THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 19X6 UATERWAY CUT THROUGH COAL PROVESSUCCESS 3 I Substitute forlron Pipe, Which Corrodes, Is Declared Big Saving for Wines. Mining men throughout the hard' coal flel4 have been watching for several yeafs an experiment by H. E. Harris, assistant district superintendent for the Lackawanna company, to do away with thegreat extra cost that is added to min ingby the corrosion by sulphur mine; water of pipes used to carry water that Is pumped from tne mine. Aiier a jrar trial Mr.

Harris' experiment has proved more than a success and has resulted in one' mine alone, the Storrs' in Xorth I Seranton. in saving several thousand dollar annually for the company. The" de vise1 consists of usjng a hole bored through the instead ot an iron pipe. When Mr. Harris announced his idea other mining men looked on it skepti call" and said the water pressure woum make the water Durst tnrougn me cum seams.

But. the natural pipe has worked without a hitch and through it water pours at the jrate ot 1,500 gallons a mlnlite. Its success may lead to an annual saving ot many thousands ot dol lam" that had to foe expended to replace pipes the sulphur water ate through to repair damage Dy qnent Ponding. and i the conse Other Ideas to bis Credit.

Harris is known among mining men; tor the ideas he has advanced am. thai have made mining easier and saved big ttioney for his employers. There sas th 9 case of the Koclcwell dump in noi Seranton, that the Lackawanna company sought to reclaim. To reach it the com pani would have to lay a switch across the Ontario and Western tracks and make other improvements that would cost i istA hon 110 000. it is UUU ucai I hfoTv.

the coal was reached atlill. Borehole Under Samp. the dump was in Mr. Harris" district and' he got busy on methods to save that Initial cost. His idea was to sjnk a borehole) under the dump and into the four fnnL vfin in the Cayuga mine, 140 feet txs lon Uhe (s ji facc, and let the dump through the borehole.

At the bottom he figured tha 1 ivnl or culm could toe loaded into mih'e cars, from the end of the borehole, hauled to the foot of the shaft and through th ibreakci and washery. Other mining doubted if the method was practicable but it was adopted, and has been big success and a money saver as well. The natural pipe through the coal in liio Storrs" colliery takes the place ot 5J6feet of twelve inch cast Iron pipe, thai in the old days had to be replaced year because of the corrosive et fectrof the mine water. At times, too. lhSp.pes burst, flooding the ballast from th i tracks at the bottom of the slope and; necessitating stoppage of work as we)l as expense of repair.

i I How Hole la Drilled. The new water way, or the hole through tlHs'c al, is driven on the same angl or dip as the slope, which is twelve de gree. Tha hole is fifteen inches in diameter, and there are openings "or rld'cks near bottom and top of the slope which" can be opened for cleaning the le. But the waterway need De cieanea only onto in about five or six years ana the cost then will be less than fioo, min ing men say. The making of the waterway required expert engineering plans and tne plans were by Mr.

Harris. Crosscuts were driven at right angles to the slope for a distance of thirty three feet into the the crosscuts being about two by two feet. AO power, was usea, me noies being made by picking out partitions be tween a scries or two men noies inai had been drilled.

To provide against' leakage the crosscuts were, filled with concrete for a distance of teen feet back from ties waterway The pressure on the sides of the waterway is forty three pound to the square inch, the bottom of the slope being 100 feet lower than the top.

William, had to come to pay her a brief visit, when both were taken 111. He was removed to the Newton hospital. While both are seriously ill, their cases are regarded as typical and there are at present no complications Mrs. Davidson is in Boston with her children.
