Old Ben 21 mine resumes production after gas extinguished
The Old Ben 21 mine in Sesser Illinois with 500 workers, idled since October 6 for a hot spot in abandoned workings, resumes the 8 a.m. shift. About 300 tons of liquefied carbon dioxide were pumped into the sealed section from the surface 600 feet up to smother the slow burning fire. The hot spot, sometimes from spontaneous combustion, was detected by carbon monoxide traces in air samples. Inspections deemed the area safe to reopen.
