The Department of Mines has publicly thanked the Vipond and the manager of the mine R. Dye, for this test and.the way it was carried Department of Mines Indebted to Vipond Mines for Working Test That Showed Warning Could be Given to 95 per cent. of Workingmen. D. SUTHERLAND, Manager. â€" _ 2. A, KEHOE, Manager. PHONE 112 Residence PHONE 135 Huntingdon â€"Gleaner:â€"Stealing a forest was the charge against the whole village of Zude,; near Belgrade, Jugoslavia. The sixtyâ€"eight men in the village appeared and their defence was that otherwise they would have frozen, since great ecoonomic distress prevailed in the village. The whole | village was found guilty and the men \ were sentenced to brief terms of imâ€" ‘tprisonment and fines. Their offence 6 is unlikely to be repeated, since there * is not a tree left for miles. Mines, Limited The introduction of the stench, ethyl mercaptan, into the air lines, as A signal to underground workmen to vaâ€" cate the mine, was tried under workâ€" ing conditions at the Vipond mine, Timmins, and the results obtained deâ€" monstrate the effectiveness ‘of this warning signal. The apparatus used for the introducâ€" tion of the stench is illustrated by the accompanying sketch. It will be noted that the apparatus is made from stanâ€" dard pipe fittings. The modification of the alve for breaking the stench bomb can be accomplished at small cost and with few tools. Owing to the low boilâ€" ing point of the ethyl mercaptan, it is essential that the pipe nipples used be of sufficient length to dissipate the heat from the air lines. The length shown in the sketch proved adequate with the apparatus installed forty feet from the compressors and in the mine side of the receivers, which point is essential. There are four of these inâ€" jectors installed on two air mains and housed in a small box midway between the hoistâ€"house and the shiftâ€"house. out. In the annual report of the minâ€" ing accidents in Ontario in 1929, as issued by the Department of Mines for Ontario, Bulletin 71, the following reâ€" port of the test is made:â€" Stench Test at Vipond Consolidated About two weeks before the test was made, a notice was posted to the efâ€" fect that a trial of the warning signal would be made and asking the men to become familiar with the smell. They were also asked to record the time of detection of the stench and then proâ€" ceed to the shaft. A small quantity of ethyl mercaptan was placed in the shaft house where, by turning a valve, it could be let into the atmosphere. At the time of the test there were approximately sixty men underground engaged at their normal work. The mine has about nine miles of underâ€" ground workings and ventilation is by natural air currents, except for the compressed air, which amounts to 1,800 cubic feet of free air per minute. Four bombs were used, each containâ€" ing 12 c.c. of ethyl mercaptan. They were broken at intervals of twenty seâ€" conds, one in each of the four injectors as illustrated. Four minutes after the first bomb was broken a flash for the cage was received from the 866â€"foot level. orFtyâ€"seven minutes after the introuction of the stench all the men were out of the mine Two crews of scalers failed to get the warning, but these men were far removed from operâ€" ating drills. One of these men was warned by other workmen and one failed to receive any kind of warning. The quantity of ethyl mercaptan inâ€" jected into the air lines was roughly twenty c.c. for every 1,000 cubic feet of free air compressed per minute. It would perhaps be wise to use more, something like 30 c.c. would be a better quantity. It is essential that the introâ€" duction of the stench be spread over at least one minute of time. This insures Two hours after the stench was inâ€" troduced the next shift went to work and the atmosphere underground was quite clear. The experience demonstrated that the stench was effective and entirely harmless. a good distribution of stench in the air passing through the line. The four inexpensive injectors as used in this test insure the placing of the required quantity in the line over given period. The following are some notes of inâ€" terest on the experiment:â€" Time of breaking ist bomb. .147 p.m. Time of breaking 2nd bomb 1.47.20 p.m. Time of breaking 3rd bomb 1.47.40 p.m. Time of breaking 4th bomb 1.48 p.m. Record or men coming to surface:â€"â€" Working place, 866 level; time surâ€" face reached, 1.53 p.m.; remarks, men at pump station; no drill working. 200 f‘t. level; time surface reached, 1.56 pm.; men drilling in 200â€"H stope; strong odor. 1000 ft. level; 2.01 pm.; muckers at station; no drills. 753 ft. level;2.03 pm.; scalers in 709 stope; no drills. 500 ft. level; 2.07 pm.; drift; got stench at 1.57 pm.; stayed to blast. 866 ft. level; 2.05 p.m.; machine men in 802 raise. 600 ft. level; 2.09 pm.,; subâ€"level; machine men and scalers. 400 ft. level; 213 pm.; men from 514 stope and 402â€"B drift. 400 ft. level; 2.14 pm.; 426 stope; machine running; strong odor. 753 ft. level; 2.30 pm.; Y07â€"B stope: machine running, but odor not strong Vipond side muckers warned Vipond side scalers, who reached the surface at 2.34 pm. Scalers in 604 stope failed to get a warning of any kind. At the old Vipond shaft collar the warning came through a leak in the air line at 1.55 p.m. The natural air currents brought the warning to this upcast shaft at 2.03 p.m. The Department of Mines is indebtâ€" ed to the Vipond mine, and especially manager Robert E. Dye, for making this test under working conditions. It has proved that an adequate warning can be given underground directly to 95 per cent. of the workmen. It also gives a fair estimate of the quantity of ethyl mercaptan necessary under metal mine conditions, as based on compressed air only.

