Published by order of the Lords Cconmissioners of Her Majesty'l Treasury, 1653 • d! brief sketch of the modes iif working the bedi of coal and ironstone in South Strafford shire is given, with a view of ecording gen lAi ertilly the practical methods, opted at the present time, for the extractio of thoie rich stores of mineral wealth of which the geo logical relations have btlan described in the preceding pages. - , The acknowledged requisite for the most advantageous method of working, viz., the combination of the cheapest Mode of extrac ting the, greatest possible quantity of mineral, with the safety and comfort of the men, has in this district been greatly modifiettby the circumstances of position and an adherence to long established customs. In a few rare instances only have any attemptivbeen made to substitute a new' system for the old rout ine, and to such it will be needful to Advert after we have viewed the principal feat ures of the practice almost universally fol lowed. Its the first place, the division of the ground into separate works is guide 4 by the fatilts which, m so many_instances, constitute nat ural boundaries, and by the depth from the surface of the deposits propd to be work ed ; .and an observer, conversant with' dis tricts of coal where extensive Unbroken areas are worked at great depths by few shafts, cannot tail to be struck with fhe appearance of the South Staffordshire field, dotted over as it is with innumerable shafts, and defortn ed by the large waste heaps of slate and slack, which so frequently surround them: The cause of this, lying in the subdivision into small 'areas,- the comparative shallow ness of the workings, and conaticive no doubt to simplicity in all-the internal! arrangements, affords such facilities for secu r ing the desid• rata above , alluded to, that iopust be a mat- . r of surprise to find that cerlaiti ancient in complete usages should so \ long have held their ground. ` The shafts by which access, to the coal add ironstone measures is to be obtained, are sunk two together, at a disnince of 6 or 8 d yards assunder, and with adiameter of 6 or 8 feet. Each shalt being intended for a sin gle rope 'or " band," is surmounted by a head-frame carrying' one bread pulley of cast iron, and. the whimsey engine is so placed as to be able to serve ttto shafts at once. raising a loaded. " skip" in the one/ and lowering_ an empty one in the other, a-the same time. The difficulties of sinking, asl regards watery strata, being inconsiderable,,except in some few 'sasesi the ingenious and expensive ap plication of Wooden or,iron fubbing. practi sed so fr equently in the Belgian, and in our northern coal fields, is almost! unknown; and the shafts are lined with brick work, unless when they pass through ' stiata sufficiently strong -to stand permanentlY without sup port. The area of theshafts is free from any obstructtop, no " guides" being employed to 'regulate the passage of the "skips" or Insoles upon which the coal is piled In large masses, surrounded by loose " - rings't• of sheet, iron. andifrona which less than might be expected falls'off during the ascent. I Ponderous flat chains of three links, alternately short and long, .with slips of wood inserted through the long links, are most frequently used for the drawing,, l and for shafts of moderate depth are very effective and safe. . Taken apart from minor diitails. the modes of working the mines are two in number. the first applied to the important ,beds called the "thick coal," and the I" pew, mine; and the second, termed." long work," (not like the former, peculiar to the district;) em ployed in thiother coal seams of froth two to five feet in thickness, and 'n the ironstone measures. . The workings of the ten-yard-coal are di vided into compartments termed sides of work, ivhich are separated from one another by "ribs," or walls ofcoal, from 8 to 10 yards thick, and of which no more are kept open at once than can be maintained in activity. From the main roads, termed gale - roads, each side of work, unless' commenced near the outer boundary, is accessible only thro' a 1 narrow opening cut. like ttie gate road it self, in the lowerpart of the seam. "Stalls" are then driven out in the coal, each of them , B,or 10 yards wide, and are Crossed again by similar galleries, leaving between them pil lars of 8 or 10 yards square,. but 'varied of course in dimension, according to local dr cumstanees. For additional seetnity dung the working, small pillars I of 3 or 41 yards sqeare at the base, termed Own of ussr, are sparred out of the solid coal; wherever it is I deemed necessary ; to be rapidly prostrate d add carried off, when the still is-fully open ed. Ba t t the driving of the Stalls themselves is a work involving no little waste of coal I and insecurity to the colliers ; the mass of coal of 8 yards wide having to be undercut, or hided about a couple of rills in, a large amount of coal is cut up Leto slack by the " pike" or Collier's pieli, mad the men are exposed to continual risk from falls of coal. As the various portions of the seam are suc cessively "cut" at the side Of the stall, and broughtl down, the collier* have tovount on heaps of slack or light Wooden stages. and are ;necessarily exposed to still greater danger. . . There is, in fact, perhapsiscarcely any sit uation more suggestive of I feeling i ol awe. than a side'of work In thel" thick seam" - when a' large fall of coal s - brought down from the dusky heights of 'that lofty cham ber: the thunder of the falling masses which , seem to shake the solid earth and fill 'the air with a thick cloud of dust, contrasting fear fully with 'the dead silence which• ensues, and, which the hardy collier, scarce break.by a whisper, whilst in ouspense they listen for 'the slightest crack which hnight portend a farther fall. When a compartment bas i thosbeencleared and the large'pillars sometimes a little thin ned, the " Clack" or small coal and dust is left in heaps, and to guard against the spon taneous combustion. apt tol ensue from the decomposition of small putieletrof pyrites, a dam is placed in the " bolt hole," and this portion cut off from all'comMunication with the rest of the workings. t l g ,, The second mode of get , by what is called long-work, need not' be described at length, being very similar to that pmeticed in Shropshire. Derbyshire,l acid other dis tricts ; it ft, al elsewhere, variable as ordiog to the conditions of the roof ice,' the road ways being !sometimes. driyen out through the "whelecoal."which is then worked back towards the shafts. in other eases the roads being maintained ' through the " goli" or h waste from which the coal s been removed, es the extraction proceeds from the shafts to- wards the limits of the Seidl Very important, however in an caleconomi point of view, both to tbe lord of the soil,, and to the lessee, as well toI the interests of humanity„ is the success which has attended the efforts of certain coal owners to, get the ten-yard coal on the princildetiot "longwork," as exemplyfied in the pits ofhlessrs.

It is not too much to assert. that from 00 e* third td one-half of the coal is, thus left use -less, (same little only of the ribs-and pillars being asterw*rds recoverable in a damaged condition.) an amount'of sqtumdered natural advantages almost without parallel. - ' By. the common plan .ft is; considered that 16,000 tons of Coal obtained ftom an acre of ground represents a very fair produce, and no doubt a v much lower numberis often ob tained. .'At Footer's _th e coal worked in two divisions. the met Itet first. by loor work, and then some months afterwards, when the "shnt " or tool Ma fidly subtitled. the lower balls Worked by the game method. and a torsi maw id tram 116,000 to 310300 SEI tons of coal to the acre is procurable, and it twangy be added to the concluston - . s 1111 g. bested by : a ciamtparison of these numbers, ' that: under, this newly applied system, there has hen enjoyed a comparative immunity rom those frequent and frightful itetitieni s • which have gained the workings of the thick , coal a,.,:neet cue viable notoriety.
