9 feet by 14 feet. The
head tower is 75 feet high and is built of 4 by 12 inch yellow pine, securely
bolted. There are three tracks under the tipple, and two track scales. The
shaker screen is 8 feet by 21 feet, Keck-Gonnerman pattern. The engine
room is 40 by 48 feet: a conveyor carries the coal from the screens to the
boiler room. A Docker pump feeds the boilers and a National pump is down
in the mine, this a 4-inch suction and a 3-inch discharge. There are two
Erie l^oilers, 6 by 18 feet with 70 4-inch tubes: the engine is 20 by 30 inches.
Keck-Gonnerman make. The company has put in a McEwin, 16 by 16 inches,
187 horsepower; Goodman Company generator, 100 killowatts. The air
shaft is 9 by 13 feet, with a Keck-Gonnerman 20-foot fan. The engine room
and boiler room are brick, the head frame is covered with galvanized iron.
The shaft is located on the Big Four Railroad.

Improvements.

The National Mining Company, Eldorado, Saline county, has put in elec-
tric machines; also a Morgan-Gardner generator, 100 killowatts, 250 volts;
a Skinner engine, 16 by 18 inches, 160 horsepower, and a Morgan-Gardner
chain machine with Keystone bits. I will say that by putting in machines
this mine has increased the output, as the coal was hard to blast off
the solid.

Changes ix Names of Companies.

In Williamson county, the Oak Ridge & Hemlock Coal Company has
changed its name and is now known as the Big Muddy River Consolidated
Coal Company.

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 373

The New Virginia Coal Company and the Chicago & Marion Coal Com-
pany, located at White Ash, Williamson county, have changed their names
and will be known as the Consumers' Coal Company.

COAL IN ILLINOIS. 375

entry. Both Cousart and his partner were warned of the presence of gas
on the morning of the accident; they removed the board bearing the exam-
iners' mark on the morning of the accident and supposed they had brushed
all the gas out before going to work; after loading one car, Cousart's part-
ner, H. Clark, lighted the gas, which fatally burned Cousart; Clark was not

The names which are printed in italic are those who hold both certificates
of service and subsequent certificates of competency acquired through exam-
ination.

The names which are followed by the abbreviation "ex." are those who

ination, under the provisions of the amendment of 1895. Names followed by
the letter "d" are deceased.

The postoffice addresses here given, and in all the lists following, are those

STATISTICS OF LABOR.

MINE EXAMINERS HOLDING CERTIFICATES OF
COMPETENCY.

The revised mining law of 1899 changed the title or name "Fire Boss" to
that of "Mine Examiner," and provided that those holding certificates as
Fire Boss could exchange the same for that of Mine Examiner.

The names followed by the abbreviation "ex," have made such exchange;
those by "d" are deceased. The list includes all Mine Examiners to whom
certificates have been issued prior to January 1, 1908.
