In response to the senate resolu-
ton of March rs. 1912. asking for
information with respect to the op-
erations in the bureau OF mines in
the western states, Walter l.. Fisher,
secretary of the interior, has just
sent TO the senate statement of
the work of the bureau, Of which
the following is an excerpt.
The bureau of mines has not yet
been able to undertake any extern
sive inquiries or investigations in
connection with the metal-mining
industries OF the public land states
It's activities in these states have
been limited to the following
90 Two mine-reseue cars en-
gagged in demonstrating mine-rescue
and first-aid methods at coal mines
Ct the Rocky mountain and Wash
/ ington coal fields have incidentally
given safety and first-aid demon
strations at few of the larger
matchmaking camps of that region.
1t has not been possible. however
TO follow up these demonstrations
4 by giving to the miners the training
necessary for 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.
Smelter Fume Matter
| (2) In cooperation with the lie
lartment of justice, limited in
vestigation has been undertaken
concerning the conditions unde
which smeltery fumes are given Ct
in few of the western states wher
government property was reporte
as being injured or destroyed.
90 The bureau has inaugurate
an inquiry concerning methods an
safety appliances used in driyin
tunnels, in which kind of work
number OF lives have been lost, an
lconcerning mineral waste and acc
dents in lead mines, and an inquir
has been made concerning the ma
tnre and extent of metal-mining az
cidents. But this work has bee
preliminary in character and limi
ed in extent
ca The cooperation with til
public health and marine hospiti
service the bureau of mines h;
made preliminary examination
the larger metal-mining camps
Colorado and the conditions produ
ing lung trouble among the miner
and has found in several such caml
conditions seriously in need of il
; provement.
90 Through the aid of a col
e mittee of eminent mining enginee
an effort has been made to bril-
together a digest of existing LAY
and regulations relative to safe
d in metal-mining operations.

J. auently because of the seeming +

And this criticism has been strengt

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him IN touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away. summarizing at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. he IS free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