Rescue Teams Trained to Use Equippment and Handle Emergencies. In the Ontario Bulletin No. 71, "Reâ€" port on the Mining Accidents in Onâ€" tario in 1929," there is the following reference to the new Mine Rescue Staâ€" tion at Timmins:â€" Pending legislation authorizing the erection of three central mine rescue stations in the Porcupine, Kirkland Lake and Sudbury district, an arrangeâ€" ment was effected by which a mine reâ€" secue station, in advance of such auâ€" If you have never tried Kruschenâ€"try it now at our expense.

The arrangement provides that the station be financed through the Workâ€" men‘s Compensation Board of Ontario out of assessments levied on the minés while the equipment of the station, the selection of the personnel in charge of it, and all matters pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the staâ€" tion are under the control of the Chief Inspector of Mines. This, in the main, follows the lines laid down in the proppsed legislation covering the entire three stations which are to be established in the province. The Timmins Station is housed in a tile building, 15 feet by 40 feet, erected as a leanâ€"to to the municipal fire hall, and provides two rooms for storage o equipment and training purposes. The main room (15 feet by 28 feet) is used as storage and lecture room and, in addition, contains the heating plant. While the second room (15 feet by 12 feet) is used as a "smoke room" in which training may be given in irreâ€" spirable atmosphere and is separated from the storage room by a gasâ€"tight partition containing a long observation window through which the supervisor may observe at all times the action of the crew undergoing training in the smoke room.

It is proposed to commence training of mine crews in mine rescue, first aid and mine recovery operations as soon as a standard course of training can be decided on ‘and drawn up. At the time of writing arrangements have been effected through the courâ€" tesy of the United States Bureau of Mines for a team composed of the inâ€" spzctors of the Department of Mines, the supervisor of the Timmins Station and a representative of the McIntyre Porcupine Mines to take the U.S. Burâ€" eau of Mines training course at the Pittsburgh Station of the Bureau. On the completion of the course a schedule for training Ontario miners will be drawn up and the actual trainâ€" ing of mine teams commenced. Timmins, Ont. RECORDING SOME "HOWLERS" PERPETRATED BY POLICEMEN It has been a common practice to print "howlers" made by students in writing examinations. At various times The Advance has given humorous samâ€" ples of these "howlers." It must be admitted that the unconscious humour in some of these samples is good. But here is a new set, now going the rounds of the press, these "howlers‘" being by policemen and not by pupils of any school or college. â€" Director of Public Safety Schofield, of Philadephia, Pennâ€" sylvania, recently gave a mental test of some twenty questions to 150 policeâ€" men in his department. No matter how good the police may be at catching others in the wrong, some of them were certainly "caught" by the questions submitted to them by Director of Public Safety Schofield. "I won‘t make all the questions pubâ€" lic," said the director, who is also a teacher in the law school of Temple University. "I‘m not going to poke fun at the police department." In jotting down their answers some of the policemen were of the opinion thatâ€" Diabetes is a vegetable.

"Why do we celebrate the fourth of July?" was one of the questions, and one policeman, seemingly fed up on festivities, answered: "For no reason Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"A Sarnia moâ€" torist, in securing his license for the current year, discovered that the letâ€" ters on his markers would be B.C. Immediately he requested a change and that, as a favour he be given a license having some other letters.
