SCHOOLS HERE
Thirty-Five Men Present Last
Night---Big Gain Shown
in Attendance

Attendance records at the Fair
mont mining extension school took
decided boost last evening at the
Fairmont High school annex when
thIrty-fve members were present,
or a gain OF 1--WE over the previous
week. All Tut three men who have
been retained on tho roll were in
attendance at last nights session.
This was one Of the best atten-
dance records hung up for some
time. Considering the strike and
the inclement weather the showing
was especially creditable. During
the past few weeks tie class had
made a special effort to Jack up
the absentees and In this 1t was
successful. Only three weeks Of
school remain.
Three and four piece timbering
sets as applied to coal mining was
discussed. incidentally the steel
eye beam was mentioned. This Is
the most modern type Of timber
ing. Its strength as we'll as the
than wood give 1t preference. It
TACT that It is easier to handle
also enjoys a longer life than wood
tlmberlng for permanent use and
in the end proves to be more econ
omical. It's main disadvantage,
the initial cost, however is over
Swallowed by the many good ad-
vantages. In the use of steel
beams, 1t is necessary to observe
proper wedging or else the weight
is not equally distributed and the
steel is apt to twist. Use of wire
rope in mine tim6ering appears
to be very rare these days. and
practically none Of the class has
seen 1t applied in this region.
Roof falls were touched on in
passing. Too frequently motormcn,
day men, or others not experienced
in timbering, are sent to clean up
roof falls and they are not equip
ped with a long bar. The result is
that oftentimes unnecessary acct
dents occur in the mine. Stress
was laid on the proper erection Of
timbers and the necessity of pro-
per blocking over the timbers.
Blocks placed above the collars
should be 50 placed that the
weight is as near equally distrt-
buted as possible upon the legs.
Putting posts on the tagging was
advised against. Now and then

careless mine employees throw dirt
and rock from q slate fall over the
tagging In time the tagging rots
and the dirt falls to the ground,
which means that the dirt must
be handled a second time.
Important features to be obser-
we'd in mine timbering were group
ed as follows: proper spacing of
dmbers; systematic method OF
timbering; recessing timbers in
the ribs and proper use OF explo-
siyes. 1t is advisable to protect
the legs by planking in cross en-,
tries, while In main entries they
should be so placed so as not to be
an obstruction in transportation
Of coal in the mine.
frequently holes are drilled too
high for shots in the mine and
often times the roof is shattered.
In a 90 cubic inch hole filled with
black powder 5.38 cubic feet Of
gas is generated which exerts a
pressure Of 81 tons to the square
inch. The tremendous pressure,
which, however, is based on a
laboratory test, would naturally
shatter a roof If improperly plac-
ed. Holes should be placed to the
best advantage, and shooting In
the solid should be avoided. Cas-
SEES produced by excessive charges
are apt to precipitate a dust explo.
sion il there is sufficient dust
suspended in the mine air. In
many mines hmbering extends to
the working face and excessive
charges are apt to blow out the
timbers.
Post pullers are found 10 be In
valuable in the mine. The SylYes-
ter post puller is being used quite
extensively in the Fairmont region
it was stated. Post pullers not
only remove posts before retreat
ing from a room, but they arc
used also to pull iron rails, replace
locomotives on the track and
other practical purposes in the
mine. It was contended that the
uses Of the post puller in the mine
are so general that their economic
features soon cover the purchase
price.
The class last night turned in
its last series OF home work. There
is only one more lesson in mine
timbering. On Friday night, May
5, there will be a general review
on mine gases, safety lamps, ven.
tilation and timbering. This il
being done so as 10 give the men
who will try the state mining ex-
aminations an opportunity a gen.
eral review on the subjects. Every
year the state examinations are
becoming more stringent and the
class work has become invaluable.
The final gathering of the class
will be held on Friday night, May
10, when the mining extension
schools of Northern West Virginia
will hold a banquet in this city.
