Small Tunnels Run Under Ml Building Do you happen to be interested in mine shafts, oil wells, or pump ing jacks? If so, take a tour of the Minerals Industries Building. Two miniature mine tunnels run under the basement of the building. These are used by the Mining 481 classes to simulate the ventilation conditions of mine shafts. Through a series of doors and fans, the air is pumped into the tunnels and the amount needed to ventilate different sections of a tunnel is determined. Since timber retards wind, stu dents build structures similar -to those used in shafts to determine the wind, gage. Explosions are set off in the tunnels during the year, individ ually or in series. To prevent harm to the building, only the blasting caps are actually ex ploded. The outer tunnel is approxi mately 60 feet long and 20 feet wide; the smaller tunnel measures 50 feet by 15 feet. •The tunnels were built when the building was erected in the 1930’5.

By AL MUNN outlets were installed to enable testing equipment to be used any place in the tunnels. An American Standard Tool Rig, scaled from a 77-foot rig, was built in 1940 for the petroleum division. The model can do ac tual drilling, and is used to dem onstrate operating characteristics, power consumption, tool use, and the-names of the various parts. A 350-foot cased and tubed oil well is also underneath Mineral Industries. The well now only produces salt water. A full-scale pumping jack is over the well. The jack gives the students oper ating data, indicator cards, pow er consumption and counterbal ancing information. These, and many other interest ing structures, are housed in Min eral Industries. Surprising infor mation and pleasure may be re ceived with a little investigation.
