The Butro Tunnel.

The connection between the north
header OF the Sutro tunnel and the
Ophir drift set in motion 30 much foul
gas that Thursday two gates were put
in the ophir drift and closed. Since
then the air in the header has been bet
ter. and the usual progress has been
made.
As yet. says the Independent, work has
not been resumed in the header OF the
south lateral branch. although 1t is be-
lisved sufficient air will DO procured in
q day or two to allow the miners to re-
sumo work there. A new No. D Baker
blower has been stationed near the
junction Of the north header and main
tunnel, which, in connection with the
old bloae or at the same place. will pro-
vide considerable cool air. As the dis
lance from the header OF the south
branch to the Yellow Jacket shaft is 2OlO
feet. 1t is believed a drift will have to be
run from said branch to the Ward shaft
in order to get sufficient air to allow the
prosecution OF work to the Jacket. The
south header has yet lightweight feet
to run before reaching the north line oil

SIMPLE VENTILATION.
Method Adopted BY h scorp'on
an Get RID OF Feui AIR.

How 10 rid the mines OF hot and foul
air has been a question from the first.
aud has been practically solved by
means OF connections. But in making
these connections there are often places
where, even by the aid Of blowers and
all appliances hitherto used, it is next
to impossible to live without performing
the labor required Of the miner. The
Scorpion has adopted q measure which
might often be used with good results.
As is usual with good inventions, the
method adopted by the Scorpion Is
exceedingly simple. An eight-inch pipe
Is led from the surface to near the face
Of the east drift on the 500 level; total
length Of pipe, about $50 feet. On the
surface the exhaust OF the hosting
engine is thrown into this pipe. This
exhaust as it goes out the surface end
OF this pipe creates o partial vacuum,
which Is nlled by air coming up the pipe.
thus causing the '.fll' to take place at
the lower end. By this means fresh air
is induced to flow down the shaft and
to the face OF tho DRIFT to supply the
place Of that literally sucked out by the
exhaust.
The practical working OF this method
is most satisfactory. Where It was next
to impossible a short time ago to exist,
aud where after q blast the workmen
were unable to get in for hours, now
there is an abundant supply OF fresh
air, and the fumes OF powder are cleared
on. in o few minutes.
When the method was first put in use
one result was caused which was unfa-
vorable: tho water in the supply tank
was not heated by the exhaust and went
into the boilers cold. The experiment
was then tried OF sending the pipe from
the exhaust through this tank AS usual
and the water was heated by 1t to about
the same degree Of warmth Us before the
pipe was laid down tho mine.
The advantages Of the simple method
above described are obvious. II costs
nothing. or next to nothing. to run 1t.
No extra power is required, not even
enough to run q blower. The only loss
occasioned by its working is the little
difference in the amount OF heat trans
ierred by the exhaust to the water in
the supply tank. and that is scarcely
perceptible. as the water is heated about
the same az before its use. The engine
works just as well. aud does not re-
quire q pound more OF steam to do its
work.
The appliance is to be patented. and
application has already been made for
letters.
