Nov. 190 It will be seen that the maximum quantity ofair in the whole period was 59,000 (which is much the same as the maximum observed in 190 1),but it is probable (from the fart that the lowest temperature observed was 39°) that in thecoldest snap of the year, which would beabout 32 F. wet-bulb, the ventilation will nowrise to 70,000 cub. ft. per minute. The minimum observed was 19,500 this time(in 1904 it was 14.500), corresponding roughlywith the general improvement due to the increasedsize of workings. 1 do not know exactly howmany workers are underground at any one time—perhaps Mr. Mitchell will oblige—but assuming650, this gives 30 cub. ft. per man per minute,the maximum being about 100 cub. ft. per man. In addition the daily averages and the totalaverage have been obtained by the use i f the plani-meter on the curves, with the following results:— Table B. I. Date ^24
