Since At~uet 1948, 33 additional s-153 machines have been put into opera-
tiun in etopee of the Moscow Basin. These machines completely replaces manual
labor in lasdine3 coal into care. Each one of the mechanical loaders replncee
away workers. Bifty of these machines are already in operation in wines of the
Hoebaee. Tb.eir Clamber will be triplod by nsrt August.
Another ~nno?~ntion is a amsll battery-powered electric locomotive, pl,pularly
called the "1vYrlik" (the dwarf). It d:jlivere the coal from advanced etopes and
replacoe the work of two or three drivers. Bofors Augaet 1948, there were only
a few r,P tiheeo locometi.vee ;.n the Moebese, but nue there are over 40, and by
Adguet 190 therrl should he 100.
The (7TB 3 cutting machine hpe been need eucceeafuLly far a long time. Aow
new machines have been des]gned etgd are being produced. Among'thepa are the ffi~-1,
and Mi-60 cutting mnchiaee, which are superior to thb GT%3 mnchf.ne. Seven of .
the~nav machiaos are new in operation in Moebnse mines. $Y August 1950, about
ens ttii-d of all the old tatting mac:hinee will be replaced by the new, improved
>tosch3iJ$a.
The 8talinagorek Mine Po 22 hee more tl~n doubled its planned production
capacity in 1949, and nop it.e daily production ie greeter than the former produc-
tion of al.l the minas of Moecw Coal Basin taken together.

The Tkibuli coal deposits in Georgia are estreank+ly oomplei in their
etruoture awi forrmtion of layers. The 9d43eabilitQ of mining T&ibuli octal
Aderporite xith the help cf'hydraullc methods has base rvonsidered for a aumba^
bf ytlars, This method is besseatially as fo2,loxs: after removing one layer of
Coal, the e:apty epees is filled xlth fine-grained rack with the help of a
h~draulio aoavoyerr, this layer of rock settles down sad eoaeolidntes, tta:s
forming the basis for mining the following layer. Thus, in xcrking upward
a~ having a firm foundation below, it is possible to take out s11. the cohl-
;ithout lsaving +u+J' seems or blooke. With the ourremt method of ooal mining

Ths coal thus re?esine is the stowed, repreeerating a loge of up to 6O peroraic.

"oorgiw aeientiete have lately increased their aid to mine workers. The
171!lL1~.L'te of t~ctal a,.d Mining, Academy of IIcisncee Cr9orgian 88R, under the super-
~leion of A. Dzidziguri, Candidate in Technical Sciences, has done valuable work
in this connection. At the request of the ?Gruzugol'" Combine, the institute hen
organized so-called depression surveys in mines. Grcupe of scientific workers
were action far several months in the mines of Tkibuli and Tkvarcheli. The
ventilation system vas thoro'ugLly studied, which resulted in developing measures
for the lmprovement of mine ventilation.

A Tkvarcheli mine worker he.~ ir_vented a new boring bit which will double the
speed of drilling for coal cf average hardnes9. Mass productiai of this device ie
wader way in the central electrical enginoering shops of the truelt.
An automatic signaling device is abcut to be tested on the air cableway.
