CAN BRIA COAL FIELDS. Written for the Snbatown Trivisne by Mine Trspector J.T.

It Bas been well wealth of a civilized country is largely the extent of the development of ite conl fields. This being true of conntries, | it is also troe of states and counties. I am phased to report that our monntainons little Cambria is rising her head high in the matter of coal pro. I might state hers, too, that, in the opinion of all, the coal which we are sending into the markets of the world ix second to none in quality for steam purposes: and what is now mined in Cambria county, it mast be remem or bed, but is mined at several points: thut many workable sams of excellent quality in our coal bearing strata. In the year 1585 the coal production of Cambria county was 1.158.181 tons; the average number of duys worked in which shows that the of same aver. age of days bad been worked in 1595 as po. in 1995 the production would be over 8,000,000 tons. It shows that the on pacity of the mines, if working full, is Cover 7,000,000 tons & Yaar, figures indicating millions, little think. ing what vast amounts they represent. Tuking the actoal prodoction of cur county for 1885.-4,800,000 tow it rep pesents 184,000 railroad cars of 35 tons capacity each, or 7,560 trains of 26 curs each, which would be ubout 24 trains of coal for each of the 312 working days in the year. It also means by the aid vance taking place on the first of April, of five comnts a ton, the sues of $273,000 for the 7,600 exaployes working in and abot the ines of Gur cont. dt may sb be of interest to state su font mines in the world that we have 3 “any record of. There was nbout 575.000 tone of coals siined for each fatal acl dent daring 1385 and pearly 1000 men eraployved, also, per each fital accident This is an anoeually high percentage of safety for our mines, the credit of which 1 attribute to the special care and precantion that was practiced by the miners and mine foremen of thin district during the past your, as a great pumber of the accidents generaily oo. curring in ali the mites are from oare- fesaness and a lack of proper preean- tion being taken. The Bituminous (foal sasoeiation ‘recently formed by the operators of the six different coal flelds of the State which ship to the sea board, | expect will be a special advantage to our ponnty, as almost the entire product of aur mines is shipped to tidewater.

Ro far as could be obtained the par. ticulars of the accident are as follows: A portable sw mill had been put into a smail tract of woodland near Fiyn- ton, the purpose being to cut op the timber preparatory to its being shipped to the marke. Flynton is a small village oni the line of the Cresson & Trvons rifiroad. The mill was owned and operated by J. A. Burgoon, and there were these men omployed on the work: ldsiah Gutes, his son Frank, Deawetrivs Motiough, all of Coalport, and Harry Burgoon, son of the owner, residing pear SL Augustine, All of the employes were in the mill when the holler suddenly exploded with awl force, instantly killing three of the men, injuring the fourth, and blotting the mil to atoms. The noise of the explosion was so great as to be heard a distance of thove miles. Those whi iret came opon the scene of the accident conld find few remains of the mill. Its parts had been scattered to the four paints of the compass. The bodies of the three desd men were also horribly mangled, and pieces of flesh and clothing were strewn for one hundred or more yards about the place of the'disuer. An idea of the force of ibe explosion may be formed when it ini stated that a part of the body of unfortunate Demetrios MoGough was found in the swinging top of a tree andl in onder to recover it the tree re to be ent down While the cacse of the accident is oll positively known it is stated that he boiler was withont a steam gauge anil that the safety valve would not “work.
