This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. ISSN 0309-2199 THE SNAEFELL MINE: ACCIDENT 1897 P.J. Challis In proportion to its area the metalliferous wealth of the Isle of Man was large. The two biggest mines, Laxey and Foxdale, ranked amongst Britain’s largest producers, especially of zinc ore. On a much smaller scale was the Snaefell mine, situated on the eastern foot of Snaefell mountain about 3 miles northwest of Laxey village to which the mine was connected by a rough cart-track. In May 1897 the mine was the scene of a tragic accident, from which although it recovered to continue production for 11 years was to shorten the life of one of this country’s most eminent mining engineers and geologists - Sir Clement Le Neve Foster (DNB). The Snaefell lode was discovered in a stream bed and work commenced seriously in 1856 and continued with minor interruptions until 1908 when a fall blocked the shaft. Later, in the 1950s, the waste tips were re-worked by Metalliferous Holdings Ltd. who installed a crushing mill and flotation plant. Many of the present day remains date from this period (Ind.

  • The Landmarks That Shape the Island's Distinctive Landscape
    14 ISLE OF MAN EXAMINER www.iomtoday.co.im Tuesday, August 14, 2018 BUILDINGS AT RISK The landmarks that shape the island’s distinctive landscape Frank Cowin, a Blue Badge Guide, shares his views on the buildings and structures of interest and importance in our landscape and their vary degrees of protection – or lack of protection. hen guides are train- ing, the im- portance of TVPs and TPIs are stressed. WTVPs are Top Visual Points – those things that can be seen from that position and which could catch the attention and interest of those in the group; whereas TPIs are the Top Points of Interest in the area – things not necessarily in sight but which have a story to tell. King Orry’s Grave is obvi- ously a TVP if you are travel- ling by coach and have turned off the main Ramsey Road at Minorca to go over the Ballar- agh Road. It is clearly visible from the coach and, with luck, the coach may be able to loiter alongside it whilst being ready to move on if other traffic ap- pears. On other occasions with more specialist groups it would warrant a visit actually to the site. Continuing on the way to Ramsey via Maughold a small group of pine trees seen across the Ballaglass valley mark the site of Cashtal yn Ard, which then becomes a TPI espe- cially as King Orry’s Grave has already been seen and explained. Both King Orry’s Grave and Cashtal yn Ard – as Neolithic burial long barrows – are fully protected as ancient monu- ments, as is Lag ny Keilley on the steep seaward slope of Cronk ny Iree Lhaa.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 INTRODUCTION This thesis is the result of two years interest in carbon monoxide asphyxia. It was intended to be somewhat larger but it has been shortened by two occurrences. The first was the publication in the winter of 1 9 3 8 -5 9of "Carbon Monoxide Asphyxia" by C.K. Drinker. A large amount of work which had been reviewed for this thesis was there set forth in a way which could be imitated but not improved. The second curtailing factor was the outbreak of war. My interest in carbon monoxide lay mainly in two fields. Firstly there was the practical aspect of asphyxia of aircraft pilots and secondly the question of aids to present methods of treatment.

This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. ISSN 0309-2199 URANIUM IN THE ISLE OF MAN A review of the history and geology of uranium prospects at Snaefell and Laxey mines. David B. Hollis (Manx Mines Research Group) SYNOPSIS A material, originally believed to be anthracite, was first found in Great Laxey lead mine in about 1890. Subsequent investigations by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, and others, showed it to contain uranium. An account of these investigations is given, along with a description of the occurrence and geology of the uranium bearing mineral. Although the Isle of Man is known for its lead, zinc, and copper ores, few people are aware that an unusual uranium ore exists there. This has attracted the interest of both geologists and atomic energy authorities on a number of occasions. This article gives a brief description of the history of these investigations, and considers possible modes of formation of the deposit. Essentially, the island consists of a central range of hills running north-east to south- west, flanked on the north-west and the south-east by lowland areas.

Williams SYNOPSIS Inspectors of mines provided detailed accounts of accidents in metalliferous mines between 1873 and 1914. This study considers the accidents reported in the mines of Flintshire and Denbighshire, where the biggest causes of accidental death were falls in shafts and falls of ground, and the Minera mines were the most accident-prone. The reports also provide useful information on the state of the mining industry. INSPECTORS OF MINES The Parliamentary papers published by the government in the 19th century supply a great wealth of data for the historian on contemporary life and industry. The historian of mining will find much material in a series of reports on the industry, perhaps the best known being the report of the Children’s Employment Commission, 1842 — familiar on account of its illustrations of the terrible conditions suffered by children underground in coal mines — and that of the Kinnaird Commission, which reported on conditions in metal mines in 1864. These reports have been quarried as sources by writers for many years; extensive use was made of them for instance by A.K. Hamilton Jenkin in his classic study, The Cornish Miner, in 1927. Best known of all are the printed mineral statistics, from 1845, which have been published, area by area, by the University of Exeter Press.
