THE GREATEST UNDERGROUND
DEPTH.

Considering that the diameter Of
the earth is 5000 miles, We can only
scratch the surface
One of the Lake Superior copper
mines has reached depth Of 1873
feet; the Speremberg shaft near Ber-
lin is 1910 feet deep; tine schlade-
loch mine near Merseburg, Germany
has gone down 552s feet and the Pa
ruschowltz mine in Silesla had to give
up operations after 6OO9 feet had been
reached.
The gigantic ropes can barely car
ry their own weight after they reach
a depth of 5000 feet; and are unable
to carry carriage besides. Moreover
mining entails turning Of diamond
or other drills, and no power has been
discovered to turn a drill at a great
er distance than 5000 feet; and even
then several hours are required to
give the drills turning movement
SO far all delvings into the ground
have had a commercial objective; but
the Austrian government has prom
ised scientists to allow them to ex-
plot, after the war, the silesian mines
for scientifci purposes.
