Injured Miners Doing Nicely.

Charleston is trouble ahead
for mine officials who show disre-
gard for the mining laws of the state
and Inc rules. and regulations laid
down by the state department OF
mines. A fragrant violation has just
been reported to the department and
has resulted in a circular letter being
sent out to the district inspectors, call
ing upon them for careful surveil
lance and a strict enforcement Of the
law no matter whom it affects
Superintendent VIM. Brabban, Of
the Price Hill Colliery Co.'S mine, on
New river, has been found guilty Of
permitting men to enter the mine be-
fore an examination had been made
for dangerous gases. No accident fol-
lowed, but Brabban, who stands high
among the officials of the New River
Co. and subsidiaries, was assessed a
fine of $50, the commission issued him
by the state department revoked and
his removal as superintendent de-
manded.

IN the circular letter Delng sent out
the district inspectors are ordered. to
prefer charges against mine officials
for every violation of the law. IF
mine officials persist in violating the
law we will have some of them in the
penitentiary,' said Chief Laing.
Somewhat of new departure re-
Gently begun in the department is
having the Inspector in whose district
one Of the miners hospitals Is located
visit the institutions every month.
Inspector Frank e. Parsons has just
forwarded his last report on No. 8 at
Fairmont.i He reports finding 36 in
jured miners, all satisfied and getting
along nicely, expecting to recover.
Had the legislative finance commit

every mine inspector would have been
equipped with an oxygen apparatus
for use in mine fires and explosions.
Three Draeger oxygen outfits have
been purchased and are kept at the
chiefs office, and the only appropria-
ton allowed by the legislature was
an item of 1901 to pay for these three.
The outfits are similar to those carried
by the government rescue car and
were recently used successfully in ex-
tinguishing fire in the Paint Greek
mines.

Tax Collections.
The sum OF $23,617.lI has been col
lected by the tax department as inheri
lance taxes during the month of Feb
ruary, which is approximately one-hali
ais much as was collected tn the seven
teen years before the collection of this
tax was placed in the hands Of the tax
commissioner. And had the tax com
missioner's Office been abolished the
amount of inheritance taxes collected
hereafter would have been on a pal
with what was done under the old sys
tenn. The largest amount collected
during the month came from the es
tate of George Miller, of Huntington
which paid nearly $4,000, while the
next largest was from the estate OF
Mary r.. Golf, of Clarksburg, whose
executor paid total of $7,80S.36.
The amount collected for inheritance
taxes during the month of February
aggregated almost as much as was
appropriated by the legislature for the
conduct of the tax department and the
uniform accounting system combined
for the year 1911. The amount for the
two was S26,0D0. reduction Of $4,000
ever the amount appropriated two
years ago.
