Detects SOUND
UNDERGROUND

one of the interesting instruments
used in connection with the work OF
Mine Rescue Car No. l, now sta
toned here for another week, Is
the geophone, which is employed for
detecting sound underground. The
accuracy of the device has been
tested to the extent of proving CON
ductivity and locating sounds to
within five degrees of the actual
spot OF course the chief use would
be in locating signals from entombed
miners, but 1t may also be used IN
checking surveys. Tests have de-
monstrated that sound has been de-
tected through 1000 feet of solid
rock while through clay or coal the
radius is 500 feet With a new dta-
phragm Just received, it is believed
that the scope OF the instrument VIII
be extended so per cent.
The car was originally routed over
the Las Vegas G Tonopah railroad
to the mining districts of Clark and
Lincoln counties and 1t was not
known until reaching Nevada that
the railroad had been torn up and
shipped to China. On this account
the itinerary has been changed Sc
the car will leave Tonopah for
short stay in Goldfield and then pro
eeed over the Tonopah & Tidewate
to Death valley, where class will
be instructed at the borax mine
The next stop will be at Goodspring
whence the car will go to Phoebe
