Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twelfth Biennial Report of the State Coal Mine Inspector, 1905-1906 It is gratifying to report that during the two years just passed many improvements were made along lines tending to en hance the safe and sanitary conditions in the mines, and several companies have adopted measures towards the safeguarding of their employes that are beyond the requirements of the law, such as establishing shot-lighters, or the firing of shots by electricity, when the men have withdrawn from the mines. The practice of using the air courses paralleling the slopes, and other mechanical haulage roads for traveling ways, is be coming popular, and is in vogue at several mines. The use of man ways for employes to pass in and out Of the workings does away with the danger of accidents of men coming in contact with moving motors and rope trips. Also the sprinkling of non-gaseous mines is receiving general attention. These improvements are not compulsory, though they should be.
