Syllabus

<p>Mines and mining — Coal lease — Suspension of royalties — Burning of breaker.</p> <p>Where coal mined under a lease is prepared for market by breakers situated on adjoining properties, and one of such breakers is destroyed by fire, but the mining of the coal is not interrupted inasmuch as it is prepared in the remaining breakers, the lessee is not entitled to take advantage of a provision in the lease that royalties shall not be demanded during the time that the production or shipping of coal is actually prevented by the destruction of a breaker.</p>
