moisture must In some way be re-
stored.
l read recently that in an average
size mine, producing 1000 tons of coal
per day and properly ventilated, 10000
gallons of water per day were taken
from the mine In the air current dur
ing the winter months, all of this be-
ing picked up from the bottom or
ribs of the mine.
This seems large on first thought, but,
while have not checked the figures,
have reason to believe that they are
correct.
Now to avoid explosions of dry dust
we must in some manner get rid of
this dust or wet 1t sufficiently to rem
der 1t harmless. OF course we can
remove some OF. the dust, but 1t
is absolutely impossible to remove it
all, especially that which is lodged in a
thin coating on the timber and along
the ribs and COB.
Sprinkling with hose has for sew
eral years been resorted to but this is
not regarded as very efficient for the
reason that the nature of the dust
seems to be such that If there is any
quantity present, where it is sprinkled
with a hose, it seems only to dampen
dust. And no matter how large a
quantity of water is thrown on the
dust is simply runs off leaving thin
coating on top which is dampened and
in sprinkling it is absolutely impos-
sible to get into the crevices in the
COB. A very much more effective
method is by the use of sprays of
which there are several kinds; one
is home made affair, made of piece
of 1-inch or u inch pipe with very
small holes drilled in one side; this
is not particularly efficient as the
holes soon cut out so large that the
water is thrown out in a stream. An
other, which gives very fair results, is
the ordinary copper or brass spray
nozzle such as is used on the ordinary
garden hose; but there are now several
other efficient sprays being manufac-
tured. Our company is trying two
of these, one known as the Lechler
spray which is manufactured in Ger
many, and the other is spray manu-
featured for mine or mill purposes by
the American Moistening company of
Boston, Mass. After trying all of these
We have decided that the American
Moistening company's spray Is most
