coal, it should he mentioned, are often
caused by explosions weakening the 'roof
and walls of a shaft.
"If coal mines were equipped with tele
phones throughout tholr workings," aays
Mr. Mitchell, "It would be possible for men
entombed to let those on the outside know
the location uPthe place in which they
were gathered, or at least let them know
what was their condition. And thua the
work of rescue would be greatly aided.
"If mines were equipped In all their gal
lflies with pipes through which compressed
air could be. forced the needed oxygen could
be supplied. And in like manner it would1
Rl:o be"posslble to supply food, at least
food in liquid form, to sustain life for a
few dnys.
"No mines are equipped with such devices
as these, and my suggestion Is not dlrecUd
to the Cherry mine alone.
"A very simple device which would bo
of advantage In all mines, In the event of
flie, explosion or any other accident which
would cut off egress to the main shaft.

the douis could be closed, making them air

This Is done In European mines, and has
been the means of saving large numbers of
men entombed through fir or explosion."
