Show ELIMINATE GAS AT EUREKA LILY MINE New Connection Made to Remove Condition Con-dition "Which Has Obstructed Maximum of Work. Special to The Tribune. ' EUREKA, Jan. B. During the past week a connection was made at the Eureka Eu-reka Lily mine that should greatly eliminate elimi-nate the. gas and bad air which has been a handicap to the work there and which should be of great benefit to the company. The point at which the present development develop-ment work is being done is on the 1-JOO level, and the connection which Superintendent Superin-tendent Brig Snyder believes will enable him lo keep the mine clear of gas, joins the old a nd new workings of the Lily. Superintendent Snyder says that a larsre fan is located on the 5u0 level and that it will be operated in such a manner that the foul air will be sucked from the 1400 level to the 600 and then blown clear through to the surface by way of the old shaft, which has recently been deepened to the T.00 level. Mr. Snyder believes that the only solution of the gas problem is to get this foul air completely out of the mine- In the past the mine has been forcing forc-ing the izas out of the lower levels and it is being con tin call y forced back into the deepest working by changing weal her condi lions. Last month t he Eureka Lily people lost fi fteen days on account of bad air," which made it absolutely impossible impos-sible for the men to work. Practically the same condition existed in the Tin-tic Tin-tic Standard property, adjoining, before the Standard's new haft was sunk, but it is said that cas has been a more serious se-rious h a.n d i ca i ) to the development of the Eureka Lilv than it was fo the Standard. On the 1-U'O level nf tho Eureka Lily-two Lily-two drifts are now following a couple of important leads and a little later a raise will bo started for the purpose of foil'uv-! foil'uv-! ing a bunch of ore which is making ; a hov- the 1 P'O level. The work is boin g i carried on in a bi mineralized area similar sim-ilar to thnt existing in the Tintic Sfand-1 Sfand-1 ard and it i thuueht that no large amount of work will bo needed to bring the mine I into the prod net ive st aqc. |
