Foggy this morning - cleared up a little this PM - Sun came out about 1 oclock, now and then.  Clouds and sunshine - Pleasant this evening

Both Collieries idle today - R.R. Co. ran cars, but we received our allotment for today during last two days.  Ran through 7 1/2 Cars of Condemned Nut Coal at Vulcan today -

Getting out Rock at Both places - Have a large body of men working at both Collieries - general repairing -

Received bill of lading for Locomotive, [[insert]] (For Burton 3rd Lift) [[/insert]] from Shawnee Ohio, per the acct of A. S. Males & Co. to day -

In the East Top Split 'E.' Gangway at Vulcan we struck a roll about 7'8 feet thick - in bottom 18" Coal between roll and top bench - Have not been taking down the top bench, but now we will do so.  This gangw has about 250' yet to go to our own make line between V & B Mtn, so Mr Jones wants them to go through the fault -

Elmer examined the main frame work of Buck Mtn Breaker today, and the same needs tending to -  some of the posts, braces etc have been crushed, or moved etc., and we intend to remedy it soon -
