The Conflagration Now Existing in the Coal at Kidder Slope
The mining of anthracite coal in the Wyoming valley was begun by individuals or a few men associated together to furnish the necessary capital, and a slope was sunk, through or along the coal seam, about 300 feet from the out-crop on the “pitch” or dip; then gangways (tram road ways) were turned to the right and left, following the “strike” of the seam. on a slight inclination, to the boundary of the property, which in the early days of mining was not very wide, averaging some 2,000 feet.
