Yes Kalmia Colliery was a Coal mine in the 19th century

"Smoll Stoof Cole" is : Small Stove Coal

"I Lote not lorge" is most likely : I Load not Large

Unless he was complaining he Loaded Large Nut Coal by Mistake.

Then it's I Load Nut, Large

He apparently Spelled it the way his Accent Sounded. Was probably very Thick PA Dutch accent

Think you are dead on with the accent and translation.
Well, learn something new every day :)
