Since the Westinghouse company made its recent successful attempt in New York to pick up local broadcasting staticns from a point in a tunnel 80 ft. below the Hudson ing station at Kellogg, 20 miles away, was heard, though unintelligibly. Similar tests are reported to have been made at the Junction shaft ofthe Calumet & Arizona, in Bisbee, where on the 1,400 level what seemed like wireless code was picked up. These results, of course, are too meager to indicate anything. But such tests are interesting and can well be continued, if only to teach us in general the possibilities and limitations of radio. What value will radio have in mine work? Two uses suggest themselves; for communication between the mine office or other near-by surface points and the underground workings, and, secondly, for commnuication between two points both of which are underground. In the first case it may prove an acceptable substitute for the wired mine telephone. In the second it may have advantages when accidents occur and one part of the mine is cut off from tbe rest. Several limitations and objections at once suggest themselves. Should ground fall or a fire occur and a group of men be isolated, as happened in the Argonaut mine, radio would be of little value unless the trapped miners could transmit as well as receive. / nd werej such transmission practicable, would the necessary equipment be at hand for thej entombed miners to make use of? Hew and where would such equipment be disposed of underground ordinarily?
