Deep Mining.

The New Chum Railway mine, at
Bendigo, Australia, has attained a
depth of $500 feet, said to be the deep
est in Australia. At this depth 1t re-
quires three men to work q rock drill
which was operated by two men in
the upper levels of the mine. To en-
able the men to work at the present
depth, q stream of water is conveyed
from a bulk-head at the 3,200-foot lev.
ell by pipes down the shaft and along
the cross-cut to within 20 feet of the
face. At the end of the piping a
spray is fixed, and the water plays on
the men as they work at the face,
their bodies being thus %cooleu, the
dust kept down, and a current of air
created from the shaft.
