few FATALITIES
IN LOCAL Mines
REPORT OF GEO. BRAND, INVEs-
TiGAToR FOR EMPLOYERS
LIABILITY cOMMls-
SION, is OUT.

George brand OF Houghtou epecia.
intlstigatar for the Michgiu Employ
er's Lablllt aul Wor6meu 'om-
pensation commission in IL, copper
country. completed his work ou sept.
1, and his report shows mt tbJre are
comparatively few fatal Boo the 10
cal mines. Mr.. Brand bes.. his work
IN july, and he states that he was
given every assistance by the mining
companies
Althcu, the reports have not all
yet been compiled, Mr.. Brand predicts
that they will disclose several surpris-
ing facts; namely. a very low number
of fatal accidents (when the many
thousand men employed are consider
ed) and a remarkably few injuries re-
sulung in permanent disability such
as the loss Of an arm, leg or eye. Most
of the accidents reported consist of
such minor injuries as a lacerated
hand. anger, or skull bruises and
sprains, resulting in the loss OF but
few days time.
The commission aimee lu secure full
reports OF the nulllbti VI ilitttAS.A lt't ~
cidents in the state during 1910, the
nature of the same and the cause
thereof. together with the amount of
time lost by the injured man, and the
amount or assistance received.
Mr.. Brands reports show that he
invc stigated the Champion, Trimoun-
tain, Baltic, Calumet q Hecla, Osceo-
Ia. Tamarack. Wolverine, Ahmeek, Al
louez. Centennial and Isle Royale
mines. Each Of these mines maintains
and aid fund from which a man who is
injured for a period of time fixed by
the aid fund rules draws aid amount
ing TO a dollar "A day at most of the
mines and at none less than i've dol
lars per working week When a man
is killed his heirs receive an amount
which varies at the different mines,
from 5000 to 5000.
The report OF the mine inspector for
the year ending Sept 80. 1910, shows
that there were 50 men killed during
that year. This is remarkable when it
is considered that the estimated num-
Der of men employed was between 15,-
600 and 10000 and that they work APP
proXimately 800 days per year.

tract at Eastwood Lake and the boat
is now being loaded aboard HAT car
for transportation there. She will
tow logs for Michael Ward 60 the
swallow 4 Hopkins boom.
The famous old tug. known to an
marine men about the head of the
lakes. has been raised by the dry dock
of the Peter Grignon shipyards and
will be overhauled and reprinted
throughout before shipment Although
built in 1863 and therefore AZ years
old, the hull is i'm good condition and
gives little evidence OF the age and
wear and tear undergone. She has been
owned and operated by Captain Magee
for the past n years and was u years
old when he purchased her In 1891
she was rebuilt and renamed. but the

The Amethyst, or McFadden. has
had an interesting career. wcathering
many storms and narrowly escaping
many accidents. Captain Magee de-
clares she is one of the most sea-
worthy tugs on the lakes. having been
modelled after the Evanston with a low
rail permitting the seas to run off
without doing damage. In November
1879, the McFadden was wrecked on
the shore OF Beaver Bay when en-
deavoring to tow the disabled tug
Siskiwit to Duluth for repairs. Al
though the shore is almost contin-

A THRIFTY PEOPLE.

In view of the steady increase in
savings deposits in the United States
il seems reasonable to expect that the
nation will some day be as noted for
its thrift and saving disposition as
France now is, though this is not to
say that extravaganza and reckless eX-
penditure will not always be too much
i'm evidence while statistics are not
available TO sustain the assertion, 1t Is
probably true that the steady increase
i'm the total savings of the country
also represents an average increase of
each depositors account. In Illinois,
for example. a report compiled by the
state auditor from the reports of saw
ings banks shows an average OF $7.O9
increase due each dcpositor I'm the last
year. The total of time savings depos-
It's in Illinois as compared with year
ago shows an increase of approximate
~ $4,000, 900. two-fifths of which is
outside of Chicago. In the last twelve
months there has been big gain in
the savings depositors Of the state. In
New York state there has been very
steady increase in savings deposits
year after year since 1894. each total
showing a gain over the preceding one
with one exception, 1905, due to the
panic of the previous fall. I'm 1894 the
savings deposits in New York state
amounted to S631 100000, on which the
interest account was $23,S90,0O0. ON
July Of 1911 the savings deposits o.
the state amounted to over billion
and a half dollars-Si. 594, 224,OO0 to be
oxact--on which s55,6i3,OOO interest
was paid.
