TEMPERATURE IN DEEP MINES.
Some Interesting Data Covering a
Depth of Nearly q Mile.

From TIE Chic1do Inter
IsHpEMINa, Mich. Aug. 6.-George E.
Newett OF this city. who recently retired
from the Office of Commissioner Of Mineral
Statistics OF Michigan. which he ably filled
for two terms, has. after an exhaustive In
vestisation Of the subject. replied to the ex-
tensively published statement relative to the
hot copper mines Of Michigan. The article
referred to stated that at depth Of $500 feet
In the Calumet and Hecla mines It is 30 hot
that the miners can work only for few mo-
ments at a time without becoming wholly
100 degrees Fahrenheit.
In his very interesting statement ex- Com
missioner Newett says that the greatest depth
Of the Calumet and Hecla Is not within /, 500
feet of that named The deepest shaft In
the world Is the Red Jacket shaft OF this
mine. II is vertical and is 121tx25h inside
Of the tlmbers. Its location Is at the north
ern end OF the mine. directly In front of shaft
No. I. which is inclined and has followed
the belt OF the copper bearing conglomerate
downward from the surface. The Calumet
conglomerate was encountered by the verti-
cal shaft at depth OF S.2S5 feet below the
surface. this corresponding with the fifty
sixth level OF the mine, and has been carried
downward past that point to total depth Of
1900 feet. This will be the bottom Of this
opening for the reason that from its lowest
point the company can secure all the ore
in this end Of It's property.
The investigation showed that In sinking
this shaft the atmosphere grew warmer af-
ter the lode was passed through. There was
no ventilation except that artihcially sup
piled by the air compressor. but this was
satisfactory. At that time as ever since.
1t has been lack Of ventilation that made the
temperature in the lower workings uncom-
Portable at times. The big shaft is now con.
nected with No. at several levels. the con.
nections being made at every third level,
the levels being sixty feet apart
At the bottom Of the shaft the temperature
is So degrees. The increase per 100 feet ia
very small. but In order to determine exactly
what this increase is. a careful test OF the
temperature OF the rock has been under way
for the past year. In order to mako this
test holes have been drilled In the wall rock.
In these slow-registering thermometers have
been placed. and the holes plugged up In q
month from the time OF sealing the holes are
opened and the temperature taken and re-
corded This plan has been followed from
the surface TO the bottom of the shaft, Il be-
ing the purpose Of the company to make a
thorough and trustworthy test, so that Il
may be applied TO the future working of the
property at greater depths than ever yet
attained II Is desired to ascertain correctly

Jack, hoisted at the main, was declared the

having taken the union out OF the ensign,
In spirit OF apparent sentimental
economy, 1t was further ordered that
the remaining stripes Of "old Glory,

to his own request that his Gag be buried

In 1876 "for various reasons, involving
past usages and services, and for the con-

Of officers Of the same grade" the striped
