 pIosions Kill But Few.

Washington. Sept. 2S.lAccidents in ccal mines of the United States during the last calendar year caused the death of S,l2b men. and injury to 5.316 more, The death record was greater by 1,033 than in 1906, and is said to have beea tre largest in the history of the coal. inning industry. The figures do not represent the full extent of the disas- ters, as reports were not received from certain states having no mine inspec- .ors.
 Statistics do not bear out the popu- lar Idea that most mln3 disasters re- suit from explosions Of the total num- Der reported during last year. 947 deaths and S43 injuries resulted from gas and dust explosions, and 20l deaths and 4l6 injuries were caused by pow der explosions The chief cause of death among the miners was the fall ing of mine roofs and coal. Such dis asters caused 1,122 deaths and 2,141 in- juries.
