Costly Timber Used In Anthracite Mines
The Vegetation Magazine notes the cost of every ton of anthracite rises eight cents due to mine timbers. Annual timber needs come from about 150000 acres of forest to supply cross ties, tram road rollers, and props. Timber sets average two legs nine to ten feet long with a collar six or seven feet long. Timbers are placed at five foot intervals. one gangway may hold around 1000 sets, and ten gangways per colliery is common. Timber life averages under two years with 45 percent decayed, others lost to wear breakage and insects. Proper seasoning and chemical treatment can extend service life.
