This series was published by: Office of the Inspector of Mines (18 -1914); Dept. of Mines(1914-1934); Dept. of Mines and Minerals (1934-). Included, at various times, are discussions of the coke industry; miscellaneous tables on transportation, banks, employees, types of mines, animals
employed, and powder consumption; mine maps; descriptions of strikes, disasters, and fatalities; comments on mine-related issues such as coal geology, various minerals, laws, ventilation and other safety issues, and mining methods. Also present are plates, maps, and diagrams. In the late 1800s, reports of the Geological Survey are included. In the 1920s, information begins to appear in tabular form, and several reports include photographs of department personnel and coal mines. In the 1940s, discussions of mine-related issues are dropped, as the reports focus on casualty figures, mine directories, and production figures. At this time, lists of miners who passed examinations for inspector and foreman are included, as are the names of agency personnel and their photographs. In the 1950s, the reports begin to include clay mining directories, oil and gas production figures, and lists of drilling permits. In the 1960s, reports from explosives and blasting, miner training, and safety sections are included.
