                                  AN ACT

     Requiring owners, lessees, or operators of bituminous coal or
        clay mines to furnish the owners or lessees of adjoining coal
        or clay lands with maps of the mines and workings along the
        division line of such coal or clay lands, and permitting the
        owners or lessees of such adjoining coal or clay lands to
        enter such mines and make surveys, and to verify the accuracy
        of such maps.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That after the passage of
     this act, upon written request so to do, the owners or owner,
     lessee or lessees, or operator, of each bituminous coal or clay
     mines in this Commonwealth, shall provide, furnish, give, or
     lend to the owner or owners, or lessee or lessees, of adjoining
     coal or clay lands a true map and plat of such mines, made from
     actual survey, showing all rooms, headings, and workings
     convenient to and along the division line of such adjoining coal
     or clay lands; and on the neglect, failure, or refusal to comply
     with such written request, or for the purpose of verifying the
     accuracy of such map or plat furnished in compliance with such
     written request, the owner or owners, or lessee or lessees, of
     such adjoining coal or clay lands, shall have the right to enter
     such mines, with or by such agents, surveyors, and assistants as
     shall be required for this purpose, and ascertain and verify by
     surveys and measurements the true condition plan, plat, and
     workings of such mines, convenient to and along the division
     line of such adjoining coal or clay lands. At least five days
     notice shall be given to the operator or superintendent of such
     mines, before entering the same for the purpose aforesaid. The
     time selected for such entry and survey shall be such as shall
     least interfere with the active operations of such mines.
