Prop Timber.
Scientists Planning for Its Preservation.

The cost of every ton of anthra-
cite is increased eight Sents by the
expense of the mine timbers. To
supply these timbers requires each
year the product of approximately
$50, 900 acres of forest. Timber is
used for cross-ties for tram-roads in
the main haulage ways, as wooden
rollers, and as props. A "set" Of
gangway timber consists of two
legs, commonly nine or ten feet
long and averaging about thirteen
inches in diameter, and a collar,
six to seven feet long. These sets
are placed on an average at inter-
walls of five feet; one gangway fire.
quently contains 1000 sets; and
ten gangways to colliery is not an
unusual number.
The average life of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-five
per cent. of the timbers are destroy
ed by decay, while breakage, wear,
and insects destroy the remainder.
By peeling the timbers and proper
ly seasoning them, and especially
by giving them treatment in oils
or chemical salts, their length of
service is materially increased.
In an industry where the cost of
timber is so large an item it is inn
portant to know what method Of
preservative treatment will give the
greatest service at the least eX-
pense. To determine this, expert
ments were conducted in the sea-
soning and treating OF mine tim
bers, principally pine, oak aud
chestnut. The last two woods
were investigated largely to deter
mine their suitability for planting
III the anthracite region as a source
of supply of mine timbers. The
results show that peeled timber is
superior in durability to unpeeled
timber, and if it is peeled and sea-
soned for from two TO four months
in the woods there is an additional
saving in freight and in yard room
at the mines. Peeling costs from
ten to twenty-five cents per set.
With creosote at nine cents a gal
Ion, mine props can be treated with
brush at cost of one and one
half cents cubic foot, or forty
cents per set. If a timber checks,
however, an opening is made
through the portion protected by
creosote, and decay sets in. By the
use of closed cylinders very thor
ough treatment is secured, but at
All average cost OF between So and
81 per set of mine timbers. A
method of treatment less expensive
than by the closed cylinders, and
yet which secures penetration OF
creosote adequate to meet most con-
ditions, is by the open tank.
