PUY-DE-DÔME. COAL MINE. Letter A.S. "A. HUBERT" on the letterhead of "Houillères de CELLE et COMBELLE, Commune D'AUZAT-SUR-ALLIER (Puy-de-Dôme), to Mr MEYNIER in Paris. LA COMBELLE 15 May 1849. 1p in-4°. "...Today, we are completely stopped. Our cables have broken twice in two days, two skips are at the bottom of the shaft (of the mine), and we cannot risk to start again the exhaustion, and to bring down men for the repairs, without exposing ourselves to see serious accidents happen. We have therefore stopped everything and sent the workers back. The waters will rise again in the works and besides the loss of money, this unemployment can only produce bad effects and harm the fusion..." he asks him to send him two new cables. "Everything is going well at the COMBELLE. The vein of the station has tightened on the left as it descends towards ALLAGNON (63), the large vein (of coal) seems to want to do the same.
