Inspector Boyland's latest report on the ventilation of Australian Blue Asbestos mine and plant at Wittcnoom is hereunder. You will note that he does not anticipate much further trouble in tnie re gard. I visited this nine myself on the 11th and 12th instant Underground ventilation appeared to me to be reasonably satisfactory, but conditions in the plant still leave much to be desired. This, however, is being token care of and the Manager is giving it every attention. One Vmrraan dust collector has been installed, and another was ordered, but was unavailable at the time. A similar unit whs therefore constructed at the mine and installed. The second V/armen unit is in tran sit and will be installed on arrival in addition to the two already in use. Following the Inspector's last visit tijs irir.nagcr.unt ic installing a scries of suction pipes in the roof of the building, which when'in operation will draw off the dust as it forma. I ft-el that, under the present management, we will receive every co-operation in tills ratter. 14th July, 1950. It'-v^P Vi STAYK iiXNIiiG iliGZKiiKK, $71 ;:3 . \S /
