THAMES DEEP LEVELS BOARD. ■At the last meeting of the Thames Deep Levels Hoard, a letter was read from the Mining Inspector, suggesting dial certain precautions should be taken In connection -with carrying on work la -the main crosscut at lOuOrt. This was on account of the face being considered nearing the bijj slide. Amongst tie reqalreiilents were that shift bosses should be appointed at night to patrol the level, also that bore boles should be kept 'JUft ahead of the drive and also -at an angle. Baring 20ft at an angle was objected to by several members of the Board, and the mutter was referred to uh<? supervisor, .Mr. Wa-rne. to consult with tne inspector. A letter has been received, stating that the inspector had consented to allow the bore-holra to stand tor [he present, provided that Mr. K. F. Adams marks tie position of the slide on the plan. VVirh regard to the shift bosses, the Mining Inspector requires that the iloatiatalari sitbsidiary crosscut should tie looked after toy a. shift ■boss. It has therefore been arranged that in the subsidiary crosscut the shift bosses shall report "to Mr. Gordon, manager of the Moauaßaiari mine, and in the crosscut to the supervisor, Mr! \varne. Notification 'Iras been forwarded to the Board, from the Mines Department, that a voocher has been passed for the pay men* of £1000, as .the first instalment of the Government contribution, of £5000.
