FIRE BOSSES IN MINES
: GUARD WORKERS’ SAFETY
With the fire boss in Pennsylvania | R yg gp
gassy bituminous mines rests the sat-
ety of hundreds of his fellow employ-
according to Walter H. Glasgow,
Secretary of Mines. He is the eariy
bird on mining operations, entering the
workings three hours before each shift
begins duty, examining carefully ev-
ery working place. After checking all
es,
places adjacent to live workings, every ;
roadway and every unfenced road to
abandoned workings and falls in the
mines, the fireboss leaves his approval
on the face and side of every place
examined. The date and time of the
examination is shown.
It is also the duty of the fire boss
to examine the entrance or entrances
to all worked-out and abandoned plac-
es in the section of the mine under
his charge where explosive gas is lik-
ely to accumulate. ‘At all times in
making such examinations he is
quired to use only an approved safety
lamp for lighting purposes.
i
re-
In the event that explosive gas is
. discovered, or immediate is
found to exist from any other source
a danger signal must be placed across
the entrance of the working place. The
meaning of such a signal is explained
to every miner. It must be explained
to the non-English speaking employ-
‘es in their several languages by the
danger
mine foreman, assistant mine fore-
man, or fire boss through an interpre-
ter.
A record of the work of the fire
boss is kept at the mine office, on the
surface, and immediately after his
checkup on the workings he is requir-
ed to report, writing in ink, a record
of the examination. This = record
shows the timé=requiréd to make the
examination, and also clearly explains
the nature and location of any danger
that may have been discovered. In
the event of discovering such danger,
the fire boss is also required to report
the location to the mine foreman. The
fire boss’ record is open for inspection
at all times by mine inspector and em-
ployes at the mine.
Wherever men are employed in the
mine a second the
same or another fire boss is required
during working hours. The mine fore-
man and fire boss are also required
to provide a permanent station with
proper danger signals mear the en-
trance to the mine. A fireproof vault
is provided in this station where the
tempory record book of the fire bosses
is kept.

The following article taken from
the Towanda Review is of consid-
erable local interest, being an ac-
count of the life and death of
Clark Willson who for nine years
lived the year around at Harvey's
Lake, his home being a house boat
built on barrels.
Clark Willson, once widely knows v
as an evangelist, traveler and a man
of considerable force of character, but
who has lived a retired life for
several years, died at the home of
his son, Hiram W. Willson, on South
Main street, Towanda, yvesterdal morn- Fa
ing at 2:30 a M. He was in his.
97th year. For the past two years fe ’
has had to spend most of his time in
bed. Last Tuesday morning he went
into a coma from which he never ral-
lied and gradually. grew worse until
the end came. Death was due to old
LN
age. :
Mr. Wilson was born at Swanze,
N. H., on January 10, 1836, his father
being a grist mill proprietor and in-
ventor of a turbine water wheel for
mill power. The original model of
this wheel is in the rooms of the
Bradford County Historical Society in
Towanda.

Left an orphan in early life, Mr.
Willson began to earn his living at
the age of 12 as a pack peddler in
New ‘England. Later he learned the
trade of iron moulding and traveled
from town to town as a moulder
first coming to Towanda about the-
year 1860 to work in the O. D. Bart-
lett foundry on Main street. While
working: in Wellsville, New York, he
‘met Miss Mary BE. Bliss,
and "ie Files om

their wedding trip bein

time in their lives they saw a rail-
road train. :
On August 1862 Mr. Wilson en-
listed as a soldier in the Civil war
being enrolled in Captain Merrill's
Company H of the Ohio Volunteer :
Infantry. He was invalided out of the
Army on December 22 of the samé
year and came to Towanda where he
worked as an iron moulder and later
drove the stage coach between To-
wanda and Waverly, N. Y. For a
time he also was an agent for fruit
trees, farm machinery, and pianos and
organs. He and Mrs. Willson also
conducted singing schools in Bradford
county for a time. 2 3

Their first engagement as singers
was with the Murphy temperance
campaign which swept the country
like wildfire between the years 1870
and 1880 and later. They had charge
of the singing and appeared before
millions of people singing the Bliss
gospel hymns and some of Mrs. Will-
son’s own composition as well as oth-
ers. Later they conducted revival”
campaigns both on their own respon-
sibility and with other evangelists.
They frequently sang in the Moody
and Sankey meetings, and in 1882 and
i883 they went to England, Scotland
and Ireland with Francis Murphy and
sang at his campaign meetings.
During travels they becama
