Ontario Mines Now Fighting the Menace of Dust Disease (From the Annual Number of The Northern Min?r) The intensive effc:ts being made by Ontario mines to reduce the incidence of silicosis have recently been reviewed by the Technical Silicosis Research: Committee of the COntario Mining Asâ€" sociation. It will be recalled that specâ€" tacular yei thoroughly proven results had been secured in the past two years in experimentation with animals, by the use of aluminium dust, a test proâ€" cess devised and carried out by J. J. Denny. Dr. Robson and Dr. Irwin. Th tests proved that the subjection d rabbits and guinea pics to dusting with metallic aluminum in combination with quartz dust had no harmful effect on the lungs of the animals and that subâ€" jects which had been allowed to become infected with silicosis had the progress of the disease stopped by later treatâ€" ment with metallic aluminum. Experâ€" imentation is continuing and has reached the point of practical appliâ€" cation at one property at least. Preventive Measures i Preventive measures against silicosis is a primary concern of the mining operators and to this end a number of effective measures have been taken. Dust sampling has been initiated at a number cf the larzer mines, in mine, mill and crusher plants, as a measure designed to controel dust. It is claimed that no othdr way exists to zguage adeâ€" quately the efficiency of ventilation and control. Campaign Intensified fo Preventive Measu.res: Dust Control Increased. More attention is being directed to the redvction of air dustiness at operâ€" ating drills. This is true of both manâ€" ufacturer and operator although, the report states, for reasons in part obâ€" seure more extensive practical applicaâ€" tion by both parties of the known facts concerning this matter has lagged in some respects. For instance, although innumerable tests have shown collaring of holes to be dustiest stage in drilling, field obâ€" servations indicate that some machine men Grill the first inch or two dry. The dust count ‘at these times is very high, sufficient in many cases to Oobliâ€" terate almost completely the benefits of other dustâ€"reducinz measures which may be applied later in the drilling. A number of mines are training their drillers to:collar wet. Drill Improvements Drill manufacturers are working on a device to ensure the full flow of water through . a drill at all open posiâ€" tions of the air throttle. It is believed that this device offors the only real solution to the problem of dry collarâ€" ing. It is â€"noted in the report that air throttles having a iblcwing position in the valve are in use on drifters at many mines. Whieâ€"this facility is necessary in sinking it is not in other work and its removal is recommended. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 19398 The adoption of the soâ€"called "dustâ€" less dGdrifter" has expanded and numâ€" bers of these drills have been placed in service at both large and small mines where they have not been tried previcusly. Variable reports concerning the performance of some of these maâ€" chines with respect to cost of upkeep and drilling speed have been received. For this reason the committee has soucht information of this nature from mines where similar equipment has been operated cn a large scale for the past few years. Investigation disclosed that cost of upkeep ranged from 11 to 17 per cent higher but that drilling efficiency was practically the same. It is pointed out in the report that the matter of speed in most importations is not as important as it used to be. Reâ€" garding dust counts with the dustless drifter, the tests clearly showed the superiority of this type of machine. Considerabie experimentation â€" has been don> at varicus mines with blastâ€" ing practice. The adoption cf what is been don>» at various mines with blastâ€" ing practice. The adcption cf what is known as the "‘Shatter cut" to the whole round to be shot at once is becoming more general. This type of shooting eliminates the return of the miners to the face followinz the blastâ€" ing of "cut" holes. Water blasting has also been more generally adopted. There has been a definitse betterment in the ventilation of the mines of the province, the report indicates. Many new air fans have been installed at various properties and in some cases equipment has been added to heat downcast air in the winter months. More attention is being paid to the routing of air currents than formerly. Therse are now eight mimes in the province that are 4,000 or more feet deep; two have workings in excess of 6,000 feet below surface. Others will enter this group ere long. Thus the mines are rapidly being confronted with the problems inc:dental to deep mining. not the least of which is that of air conditions as affected by heat, humidity and Cust, Most of the proâ€" pertiecs in this group are making exâ€" tensive preparations to ensure adequattb ventilation of these lower horizons.

Since Abitibi Power Paper is a leader in the newsprint group, a solution of Abitibt‘s problems would dacubtless work to the advantage A Geliberate attempt was made at Rouyn and Noranda last week to sabotaze the Red Cross campai:n. This was done chiefly by lies and gross misâ€" rcpreseéntation. circulated ‘by word of mouth. Cne of the lies was that $5 would be deducted from the pay of each man smployed at the Noranda Mines, and that pressure was being brcught to bear to coerce people into swozâ€"zeribing for the Red Cross. Prompt denial of the lies helped to offset the campaign of falsehocd. It was explained that the men at the Noranda would be canâ€" vassed only in the ordinary way, there would ‘s2 no Gdeductions from the payâ€" roll and there was absolutely no presâ€" sure being plazsed on anyone to subâ€" scribs, except the pressure that would come frcm their cwn hearts to help a ‘patriotic and humanitarian cause.

The picture, ‘"Nurse Edith Cavell" tells in unforgettable way the story of the noble work and beautiful life of Nurse Edith Cavell and her tragic and unforgiveable death at the hands of the Germans. The play is strikingly faithful to the historic facts of the case, it is said, and war and other scenss are shown with noteworthy fidelity. The whole picture is based on the inâ€" spiring career of Edith Cavell, espeâ€" cially in to her work in helping war fugitives to escape from the war zone, and her sensational trial for these activities, together with the trag‘c death of this heroine, made immortal .

The car had bsen parked all summer ear Mr. Kaplan‘s home and had not been in use. Last week Mr. Kaplan had the car towed to a garage for storage. The fact that the car was towed and. not g@riven may have avoided a serious accidsont, as the explosive was not heatâ€" ed nor set off by the engine. It appears as if the explosive was placed in the position it was found in the expectaâ€" tion that it would be set off the minute the car was moved. However, no suth cccurrence took place, though those who know explosives will agree that from the minute it was placed in the car there was danger.
