From Forward: "This bulletin is the first of a new series, which includes analyses of only tipple and delivered coal. It covers samples collected throughout the United States from July 1, 1947 to June 30, 1950 (fiscal years 1948-50). It is planned that future publications of this series will cover a period of one fiscal year only and be issued as soon as possible after June 30 of each year."

From Introduction: "The investigation of barrier pillars in the Southern field is part of the comprehensive study of the mine-water problem in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania by the Federal Bureau of Mines (1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18).

From Introduction: "This so-called thermal-solution process and a modification of it, wherein the conversion is carried out under a high partial pressure of hydrogen, have been studied at the Petroleum and Oil-Shale Experiment Station, Laramie, Wyo., to determine their applicability to Green River oil shale. The results of this work are presented in this report."

From Scope of Report: "This report discusses the nature of stream-bed and surface seepage problems and mentions remedial measures devised by some anthracite-mining companies to prevent seepage of surface water into their mines."

From Introduction and Summary: "This report gives results of an investigation of the carbonizing properties of two Tennessee coals, one from Jellico bed Campbell County and the other from the Sewanee bed in Marion County."

From Summary and Conclusions: "The methods described in parts I and II are used largely to detect the cationic constituents of minerals and boiler-scale materials by means of atomic or line spectra. Part III gives results of an investigation of the molecular or band spectra of the visible region made to determine whether any additional anions could be detected by this means. Part IV lists equipment for visual spectroscopic analysis that is available commercially."

From Introduction: "The injury data and experience at coal mines in the United States for 1949 are presented in this bulletin under the following general sections: (A) General injury experience: 1. Tables 1 to 18: Contain current data on number of injuries, frequency and severity rates, average severity, major and detailed classification of injuries, and distribution of injuries by part of body and days of disability. (B) Selected injury data: 1. Tables 19 to 45: Contain current data on various selected factors of operating and physical conditions that have contributed to occurrence of injuries at bituminious-coal mines and at Pennsylvania anthracite mines. (C) Injury experience by States: 1. Tables 46 to 52: Contain current data on number of injuries, frequency and severity rates, average severity, major classification of injuries, injury records of all coal-producing States, and the relative standing by States according to injury-frequency rates. (D) Appendix: 1. Tables 53 to 84: Contain certain injury data for the years 1943-1947 that have not heretofore been published."

From Summary: " A Low-Tempeature carbonization assay test is described, and factual data derived from this test are presented. The test procedure outlined in this report incorporates a mild-steel retort of improved design an accurately controlled method of heating, and a complete collection and condensation system for the solid, liquid, and gaseous products of carbonization."

From Scope of Report: "This report summarizes the engineering study conducted during 1952 by engineers of the Federal Bureau of Mines seepage of surface water into mine workings underlying the Western Middle field drainage area."

From Summary: "To obtain a reliable picture of the anthracite-mine-water problem and to solve that problem, it is necessary to have factual data on the volume and the quality and character of mine water handled by pumping plants in the anthracite region, as well as kinds of pumps utilized and problems concerning their operation. The main conclusion that be drawn from an investigation of drainage practices in the anthracite region is that, although efficient pumping layouts, tunnels for draining active mines, and large-scale surface-drainage facilities for keeping water out of mines are in use, the anthracite industry still is threatened with curtailment, to a major degree, and premature extinction because of the encroachment of water, unless remedial action is undertaken in the vary near future by all interests concerned."

From Preface and Summary: "In this paper the authors present facts to show the prevalence of static electricity in the average hospital anesthetizing area, and the degree to which this easily developed electrical form of energy constitutes an explosion hazard."

From Introduction and Summary: "This paper gives results of an investigation of the composition and carbonizing properties of coals from Beckley bed, Caretta No.5 mine, Susanna, McDowell County, and Glen Rogers No. 2 mine, Glen Rogers, Wyoming County, W. Va.

From Summary: "The investigation of barrier pillars in the Western Middle field is part of the comprehensive study of mine-water problem in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania by the Federal Bureau of Mines (1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16)." From Introduction: "The purpose of this report is to give factual data on barrier pillars that will be helpful in solving the mine-water problem."
