Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal in Great Britain: The Composition, Structure, and Resources of the Coalfields, Visible and Concealed, of Great Britain The present work is intended to supply mining engineers, mine owners, and mining students with a concise account of the more important facts relating to the geology of coal generally, and to the composition, structure, and resources of the coalfields of Great Britain in particular. It is hoped, also, that the subject is treated in a manner which will prove useful to those who, though not directly concerned in getting coal, are dependent on coal for industrial purposes, and also to those who take a scientific interest in this important industry. In dealing with so comprehensive a matter within a comparatively small space, many details that are often of great local importance are necessarily omitted; and for the same reason controversial matter has been avoided. Chapters I. to VIII., which may be regarded as introductory, are reproduced, with many additions, from the authors work on the Geology of Coal and Coal-Mining, which formed the first volume of Arnold's Geological Series, and which is now out of print. The rest of the book, dealing with the coalfields of Great Britain, is in part a condensation of personal experience and observations in the field during a period of thirty years, and of facts collected from various publications, more especially those of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom and of the Federated Institute of Mining Engineers, to which the author here wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal and the Coal Mines In treating of so large a theme in so small a compass it is impossible to do more than make an outline sketch. It has been the aim of the author to give reliable information free from minute details and technicalities. That information has been, for the most part, gathered through personal experience in the mines. The literature of this special subject is very meagre, and the author is unable to acknowledge any real indebtedness to more than half a dozen volumes. First among these is the valuable treatise on "Coal Mining," by H. M. Chance of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Other volumes from which the author has derived considerable information are the State geological reports of Pennsylvania, the mine inspector's reports of the same State, and the "Coal Trade Annuals," issued by Frederick E. Saward of New York. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Coal Industry Knowing as I do most of the leaders on both the coal owners' and the miners' side, and entertaining for them the highest regard, it is to me Very regrettable to have perpetually to refer to the shortcomings of the industry. This, however, seems to be unavoidable when we have to deal with an industry which is at present the battling ground for a great and fundamental change. To quote a particular instance we have seen this industry held up to public criticism on account of the housing of its workers. Deplorable conditions have been shown to exist in some cases. This has earned the industry a bad name in many quarters. Yet, if we look at the matter fairly, should We not say that this is an evil no more peculiar to the coal industry than to any other? Have we not our slums That such things should be is indefensible and every effort is being made to-day to abolish this last remnant of a by-gone age, but they show that the coal owners are in no worse case than the generality of those responsible for the housing of the working classes.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIII. MODERN MINING.--MEASURES OF SAFETY AGAINST EXPLOSION. The deep sinkings approaching to 300 fathoms made in the Great Northern coal-field, at Monkwearmouth, Seaham, Ryhope, &c, about the middle of the present century, have been followed by a still deeper range of sinkings, in which the pits of the Lancashire and Cheshire coal-field have taken the lead. Here the Astley deep pit at Dukinfield reached a depth of 350 fathoms in 1858; at Rosebridge, Wigan, a depth of 408 fathoms was attained in 1869; and more recently the new winning at the Ashton Moss Colliery, Audenshaw, near Manchester, has been carried down considerably further, the "Great Mine" coal having been sunk to on the 5th of March, 1881, at the depth of 448 fathoms. Coincidently with the deepening of the mines, a continual enlargement of the shafts has been going on; and while at the commencement of the century a diameter of 12 feet was considered a suitable size for pits of 100 fathoms depth, at the present day the Lancashire pits are being made 16 or 18 feet in diameter, to work the coal lying at depths of from 200 to 400 fathoms, and in a few instances even larger sizes have been adopted. The improvements in the mechanical engineering of collieries have more than kept pace with the increasing depth of the mines, and by means of powerful winding engines (reaching at times as much as 1,500 horse-power), acting directly on drums from 15 to 30 feet in diameter, coals are drawn at many important collieries at the rate of 100 tons or more per hour: the cage, with its load of four, six, or eight carriages, containing two or three tons of coal, travelling in the quickest part of its run at the speed of a mile per minute, or equal to that of an express train.
