Show mm STANDARD mm mk SALT LAKK. May 22 The management man-agement of the Tlntlc Standard Mining Min-ing company resumed shaft sinking Friday evening, this work being the first possible effort In the prelutm thirty-six hours The miners were driven from their drills by the steady flow of carbon dioxide ras. something ' that has occurred on previous c cca- Nlons. but It has never taken the com-j com-j p.my so l-.ng a time to rid the shaft of this noxious gas n order to gunrao-tee gunrao-tee the safety of the men employed. While this gua Is troublesome, thr offt.-lals a Inclined to view Jt philosophically, phil-osophically, for the reason that slmllsr experience In mining properties of the Mate hae been recorded prb.r to the rlscoery of large ore liodle. and the present condition of the Tlnlic Standard work leads E. .1. Radda'z, the general manager, to the l.ellef ttat nhen the source of this gas Is reached tbeer will be big resources for, sMp-menf. sMp-menf. The shaft is being sent from the T'lO fcof level, and It Is breaking through a badly fissured zone which brings the gas fmni below. Carbon dioxide might be called tbe most genial of all dangerous mine gases, for In spite of Its dangerous character and ell effects upon life It gives ample warning of Its presence. It refutes to hang around and not make its presence known, until a disastrous explosion occurs. It existence exis-tence ta soon porcehed and the inlat-r scramble out until It Is forced to the surface and puro air has taken lt plac. Mr. Raddatz believes the ga Is generated by the action of wet sulphide sul-phide ores upon the surrounding cr-bonate cr-bonate or lime formation |
