The last charred and mutilated bod; has been taken out of the Ravensdale mine. The dead men have been laid to rest with fitting ceremonies. The inquest has been held. The mine has been investigated. Presently operation of the mine will be resumed—and next wéek, next month or next year, there may be a repetiton of last week’s tragedy. It is high time that the coal mines were investigated as they ought to be in- vestigated. For example, why was not the Ravensdale mine equipped with a humidity sys- the explosion could not have occurred. The Ravensdale mine is known to be a dangerous mine. gaseous mine, it is also a “dry and dusty” mine. Coal dust taken from mines in the state of Washington was recently sent to the U. S. experimental station near Pittsburg, and it was found to be, pound for pound, MORE DANGEROUS THAN NITROGLYCERIN. Toss a handful of it into the air, and you can light it with a match, and it will explode like a pinch of loose gunpowder. Confine it, and its destructive power is devastating. It is not only a a ae So dry and dusty is the Ravensdale mine that the men wore handkerchiefs over their mouths and noses. Some of the men, inured to coal dust, could not endure a four-hour shift. A naked light can ignite coal dust, or a “windy shot.” When the dust in a | mine like that at Ravensdale ignites, every particle of the millions floating in the air explod>—and all the gas explodes, too. And the Ravensdale mine is a gaseous mine. The mine has been “sprinkled.” That is not enough. It did not lay the dust. The mine is owned by the Northwest Improvement Co., which also owns mines at Roslyn and Cle Elum. The humidity system is in use at Roslyn and else- where in the state. Why not at Ravensdale? It could be installed at a cost of about $2,000.
