The IMPORTANT PART
THAT TIMBER PLAYS
Importance Of Preserving Same for Use in Minin6
Enterprises Not Generally Known.

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Jan. 10
Few persons not directly inter

portant industry" said a Government
expert in preservation Of mine timber
who had just returned to Washington
from the West. The average man
has only a vague understanding OF
the Importance OF the part that tim
Der plays I'm the mining industry. and
seldom thinks Of the enormous guam
titles required each year 20 prevent
the caving OF the oyer-hanging ground
and to keep clear the main working
passages OF mines.
There are two general classes OF
such timbers,' he continued. the first
is used in bracing the Slopes. as
they ere called, where the ore is be-
ing taken out. AS the ore is mined

ore directly above the first set is re-
moved a second set is built in on top.
and so on. The service of these tim
bers ends when the ore is exhausted
and the active mining transferred TO
another vein or Ore-body.
After a time these timbers decay
TO a point where the pressure OF the
rock walls brushes them, anI a cave
r. occurs. This causes no damage If.
as / have said. the mining work has
been finished but IL sometimes hap
pens that decay has weakened the
timbers TO such an extent that the
'cave-in occurs prematurely, and then
lives are sacrificed. In such cases the
remaining ore is also a loss. for when
the ground has once commenced 20
move or work as the miners call II.
Il is almost impossible TO clean Il out
and hold back the rock so that the
remaining ore may be obtained.
But Of still greater importance Is
TIE second class Of timbers used I'm
the main working openings. tunnels,
shafts. etc. which are TO be maintain
ed for as long a time as possible.
Timbers for this service are chosen
not only for their strength and firm
ness, but also for their ability TO
resist decay.
- In nine cases out Of ten. when tim
bers are crushed. the indirect cause
Is decay, produced by low forms of
plant life. The dwindling Of our tim

thought to be an aeroplane COM
ing slowly from the northeast.
Crowds of people craned their
necks to get view of the mys-
terious object, which looked like
a two-plane air ship, but as it ap-
preached nearer and finally pass
ed over Pacific avenue, it was as
eertained that the affair was a

ehed to it, The kite slowly
drifted westward and disappeared.
Its origin or destination is a mys-
terry, but it was a masterpiece Ia
