KIND WORDS FOR HEAD
OF NEW MINING BUREAU

DIR. Joseph A. Holmes, appointed
head of the new Bureau of Mines over
the objections of Secretary Ballinger,
is real conservationist. That may be
why Ballinger opposed him. At any
rate that is why he landed the job.
"While other men have been promot
ing conservation by the conversation
al process,' says student of his
work in the October number of Hamp-
tons Magazine, cdr. Holmes, as chief
of the teehnologic branch of the geo.
logical survey, has been devising meth
ods for doing such practical things as
extracting the largest tonnage of coal
from a given area of coal measures, and
then producing from that coal the
largest possible amount of heat and
power. He has been teaching scien'
tiic mining, to save coal and to save
human life. He has devised admin
istrative machinery for accomplishing
these purposes through governmental
supervision, and has induced congress
to create a Bureau of Mines.
"Dr. Holmes studied mining meth.
ods in France, Belgium, Germany, Eng
| land-wherever there was thorough
understanding of proper mining and of
protecting the miner He found that
we were killing three times as many
men ont of each thousand working un
derground as were European countries
"Dr. Holmes set himself to find the
flaws in American methods. When
such disasters occurred as those al
Mononga, at the Darr mine, at Palos
in Alabama, and at the Cherry mine
in Illinois, he hurried to the spot, don
ned an oxygen helmet which he had
borrowed from Germany, and went
below. Where noxious gases had
snuffed out the lives of the miners, he
penetrated His organized rescures
with the safety equipment of the
European miners, saved many lives
Holmes hung doggedly to the trail Of
the cause of disaster. He set othel
strong and daring young men on tn
same trail. and soon was announcing
scientife discoveries about the causes
of disasters, such as even the experts
of Europe had sought in vain.
"The discovery of the explosivenes
of coal dust is typical. The minins
world had always attributed mine es
plosions to gasses. DR.. Holmes note
that these explosions usually oecurre'
in cold weather. 1t was found tha
mines were dryer in the cold season
because the cold air which was pump
ed into the mine became heated al
} sorbed the moisture and on leaving tn
, pit carried it out. Analysis of the al
entering and leaving certain min
showed that this current was takin
out sixty tons of moistue a day i
= such conditions mine became as dr.
+ as bone and filed with dust.
