COAL MINING REFERENCE BOOK
Fifth Edition, Revised
Kentucky Mining Institute 1997

This Revised Fifth Edition of the Coal Mining Reference Book is intended to fill the need for a simple, easily understood text of mining terms and problems that also addresses the importance of the safety and health of mine workers.  It should not be considered a textbook, but rather a reference manual from which those desiring to improve their knowledge of mining may obtain valuable information.  Students will find it especially helpful in preparing for examinations for fire boss, mine foreman, and mine inspector.  The material presented is mostly in question-and-answer format and is in simple terms and language.  For those seeking knowledge of mining beyond the scope of this book, there are numerous textbooks, vocational training, and correspondence courses available.  In revising this book, every effort was made to update the information to reflect current mining practices.  As changes in mining technology occur, the book will be revised periodically to provide the most recent information available.
