Published in December 1910, 'Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX' by Herbert M. Wilson examines federal investigations into mine accidents, structural materials, and fuels, particularly in the wake of the catastrophic Cherry mine disaster of 1909. The volume discusses safety measures in coal mining, detailing the efforts by engineers and the United States Geological Survey to improve mining practices and reduce fatalities. This work is notable for its technical insights and its role in shaping safety legislation and practices in the mining industry.
