"A mining engineer wants mining
companies to be compelled by law to
put down bore holes, from the surface
of the ground, at greater or less inter-
walls over the entire course of mines.
The holes would not be very expensive
to put down, and could be sunk with
any prospecting well or oil rig. They
should be large enough to contain a
tube two or three inches in diameter,
with good valves at each end. This
plan, he thinks, would do away with
part of the risk that miners undergo
from being imprisoned by a cave-in.-
