A: For the Year Ending, June 30, 1901 This report is treated under five Parts and an appendix as follows Introductory. Statistical Part I. Accidents Part II. Administrative Part III. Condition of Mines Part IV. Directory of Mines Part V. And the Appendix which includes the subjects of Legislation Rules as adopted by the coal companies and a description of the Elkhorn flood. The statistical tables in this report are 36 in number and aim to cover each subject in a manner sufficiently comprehensive to meet any and all demands. Mach table is prefaced with such explanatory re marks as will assist to make the subject matter clear. In the matter of accidents it becomes our duty LO record two mine disasters of unusual severity. One at the Berryburg Mine in Barbour County and another at the Farmington Shaft in Marion County. In the administration of the affairs of this department there has been an addition of one district inspector as the result of legislation. This additional force has been a great relief to this department since the development of mining has incr'e'a'sed so largely that it was impossible for the four district inspectors to make the required inspections within the time allowed by law.
