			In 1902, coal production boomed, and added up to 350,000,000 short tons of mined coal. Working conditions were poor, with many accidents occurring. John Mitchell lead the Anthracite Coal Mine Strike of 1902, which, resulted in President Roosevelt intervening and increasing workers wages by 10%. This brought the working conditions of coal miners to the attention of the public.

Near the [[Inside Inn]], in the [[Mining Gulch]], was a dark ride attraction simulating a coal mine.

==Before the Fair==
Some early (pre-Fair) maps show this concession was to be located on [[The Pike]].

==Description==
The exhibition was a nod the the great Anthracite Coal Mine Strike of 1902. In a ride in mine cars through underground passages, passengers saw the lives of 145,00 men and whose strike led by John Mitchell, resulted in an intervene by President Roosevelt and an 10% increase in wages.

The tunnel was 1,260 feet long.

The exhibit included: 4 relief maps that occupied 100 sq. feet, a model of a mine, a working model of a breaker (which could separate the coal from shale), a wash recovery station, and tunnel was 1,260 feet long.

Contained within the tunnel were 8 different mining scenes along the ride.

The first showed miner's going to work (three separate shifts), the next slate-pickers, sorting the coal/slate (tasked by boys), the third, showing miner's eating and recreation time, the next showed the horrors of a mine being flooded. Another scene showed the dangers of explosives and tending to the wounded. Donkey's living underground was shown, their task to pull mine carts. The last scene depicted the miner's going home.

In 1902, coal production boomed, and added up to 350,000,000 short tons of mined coal.
