MORTALITY AMONG
MINERS SDECREASES
Associated Press.

Associated Press
Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 15.-One
miners life is snuffed out with ev-
cry $4,000 tons of coal mined in the
United States. In 1907 when the
federal bureau of mines was begin
ming its work the ratio was greater.
One life was given with every 144,-
600 ions. DR.. Joseph A. Holmes,
director of the United States bureau
of Mines, in his annual report to-
day to Secretary Fisher, attributes
the decrease in the mortality to the
federal's governments work in the
mining fields. and points out how
the enormous death list may be still
further reduced.
while much remains to be done.
including a broad extension of the
investigation OF accident and rescue
work so that it will include metal
and other mineral mines as well as
coal mines Dr. Holmes shows that
whereas there WAS an average Of
6.93 men killed for every 900, 900
tons of ccal mined in 1907, this num-
her decreased steadily to COS in
1908. TO 5.79 the next year. 5.666
in 1910 and 5.4S in the calendar
year 1911. The figures for the year
Just closed, it is estimated, will show
further decrease in the death rate.
The death rate in the metal mines
of the country is nearly as high, he
declares. as in the coal fields, aver
aging more than three men per thou
sand employed; the death date in the
quarters is larger than ii should be,
averaging far more than that in for
eign quarries; and the same is true
in metallurigcal plants. He recon-
mends, therefore. that the bureau
be given money to carry its mine
accident investigation into these 9TH
er fields in larger measure than the
limited appropriations SO far granted
have allowed
The enormous annual loss in min
ing and preparing coal for market.
the huge waste of natural gas, as
well as lack of efficiency and waste
in the metal mining industries are
mentioned by DR.. Holmes. This ex-
travagance of natural resources, he
asserts, should be checked.
