Show Mines Given Odd Names Speaking of queer mine mimes, writes a correspondent of Coal Age, I recall those of two little mines that were operated a few years ago when I was district mine inspector, which I believe will compete favorably with the "Struggling Monkey" mine, 'mentioned 'men-tioned in Coal Age; or the "Toadvine," or "Who'd 'a Thought," and are entitled en-titled to a place fu the front ranks of the list of queer mine names. The first is a little mine operated by the Dayton Coal and Iron company on its branch line two miles north of Dayton. It was called the "Tickly Gizzard" nine. Another little mine, located In Scott county and operated by the Paint Rock Coal company, went under the name of the "Possum Jaw" mine. |
