The following comment from a mine operator in this cpunty who has charge of a gassy mine states that he is sure the persons who take pleasure in shooting power lines in two or breaking insulators on high voltage lines do not understand the dangers to which they are subjecting the employees of gassy coal the contract that expired June 30 mines.
