, BY: HERBERT HACKWORTH;
The want ,of popular information on the
subject of mining, may " Science in
the Mines" to be looked upon, by many as in
volving more..-difficulties and mysteries than
the other subjects to; be found in the pro
gramme of educational leitures. By the aid
of a little science; to explain and to illustxste,
these difficulties -will'disappear • the empiri
dams of the practical man' will be; found to
belong to general ,rules, and -the art of min
ing will be•shown in each step of hi-develop
ment to be. indebted 'to the labors'. of ',Eorttc
tical: men of science.: To prOve.thits close re
lation, it might almost suffice to recall die
names of those who have led the way to_ the
way to the improvemeAt of the art ; i of Smeit;
ton, Watt, Stephenson, Davy, Buddle, Wood, '
and" Taylor in our own land, and of Werner,
Humboldt, `and Combes on the Continent.,
But to convince a miner (than no ote adheres '
more stoutly to that muCh abused title, "' i a
practical man") of the full , scope and power
of his auxiliary, a close investigation is ne
cessary.
Experience is the foundatir of seenceoiel
skill. Reasoning on the results of: previctiis
labors, in order to overcome a difficult' o'f.a
new or a greater kind, is identicali with the
inductive process of the man of science.
.If
it were possible to find a man in noway in
debted to science, even the most iiitlinientary
such as the practical man asrunicahimself
to be, he could copy ,or re.produce,• but not
better thh_n many machines, and would
be infinitely surpassed by them! in econ
omy and, power. The instances,i are un
fortunately, very numerous where the practi
cal Man affects to desPise the experience of
others oethe aid of science : he Li ignorant
because be restricts himself to his Own limit=
ed experience; he occasionaly indulges in the
wildest speculation, because he will not un
derstand the reason of what be doeliand sees;
and certainly the mistakes which , have been
committed bVilie abuse of science are not
to be laid hithe balance with they enormous
sums of money which are day by day squan
dered in this country by intrusting the charge
of- works, often involving novelty and im
provement, to the hands of ignorant or un
educated men. 1 am not miderating the value
of practical experiment and knowledge ;.it is
the foundation of science, as science is of the
advances of practice. There are three ways
-in which we have drawn from the exhaustless
stores of science to supply our wants and en
large our resources. - We have Made some
progress by those brilliant though rare ills
coveries, the results it may Ibe of accident or
imagination, but which arc linked 41 the use
ful and the known' by the laws science.
slip more is due to application of ithese laws
to correct our 4ndgment or performancea, and
to modify and ;improve rdir plans; but it is in
ita thinfremaining province that;', science is
Wihservient to mankind 4large ; it explains,
it generalizes, it becomes our guide and
spreads among men that knowledge by which
the powerof the head is- added to! and ;skills
that of the hand.. Nothing is s in simple or
too common to be beneath its sphere ;; from
the food we eat to the latest success ofi agri
cultural chemistry ; from the shaping of n pen
to the- machine. which prints-8,000 copies in
an hour, and from 'the excavation Ofa quarry
to .the winning of a deep mine; ire find, on
examination, thatwhatever we at present call
perfection we owe to the laborers: : of applied
science.
Gls the mines haie been the binh-place of
oar railways and of the locomoti!e, stinithe
nurseries of the highest engineeriOg talent, it
may be supposed with truth that they *sent
extraordinary difficulties, and therefore, that
under the pressure of necessity they; &tee
into activity the highest order of skill for their
improvement. In fact, a NewcaStle colliery
presents the 'most remarkable Mlustritton
which this or any other country can boast Of,
the successful applicationofTscience and ex.
geriment for successive lift, to overcome tle
ifficulties of practice. litany mining:districts
might be mentioned Which , am halts century
behind the North of -,, England -in,econotnictil
improvements; and as exhibiting-the want
of information amongst even the managers of "
mines in.-these districts, it :may almost be
taken as rule,, that wherever minerals are
abundant near the surface, and eaaily
bie r there the most primitive, western; "lid
espensive'metheds are retained foi extracting
them.",' The entire cost of extfacting and

