Coxe to Drain Beaver Meadow Mines Completed After Three Years' Work. A tunnel 500 feet in length, G feet wide and 7 feet in heighth has just been completed under Quakake mountain that will drain all the Coxe works on the South Side. This contract was commenced on December 12, 1898. The projector of the tunnel was the late Eckley 15. Coxe. whose heirs have faith fully carried out his plans. Mr. Coxe conceived and drew up the plans and specifications for the tunnel In 1884, but owing to the condition that prevailed at the time it was impossible to secure an outlet for the tunnel in Quakake valley, many of the farmers re fusing to dispose of their land. Those landowners later made concessions to Coxe Bros. & Co. that allowed the work to bo commenced in IS9B. The tunnel is driven from the lowest portion of the Coxe works in Beaver Meadow and will drain all the collieries of that company which had heretofore been kept dry by pumps. The tunnel was commenced on both sides of the mountain, one entrance be ing at Beaver Meadow and the other near the town of Quakake. In cutting through the mountain the tunnel tapped several small seatns of coal. None of these were more than a few inches thick, but may later load to veins that have not yet been worked. To connect all the Beaver Meadow collieries with the No. 4 slope, which is tapped by the tunnel, other holes will have to bo driven, and one of these, from the No. 4 slope to No. 2 slope, will bo a gigantic task in itself. This sub tunnel will be more than 1,500 feet in length, and will bo the important con necting link with all the workings of Coxe Bros. fc Co. 1n that vicinity The effect of the completion of the tunnel will be far reaching and of great benefit, as hereafter it will be impossible for an inundation of these mines to occur. The workings of Van Wicklo & Co., which are adjacent to tho Coxe collier ies, will ultimately be drained by tho tunnel. Only one fatal accident marked the construction of tho big tunnel. A driver boy was caught between a car and the timber and so badly squeezed that he died. Foster School Board.
