0. M. GILLETTE, Manage Frostburg, Md.

HARRY MARTIN, Assistant Manager Frostburg, Md.

The Maryland Division of the Consolidation Cbai Company is inAllegany County. It is the largest operation in the State. They oper-ate fourteen mine's and are working the! P:ittsbiurg or Big Vein andTyson coal seam. The general condition of the Consolidation mines isgood and no expense is being: spared to me'et the! requirements of thelaw and keep them in a! healthful and safe condition.

PETER HOYE! Mine Foreman!.

Consol Mine No. 1 is located at Ocen on the east side of the George'sCreek. It is a slope opening working the Pittsburg or Big Vein CoalSeam, and is opened up on the double: entry system:.

Ventilation is: produced by steam driven fans, and tie air current isconducted to the working faces, by overcasts, doors and braftices. Itis found in a satisfactory and lawflll condition.

Drainage is very clifflclllt, owing to the low condition of the mine,and a heavy expense is incurred keeping it satisfactory. It isi obtainedby being draineid through the Hoffman tunneL

Timbering is found in a good condition, and owing to: the age of the;mine, it: requires a great deal of timbering to keep! i the roof in a! salecondition.

The coal is mined by pick, blasted by powde:; and is gathered andhauled to the side track in the interior by horses, from there it is' con-veyed to the: bottom of the slope by two Baldwin air motors 17 and 19t:ons. It is then hoisted by a Dixon hoisting machine to the outside,where it is dumped iito railroad cars and shipped over the! Oumber-land and Pennsylvania Railroad. Oil and carbide are: used by theminers for illumination.


During the year 1919 they employed 243 men, worked 218 days: andproduced 1.48,584 tens of coal.

JOHN SLUss Mine Foreman.

C'onsol Mine No. 3 is located at Hoffman one and onehalf miles eastof Fr'ostburg. It is a slope opening working the Pitt:sburg or Big VeinSeam of coal, and is developed on the double entry system.

Ventilation is produced by a steam-driven fan, and the air current isconducted to the working faces by overc:asts doors and brat.tices. It isfound .in a satisfactory and lawful condition.

Drainage is most difficult, and it is necessary to haver a number ofpumps and ditches in order to keep the drainage' in a lawful condition.Drainage is through the Hoffman ditch, which emptied into the Brad-dock Run at C'larsville.

The coal is mined by pick, blasted by black powder and is gatheredin the interior to a! side track by horses. and is conveyed t:o: the bottomof the slope by an electric motor. It is then ra.ised 7,500 feet to theoutside by a hoisting engine. It is then dumped into railroad cars andshipped over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad.

During the year 191.9 they employed. 192 men, worked 219 days andproduced 97,358 tons of coal.

H'uoo REMPEEL Mine Foremen.Oonsol Mine No. 4 is a. slope opening' working the. Pittshurg or Big

Vein c:oal seam. It is developed on the double entry system.\Te,ntifation is produced by a steam-driven fan, and is. conducted tc

t.he working faces by brattices.Drainage is very difficult,, but by the use of pumps and ditches it is

kept in a lawful condition.The roof is of a very dangerous c;hara.cter, owing to the, age of the

mine'. The timbering, however, is well looked after.The coa.l is mined by pick, blasted by black powder, and hauled to

the side traek in the interior by mules.. It is then conveyed to thebottom of the slope by motor, hoisted to the 'outside by means of a sta.-tionary engine, dumped into railroa.d cars and shipped over the Cum-berland and Pennsylvania Railroad.

During the yea.r 1919 they employed 104 men, worked 219 days andproduced 48,898 tons of coal.
