Sky somewhat grayish and cloudy  - Sun well hidden all day  - otherwise pleasant  - 

Both Collieries worked 9 hours  - 
We will receive our 147 allotted cars for the week, for both Collieries in 2 days, although the R.R. Co will run cars 3 days -  Much better to run 2 days straight ahead than have broken time  - 

At Vulcan had 6 gms of Chestnut condemned today 2 East Side, and 4 from West -  East Side averages 5% slate & 7% Bone -  West side 4% slate & 6% Bone - We had very little condemned coal at Vulcan lately, but it is now getting back in the same old rut - 

Mr Jones has given orders that none of our bosses are to give out orders for any kind of material, and that everything ordered, must be accompanied by a written order from N. B. Office

Steel segments have been put on the Pea coal Rolls at Vulcan - Today is their first day to run -
