The size of these pillars depends upon the nature of the roof and the solidity of the floor. The taking out of the pillars begins when the levels, or drifts, have reached the end of the bed, or the extent of the field to be worked, or exhausted portions of the mine, or in general arrived at the predetermined limits. The beginning is made at the point farthest removed from the main or work- ing shaft or gangway, and the work proceeds towards this shaft or gangway, so that the roof may be allowed... to crush in without interfering with transportation and ventilation, and the workings still be carried on in other portions of the mine. FIG. 48. PLATE IX. FIG. 49. FIG. 50. FIG. 51. To face page 294. STRATIFIED DEPOSITS AND BEDS. 295 The separate pillars are taken one after another, beginning with the upper one and proceeding down in the direction of the dip. Before this is commenced and while it is going on, the roof has to be supported either by timbers or dry walls. As soon as one pillar has been taken away and the materials composing it removed, the timbers supporting the roof are carefully taken away, provided it can be done without danger, otherwise they are abandoned and the roof is allowed to fall.
