!ID!
PROSPECTIVE OUTPUT FOR ENSUING YEAR
SUPERIOR

By Frank 8., Davis,

Mine Superintendent

"AN MINE:

No. 3 Seam:
The slope in this mine was stopped at No. 6 North Entry within
about 110 feet of the boundary.

The 6th north entry is in 320' feet, the

6th south 500 feet, being turned to parallel the section line at 340 t eet.

N~. 3 south entry has been driven to the boundary, all rooms and
pillars finished, and we are coming back with the entry pillars and stumpa.
No. 4 South has but a short distance to go before reaching the
boundary.

This entry will have 33 rooms.

All are up full length to 23,

·and pillars are being drawn in as far as room 18.
No. S South ha.a 33 rooms turned, the first 9 being f'inished and
pillars being drawn.
No. 3 Nd~h Entry is nearly finished,

.only a small amount of entry

pillar remaining to be recovered.
No. 4 North is also pretty well worked out, room pillars being
moatly finished out to 13 room.
The 5th North Entry was driven to the boundary during the past year,
and ha.a only recently had any rooms opened.

Thirteen rooms are now advanc-

ing and an experiment is being tried here by driving them 40 feet wide in■tead
ot standard 30 feet.
This mine is being worked out very rapidly, but will have a leas output in the future beoauae of the increased length of haul, dimini ■hillg the number ot trip• which can be hoiated by the pr• ■ent equipment.

�"A" '.MINE:

No. l Seam:
Development in this mine has been retarded in order to allow the
mthdraual of the coal in No. 3 seam, which is directly above, without causing
trouble in that mine through subsidence of the strata b~tween.
All pillars have been drawn in the 4th north and 4th south entries
and they are coming back ,rith the entry stumps.
Rooms are all finished on the 5th North Entry and pillars being
drawn.

Eleven rooms are advancing in the 6th South.
The 6th North Entry was retarded by water,

spring, but is now advancing.

causing heavy caves this

The slope has not advanced during the past

year but will now be driven to the boundary and the lower entries turned as
fast as they are reached.
II

A" MINE:

no. 7 Seam:
This mine was finally finished and abandoned .l ast October.
North "A" has remained closed throughout the year.
"B" MINE:

Closed down during the year.
"C" MINE:

Development work in this mine has been only in 8, 9 &amp; 10 South Entries,
work in the 10th South having been resumed in the latter part of January.

Pan-

el planes from 8 South to 6 South have been driven through,to and including the

.

6th plane, and the 7th and last one is now started.

This entry will reach the

boundary in the next six months, but it will not be pushed after passing the 7th
panel plane.
The 9th South has 21 rooms turned, all advancing, and is in tar enough

�for eleven moreo

The 10th South is in far enough for 20 rooms, none turned.

The 4th and 5th South Entries have been finished, all pillars having
been dratma
There are a fev pillars remaining in 6th South, but this entry t7i.ll
be finished during the next 12 monthsa
In the 8th South, Noo 1 and 2 panel planes have been finished.

Room

pillars are being -drawn in the 3rd panel, and rooms in the 5th are rapidly
approaching their limit.

All rooms are advancing on the 6th.

The 4th panel plane is being held in reserve in order to hold up the
tonnage from this entry \'lhile the entry pillars are being drawn.
Room pillars are being dravrn in the lath North while nothing has been
done in the 11th North, ~hich is in Section 16.
It is intended to drive the slope far enough to turn the 11th South
Entry in the near future.

A barrier pillar will be left between the top of the

rooms in 11 South and the 10th South back Entry, similar to the one left between
9 and 10 North.

The hoist at this mine broke down in August, 1915, and, as it was
found that it would take three weeks at least to get the necessary repairs, it
was decided to remove the aoo HP, AC Hoist from No. 4 Iftne at Reliance to this

mine.

