On this little railroad line the rolling stock consists of two locomotives, two pas- senger cars, three box cars, and four flat cars, the cost of all of which was about $35,000. The government owned and oper- ated coal mine is also under the re- clamation service, which has a power plant a little less than a mile nortn of Williston, N. D. Here coal fis mined to supply fuel for the power house in which electricity is gener- ated for the pumping station on a nearby irrigation project. The coal workings lie comparatively near the surface, being at an average depth of 100 feet. The main entrance to the tunnel is about 2,000 feet in length, and approximately six feet high and of the same width. The government has worked to make conditions for the miners as nearly perfect as possible. Good air is forced through the mine by ventilating shafts, and the workings are carefully drained and kept dry. Only a small force is needed to run the mine, the usual number of men employed averaging from twelve 1o fifteen. One hundred tons of coal a day is the output, and the miners are paid sixty to eighty cents per ton depending upon the depth at wh the coal is mined. Six to ten tons a day are mined by each man, and the average earnings, after expenses for explogives and supplies are de- ducted, are $3.50 to $5 a day of eight hours. Not a single fatal accident has occurred in the six years the mine has been operated by the gov- ernment engineers. The government has obtained the coal at a very rea- sonable price, the cost per ton aver- aging about $1.78, including all Grand ball given by the New Brit- | ain Hungarian Rakoczy Sick Benefit society Saturday afternoon and even- ! ing, April 25, in the old Turner hall on Arch street, Admission 25 cents. | Ladies free.—advt.
