INTRODUCTION
PENNSYLVANIA INSPECTORS OF BITUMINOUS COAL MINES LEDGER 1900-1901
This is a transcription of the original handwritten ledger book used by the
Pennsylvania Inspectors of Bituminous Coal Mines covering the years 1900 and
1900.
The ledger was personally viewed and digitally photographed at the
Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in July 2006.
The Pennsylvania Bureau of Mines Inspectors were appointed by the state
governor to inspect the states active bituminous and anthricite coal mines, on
a regular basis, which was considered to be at least once every 3 (three)
months; to oversee, recommend and enforce safety procedures and regulations, as
set forth by the laws of the state of Pennsylvania and regulated by the
Department of Internal Affairs of Pennsylvania.
The Inspectors of the Bureau of Mines had no authority or jurisdiction over
small mines employing fewer than 10 people in respect to the then current
mining regulations.
Inspectors were required to record information regarding, production
tonnage, the number of employees including individual employee positions and
status, review daily record books of the Mine Foreman and Fire Bosses,
investigate accidents, both fatal and non-fatal, exam ventilation equipment,
record air flow, gas readings and monitour dust levels. Year end reports
included information regarding the amounts of explosives used in production,
inspections of haulage roads, safety equipment, verification of adequate
egress/exits in operations and drainage. Counts of the animals used both
inside and outside of the workings were regularly recorded as were the number
of coke ovens located on site.
Mine inspectors were also required to test miners looking to improve their
positions within the operations and conduct the required testing programs for
certification of mine foremen and fire bosses.
This ledger holds basic information pertaining to each bituminous coal mine
that was regulated by the states authority, listing the mine name, the mine
owners or operators, their county location and simple notations listing the
dates of each inspection.
The State of Pennsylvania, during the 1900-1901 time period, was divided
into mining districts as referenced here by county, many of these districts
overlapped one another.
1st Bituminous District - Allegheny, Fayette, Green, Washington and
Westmoreland counties.
2nd Bituminous District - Allegheny, Indiana and Westmoreland counties.
3rd Bituminous District - Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Clarion, Jefferson,
Lawrence, Mercer and Indiana counties.
4th Bituminous District - Jefferson, Elk, Clearfield, Tioga, Clinton,
Cameron, Centre, Lycoming, McKean, Armstrong and Bradford counties.
5th Bituminous District - Bedford, Fayette and Somerset counties.
6th Bituminous District - Cambria and Somerset counties.
7th Bituminous District - Allegheny, Washington and Beaver counties.
8th Bituminous District - Butler, Clearfield, Jefferson, Indiana and Centre counties.
9th Bituminous District - Fayette, Somerset, Westmoreland, Allegheny and
Bedford counties.
10th Bituminous District - Clearfield, Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Huntington,
Indiana, Jefferson, Centre and Cameron counties.
11th Bituminous District -Cambria, Clearfield, Somerset, Westmoreland and
Fayette counties.
12th Bituminous District - Armstrong, Indiana, Jefferson, Cambria, Centre and
Clearfield counties.
13th Bituminous District - Allegheny, Westmoreland and Washington counties.
14th Bituminous District - Allegheny, Beaver and Westmoreland counties.
15th Bituminous District - Cambria, Centre, Clearfield and Indiana counties.
This listing recognizes each of these state bituminous coal districts, the
duly appointed inspectors of each district, and if I was able to identify, the
individual township and/or the nearest town, city or station to the listed
mines.
Many of the township locations were verified using inheritated historical
records, maps and personal diaries which belonged to my great-great-
grandfather, Roger Hampson, who is listed as an inspector within these
transcriptions.

appointed to adopt revisions to the Mining and Ventilation Laws in the
Bituminous Coal Regions of Pennsylvania.

Note: This page ends the complete transcription of the 1900 Bituminous Coal
Mining District-Mine Inspectors Ledger which is held at the Pennsylvania
State Archives, part of Records Group 45, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
This is also a tribute to the tremendous legacy left by my great great
grandfather, Roger Hampson, and a true labor of love which has brought his and
his fellow State Mine Inspectors accomplishments' back to life.
Special thanks need go out to all the volunteers at the USGenWeb Project and
the PaGenWeb Project, for providing the knowledge and assistance in making these
sites possible and their continued pledge in making and keeping historical and
genealogical information "free and accessible" to everyone.
Thank you also to my good friend and research companion, Lesa VanSon, of Attica
NY, for her great camera skills and patience, to whom without her help,this
transcription would not have been possible. I am forever in their debt for their
support in allowing me to easily share with my fellow "Pennsylvania Coal Mining
Enthusiasts", this historically significant data.
Thank you,
