Lamps. In some of the mines of the north of England, South Wales, and Scotland, and in Saxony and other parts of Germany, small metal lamps are used, in which colza, rape, or other oil is burnt. These lamps are made with a small hook for attachment to the miner's hat, and a spike which may be placed in a joint of the rock when the place of work is reached. The light given by such lamps is not equal to that of good candles, and this is probably the reason why they have not found favour in Cornwa...ll; but the cost does not exceed from f d. To Id. Per shift or core of eight hours, which is about one-half the cost of candles. Within the last few years, lamps for burning paraffin and petroleum oils underground have been devised. The author has not seen any of them; but they are well spoken of, as they give a good light at little cost. Hitherto, 122 PRINCIPLES OP METAL MINING.
