THE TWIN SHAFT REPORT.
Yesterday we gave an outllno of the re

Ooverner Hastings to iiirjuiiu into tho Twin
Shaft mine disaster at Huston. Through
the courtesy of .Mine Inspector William
Stein, of this district, we aie enabled tu pre

written legal cap paper, the first Installment
of which appears to-day and will bo con

Realizing the magnitude of the disaster,
mi which llfty-oiglit lives were lost, and the
-great interest manifested not only by the
miners if the stato but by every class uf
people, in tho repott of the commission as to
the cause of tho disaster and upon whom the
blaiiio rests, we have decided to devote

(Continued from 11 ret Pntc.)
foreman lor the Clear Spring Coal Company.
Our purpose was to lenrn whether tho tcrriMc
thrust had In nuy way nfiected the workings
nf tho Clenr Spring colliery or the ninety
(00) barrier pillar separating the two
collieries. We found that no disturlianu
that we could observe had taken place at this
point and that the barrier pillar hud arrested
the squeeze If it had approached the wester
boundary of the 1 win Shaft workings.
Wo visited tho bore hole drilled through
the Harrier Pillar, a distance of ninety feel,
and decided to tost the character of tho
atmosphere passing through it with a safety
lamp. A pipe was inseited into this hole,
with a valve attached and securely plugged.
After withdrawing the plug nnd opening tho
valve, we held a safety lamp twelve feet
frum and In front of tho bole, when wo dis
covcied an oxploslvo mixture coming through
from tlio Twin Shaft workings. Tho fact
that it was foiced through under considerable
pressure was evidence to us, in connection
witli tho kuowledgo we had already acquired,
that the Twin Shaft Mino workings wero
full of gas. The horo holo is nearly on tho
same level as the bottom nf tho Twin Shaft
and islmarkcd on the Map"H. H.N. (15 00 L"
We then visited what is known as tho
"Iiank l'nnn," sometimes called tho "Flats,"
under which nro part of tho Twin Shaft
workings, for tho purpose of examining with
reference to surface fractures, so as to enahlo
us to determine, In some measure, tho extent
of the crush. Wo went over these Hat lands
from tho Lehigh Valley ltailroad to bore
hole, marked on Map "It. II. Llev. Stir.
550.27" west, and along tho bank of tho
Susquehanna river to where tho Lackawanna
empties Into It ; thcuco along east on tho
northern bank of tho Lackawanna river to
the Lehigh Valley 1'allroad. Wo noticed
that tho squeeze had effected tho. surface all
over the "Flats" or "Hank Farm." The sur
fnco evidences, together with what we had
found to ho thu condition of tho inleiior of
the Twin Shaft Mine workings from near
tlio bottom of tho shaft, east to tho
Hurler Pillar, between this nnd the
Old Forge Coal Company, north to
boro holo and west to Harrier pillar, between
Clear Spring and tlio Twin Shaft, proved that
a largo teiritory of over two hundred acres
must havo broken down. The boro hole,
through tho Harrier pillar, was drilled with a
view to e'omiuunlcnte with any of the men
who might have escaped tho full and wan
dered in tho vicinity uf tho boro hole; hut
the rescuers wore rewarded only by an ex
cessive How of explosive gas; so that the
effort to reach the men from Clear Spring was
abandoned and every elrort put forth to ex
pedite tlio re-opening of No. 3 slope. How
ever, from our first visit to the colliery, we
wero of tlio opinion that but little hope
cuuld bo entertained of ever reaching the
Imprisoned men even through this opening.
In connection with the boro holo marked
"H. 11. Llev. Sur. 1550.27," wo inquired into
the character of the lock strata through
which It was sunk, and why it was put down
in front of tlio workings at this point. Mr.
Law informed us that a natural fissile hud
been discovered at this point, in the course of
mining the coal, and the Newton Coal Mill
ing Company determined to satisfy them
selves fully ns to the conditions and charac
ter of the rock strata. In older to accom
plish this they engaged Mr. II. P. 'Simpson,
boring contractor, to sink tlio hole. It "vvas
begun on the 7th day of February nnd com
pleted to a distance of 227 feet on March
17th, lSDll. It will be seen by the Hole Holo
Journal, furnished the commission, that the
Checker and Pittston veins are not cut in
drilling to the Many vein at this point, as
compared with a ciuss section through tho
Twin Shaft, furnished us by Mr. Law, which
also accompanies our leport. Tlio distance
from the tup of thu Twin Shaft to thu Maicy
vein Is about 225 feet, und thu distance from
thu tup of boru hole to tho Murcy vein is 210
feet, n dlfi'crcnco of six feet; and the difi'er-
encu of elevation between tlio tup of tho
Twin Shaft and tlio top of bore hole is 20
feet, ns shown on map.

width of chambers and headings, tho
chipping of coal from tho pillars for somo
thno, nnd tho falllug down of tho fifth
vein into tho sixth. Frank Haley, 35
years of age, n "gangway" miner, testified
that ho had worked In tho Twin Shaft Mine
since bo was a boy. Ho did not hear uny
squeezing. Ho was told that It was "squeez-
inc right into tho fifth vein," and would
havo worked that night (meaning tho 27th
of Juno) had not tho gU3 "shoved out." Ho
did not think it proper to stay where they
wuro staying. lie had a nakod lamp."
Frank Tracey testified that ho wns fifty
years of ngc, had worked in tho mines thirty
or tlilrty-ono years, twenty-six years as a
miner, and had worked iu the Twin Shaft
Mino In tho neighborhood of three years.
Ho could not give any cause, for the accident;
never thought his life was in danger from a
cavo-in, but was afraid of nn explosion of
gas many n timo. Thu pillars in tho Twin
Shaft were equal to the pillars In other col
lieries In which ho had worked, but tho
gangways wero not. Hu notieed tlio pillars
"chipping off."
Michael Langan testified ho was thiity
four years of ugo, and was a tiniherman by
occupation. Ho had workesl in this colliery
fourteen mouths ; had observed the pillars
squeezing and was afraid ; thought the pillars
were too small. On the night of Juuu 27th
tho-fire boss told thein "sho was caving in,
and wo could nut get iu on account of gas,
and I said it is timo to get out, and so I did."
Coming from No. 3 slope to bottom of shaft
ho did not notice any indications uf a
squeeze."
