Received my copy of the book and greatly enjoyed it. The pictures were especially great and I learned a lot about the role that mules played in early mining operations.

9. Durham Miners in PA [1]
My great great grandfather, THOMAS TAYLOR (1844-1921), was a County Durham miner, from the Bishop Auckland area, who moved to Clearfield County, PA , with his family, in 1887. There were many other English miners there as well as Scottish miners, including my great great grandfather GEORGE SINCLAIR (1848-1930), who came from the Bothwell area of Lanarkshire. My information is that both of these men, along with many other English and Scots miners, were indeed recruited to come to PA. Clearfield County wa

Greetings, For everyone that has enjoyed David's stories, I just found out that he has a new coal mining book for sale ! "Once A Man, Twice A Boy" I have just sent for a copy and can not wait to see it ! I would hope that everyone that has enjoyed his stories would support his effort in keeping the memory of our coalmining ancestors alive ! Sincerely, Diana Gately ONCE A MAN, TWICE A BOY The following is a brief synopsis of my new book. The book, "Once A Man, Twice A Boy," starts out with two pages o
11. Methanometer [1]
Question? When did they first start using equipment to measure methane and oxygen with an instrument called a methanometer? A coal miner friend of mine thinks it was 30 years or so ago. I just wonder when this instrument was invented and by whom? Also, if the Davey's Safety Lamp loses its flame or goes out this would signify that there is a lack of oxygen in the mine. If so, why did they use mine canaries? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave Kuchta
12. RE: Durham Miners in PA [1]
William's family history matches so many other miners of that time frame. If you look at the census records you see the same families that were in Tioga in 1870 are in Clearfield in 1890. When the Tioga mines slowed down whole mining communities picked up and moved to Clearfield my family were also part of that move.

Hi Dawn (& Listers), The letter to the local newspaper I referred to, as follows:- Whitehaven News, Thursday, September 11th 1879 THE CLEATOR MOOR MINERS IN COLORADO Sir, - You must excuse me for intruding on the space of your valuable paper, but seeing a small paragraph in one of your contemporaries relative to the Cleator Moor emigrants in Colorado, we consider it our duty to our fellow workmen on Cleator Moor and the surrounding neighbourhood, to give our opinion of

Dear Tony, The publication you want is The Monmouthshire Merlin, a newspaper that would carry that information. I remember somebody at: http://members.aol.com/Phaeton54/index.html who had an index of surnames. I have tried the site just now, and it was unavailable. Others in this discussion list might be able to help out with this.

15. Wire Rope [1]
Wire Rope- Its Adaptability to Mine Service This information was taken from The Practical Miners Guide of 1855. Wire rope has nearly superseded hemp in the mining service, and as it is an object to the miner to know the best means by which to hoist or transport minerals, I will lay before the readers some remarks collated from the best practical authorities. The Late Frederick Overman, in his work on Mining and Metallurgy, has some excellent remarks upon this point. "Chains have been used, but they are f

Could I make a small request? I almost didn't open this mail with the subject line "check this site out" as I have a lot of problems with unwanted junk mail of the pornographic type, but have managed to reduce the incidence of this kind of stuff by not opening any mail with even a slightly suspicious looking subject line. Please, could everyone use a really clear subject line which relates in an obvious manner to what they are writing about. I'd hate to miss some of the interesting things on this s

I received my January/February copy of "REALM" magazine today and in it is an article about Freeminers working coal mines in the Forest of Dean. It is not a long article but it does have several photos of interest. The article also mentions that the Deputy Gabeller (the keeper of the coal who regulates mining in the Forest) has a book in which men have registered for centuries, thus giving them the right to mine the coal. This might be of interest to anyone whose ancestors were freeminers down through th
