AS the available remaining properties of iron ore reserves on the Mesabi Range are opened up for mining, the various properties located under lake beds are brought nearer an active status. The actual physical problems involved in stripping these properties do not act as a deterrent so much as the legal and political problems that are encountered.

"Comparison of Secondary Fe-Mn Oxides in Fracture Coating and Heavy-Mineral Concentrates as Sampling Media, Silver City Mining Region, New Mexico," a technical paper, appeared in the Aug. 1983 issue of the magazine. In Table 1, page 1182, the correct sequence of the first five metals in column 1 (Elements) should read: Zn, Pb, Cu, Fe, and Mn under "Central District" and Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, and Mn under "Pinos Altos District." The published table shows the sequences transposed under the opposite districts. All other columns and sequences read correctly.

"Quiet, please!" is the newest directive being thrust at industry by guardians of the environment-with good reason. In countless cases, industrial noise is literally deafening its listeners, and sooner or later the volume must be turned down. Noise control is already mandatory for many companies under a Federal regulation that went on the books when the Walsh-Healey Act was revised last May 20. The new rules impose specific noise limits on any plants supplying the Government with goods under a contract valued at more than $10,000.

This paper aims to characterise the forms of slope instability incident in surface coal mines in Britain. These are related to observed controlling factors, with particular reference being given to slope geometry and structure. The work is based on specific data collection programmes considering actual stable and unstable mine slopes. Reference is made to field examples.

AMONG the many interesting objects to be seen at the Vienna Exhibition last summer, the model of the system of underground transportation by a continually moving chain, adopted at the Hasard collieries, at Micheroux, near Liége, Belgium, was one of the most attractive, and full of valuable suggestion to mining engineers. These collieries are under the superintendence of the celebrated

The writer spent the month of November last in the La Plata mountains, Colorado, and the material portion of his observations, so far as they may be of general interest, is here recorded. The La Plata mountains lie northwest of the town of Durango. The California mining district is co-extensive with the mountains. They appear on the map as an isolated group; but an examination on the ground shows that they are the continuation of the great

D. W. OHERN, Oklahoma, Okla. (communication to the Secretary*). -The author states: "A shale layer buried beneath 2,000 or 3,000 ft. of strata, in some instances, will upon folding become thicker in the synclines and thinner on top of the anticlines." In any series of folded strata there is a level of no strain. Provided the strata do not slip on each other, there would be above this level a thickening of strata in the synclines and a thinning on the anticlines, as the author states, while the converse would obtain below this level. In order that the author's

Methods are given for estimating heat flows into mining excavations of various types, with an example to illustrate how the refrigeration requirements are then determined after allowing for the cooling effects of the ventilation air.
