Monoxide Gas in Auto
Mishaps Being Studied

A plan to solve a problem that
has long troubled investigators Of
automobile accidents-how large a
proportion Of crashes involving the
driver Is due to carbon monoxide-
was revealed recently by Coroner A.
L. Brodie and his new toxicologist,
DR.. Raymond D. McNally. both Of
California.
Carbon monoxide is fatal In suffi-
cient quantities as It is produced
in the exhaust gases Of automobiles,
Coroner Brodie explained, but no
one knows how many accidents In
which the driver is reported to have
fallen asleep at the wheel are due
to faulty exhaust pipes that cause
nnilder degrees of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
No scientific study has ever been
made Of the problem. as far as DR..
Mentally could recall. An expert In
such types Of poisoning, he said he
welcomed the study as one Of the
hoJOA SdSAS VI us pOSG
To carry out the plan Coroner Bro
die issued an order that samples Of
blood from all drivers killed in acct
dents that are not adequately ex-
planned be forwarded by coroner's
physicians to DR.. Mentally for analy-
sis as to carbon monoxide content
He also plans, he said, to make an
effort to get a new spectroscopic de-
vice, recently reported from Ger
many. according to DR.. Mentally,
that win tell how long previous to
the examination the victim was ex-
posed to the deadly gas.
Such a study, said DR.. Mentally,
would provide a sound basis for an
educational campaign among auto
lists as to the danger Of carbon mon
oxide leaking from broken exhaust
into closed car.

Super-Tunnel Bored to
Drain Valuable Mines

Since gold and silver were dis
covered at Cripple Creek, Colo, in
1891, almost 400 million dollars in
ore has been extracted from the
mines there. However, in recent
years activity has been slowed down
and some mines have been closed
by water seeping into the shafts
necessitating expensive pumping
operations.
To drain the mines and make it
possible to drive them still deeper
at low cost, the Golden Cycle cor
poration, one Of the leading opera
tors in the district two years ago
started digging a tunnel 10 feet
wide and II feet high, through the
solid granite that prevented natural
drainage. After boring beneath the
mountains a distance Of more than
six miles, the two-million-dollar
project was holed through two years
ahead Of schedule as a result
Of specially designed machinery,
round-the-clock operations, and
bonuses to workmen for extra fast
progress.
Called the Carlton tunnel after the
late Carlton brothers who formerly
owned the Golden Cycle, the $1,000
foot bore has already dried up one
mine and the water level is drop
ping in a number Of others. The
water removed is to be sold to farm
ers In Colorado's Arkansas River
valley.
Biologists estimate that there is
from 3 million dollars to IS million
dollars worth Of proved gold in
the lower levels of the field and in
addition several new ore veins were
uncovered during the digging.
