Bureau of Mines Men
Aid Rescue Work at
BriceVille Disaster

More than a score Of men sent by the
bureau OF Mines, in Washington, are
az the scene of the mine disaster at
briceville. Tenn. working to rescue the
living entombed miners or to get out
the many dead bodies.
An hour after the explosion the first
mine rescuers Of the Bureau of Mines
arrived at the scene. A mine rescue
branch is permanently established AT
Knoxville, Tenn, In charge of E. b
Sutton. Mr.. Sutton went immediately
to Briceville, taking with him a dozen
trained volunteers. ~
Later in the morning a mine rescue
and demonstration car arrived from
Warren, Ky. and in the evening a
second car arrived from the Pittsburgh
station, manned by j. W. Paul, ohief
engineer OF the bureau and Messrs.
Ryan. Raudenbush. and Roberts, all
operators for the bureau. This car
also brought number of volunteer
Ihelmet-trained men.

disaster from Laurens, 8. c., where he
went few days ago from Washington

on the scene the first day.
At the Bureau of Mines offices here
Il Is believed the accounts of the dis.
aster, ascribing the explosion to Goa
dust, are correct.
This is the time Of year when Goa
dust explosions are likely to occur, Il
is stated at the bureau. During the
summer the warm air which the Venti
iating fans send down into a mine 1.
able to carry a great amount Of moist
ure. But in the fall and spring, with
sudden changes of temperature, wher
cold air will not carry the moisture
fifty tons have been recorded lost IL
. single day. In the fall, the cold dr.!
air sent in permits the coal dust t.
grow dryer and, consequently, more
likely to explode.
While the Bureau of Mines is work
ing in the rescue at Briceville, it.
primary purpose is not rescue work
Prevention Of disaster through educa
tion of miners is the task the bureau
has undertaken. and the rescue car'
really are lecture cars equipped will
apparatus and paraphernalia for dem
onstrating safety devices to the miners
and for illustration Of lectures.
"Coal dust in its pure, dry state,
says an official bulletin of the bureau
mas such power Nto spread an explo
sion that It is more dangerous thai

The same bulletin describes how loatl
miners and mine operators have beel

unless fire damp Is present, and hoV
the Pittsburgh experiment station ha
proved the contrary beyond question.

JduudIy 70 dJII.
MR.. JOHN H. DONNELLY.
Daytona, Fla

Robson Glutrin, which | have not
only thoroughly investigated, but
which have had tested on the
county roads west of this city, and
which l have used to my entire salts
faction on the private driveways of
my country place just west Of Rich
mOnd.
/ am thoroughly familiar with all
the objections to which you refer as
applying to the use of oils and other
similar preparations on dirt roads,
but none of those objections app y
to the use of Glutrin, which seems
to be free from any objection at all,
as it does not injure the hoofs of
horses, nor soil or damage Yehic.es
or clothing, and is free from I'M
pleasant odor. It is not only the
best dust layer have found but, to
my mind, its chief value is in it's
qualities as q binder. If the road
is in proper condition when applica-
ton is made and the application of
the Glutrin is properly made, it will
practically keep the road in repair,
and each recurring rain seems to re-
new the effect of the Glutrin, thus
rendering it, in my opinion, decidedly
the most economical, as well as the
best, material for dust-laying and
road-binding which has yet been dis
covered.
The roads to which / have herein
before referred to were treated with
glutrin last July, and are practically
in as good condition today as when
treated, and especially is this true
with reference to the private drive
ways on my country place where ex-
ira care was used in the. application
of the preparation. On the other
hand, imm ediately adjoining the glut-
rin-treated county roads are roads
which were treated at about the
same time with oil preparations, or
so-called oil asphaltum preparations,
which have all gone to pieces, and,
besides. the results of the treatment
of the roads in the neighborhood Of
and on my country place with glut-
rim have been so satisfactory that
the county of Henrico and the COun-
try club of Virginia have each since
placed very large order for Robe
son glutrin for road purposes.
/ am quite satisfied that you will
find that glutrin will do Just exactly
what the Robson Process company
claim for it., and l do not think that
you will make any mistake, in hav-
| ing it applied to your beautiful roads
at Daytona.
Yours very truly,
SAMUEL REGISTER.

FIRE BUGS AT BAssFIELD.

Bassfield, Miss, Sept. 11.-This
community is very much aroused by
what was undoubtedly an attempt by
fire bugs Saturday night to burn the
warehouse of Mclean & King, and
which attempt was only frustrated by
the timely alarm given by some young
men who were out until late hour.
Their attention was attracted by the
reflection Of the fire which had evi'
IDENTIFY just been started and was max
ing its way up the side Of the ware
house. The fire was soon extin
guished, but would have doubtless de
stroyed several buildings had II gotter
under good Roadway. There were nj
bloodhounds to be procured and th'
would-be incendiary made his escape
