the Lincoln mine at Virginia in
1911 there was fire in which one
hundred feet of timber shaft was
consumed. In 1913 there was a
fire at the Bangor mine at Aurora
and the shaft at the Malta mine at
Gilbert was injured and practically
destroyed about three years ago.
The Bureau of Mines has taken
upon itself careful investigation
of the cause of these fires. Of the
thirty-one fires which were men
toned fourteen were due directly
or indirectly to the use of candles
and nineteen started in or within a
few feet of the shaft. In the
thirty one fires mentioned thirty
two lives were lost. The causes of
fires in general are as follows:
Careless use of lights under
ground or at shaft collar.
Defective electric wiring.
Spontaneous combustion from
friction in shaft rollers or under
ground machinery.
Spontaneous ignition of com
bustible rock.
Dropping lighted paper in ore
chute.
Building small fires underground
for any purpose.
Dumping ashes in open pits con-
nected with underground workings.
Careless use of matches.
Incendiarism.
Smoking in timbered places near
shaft collar or underground.
Sparks from surface engines of
any kind or from surface fires.
Since the causes have been found
it is fairly easy to trace the method
by which fires may be prevented.
The following is a summary of
preventative measures.
Do not use candles for lighting
underground.
AS far as possible, do away with
timber construction in head frame,
shaft collar, shaft, shaft station
and pump station.
Keep shaft rollers and other
machinery we'll oiled.
Break continuity of timbering
from pump house to shaft.
Dry timbered shafts should be
kept moist.
Do not allow combustible rub
bish to collect underground.
Beginning at the shaft collar do
not allow smoking in any timbered

No business man in any town
should allow newspaper published
in his town to be printed without
his name and business mentioned
somewhere in its columns. This
applies in all kinds of business,
general stores, dry goods, grocers,
furniture dealers, professional men
and in fact all classes of business
men. This does not mean that
you should have whole or half or
even quarter of a page ad in every
issue of the paper, but your name
and business should be mentioned
if you do not use more than a two
line space. A stranger picking up
a newspaper should be able to tell
just what business is represented in
a town by looking at the business
lineup in the paper. = Madelia

Underground Fires

Few underground mines are free
from any danger of fire. Do what
ever an operator can to prevent
fires by freproof construction or by
fire preventing activity, no mine
can be absolutely safe. The United
States Bureau of Mines has given
considerable attention to this sub
ject and several bulletins have been
issued concerning it. The Mesaba
range has been fortunate in regard
to destructive fires. Here under
ground mines are not as deep as
those found on the older ranges.
There have been few serious fires
on this range and few fatalities.
At the Adams mine at Eveleth and
at the Elba mine at Gilbert in the
early days there were several small
fires with few or no fatalities. At

THE more you see of it the more
apparent it becomes. Whiskey is
poor Chauffeur. The Ishpeming
Iron Ore says that man who is
intoxicated should be pulled from
the seat of an automobile no matter
if he is driving slowly. There is
no telling what he will do the next
second. There's state law cover
ing such cases and it is one that
should be strictly enforced. There
are enough sober people, who are
incompetent to handle cars, driving
them, without drunken ones to
make the danger greater.

WEATHER prognosticators have
been having somewhat of a hard
time of it. A few weeks ago it was
the war in Europe with the boom

three weeks the bombarding and

anything heretofore had and now il
