An examination is now being carried on to detoiniino tho sbapo of tho sulphide rock dust vanicles and their effect on the lungs. In tho Transvaal it is said that tlie maximum lifo of a rock-drill minor is only nino years owing to the blade-like sharpness of tho particles. The report by the experts ot thisiuveMigtiion will bo invaluable ic tho wholo of the Australian mining public.
