DAGUS, PENNSYLVANIA

Image Courtesy of Harriet Moyer Dagus Mines was a coal mine and company town operated by the Northwestern Mining & Exchange Company. Their Dagus No. 1 mine was in a 36" thick section of the Lower Kittanning seam, sometimes known locally as the Dagus seam. This vintage picture is of the tipple and power house.
