first test was with safety powder, dry
fire clay and bituminous coal dust, the
latter placed on shelves representing
lodges In real mines The powder was
ignited for the blast and did not ex'

explosion during the fourth test, when
IL pounds of black powder and ~
pounds of road dust (actual mine dust)
were used. The recoil was strong and
the flames covered the full length of
the artificial mine. The test proved
