Mining reports praise and tragedy in Vancouver coal fields
The Nanaimo Courier reviews coal mining in Vancouver area works, noting 45 to 240 workers across Vancouver Coal and Land Company, Wellington, East Wellington, and Union collieries with daily earnings from 3.50 to 4.50 and plant values up to 350000. It highlights a deadly explosion at Wellington No 5 pit, 77 deaths, and details ventilation and safety measures across mines, plus a Minister of Mines report on 1888 coal output of nearly 490000 tons and high mine safety standards.
