LoNGWALL Mining and Emery Pit—Burland G43 changed hands and the Dominion Coal Company decided to sus-pend operations here in 1.S93. The company pumped out theidle pit in 1905 and commenced the longwall face. In 1900 ashaft was sunk at a distance of 2,000 feet from the lower landingof the drift and the present pit bottom was laid out. The deepswere driven and connected on the 2Gth of July, 1907, withthe advancing deeps from the working slope. These advancingdeeps were driven at a very uniform rsLie. Punchers were used to undercut the coal which was shot downand loaded by the same method as is treated later on in narrowwork discussions. 6,500 feet of 15 feet (average) gangways were driven with600 feet of 10 feet cross cuts, making 21,300 tons of coal. The shaft and pit bottom were laid out by contract. Coalwas hauled up the deeps to the shaft in July, 1907. In 1906 the output was 100,617 tons. In 1907 the outputwas 163,000 tons. Standard Costs.
