FEDERAL CHIEF OF MINES

In the appointment of DR.. Joseph A. Holmes to
be director of the bureau Of mines it is con-
ceded in Washington that probably the best
equipped man for the position in the United
States has been gained for this important post.
Ever since congress passed the bill creating
the bureau and giving 1t authority to investigate
mine disasters, make experiments and suggest
means whereby accidents may be decreased and
the yearly casualty list shortened, efforts have
been made by hundreds of interested persons to
have DR.. Holmes selected as chief. The indorse-
ment of all the coal operators associations has
been given every prominent mining engineer in
the country including John Hays Hammond, has
made his plea for DR.. Holmes, and the miners
union hos added its efforts In his

an incentive for good men to exert their
