MINE INSPECTORS


 Several mining accidents with in the past few weeks empha- size once more the necessity for periodic inspection of Alaskan mines. While the accidents were apparently unavoidable, it is in- di>putabie that government su- pervision elsewhere has greatly lessened the frequency and seri- ousness of such accidents. The principal opposition to inspection comes, as was to be expected, from the big corporations. To these people governmental regu- lation in any form is abhorrcnt, and the killing and maiming of their employees a mere incident in the days wOrk-regrettable only because it brings publicity where secrecy is preferred. But the opposition from these sourc- es should be brushed aside as selfish and necessarily prcju- diced, and legislation passed which would guarantee the min CTS of Alaska the same degree of protection which is given to men of similar occupations in the states. The appointment of mine inspectors for the yari- ous districts of Alaska would not be expensive, considering the advantages to be gained and the greater security to fife and limb which inspection would in sure. In addition to this phase of the question regular inspcc- tion would hasten the introduce tion of better methods of min ing, better machinery and va1i- Ous other Improvements which would mean, in addition to greater efficiency, a conse- qnent increase of profits. Even apart from this view of the mat ter, no person has 8 right to use methods which are unnecessar- -uy d2.n@al:&1s, and the only way to prevent this is to employ a corps of government inspectors, who would be pledged to per form their duties in an efficient and honest manner, regardless of corporations or persons. By these means only can the num- Der of fatal and other accidents in Alaska's mines be reduced, and it is up to the miners and other citizens of Alaska to agi- tate until such inspectors are ap- pointed

In connection with the expenditure of $750 on the city roads in about 10 days, and Calla- hans comments on the appointment of a street commissioner, it would be interesting to find out how much of this S750 was incurred by Callahan himself, and how much of it could have been saved by good commissioner. The Citizen does not believe that the people of Fairbanks will ever be foolish enough 10 allow Callahan to control the street funds of the city, unless they have money to burn. The present city indebtedness is due almost entirely to Cal lahan's financial methods in the past

The limitless wealth of the Alaskan range is in another column a stream oi gold is being poured forth its southern side also. The Vai- dez creek district is turning out very well in deed, and Cache creek which has only become generally known during the past year, is likely to provide some surprise during the next few months. The Yentna river continues to be worked with satisfactory returns, and every stream rising in the neighborhood Of Mt. Nc Kinley and flowing to the west is sure to pro duce vast quantities of the precious metal. All that is needed is population. Given peo- pie of the right sort Alaska's advance to the front cannot be long delayed.
