The Herrings and the First Great Combine PART II The Hanseatic League in England By Walter Mucklow The Site From the earliest times the German merchants had a depot behind Cannon street station, near the foot of the narrow Dow­ gate hill bordering the west side of the station. Apparently this neighborhood had for centuries been a centre of activities, for in few London streets have there been found more Roman remains than in Thames street, along a part of which ran the old Roman river wall, built on oak piles, overlaid by a stratum of chalk and stone and covered with hewn sandstone set in cement. In places this wall is twenty feet thick and some of the beams were 18 inches square. The Easterlings, as the early German merchants were called, first settled here and occupied the Hall of the Easterlings: later the merchants of Cologne held a part of Dowgate: and subse­ quently these two united, being then known as the “Merchants of Almaigne” and owned the “Dutch Guildhall.” The site was important, for in early times Dowgate was the only city gate opening to the river; therefore, it controlled foreign traffic and was of great value to the Germans in their efforts to govern this important business.

From the records of the coroner's court held in Hoboken, N. J., November, 1879, it appears that the Lehigh, which exploded in that city on the 28th of October, 1879, killing the engineer and fireman, was a passenger locomotive that had been remodeled in 1874. at which time the boiler was new. It had been in constant service, except while undergoing slight repairs, since May, 1874, on the Morris & Essex division of the D., L. & W. R. R. It was rebuilt under the direction of the master mechanic of the division, and was stayed in an extraordinary manner, having over fifty sling stays from the arch of the wagon top to the crown bars of the furnace, arranged in four rows, set as near radial to the arch as prac- ticable, Figs. 1 and 2. There were also hori- zontal cross stays from side to side of the shell between the crown bars, one to about every 5£ inches, and the crown bars were spaced the same distance apart, and consisted each of two broad parallel bars seated edgewise on the edge of the side plates of the furnaces and^ecured to the crown sheet by bolts, washers, and gibbs in the usual manner. See Fig. 1. The shell of 5 the boiler was made of T g iron plate, marked C.

    Mine Rescue Team Training Metal and Nonmetal Mines U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration National Mine Health and Safety Academy MSHA 3027 (Formerly IG 6) Revised 2008 Visit the Mine Safety and Health Administration website at www.msha.gov CONTENTS Introduction Your Role as an Instructor Overview Module 1 – Surface Organization Module 2 – Mine Gases Module 3 – Mine Ventilation Module 4 – Exploration Module 5 – Fires, Firefighting, and Explosions Module 6 – Rescue of Survivors and Recovery of Bodies Module 7 – Mine Recovery Module 8 – Mine Rescue Training Activities Introduction Throughout history, miners have traveled underground secure in the knowledge that if disaster strikes and they become trapped in the mine, other miners will make every possible attempt to rescue them. This is the mine rescue tradition. Today’s mine rescue efforts are highly organized operations carried out by groups of trained and skilled individuals who work together as a team. Regulations require all underground mines to have fully-trained and equipped professional mine rescue teams available in the event of a mine emergency. MSHA’s Mine Rescue Instruction Guide (IG) series is intended to help your mine to meet mine rescue team training requirements under 30 CFR Part 49. The materials in this series are divided into self-contained units of study called “modules.” Each module covers a separate subject and includes suggestions, handouts, visuals, and text materials to assist you with training. Instructors and trainers may wish to use these materials to either supplement existing mine rescue training, or tailor a program to fit their mine-specific training needs.

  • Gas Migration from Closed Coal Mines to the Surface. Risk Assessment Methodology and Prevention Means
    Post-Mining 2005, November 16-17, Nancy, France 1 GAS MIGRATION FROM CLOSED COAL MINES TO THE SURFACE. RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY AND PREVENTION MEANS Zbigniew POKRYSZKA1, Christian TAUZIÈDE1 and Candice LAGNY1, Yves GUISE2, Rémy GOBILLOT2, Jean-Maurice PLANCHENAULT2, René LAGARDE2 1 INERIS, Parc Technologique ALATA - BP N°2 - 60550 Verneuil-en-Halatte – France; [email protected], [email protected]. 2 Charbonnages de France, 100 avenue Albert 1er - BP 220 - 92503 Rueil-Malmaison - France, [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: French law as regards renunciation to mining concessions calls for the mining operator to first undertake analyses of the risks represented by their underground mining works. The problem of gas migration to the surface is especially significant in the context of coal mines. This is because mine gas can migrate to the earth's surface, then present significant risks: explosion, suffocation or gas poisoning risks. As part of the scheduled closure of all coal mining operations in France, INERIS has drawn up, at the request of national mining operator Charbonnages de France, a general methodology for assessing the risk linked to gas in the context of closed coal mines. This article presents the principles of this methodology. An application example based on a true case study is then described. This is completed by a presentation of the preventive and monitoring resources recommended and usually applied in order to manage the risk linked to gaseous emissions. KEYWORDS: gas, coal, mine, closure, risk. RESUME : La réglementation française en matière de renonciation aux concessions minières prévoit que l’exploitant minier réalise au préalable des analyses des risques présentés par ses travaux miniers souterrains.
