Mysore Geological Department. Report of the Chief Inspector of Mines for the Year 1905-06 with Statistics for the Calendar Year 1905

1908

but this year it is even better owing chiefly to the excellence of the developments at the bottom of Ribbiesdale's and Tennant's shafts and the discovery of a new shoot South of the one known as Tennant's which if it continues for any distance will greatly enhance the value of the property. [...] Considering the fluctuations this Mine has undergone during the last fifteen years there is no reason to suppose that it is likely to remain in its present state indefinitely the East Reefs towards the Northern section of the property having opened up well while the main reef North of Taylor's shaft near the bottom of the Mine shows a slight improvement. [...] The power developed both by the Cauvery Power Scheme and the Kolar Mines Power Station continues to give the utmost satisfaction the two plants having run without interruption during the year (1905) but there were a few stoppages later on of power from the former scheme while the hot weather lasted owing to the scarcity of water in the river Cauvery. [...] The shoot just below the 1 900 feet level had practically been burnt out but only the ends of the plat timbers against the hanging wall side were touched ; the rest of the plat was —barring some of the planks covering it —intact. [...] The presence of one of the medical officers at the shaft top with several cylinders of oxygen was certainly the means of saving the lives of some of the men brought up suffering from the effects of partial suffocation.
