tain its quality at depth. it might be
advisable to sink a shaft to a depth OF
800 to 1000 feet and then to extend
drifts from the bottom Of the shaft.
While the first cost OF sinking the
shaft would be high. it would be pos
sible to recover SOME good slate during
the process and thus reduce the min
ing cost in some measure at least.
After the shaft and drifts were COM
pleted, past experience indicates that
subsequent mining costs would be low
as compared with other types of
quarrying or mining.
The Monsoon Maine Slate Co. operates
workings adjoining the old Pond
quarry. an abandoned pit of great
size. This pit is approximately 500 feet
long. 100 feet wide and $50 to 400 feet
deep. A series OF slate beds alternate
with beds Of quartzite The present
workings extend underground from the
southwest end Of the old quarry One
drift is now nearly ZOO feet long. This
company also employs an overhead
stopping method, and has spent large
sums Of money in developing the pro-
cess in order to attain the highest
efficiency. In addition, it uses a sys-
TEN of working downward from the
drift floor. The bed Of slate utilized is
about feet thick and dips at an angle
of about 10 degrees from the vertical
Sinking the drift floor has the same
limitations as the open-pit method. for
wall supports will be necessary before
great depth can be attained. : Fore
seeing this contingency the company
has opened new pit about three miles
northwest which includes the s-foot
bed and several parallel beds. 1t is
planned to operate it for some time at
least as an open pit.
The. Portland Monson Slate Co. has
recently sunk two new shafts from
which drifts have been extended. The
method of mining is similar to that al
ready described for the Monson Maine
Slate Co. operation at the Pond quarry.
The drifts are wide enough to include
the l0-foot bed and feet of waste
rock on either side. One wall cut is
made with channeling machine. A
horizontal seam constitutes a remark
ably smooth and safe roof.
II is to be noted, therefore. that the
slate deposits of Monson are unique
and demand special methods of opera
ton. II is to be hoped that q comprefen-
sive scheme for future development
will be successfully worked out. for the
