CONE) Since the issuing of the Tribune containing my last article on miling, ‘1 have received inquiries as how to obtain the va sives, etc. [ would advise: Hirst send to the Superintendent of Doc 58: Mining.” ‘This will give. price and numbers of the different bulletins, | etc. ‘The price list is tréee.e A sim 1 ‘price is charged for tie bulletins, pa- pers, ete. which it catalogues, ‘This! price is’ probably placed’on the book- | lets more in order ‘to deter ‘the idly, ‘curious from’ ordering and: thus’ ex- | hausting the supply—which was in-| tended for persons practically inter- ested—than as a matter of revenue. The coal mining Code of North Da- kota» (Section 48) pertaining to venti- latiow of mines, calls-for not less than 100 cubic ‘feet of tresh'air per minute for each person cmployed in a‘ mine *and six hundred cubic’ feet for each an-| ‘malin the mine. This me em an exhorbitant demand, especially when one considers the fact that the average church and theatre goer, in. fact Mr. -Private Citizen in his Own home as well as inthe public places is usually ‘afforded much less fresh air than this. First: 1t is very doubtiul if anemo- meter tests (and the necessary accom- panying estimates) would ow that any of our mines have ventilating ‘plants which will, or do furnish this amoust. i s Second: This volume or ¢urrent of air Is not necessary so much for the upkeep of the lite si ng clement —the oxygen of the air as it is to car off the harmful gases generated. -ticularly dynamite gas. This gas'causes a peculiar headache and heartburn (acidity of the stomach, possibly due to the nitric acid fumes emanating from the nilro-glycerine dynamites). These harmful gases from | the blasts a very strong in the y at the ‘face of the nutes after the shots. (The “face” of the coal—also called the’ breast—is the end of the entry, or of the room from which the miner is removing coal.) These.gases are set free more abundantly when tie explo- sive is not completely and suddenly detonated (exploded) as when a weak blasting cap has been used, or a partly frozen charge has been fired. Miners are’ paid by the ton; quite often by the car, supposed to hold a ton. So the more coal one gets ou ‘the greater his pay check. centive induces nearly all miners to} return to work too soon after firing 2 shot—as well’ as to labor overtime. The.continual ation of these gases puts the lungs in such condition that pulmonary diseases, both acute and chronic, -are common among miners. (But here, again, the data shows that the coal miner and I would say es- 1 pecially the lignite miner, has the ad-; vantage. Death from lung di being greater among the ‘ore, miners “Rock dust” is the® potent’ factor in this. The ore miner breathes the hard, sharp particles of rock dust which vcut his lungs causing an added and constant irritation, from this inflam- ation consumption, etc., are apt to de = Among ore miners | : »—Oul in ——of men who can “eat rock dist” but, y y waiting | these men, like the ones who “can/to take his into action breathe gas without. evil effect” die young, ‘* Apart*from harmful gases and nox ‘ious stenches a mere dirth of oxygen’ and of ozone in the air (dué to an in-} sufficient air supply; too many men ‘and animals breathing it, consuming sd much of the oxy keep up the normal vitality) will be ‘briefly considered.

Commonly, it i& said, a victim of in- sufficient oxygen feels some warniur ‘symptoms, but doesn’t realize the im- mediate danger—loosing ess as one might go to slecp. Air contains about 21 per cent oxy- én; an oil fed lamp will burn in a 17 per cent ‘a: An acetylene ga: ‘lamp—such as miners: use, called car- bide lamps, will burn ina 13 per cent air. Ina 12/per cent air a person feels some distress. In a 9 the lips look bluish and/the face assumes a leaden ‘color. In a 5 or G per cent oxygen air a marked panting takes place, follow- ed by a clouding of the senses and loss of power to move followed by death if not relieved. And in air deprived of oxygen loss of ‘consciousness comes quicker than by drowning in water. Taking the foregoing facts into con- sideration I ‘believe one of the first requisites for harmony ‘and cordi between ‘operators and miners is for the management to endeavor to supply ‘air in a quantity complying, as nearly as‘ practicable, with the statutory re- quirements and in quality such as the olfactory nerves would approve. And “for the miners and other employees to ‘maintain so far as’ possible, the purity of this:air. -( practices which should be classed as misdemeanors-furnishable.) This would bea long step towar delimina- tion of disease: toward efficiency and satisfaction: the inauguration of in- | ereased output: higher wages, aug- ‘mented profits and a more full mutual- ism,in the coal enterprise and indus- try. ‘i * $ MONTANA SO!
