Operation of Government Coal Mine.
A.recent bulletin issued by the recla-
nation service tells about the opera
ton of the government coal mine run
in connection with the reclamation
project at Williston, y. d. This project
required the pumping of water by
steam power, and the engineers dis
covered valuable beds of Ignite coal
in the vicinity. The mine began as
small venture. but now it is operated
the year round, employing from IL to
Is miners and turning out 5000 tons
OF coal annually at a cost of S1.1S per
ton.
Uncle Sam has taken to heart the
prea chments of his own bureau OF
mines, and consequently in the govern
ment mine great care is taken or the
lives of the workers. In the six years
of operation OF this mine no fatal acct
dent has occurred. One miner was In
jured by a premature explosion which
caused coal to fall upon him. This
miner had been earning S4.72 day,
and under the terms of the compensa-
ton act for government employees, he
was paid this wage during the time he
was laid up with broken leg.
The quarters for the miners are fit
ted up with every sanitary convent
ence. The bath room has individual
lockers and hot and cold shower
baths. At the mess the miner can get
wholesome food at % cents per meal.
and free sleeping quarters are pro-
vided. The men earn from $3.50 to So
per day for eight hours work.
