AFTERNOON SESSION.
At 2.30 Chairman English called the

Important to Miners.

An invention of considerable import
ance to miners has just been patented by
William X. Lord, of Mt. Carmel, and
William Bullock, Of Centralia, both of
whom are miners of long experience.
1t consists of an annunciator, which is
designed to be placed in mines, to warn
employees OF the presence of dangerous
gases, and thereby prevent explosions
and consequent loss of life.
The invention consists in fan-wheel
located in the air way of q mine which,
by means of intermediate wheels and
the pinion on the shaft, rotates disk
bearing number of pins which actuate
litter arm and completes an electric
circuit at intervals. On the shaft is also
a spring governor, which, when the air
is passing at normal speed, keeps the
circuit open, but as soon as the requisite
amount of air ceases to pass through the
airway and the speed of the indicator
slackens, the circuit closes and the tele-
phone or alarm bells in the Office or en-
gine room ring continuously, notifying
the officials at once that the air is cut off,
and, if not soon attended to, the deadly
mine gases will soon be gathering in the
mine.
The annunciator is so arranged that
while the required number of feet Of air
is passing the alarm outside will give
regular taps, but as soon as checked the
bells ring continuously, until the obstacle
is removed, or bells are cut out of circuit.
The cost required to erect the machine
is said to be only trifing.
Only single line of common wire is
needed for each instrument. The cleo
tricity can be furnished for an ordinary
mine with eight cells of any good battery,
but magnetic generator, driven by a
small cord from the line shaft of the fan
engine, is preferred. The annunciator
is to be moved onward as the work of
mining progresses, so as to always be in
side of the abandoned portions Of the
mine.
