successful ventilation of that chamber
All bituminous coal contains from 81
to 40 per cent volatile matter, which
rises from the seam.
Without successful ventilation ii
1 stands to reason that the noxious
gases must soon predominate. In an
/ thracite coal there is only from to 6
per cent volatile matter in evidence.
and ono never hears of a dust explo-
sion in an anthracite mine. Dust. too.
plays great part in the ventilation
Of a mine, Dust absorbs the moisture.
and consequently the even balance. of
the atmosphere IS not maintained.
To successfully operate q mine. all
these things must be taken irto con-
s,de-ation, and the dust should be
thoroughly wetted down from time to
time. If this is not done there is sure
to be an explosion sooner or Later, and
after the explosion Of dust, the oxygen
being all consumed in the drift. it is
naturally imooaible for any living
thing to exist under the circumstances
"A coal dust explosion is similar in
its effects 10 that which occurs from
time to time in large -four mills, which
arc badly ventilated, and if it were
possible to have flour duat explosion
under similar conditions to that in
coal mine the effects, of course, would
be TIE same.
The men who persisted in this OK
plOsiOn at Winter Quarters died from
the effects of after-damp. which IS an
other name for the absence of oxygen
in the air"
Captain Tibbey's Career.
Captain Tibbey for seventeen years
held the position of superintendent of
the Parrot mine near Butte. during
which period there were only three men
killed. In explanation Of this fact he
last night stated that when he took
the position in the mine he inaugu-
rated the rule that any man who got
hurt would be discharged This. he
said. had the effect of making the. men
careful, with the result that there were
only three casualties, and that in the |
of cases it was the action of
some careless fool that caused these |
disasters.
In Speaking Of the precautions which /
he invariably took before entering a
mine, he said that he always carried
a close meshed ladies' veil, and minia-
ture pair of bellows IN his pocket. On
several occasions he had saved his life
through these means. He asserted that
If the nozzle Of a pair of bellows had
been inserted in the nostrils of those
who were found in the mine who gave
evidence Of retaining a spark of life
N their anatomy, that their lives
might probably have been saved. He
had seen this remedy tried on several
occasions with a successful issue.
He related the circumstances in the
explosion in the Cleveland mine at Lu-
,as, Ia, when he successfully brought
men out from the mine,
lfter lying on their faces with a wet
-eil tied across their nostrils for the
pace of five hours
The two largest catastrophes which
lave happened in coal mining in Great
he said, were at the oaks col
lery. Dec. u. 1866, on which occasion
80 lives were lost, and on Feb. 10.

50 souls persisted. Both these mines !
