KANSAS STRIP MINES EXPLAINED BY EXPERT
Prof. C. M. Young Tells Engineers About Open-Pit Mining
Large Steam Shovels Used
Volunteers Cannot Work In Deep Pit Mines—Young
Strip-pit mining was explained by the strip-pit mining specialist, Prof. C. M. Young, Thursday afternoon in his lecture in the engineering school. Less than one percent of the coal miners in the university are volunteers can not work at deep-pit mining, according to Professor Young. Miners may be ever so ignorant in most ways, but they have the very necessary appreciation of the different dangers involved, and some little training is needed, said Prof. Young.
Operation of the big steam shovels requires practice and also some training, in order not to wreck the machinery and to dump in the right place.
The conditions necessary for deep mining are canal that is thick enough and hard enough as well as thin enough and hard enough as well enough. It must, of course be near enough to the surface to take off the earth and shovel the coal out. Many different formations of starta were explained by Prof. Young. The Kansas stratum formation differs from that on the hill because it was illustrated, by the more level ground above. Ohio, in both the east and southeast and in different Illinois fields the starta of coal approaches the surface only now and then on the hill slopes. This makes the Kansas stratum formation appear in many places. This is one reason Kansas is doing more with volunteer miners, according to Professor Young.
Kansas uses as many steam showers as all other states together and she also uses large showers, according to data obtained from several large steam showler companies. The steam showler was first tried in Kansas without out success but the Kansas miners with great relief had a showel made in Missouri and an ordinary form in its turning table for turning and reheating. This was
Old strip-pits which look like river beds were shown and also the way in which the sheolled piles new dirt in the old place after the coal is extracted was shown. This left the ground in big ridges from these slices. This ground is not much good for cultivation for about twenty years, accordingly Professor Young, because of the poor deep soil being thrown to the top.
Strip-pit mining is done at a depth of from five to forty feet. Much of the Kansas work is between thirty and thirty-five feet deep.

A Gateway—Electrical
ONLY a forty-foot gateway bounded by two brick pilasters and ornamental lamps, but unlike any other gateway in the entire world.
For back of it is the General Electric Company's main office building, accommodating 2300 employees. And just next door is its laboratory with the best equipment for testing, standardizing and research at the command of capable engineers. Then down the street—a mile long—are other buildings where everything electrical, from the smallest lamp socket to the huge turbines for electrically propelled battleships, is made
by the 20,000 electrical workers who daily stream through.
What a story this gate would tell, if it could, of the leaders of the electrical industry and business, of ambassadors from other institutions and from foreign lands.
This gateway, as well as the research, engineering, manufacturing and commercial resources back of it, is open to all who are interested for the betterment of the electrical industry.
Illustrated bulletin, Y - 863, describing the company's several plants, will be mounted upon request. Address of manufacturer and mailing address.
