Excerpt from Reports of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite Coal Regions of Pennsylvania: For the Year 1875

Sir - In compliance with the requirements of an act of General Assem bly of the Commonwealth, approved the fifth day of April, 1870, An Act for the preservation of the records of the inspectors of mines, etc., I have the honor to herewith submit an annual report of all matter of information that came under my official notice, and such other information as had been furnished me by the inspectors of mines during the year, detailing the number of fatal and non-fatal accidents that occurred in their respective districts; and the number of collieries in operation, showing their char acter and condition, the power used and force of hands employed in each. I find by comparison that the fatalities are somewhat less than last year, yet the roll is not as favorable as was anticipated. Since resumption in June fatal accidents were numerous.

In Pottsville district 59 collieries were in Operation and produced 629 tons of coal; 28 fatal and 88 non-fatal accidents occurred, leaving 17 widows and 62. Orphans. In Shenandoah district 54 collieries were in op cration, producing tons of coal; 26 fatal and 114 non-fatal acci dents occurred, leaving 11 widows and 49 orphans. In Shamokin district 60 collieries were in operation, producing tons; 38 fatal and 106 non-fatal accidents occurred, leaving 13 widows and 30 orphans. Making an aggregate of 92 deaths, 308 cases of maimed persons, leaving 41 widows and 141 orphans. The character of these casualties will be found detailed in tabulated form hereto subjoined.

Investigation into these fatalities will justify the assertion that fully one half of them are the result of carelessness, improper attention and undue disregard of safety, occasioned, to a large extent, by the long suspension, the non-repair of the mines, and the hurry consequent upon resumption.