coal, and this indeed is the ground and aim
of the interference of foreign governments
with, witting education. The result of the
Staffordshire systeni is a scarcity of minerals,
now pressing severely 'on the mannfactufers
of that district; but it is gratifying to find that
the recent labors of the Geological Survey are
bringing to light the existence of beds of coal
and ironstone, which will happily compensate
for the dearth caused by practical ignorance
and error. The introductiori of permanent
competent competition in the trade will tend,
tut it always ' does, to the employment of sci
ence, and the result may be safely predicted
in the shape of larger profits to the proprietor
and 'increased safety to the workmen. 1 - i
A large mine is a very complicated machine.
To understand thoroughly _ its kworking t in
volves a study of boring, sinkin g , pUmping,
winding, hauling, getting, , andventillation.
The most popular and correct account is 0
be found in Longman's shilling series; entitled
":Our Coal and our Coal-pits," and a similar
'work by the same author on the Cornith
Mines, which are the most important inetalie
Minns, is issuing front 'the press. Some coal
mines cover an area oftwo square miles, coil;
Mining upwards of 160 . miles of galleries, and
40 miles of underground railway. The shafts

the surface in Belgium. The month or eye
or the shaft is covered by a lofty pyramid of
timber,( coal . Screens, engine houses, and
pimping and winding machinery. - A direct
acting 'engine brings 2. tons of coal to the stir
face every minute, at a velocity of 20 miles
per houri whilst an underground engine',
working an endless;rope, draws trains of 50
wagons at a time from the extremity of work
ing, twin miles distant from the .sliaft, at the
rate of 10 or 15 miles per hour., Upiards of
1,000 men and 50 horses are employed in.
driving, exploring galleries, in maintaining
the roof, the roads, the ventilation, arid regu
lar working of every part,' in extracting the
coal, and keeping the trains and eng ines

shafts in the right places, the blastin g ,
ing and ventilation of the mine, and thede
Scent and-ascent of the miners kierfected, and
the ores are at length "at grass,'' can we yet
decide 'on the best mode of dressing them ?-
-Can no , improvements be matte in crushing,
stamping, or calcining? Can we from prat
tice, or from any analytical skill at hand, at
once determine whiit ores are sufficiently rich
in iron, manganese, 'silver, arsenic, cobalt,
chrome, zinc, or sulphur, to warrant our pur
imit or sefection.of them ? The beat mode of
separating many, of those substances, to say
nothing of the smelting of our inferior copper
bres,is still to be'learned." Has not Pattniori,
by his!scientifiC skill, added more than 20,--
0001 per annum to the value of the lead ores
Of England, and reduced the expenses of
traeting the ,silver by two-thirds? I assert,
without fear of contradiction, that however
desirithle the division of labor, and however
conversant the mine agent may be with a few
or more of his pursuits, circumstances' con
stantly arise in which 'his experience ; alone
will not guide him. I gladly admitthar many
'of our engines and' mining works, partly_ the
result of ,the strong necessity, and the enor
mous expenditure and the scale in which in
numerable trials were imade, are Models for
imitation, and that we possess •many men of
geniis and,iiidustry, who, after having labori
ously groped their way for yeais, have given
to their' undertakings' the touches of a mas
ter's hand. But in the interval how much
,has been lost to the country in , the relinquish
ment of deep mines? and if we conld analyze
long mental process, it would be seen how
largely these men had imbibed from time to
;time the impottantAriiths developed by etlu
, ca,ted minds of deep. thought. It must not
:be forgotten that' this experience has often
been obtained at a great expenditure of life,
;time. and money. If in the healing art the
'uneducated at length' attain considerable pro
ficiency, still the veil must be drawn over the
death and anffering which marked his pro
greas; so in mining, the apprenticeship has
often cost the lords theabandonment of valu
able veins, and the adventurers sums varying
from 100!. to 5,000 E, and 'without the - henefit
to be derived from . communicating ,generally.
the causes of failure or ultimate sateen.
How often - do we find the expense of boring
or sinking shafts incurred before the geology,
cal •nature' of the country is ascertained.
Large sums have, in_, this way, been squander
ed.in searching for coal. About 40 years ago,
at Wincanton.tind Oxford, borings were corn
rneheed in the Oxford clay, and continued
down to the oolite. The coal measures, if
they exist beneath, being probably two-thirds
r of a mile deeper still. Borings, equally
successful, were undertaken at. Chard, in the
lies of Bomersetshire, without a previous ex
amination of the 30 miles of coup t 7 interve
ning between this and the nearest point of the
Somersetshire coal field. In 1836 a sum of
30,0001., was expended in sinking at . King* .
thorpe. near Nortbampten, with the expecta
tion of finding coal. 'The shaft passed through
the Jim and the °Ate." and reached the new
red sandstone at a depth of 320 pulls, being
stopPed by the influx of• the 'saline waters of
th e latter series of beds. There is nothing
within twenty miles of the spot to mark the
dip or even the existence ot carbonifetpus
rocks, the depth of which below the surface
ought not to be estimated at 'leas than 700
yards.' Several hundred yards in the coal
• strata may be penetrated without reaching a ,
workable seam. • Notwithstanding these prac
