The machines are ed until t hi- four benches are drilled, and then leturned to No. 1 bench. benches should be broken from the bottom of the stope upwards, instead of downwards as mostminers prefer to do: in working upwards thenext bench above is lengthened, which is anadvantage as it gives room tor the explosives to kickbeyond the bottom of the holes: in steep stopes theangle of the fares from the direction of full dipwould be less (see Fig. II.). Stoping would becomemore underhand in mines, where it was not advis-able to have a large amount of broken ore in thestopes (Fig. 11.); but in a mine where the brokenore could lie left so as to work on it (Fig. III.),then it would be cheaper to allow the stoping tobecome more overhand as the dip became greater.,\s more machines could be got to work comfort-ably, time would be
