EXPLOSION
of Pof FIRE DAMP of BC ILVDEN.
Since the explosion
the morning
b of the Sth inst.,
, on hfitre damp in Lord Bradford's
coal mine, at Burnden
the most untiring effmts have
the fire, in order to rescue the beoedi? made to extinguish
tunate men who could not be reach" of
the two nutbr-
the sulphur in the mine. About 25 tedetinf from the surfaconsequence
of
of the down-cast shaft there was erected
a ce
kfeurnace, in
which to generate carbonic acid gas,oroho
extinguish the fire in the mine, ors Mr. Gurney'sd nP'to
prin-
ciple. This furnace was supplied with coke, charcoal
unburnt limestone, and slack, materials which, in a atat 4;
of combustion, produce carbonic acid gas abundantly.
From the furnace a communication was made, by means
of 12in. cast iron pips, to a wooden box or cistern con-
taining water. From the top of the cistern the com-
munication was continued to a wooden pipe projecting
into the shaft, and made tight at the stopping, so that
the gas, as generated, was forced into the mine. Inside
the wooden pipe there was a steam jet, supplied from the
boilers, the effect of which was to cause the furnace to
draw_ downwards; and thus force the gas into the pit.
B low the steam jit a pipe was inserted for the supply
of water,andgp
water
suspension, and was spread very finely among the steam, producing
a spray so light as to be hell in
with the carbonic acid gas through the different workings
of the mine. This
spray would also have the effect of
cooling that part of the
shaft mine which was on fire. At the
otettra jet
at
ow . 9 an. iron pipe was fixed, with a
D Wm to increase the draught. Thus
