Metal Mining Investigations.

The department has endeavored to
carry out the evident Intent Of congress
that this work ir relation 10 coal mine
disasters should first be we'll organized; !;
such other limited tcchnologlc investiga-
lions as came over from the geological
survey or were incidental TO the mine
safety work. Meanwhile, the need OF in
Nestlsations relative to safety and eff
Client development In behalf Of tho metal
mining industries is now fully recognized,
and ] feel sure these needs will be pro-
vided for by congress without further de-
lay.
The serious need for Inquiries and In
vcstlgstions I'm behalf of the metal min
Ing industries Is shown by the fact that
III many parts of the west their progress
has not kept pace with agriculture which
has been so largely stimulated by the
governmental researches. Meanwhile the
mining journals have been discuss ing
the causes OF paralysis" In western min
ing camps; and the loss OF life in the
metal mines during the past several
wears has been proportionately almost as
large. and In many metal mining regions
larger. than In the coal mines of the
country.
Another condition which has proved q
sourceso OF widespread criticism and en-
bsrrassment 10 the bureau OF mines Is
the fact that while the demands upon n
rom all parts Of the country for infoims
ton concerning all branches of tho min
ing industry-demands coming from ths
mine workers evcn more than from those
interested In the ownership or operation
Of tho mines-llave increased rapkl,
and largely. the appropriations available
for actual investigation. instead OF in
creaslnS. are In reality smaller than were
the appropriations for Investigations un.
der the technologic branch OF the geo
logical survey four years ago.

Bureau Criticised.

This department and the bureau Of
mines have been criticised frequently be-
GAUGE of the seeming neglect OF the met
al-miDing industry. And this criticism
has been strengthened by the fact that
Tor many years prior TO the creation OF
the bureau The demand for federal recos-
milton and aid for the mining industry
came mainly from the western metal
mining states. But this delay in under
taking needed Investigations In behalf of
the metal-mUing industry does not ap-
pear To indicate a lack of Interest or ia
vorable Intent In the matter with either
this department or with congress.
IN establishing the bureau OF mines,
congress transferred to II the then eX-
fsting appropriation of 100000 for in
vesiieatlon OF fuels belonging to or for
the use OF tie government. and. with
videned scope, the appropriation of $780,
200 for the investiga tion Of mine expIo-
sions; and II increased this latter appro-
pris.tion to 100000, with the evident IN
tent that the s16C,0O0 added should be
used mainly, II not exclusively, for the
establishment and maintenance OF the
much ueAded rescue work In connection
with the coal mine disasters.

The bureau Of mines has not yet been
able to undertake any extensive inquiries
or investigations IN connection with the

nave been limited TO the following:
ID Two mjne-rescue cars engaged In
demonstrating mine-rescue and first laid

incidentally given safety and first-aid
demonstrations at q few OF The larger
metal-nining camps of that region, 1t
has not been possible. however, to fol-
low up these demonstrations by giving to
the miners the training necessary for a.
continuance OF the work, nor are the men
with the cars familiar with metal-mining
methods, nor has all the equipment OF
the cars been especially adapted to metal
mining conditions.
