DESCRIPTION: |
| HISTORY: [The following information on the Anchor Mine is taken from the "Report of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite and Bituminous Coal regions of Pennsylvania, for the year 1889."]
Anchor Mine, near Dunbar, PA, is owned by the Pennsylvania
Mining and Manufacturing Company. The condition of this mine is in
general good. I found that the ventilation on the eighth left flat
was somewhat dull. The posting in the miners' rooms was not good and
several minor matters required attention, all of which the management agreed
to remedy and excused themselves for not having done so on the score or plea
of long idleness. The mine had been in operation but a day of two (at
the date of my visit) after several weeks suspension, which was caused by
labor difficulties. |
