WARNING IS ISSUED ON COAL EXPLOSIONS; Bureau of Mines Head Describes Them As Coming Hazard in U.S. Mining New York, Feb. 18—()—Coal which explodes like soda pop is a coming hazard in American mining. ‘Warning about this strange type of mine burst was issued Wednesday by George S. Rice, chief mining eng:- neer of the U. S. Bureau of Mines in a talk to the American Institute of | Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. | The explosions are “cold” — no spark starts them—but they are ex- tremely dangerous. They are caused by an “instantaneous outburst of gas that has been stored under high; pressure in rocks, but particularly in} soft coal. ‘ The explosive gas frequently is ex- actly the same stuff which “charges” soft drinks, namely carbon dioxide. The surrounding earth forms the container, which, like a bottle, makes | a big blow-up possible when miners’ | picks puncture a deposit of gas-im- pregnated coal.
