OF Oklahoma is Filed
with Governor

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 24.-The third
annual reports Of Chief Mine Inspector
Pete Hanraty and Chief Deputy Oil
and Gas Inspector II. II. Breene for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910,
have been filed with Governor Has
kell. The mine inspectors sum
maries show a total Of fifty-one fatal

last year, against twenty-three fatal
accidents for the last eight months
of the fiscal year ending June 30,
1907; and ninety-nine non-fatally in
jured as against seventy-two the year
before. OF the 1909-19te fatal acct
dents to coal miners, fourteen We're
killed by firing their own shots in
violation Of the mining law; eleven
we're killed BY gas explosions, which
says the chief mine inspector, would
not have happened If reasonable care
had been exercised"
Thirty-three women We're left wld-
ows and 121 children fatherless by
the fatalities OF the last year report
ed
From June 30, 1909, to June 80,
1910, s,113,431 tons OF coal We're pro-
duced which is llO,321 tons more than
were mined the year previous.
There were 1904 tons of lead and
zinc concentrates produced Two men
were killed in the lead and zinc mines
or one man killed for every s,cO7 tons
OF lead and zinc produced. For every
61 .047 tons of coal mined it cost a
human life
Other mining products are as fol
lows: 122,O93 tons Of gypsum, 5,S92
tons of asphalt, LAP tons of coke.
It is estimated that sales Of oil and
gas for the past year amounted to
$18,OOO. 600, that there have been 15,-
600 wells drilled in Oklahoma, OF
which 1000 were dry holes or have
been abardoned, leaving about 10000
producing wells in operation During
the years l9O9-1910,, S,34O wells were
drilled, Of which 2,S03 were oil wells,
1876 gas wells, 4O2 dry holes. The to-
tai number Of wells plugged under
state inspection was SAG.
The daily production of oil in Okla
homa is estimated at $4,000 barrels
cf crude; the estimated volume Of
commercial gas is 1,225 million cubic
feet The report concludes by saying
that for the first time since the dis
covery Of the Oklahoma oil fields the
pipe line facilities are ample to take
care Of the production. The Standard

Purchase Electrical improvements.

The village council, in special session
Thursday afternoon, purchased 1S7 X.
w. three phase revolvidg field gener-
ator for direct connection to
turbine. 1t will be the latest and most
modern machine on the market, elima-
ting losses in betting and by friction
and of the same type and design as
those used by the largest hydro-electric
plants in the country. This will give
L'Anse an opportunity to offer manu-
featuring industries cheap power to
locate here, and help build up large
town. The capacity of the new dynamo
will be three times that of the present
generator and all that the water
wheel can develop, and of course the
capacity of this new dynamo can be
doubled by putting in another pipe line
and water wheel and duplicate gener-
ator, and if still further power isdesired,
Tightening of the dam could be done at
slight expense.
The people of this village may well
be proud of their electric lighting plant;
very few places if any have the natural
advantages that we have here and
when the new machinery is installed
our plant will rank with any of its
size.

Fort Wayne, Indiana, who are one OF

MASS MEETING HELD.
Citizens Of L'Anse and Vicinity Favor
Angus w. Kerr.

A mass meeting of the citizens of
L'Anse and vicinity was held in the
Town Hall June Goth, the meeting
having been called for the purpose of
considering publicly what part it would
be wise for them to take in the present
Congressional contest. Meeting was
presided over by Harris G. Smith.
After the meeting was called to order
and everyone present had been called
upon to express their views. vote was
taken to see which candidate the people
would support. 1t was unanimous for
Mr.. Kerr. Then committee on res
olutionsvwas appointed, who brought
in the following, which was unanimous
ly adopted.
''It is considered that in view of the
fact that Speaker Cannon will not be
reelected to the same position in the
next Congress and that those members
who have prided themselves upon being
friends of his in the present session Of
Congress are very likely to be without
influence in the next, it would not be
the part of wisdom for the people here
to support the Hon. H. o. Young for
denomination. In taking this position
we but reflect the sentiment of the
the people all over the United States
who will unquestionably control and
who are demanding Congress more
responsive to the wishes of their consti-
tueDts."
1T is therefore certain from our point
of view that thd next Congress will be
controlled by the progressive republicans
and this being the case we feel sure of
our ground when we take the position
that Mr.. Young, notwithstS nding his
experience, will be unable to accomplish
good results for the people of this dis
trict because the alliances that he has
heretofore formed will put him out of
accord with the leaders of the next
Congress,
1T is not the fault of the people of
the district that Mr.. Young has put
himself in position where he is no
longer useful; what we want is a
Congressman that will accomplish good
results in the next Congress and in view
of the fact that near at home and in
the adjoining county of Houghton we
have candidate for Congress, Angus
w. Kerr who if nominated and elected
will be in perfect accord and harmony
with progressive Republicanism."
''He is young republican with a
good record and bright prospects for
the future and will under all the cir
cumstances make useful member of
Congress, therefore we resolve to give
him our best efforts for his nomination
by the Republican Party of this district.
Committee on Resolutions. Harry
Culver, Delore Menard, Charles Menge,
A. B. Gomez, Meador Seavoy."
After many speeches, expressions of
good will for Mr.. Kerr, the meeting
was adjourned.
