Summary of Records
Scope and Content
The coal mine inspector maintained correspondence as it related to carrying out his responsibilities. He received letters discussing mining regulations, inspection visits, staffing and personnel issues, recommendations for employment or certification of specific individuals, mineral analysis of coal samples, and miners' personal and family problems. Correspondents included national and state government agencies, mines and companies related to coal mining, and individual miners or members of their families. The inspector recorded most responses in letter books, but he sometimes kept outgoing letters with incoming correspondence. Inspector John Pettie (1907-1916) also filed some correspondence addressed to him in the capacity of a Mormon bishop.
