Underground coal burning as heating gas tested at Gorgas
The Gorgas experiment, costing about 75000 dollars with two thirds funded by Alabama Power and one third by the Bureau of Mines, showed underground combustion and gas production could be maintained and controlled. Engineers Milton H. Fies James L. Elder and James J. Dowd led the four month test, quenching flames in April to study roof action and gas quality deemed not crucial. Col L C McCab notes similar Belgian experiments underway.