This was accomplished in ten days, by working day and night, and the

new hoist has been working satisfactorily since that time.
On account of the increasing length of haul, at least 75% of the output now coming trom the 8th South and below, it is no longer possible to maintain
a 1200 ton output at this mine, 1100 tons being the probable daily output next
winter.

Ue are now hoisting 16 car trips .in place of the former 12, which ia

about all the present draw bars will stand.

�"D" MINE:

No. 1 Saam:
Pillars have been drawn in 5 North and are being drawn in 5 and 6
South.

A good many rooms having caved while this mine was shut down, it has

been necessary to skip these pillars from the bottom up, decreasing the percentage of machine coal.
The 7th South Entry has been driven to the boundary and the escape
way connected up to 6 South.
ing drawn.

All rooms are finished and the pillara are be-

No. 8 South Entry is advancing and will soon reach the boundary.

Pillars are being drat'm from rooms l to 11 inclusive.

Rooms 12 to 20 ar·e

standing at about 100 feet; inside from 20 to 32 are only turned.
9th South Entry is in to 18 room, none advancing.

The slope was

started in May, it being the intention to drive it far enough to turn the 10th
South.
Nothing has been done on the North side of this mine except that in
5 North, heretofore mentioned, and a little pillar work, now finished, in the
triangular piece of Section 19 above 3 North.
No effort has been made to get over 800 tons per day from this mine,
as this was all that was needed last winter.
Shaking screens were installed here last winter and a fn cars of
excellent lump coal loaded.
11

D" MINE:

No. 3 Seam:
This mine has remained closed since November 7th, 1914.

That por-

tion ot the mine above 5 and 6 South in No. 1 shows no signs of aubsidenoe
since the pillars were drawn beneath it.

�"E" MINE:

Upper "E", formerly known as "B" Mine, has finished all development

work and has been producing nothing but pillar coal !or several months put.
The output is now about 150 tons per day, and this can probably be maintained
for a couple of years yet.
Lower "E" has made rapid progress throughout the year.

The slope

is now down past the 11th North Entry and 8, 9 and 10 and 11 North are all
advancing.

No. 8 north is nearly to the boundary.

No

development has been

done on the south side a.s conditions in this direction are not encouraging,
the rook thickening very rapidly.

At no time has the rock in the slope di ■-

appeared, although, at timee it has been not over 12 inches thick.

Considerable new territory is now open in this mine, and the output
can be materially increased as soon aa the new motor for the hoist hae been
installed.
The 6th South Entry has been finished, all room pillars .withdrawn,
but a squeeze occurring here caused the loss of a part or the entry pillara.
The 7th North is in to the boundary and all room pillars are coming
back.
The 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th North Entries are all advancing.

Pil-

lars are being drawn on the 6th, 7th and 8th South.
The old hoist was replaced by the one ~emoved from "C" Mine when the
300 HP hoi1t from Reliance was put there, but . as this was a 500 volt machine,
and we are using it at 250 volta, thu ■ getting only one-half it1 former ■peed,
it only slightly inorea11d the capacity.

A new 200 HP 250 volt motor haa been

ordered and when inrialled will enable us to largely increase the output from
Lower "E", which i• now about 600 torus.
During the put year much extra work has been done in thi1 mine.

�The slope has been straightened, uidened and made higher from 7 North to 11
North, and heavy rails ( 4o/l) laid to replace the temporary 16# track.

Three

new overcasts have bean built, one each across the slope and manway at 9 North
and one across the 7th North Entry.

A new sump of 16 hours storage capacity

has been dug belo~ 10th North and a ne~ triplex electric pump 120 gals. capacity has been purchased and installed.

A 6-inch discharge line has been laid

from here to the bore hole discharge near the shaft, replacing two former 3"
and 2i-" lines, the pipe from same being recovered for use elsewhere.

