PECULIAR ACTION OF GAS.


Gases Now Hanging In Old
Slopes of the G. s.. IL.
Commenting on the fact that after
the fire in the Calumet & Hecla'mine
had been extinguished at least two
weeks and perhaps longer and the
shafts had been open with a strong
air current circulating through them
for that length OF time, there should
still be gas in some levels OF the
mine, well known mining man, &C
cording to the Houghton Gazette,
says that there is nothing like the
gas which forms after fire in the
copper mines, and that it has pc
culiarities which are found nowhere
else.
II have talked with miners in some
of the deepest shafts and they told
me something about gas which is
new to me. When they set off
blast from ordinary mine powder
and then the men go to work to
clean up the loose dirt caused by
the explosion number of cases have
been reported where the men have
been overcome with the gas and had
to be given immediate attention,
and taken to surface. 1t seems that
there is gas forming when the ex-
plosion happens, which settles in
the loose dirt, and the men in dig
ging it up with picks and shovels,
stir up the deadly poison and inhale
it. If they did not stir up the
ground there is little doubt that it
would remain settled in the dirt and
might never be noticed by the men.
These incidents have happened sew
eral times and in some of the shafts
it has been found necessary to con-
nest hose and use water on the
ground Immediately after the ex-
plosion so as to prevent trouble.
81 think the gas which has ac-
cumulated in the levels of the Calu-
met & Hecla mine is about the same
thing"
When the mine inspector and the
party of Calumet & Hecla officials
went down in that mine after the
shafts were opened they visited all
the lower levels, particularly about
No. shaft, Calumet, and thence
over to No. 2, Hecla branch. They
found no evidences of gas or foul air,
and the lower levels or slopes were
particularly clear of it. Now it
seems that in the levels nearer the
surface there is still some Of the
foul air, and the two fans which
have been working at No. l, Calu-
met, have sbeen pulling. most of this
out. The gas is of such peculiar
composition that it takes terribly
strong current of air to make it
move or break it up. Its makeup
is such that it acts much the same
as water but does not assimilate in
the least. For this reason, the un-
usually strong current produced by
the fans is worked to advantage,
forming a suction which draws the
gas out of the mine.
