Deadly gas dangers in western metal mines warned by bureau
The Bureau of Mines reports two fatal gas accidents in 1920 Western metal mines at Burke Idaho and Colville Washington. Explosives released carbon monoxide and other gases, despite ventilation efforts. The report urges effective ventilation, cautions against straight nitroglycerine use, and reviews existing blasting data and safer handling in a concise special paper by D Harrington and J W Dyer.

Mechanical ventilation advances in metal mines and coal safety
The article describes compact air fans with canvas or galvanized pipes delivering 1000 to 5000 plus cubic feet per minute, or 10 to 25 times that of compressed air blowers. When used as blowers they create a moving air stream at the work face improving worker comfort, stealth, and safety by dispersing explosive fumes, with large metal mines adopting new systems, especially in the west, and a push toward mandated efficient underground ventilation.
