Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite Coal Regions of Pennsylvania for the Year 1878 Sir: In accordance with the requirements of the act of Assembly, I have the honor of herewith submitting my annual report of tonnage of coal shipped, list of accidents, and such other matters as may be of interest to those engaged or interested in mining, for the First or Pottsville division of the mining district of Schuylkill. The total number of casualties during the year in the district has been forty-four, classified as follows, viz: Fourteen fatal and thirty non-fatal, which, in comparison with former years and in proportion to the quantity of coal mined, it is a source of infinite gratification to be able to report so great a diminution; and with the same amount of improvement in collieries, and care on the part of those employed in the future, we will soon reach the minimum of casualties in this hazardous business.
