COAL MINE ACCIDENTS.

washington, Sept. 2s.--Accidents in coal
mines of the United States during the
last calendar year resulted in the death
OF s.lg5 men aud injury 10 ssh more. ac-
cordins to statistics Just made public by
the geological survey. The death rec
ord among the coal miners during the
year We're greater by 1,CS3 than IN 1870,
and is said to have been the worst year
in the history of the coal mining lhdus-
a try. 80
The figures do not represent the tull
extent of the disasters, as reports We're
NOT received from certain states having
no'5ini,,e inspectors West Virginia re-
ported the heaviest death rate IN lWi-i
1856 per thousand employees, and this
state also showed the lowest production
for each life lost-6o, 96a tons
New Mexico stood next on the list ana
Alabama third. Missouri had the lowest
death rate heading the roll of honor
with 95 and i39,J42 tons of coal mined
for each life lost.
statistics do not bear out The Idea that
most mine disasters result from eNpio-
sion OF the total number reported dur
ljHries were caused by powder explosions,
The chief cause of death, among the
miners, the report explains, was due to
the falling OF mine roofs and coal.
Such disasters caused 1,l22 deaths; and
2.li1 injuries
d. W Parker, chief stat!stician of the
survey asserts that much benefit Will
result from the action OF Congress IN
nppropriating Sl50.G0 to investigate mine
disa sters and take stpes 10 decrease the
number of accidents each year. He says
one of the greatest needs of the coal min
ing Industry Is the enforcement of milf
tary discipline In the operation of mines.
