§ Mr. Beechmanasked the Secretary for Mines whether he can state the result of experiments with mist projectors for the purpose of allaying dust and explosive fumes in tin mines; and whether there is a prospect of such projectors being generally used in the tin mines in Cornwall?
§ Captain CrookshankMist projectors have for some time past been in regular use in the three largest tin mines in Cornwall for the purpose of allaying dust and explosive fumes after blasting in fast3326W ends and other confined places underground and the results have been very satisfactory. At the remaining tin mines, little development work is in progress, but if and when conditions arise which necessitate the use of mist projectors, the matter will be further considered.
