About our FIRE Alarm system.

great many people have considerable
difficulty IN placing fire when an alarm
is sounded, and even If they can tell the
number OF the box they cannot locate
the fire, because the boxes are very mum.
erous and, unless one is provided with a
memorandum OF the boxes and their loca.
tion, they will remain in ignorance and
their own home may be destroyed before
they are aware of it.
This may be easily remedied il the map
OF the location and the boxes is studied a
short time and the general idea OF how
the boxes are arranged is learned.
when the Black well system was first
put in, the whole location was divided
into fire belts, so to speak, running par.
aliel to the line OF shaft houses OF the Cal
umet and Hecla mine. In each OF these
strips set OF boxes was placed, having
the decimal denomination in that district
only. For instance, the first district in.
Guides everything east OF Calumet ave
nue., including Laurium and all the boxes
in this district numbered with the first
figure, L. The next district runs from
Calumet avenue, past Mine street, and in-
ciudes the whole length OF Mine street and
the box numbers begins with 2. When
an alarm is given from a box whose num-
Der begins with it is generally some build
ing about the mine. The next district
includes the strip taking in the water
works, Blue Jacket, Newtown and Swede-
town, and the boxes are numbered in the
3Os. The fourth district includes Red
jacket only, and it's boxes are in the 4O's.
Inc last district includes Yellow
Jacket, Tamarack and Red Jacket shaft.
ana the numbers run in the SOS.
Besides this scheme, the second numbers
OF the boxes run from l up, from north
10 south, as No. 81 is the box at the ex.
IRENE north end OF Mine street, and No.
20 IL the box at the extreme south end OF
the street. This same rule holds good in
each strip.
About the Calumet and Hecla location
twenty-five bells are located in residences
OF hremen and engineers so as to notify
them when an alarm is turned in. In
He'd Jacket this was talked of a good
deal last fall and il was then understood
that the auxiliary bell system would be
