FATALITIESDuring the year 1961, one (1) fatal accident occurred in the coal

mines of Maryland.A roof-fall that occurred about 8:15 A. M., Wednesday, April 5,

1961, at the face of No. 15 room off No. 1 right entry, at the No. 6mine, W & W Coal Company, resulted in serious injury to Leo Wilt,a coal loader. Mr. Wilt died from the injuries about an hour later,in the Potomac Valley Hospital, Keyser, West Virginia.

Leo Wilt was 34 years of age and had 10 years mining experience,two years of which he was a coal loader at this mine. He is survivedby his widow and three children under 18 years of age.

On the morning of the accident, about 6:00 A. M., the mineforeman made a preshift examination and found No. 15 room in a safecondition. Soon after 6:30 A. M., Leo Wilt and Floyd S. Wilt enteredNo. 15 room and started to load the cut of coal at the face onto theshaker conveyor. Part of this cut of coal was loaded at 7:30 A. M.,when the mine foreman returned tO make an onshift examination and


found the draw rock loose on the right side of the place for about 15feet and a clay seam exposed at the face. Some of this unsafe drawrock was then taken down and posts were set under the outer edges ofthe remaining draw rock. However, roof supports were not set in theinby area where the clay seam was present. The mine foreman thenleft the place and went to the surface and the two workmen resumedloading operations. About 8:15 A. M. the drawrock evidently brokenear the clay seam, fell and dislodged the posts set under the outeredges of the draw rock and caught Leo Wilt under the fall. Floyd S.Wilt, who was just outby the fall area, was not injured and after try-ing and being unable to remove the draw rock from the victim, calledto the workmen in No. 14 Room for assistance. The mine foreman wasalso notified and he and the workmen administered first aid and thenbrought Mr. Wilt to the surface. He was taken by ambulance to thehospital, where he died about one hour later.

ACTIVITIES OF FUEL COMBUSTION ADVISORFor the Year 1961

During the year 1961, Mr. Robert D. Ewing, Fuel CombustionAdvisor, spent 36 days in the office and laboratory at Westernport and39 days at State Institutions. A total of 169 days were spent in thefield collecting samples, advising on coal preparation, etc. Six dayswere spent at private institutions advising on fuel problems. Threehundred three coal samples were processed in the coal testing laboratory.

Three complaints were received concerning coal delivered to StateInstitutions. Two complaints were the result of oxidized coal. Onecomplaint was due to improper sizing of coal. Samples of the coal inquestion were collected, and analyzed. Conferences were held with theshippers and consumers and corrections and adjustments were madeon the shipments.

A new field sampling kit was added to the laboratory equipment.This has resulted in better preparation of coal samples prior to analyses.

REPORT OF VOCATIONAL MINING EDUCATIONThe Night Mining Classes opened their sessions February 17,

1961 and ended May 26, 1961.The classes were instructed by James H. Close and Thomas B.

Powell, District Mine Inspectors.The classes were conducted in Barton at the High School by

James H. Close and in Frostburg at State Teachers College, by ThomasB. Powell on each Friday night.

The combined enrollment of both classes was 30 students.The subjects studied were:

Mining MethodsMine Gases and Gas TestingMap ReadingFlame Safety LampsElectricityMine Fires and ExplosionsThe Use of Permissible ExplosivesMining Laws—Deep and Strip Mines

The classes met weekly and averaged two or more hours eachsession. Much interest was shown by the students in the discussionperiod. Students contributed by asking questions generally relatedto their own local conditions. Visual aid was used at intervals duringthe course, to good advantage, when pictures showing good safetypractices were shown.

CONCLUSIONEnough interest was displayed in Vocational Mining, to carry

on this program and demonstrated the continued need for this type oftraining.
