BETTER MINE CONDITIONS.
Reports Show Loss Of Life 10 Less
In Last Year Than Formerly.

Denver-A human life was lost in
Colorado's mines for every $4,000
tons of coal mined last year. A pen
atty of ninety-one lives was paid for
the 1o,157,3s3 tons of coal produced
by the mines in 1911
In the first eight months Of 1912
practically the same ratio held good,
for sixty-four men met death In the
industry of coal mining in this state
up to September I, 1912.
Both years show great reduction
in the lives lost from 1910. however
for in that year terrible disasters in
the Trinidad and Louisville fields
brought the total OF miners deaths
, up to 323. or one for each $1,000 tons
of coal produced. This was the high
est average Of deaths in comparison
with tonnage in tho nation tn that
year-1910.
1t was partly on account Of this
disastrous showing that the federal
bureau of mines was impelled TO send
two of its mine safety cars to Colo
rado. Every effort has been made By
the government to improve conditions
and discipline in Colorado's coal
mines.
