NEW MEN SATISFIED.
n.te,tored the new mems places
,a.a very few Of them that were dis
buns \. a Vim the work; they all felt as
ausl.1 ,hsy would soon become miners.

md me mine twice a day, one In
M q. rornIng before the miners enter

W dangerous material are kept clear
s..,a tho miners enter the mine; they
rsk another round in the afternoon to
a. mat the miners place their shots

ri,lng ls done according to rules, as all
~innS must be made six inches beyond
M ana OF the hole no shots shall be
~ads unless all places within 30 yards
.,s in wet condition, so that dust

,i,o The duty Of the fire bosses to see
MAJ ali places are tmbered and made
ar also TO see that all places are
Vaisred and kept damp. There Is also
mine foreman, whose duty it Is to
60 mat the mine Is kept In a safe con-
alton. and to give Instructions TO the

charge Of the new men, and TO see that
an Instructions are carried out
After | went through the mine ] |
came OUT and made an examination OF |
M scales that weighed the miners coal |
and found them to be correct.
CONDITION OF NO. @
I next made an inspection Of No. 2
nn found 1877 miners In the mine |
AHA day men, total Of III men out
81 n operating miners, SO; men en-
tQas at the coke ovens, 50; total num-
w 10 and around both mines, 56l, |
vAch makes the number OF men 2S9 |
kN hsn before the strike. There were |
about one. half Of the above $50 men do |
ne grading work, taking out rock and |
building coke ovens, which are not
ftdd at present, 50 ii really makes |
about liS men less than there were be-
ior the strike. Both mines are pro-
dldns LILO tons Of coal per day, |
which Is about $50 tons less than the |
oatpqt before the strike.
As went through No. 2 mine | |
'olni i In good safe condition, with |
fsny Of good air all places timbered,
tllefed and kept damp, the conditions |
N regard to taking care OF the new
men we're the same as IN No. 1 mine, |
Ne same number Of practical miners, |
IRE bosses, one mine foreman and an |
assistant In my opinion the new men |
uSlnnysIde are making a very good |
slowing

gay men, a total of 233 working in |

81 walered and kept damp. Here the
@lllilons IN regard to the new men
ue mol quite as good as at the other
nlles as the coal Is hard TO mine. and
axes nerve and muscle to produce
We coal The farmer, rockmcn and
,alVao men are not accustomed to
We ueF nerve and muscle In this way,
y Is taking a little longer TO train
