INSPECTOR TALKS.
Number of Deaths and Causes for Them
As Shown in Reports About Coal
Mines.

THE inspection of mines has been
in force in this state about twenty one
years. said Chief Inspector Paul
recently" and l14l men have been
killed in and around mines during
that time. Sixty per cent of these
have been killed by falling roofs,
twenty per cent by mine cars, and
twelve per cent by the explosion of
powder and gas, and seventv-hve
per cent OF the deaths were H. ct in
the miners rooms. The statistics
show that there is a tendency to in
crease in the number of mine casu
alties all over North America. A
majority of those killed we're Ameri
cans.
There has been very little if any
falling off in the aggregate produc-
ton of coal in this state during the
past year, in spite oil the fact that
the strike so seriously crippled a
large part of the West Virginia coal
territory, The increase in the out
put of the Fairmont and Norfolk and
Western fields, where the strike
lasted so short time as to amount
practically to nothing, almost en-
tirely compensated for the falling
off in the Kanawha and New River
field. In fact but tor shortage of
cars on the Norfolk and Western
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads,
the total output would have been as
large this year as any year in the
history in the state. The great de
velopments being made in all sec
tions of the state give assurance of a
tremendous increase in the output
during the next two or three years.

was small panic. As soon as the
