Excerpt from Reports of Mine Inspectors: For the First, Second and Third Districts of West Virginia, for the Years 1895 and 1896
On being notified of the fact, I went at once to investigate the cause. 1 found the cause to be from blasting coal from the solid, which ignited the dust.
I gave them orders to stop shooting coal from the solid, as I had done several times before, also to keep the mine thoroughly watered.
Since they have complied with my instructions the mine is in a good and safe condition.
As long as they work the mine on the present system, I can see no reason to fear a repetition Of the former disaster.
