MODERN METHOD OF
FIGHTING FIRES
IN MINES

The modern method of fighting fires
in mines is here given
Sealing the works.-The supply OF
oxygen is thus shut off and the fire
extinguished. The mine should not be
opened for two or three months or the
fire is liable to break out again.
Dumping water down shaft.-Huge
quantities of water are dumped sud
denly down the shaft. the length OF
the fall converting the water into
spray and forcing it into most of the
workings. Especially effective where
fire is in or near shaft.
Bore holes.-Workings on fire are
reached by holes bored from above
and then flushed with culm and wa
ter.
Flooding the mine-This Is used
only as a last resort Is very expen-
sive as the water must be pumped out
again and much Of mine equipment
is ruined

mine may be heavily damaged through
either kind. The Calumet and Hecla
