Son Philip, by George Manville Fenn.
_______________________________________________________________________
Philip is the son of an old mine-owner. His father and mother would have liked him to become something other than an overseer in their mine, but it is what Philip wants to be.
Some of the men are engaging in dangerous practices, and deeply resent it when Philip pulls them up over them. One of them swears that he will put his mark on Philip.
Under Philip's guidance the mine begins to run well, but still some of the men are resentful of not being allowed to smoke even though there is gas in the mine.
At this point there are a couple of those George Manville Fenn situations, which find you wondering "how ever will Philip get out of this?"
And so the book ends, with Philip running a really successful mine, with a good accident record. How does he do it?
