Usually no sprays are located in the
air current after 1t leaves the working
places. The split system of ventilation
is in operation and each room heading
is given as a rule its own separate cur
rent of air. Each heading is supplied
with a water line of ~ inches In
diameter with connections at intervals
as seem necessary for the sprays and at
points between the sprays, hose con-
nectioins are provided so that hose
may be used in sprinSling or for fighting
a fire. These room headings Will have
an ultimate length of approximately
$500 feet. and it is thought the IL inch
pipelines with the pressure derived from
the reservoir of about 1876 pounds, will be
sufficient to supply as many sprays and
hose connections as will be required.
1.-THE pipe lines are located in the room
headings and not in the air courses, for
the reason that the air is taken into
the headings and out the air courses.
with the sprays located in the headings
the tracks and walls are kept moist, and
there Is no danger of passing trips stir
ring up dust. AS a general proposition,
II is found that the cross-entries do
not get dusty until they have been driven
in quite distance and the coal has had
time to drain or dry out. AS soon az
necessary the sprays are installed In the
various headings The sprays are kept
in operation in cold weather continuous
Nv day and night. and do not require
much attention. At the present time.
however, it should be stated that with
our July weather the saIhe necessity Tor
spraying does not exist, and, as a conse-
quence, only 10 sprays out or a total OF
A. are operating When the cold weather
comes and the air Is drinking up all the
moisture In sight, the other idle sprays
will be turned on and even more VIII
probably be installed
at Is due to the well known fact of
air In cold weather containing less mois-
ture than in summer that we find more
explosions occur in winter than In warm
err weather. 1t should be the purpose
of any molstening system to supply the
air entering a mine after 1t conforms to
the same temperature as the mine, With
all the water 1t will take up. We have
noticed how in the winter mine drys
up, beginning at the inlet and extend
ing Just as fast into the workings as
the air is able to absorb the moisture.
When the outside air Is warmer thah
the air in the mine, there is no necessity
for attempting to add moisture to the
air current. When cold air enters a
mine it becomes warmer. this increasing
its capacity to contain moisture, and,
following the laws of nature, 1t acts ac-
cordingly, and takes up moisture Wher-
ever 1t finds 1t.

up moisture from pools Of water as well
as from any dampness which may be on
the walls or in COB of places traversed
by the air, and with this fact in view It
has been thought at Banner that 1t would

they are not Travelled, with frequent,
small and temporary dams, the water
from one dam overlooking into the next
one below. With this arrangement it
would be possible in many places to
convert the floor of the air way into
more or less continues sheet of water. 1t
might also be arranged, as the rooms
drive up from one heading into the air
course of the heading above, to let these
rooms tap some Of the air course
ter and allow it to flow through the
rooms and dampen any dust lying on
the floors. OF course, this would not be
as good as keeping the floor dampened
while the rooms are driving up, but,
no doubt, there would be some advantage
In keeping any part of the mine floor
moist rather than otherwise
'fn some mines In foreign countries the
moistening of the air has caused serious
sickness with the miners, but in such
mines the temperature is much higher
than In Alabama, and for this reason
trouble of this kind is certain to be
much less here, II not absent entirely.
The doctor at Banner mines states he
has found no trouble from this cause,
although at first some little complaint
vas made on account of the dampness

place more rapidly in quick moving

1.-THE amount of water an air current
will take out of a mine in cold weather
Is surprising and startling. At Banner
the ventilating current amounts to 2O0,-
600 cubic feet per minute, and for the
purpose of calculation the inlet and out
let will be considered of equal volume
From the tables 1t is found that this

ut has been our experience that II

Besides electrical shooting from the

great measure, eliminates any possl-

COKE ON NECESSITY OF
DISCIPLINE IN MINES

e. II. Coke, general superintendent of
coal mines for the Tennessee COMPANY.
who organized the First Aid corps in this
district, addressed the meeting on the
| safety of coal Mines He said the most
vital points was inspection properly and
then discipline in coal mines. These two
points he emphasized, and his address
dealt at length on the proper regulations.
His remarks are given:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: About
one year ago, at a similar meeting I read
paper on the prevention of accidents in
coal mines and the title of this paper
would seem to cover about the same
grounds but I will not repeat anything
that | said last year except as may he
| necessary to emphasize certain points
mentioned last year.
1.-THE two principal points which wish
to emphasize are discipline and proper in
| spection. both of which seem to me to be
all important for the safety of our en-
ployes underground engaged In the haz-
| ardous occupation of mining.
These two subjects go hand in hand
for the reason that inspection of any kind
will be of little use If unaccompanied by
discipline. and discipline cannot be prop
| erly enforced without continued and thor
ough inspection.
IAN inspection to be proper must be
thorough ana with eyes open and with
thorough realization of what the. inspec.
| ton Is for, and must be made by a COM
| petent man properly interested in the
safety of the employees.
at Is too often the case that inspections
are made in a perfunctory manner by an
| inspector who seems to think that his
| duty is done and his object accomplished
when he walks around and covers a cer-
| tain amount of territory in day. Such
an inspection as this is of no beneflt at all.
The inspector should be continually on
| the lookout for ways to protect and safe

done which ought not to be done, he

port of such things TO his foreman, be
vested with sufficient authority to correct
| such evils.

pumps, etc, with sufficient frequency to

the aid of assistants or inspectors, but he
