MINE RESCUE GAR IS SCHEDULED TO SHOW
 IN BISBEE FEB. 2
No. 2 of United States Bureau of Mines with Crew of Men will Give Daily Exhibitions and Training.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Mine res cue car No. 2, of the United States Bureau of Mines. in charge of Fore man Miner K. H. Chisholm, and a crew of trained men, will reach Bis bee, Arizona, on February 22 on its itinerary through Arizona. The car will be on exhibition every day from 800 a. m. to 500 D. m. during it's stay of about seven days, and free lectures will be given to miners on safe methods of mining, the use of safety lamps and rescue apparatus, and mine gases.
 This mine rescue car is one ot eight now in use by the Bureau of Mines for training miners in first aid and rescue methods and the use of experimenting apparatus. Each car has a crew that includes two ex- | perienced miners, a mining engineer in charge, and mine surgeon, and is equipped with the latest rescue and first aid apparatus and supplies. At moments notice the car is ready to proceed to the scene of a mine dis aster, where the bureau men place themselves under the direction of the state mining inspectors and mine off, cials to do everything possible to as sist or save miners who may have been injured or entombed
 The saving of human life and less ening the suffering of injured miners are the central features of the bureaus work
 Miners are shown how to use res cue apparatus, and how to take care of an injured comrade. The lectures are illustrated by lantern slides and moving pictures which show good and bad methods of mining, and how many accidents are easily prevented. These lectures are given in the car when a suitable meeting place cannot be procured elsewhere, but lantern slides and moving pictures cannot be shown in the car.
 Each car carries oxygen-breathing apparatus, a supply of oxygen in cylinders, safety lamps, a field tele- phone with 1000 feet of wire. col lapsable steel mine cage, an appara- tus for reviving miners who have been gased, and the charts, splints, and bandages for demonstrating first-aid methods. Some of the training with rescue apparatus will be inside the mines, also in smoke or fumes. so that wearers will understand the value of the apparatus and how to use it. A miner wearing the apparatus can enter a mine immediately after an eX- plosion. and work in smoke and work in smoke and black damp for two hours.
 Many thousand miners have been trained in the use of this rescue ap paratus at the Bureau of Mines cars and stations. It is hoped that in the near future every miner in this coun- try will have a working knowledge of the apparatus, and that every mine will have an equipment ready for use in case of emergency. Many miners, have been saved after explosions by rescue parties wearing the apparatus; also, the apparatus has proven or great value in fighting mine fires.
 Free instruction and training in methods of first aid to the injured are also given by crews of the rescue cars and Nstations and this instruction is given either in connection with rescue apparatus traiing or entirely separate ly, hence is applicable not only to un- derground workers, but to all those employed in or around the mines and metalurgical establishments.
