EXCELLENT SH/IPE
\\\ Nicholson, mine Inspector for
the Eleventh district returned last
night from Dry Fork where he in
spected the mines i| that vicinity.
Mr. Nicholson says that this is the
first time in two years that lie he*
returned from Dry Fork without en
tering prosecutions for violation of the
' mining law*?. Ho found everything at
|the Uerwind-White and at the mines
around Youkon r.ni English in first
class shape.
I The atmospheric condition at this
'time, however. Mr. Nicholson thinks
I is favorable to mine explosions and
it would not m*;>ri.\» him to hear oT
of some at. any time. The Atmosphere
is saturated with aqueous vapor, re
ducing the pressure on account of
the fact that damp air is lighter than
dry air. which tends on account of the
diminished pressure to release the ex
plosive gases which may be impris
oned in tho coal seams and cause ex
plosions.