T his

has been a tedious and expensive job but was necessary for the continued
drainage of the mine.
To improve the venitlation, a supplementary aircourse was driven
from 6th South to 4th South paralleling the former one,and the first room in
each of the north entries, from 6 North down, has been driven through narrow
and is used as an additional return for the north side of the mine.
The system of timbering adopted last year, under which qe maintain
one track in each room by a series of cribs paralleling it inducing the other
side to cave by withdrawing props, bas proved it's worth and has not appreciably increased the amount of timber used.
On the outside. picking belts have been installed at the rescreener
and the quality of egg and nut coal considerably improved.

Shaking screens

are in contemplation at the shaft to improve the lump coal.

GENERAL:
A small cupola was installed near the machine shop and the first iron
castings were made last November.

OWing to limited capacity, the direct cost

of castings bas been rather hight, but when time saved and delays obviated are
considered, this has proba~ly been a paying investment.

The direct costs are

also decreasing as castings for all the Union Pacific coal mines in Wyoming

�are no~ being made here.

A brass foundry in connection is doing excellent

uork and saving money on machine ropairso
On Labor Day, September 1st, 1915, a First Ai.d contest was held at
Rook Springs and a pick.ad team from the Superior mines carried off the honors,
\,inning a trip to the Pan-American exposition at San Francisco.

They won

first prized in the one man event in the preliminary contest there, finishing
10th in the finals with a percentage of 920
First Aid has been encouraged and good interest taken throughout
the year.

A Government oar, in charge of Mr. Riggs, spent a week here in

February and forty-one men took training in rescue work and seventy-seven in
First Aido

There is quite a good library in First Aid Hall, acquired by pur-

chase and donation, about two hundred volumes being now on the shelves.
Other than a short-lived strike at "A" last November, caused by a
few agitators, there have been no labor troubles during the past year.

Advan-

tage \"Jae taken of the strike to get rid of the troublesome element in that local, about thirty-five men failing to be reemployed when the strike was ended.
Labor is becoming scarce, and more men could be employed in the mines
if they were available.
Several cases of scarlet fever developed in the community d~ing
February, March and April and six deaths occurred from this cause.

Prompt and

vigorous measures were taken to suppress the disease, the schools being closed
twice, once for ten days and once for a week, and a serious epidemic was averted.

other than this, no contagion has appeared and the sanitary condition of

the camp has been maintained at a high standard.
Two accidental deaths occurred during the year in the Superior mines.
Fred Reancont, and Italian, being killed by a tall of rock in ••D 11 Mine on Novem-

ber 23d, 1915, through bis own and his partners' neglect to set props.

Hie

�tuo partners uere discharged.
Y. Arisumi, a Japanese, was killed in "A" !wine through getting bis
leg caught in a mining machine on February 16th, 1916.

This seems to have

been an entirely unavoidable accident pith no one to blameo

�SUPERIOR MINES

Report of Conditions Regarding the Use of Explosives
By T. H. Butler, Po~der Inspector
Period Ending April 3oth, 1916.

During the month of I•,lovember 1915, a test 'l.'Jae made of the
EL No. 81 A Permissible pouder, in E ~ine, and uhile the results were
fairly good the fact that it requires fully as much of the E L No. 81 A
powder as it does of the black pouder, to get the same results, and the
cost of the E. L. No. 81 A being much greater than that of the black
pouder, the use of the black povrder was continued.

The coal in the

Superior mines is fragile and very easily broken in the blasting and
handling, and experiments have proven that we can produce a much better
grade of coal by the use of black powder than with the Permissibles.
C and F black powder is used exclusively in the Superior
mines, vii.th the exception of E mine where a small amount of .Artie No.
6 powder is used in the Slope and Hanway, on account of the extreme wet
condition of these places and the strong roe~ band in the coal seam.
All blasting of machine mined coal is done with electricity,
and that done by miners with sulphur squibs.
after the men are out of the mines.

All blasting is done

The rules governing the use and

handling of explosives are strictly complied with.

Clay is used for

stemming, and wooden tampers for tamping purposes, and every precaution
is taken to avoid accidents from the use of explosives. ·
