LOSS 0F LIFE
 IN G0A- MANNING

! Washington, Jan. 2S-Every hun ! dred million short tons of coal produced in the United states in tl9l2 cost 429 lives in mine acci- Idents, pr a total of 2,&6O lives, i for a production of 550,OOO,O short tous of coal, according to report just issued by the Bureau 1 of Mines, Department Of the Inter for. This loss of life in propor-
 ton to the number Of millions of
 tons mined, 4.29 per cent, is the
 smallest in the records available at
 the bureau. In 1907 it scaredom
 the bureau. In 1907 it scared to ! 6:93 per cent.
 The actual number of lives lost in 1912 was less than in any pre-
 yious year since 1896, when 2,ll6
 men lost their lives in and around
 coal mines. In 1907, tho number of 1 deaths reached 8,l97. Yet, with smaller loss of life, the production
 of coal in 1912 was the greatest ! iu the cyUutry's history.
 In figuring deaths, the bureau 1 counts g man who dies within IS months of the time of the accident
 as having been fatally hurt which makes the figures for 1912 ! a little incomplete. For each 1000 ue- engaged in mining, 2515 were killed in 1912, and this is the low est proportion since 1899, when 8.0T men were killed out of each thousand.
 This general Improvement says the report. has been brought abogt by & combination of causes,
 the principal one of which has been mole efficient and effective mine Inspection or btc part of the state mining departments and state mine | inspectors throughout the country supplemented by greater care on the part of both thc operators and the miners.
 ''Ihe Investigation and education al work Of the Bureau oi Mines has kept both the operator and
 the miner alive to the various dan gers connected wiJh ccaI mining and hes shown what precautions should be taken to avoid these dan gers"
 The report declares, however, that 8 still greater decrease in the number of killed and injured, if . proper care will be exercised by op- orators, aupcrinloudeuts and by che miners themselves, will result.

SITUATION GRAVE ON
 THE MEXICAN BORDER
BRtG.GEN. TASkER H. BLISS OR DERED TO NACO TO PROTECT
 AMERICAN INTERESTS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Pre Wilson, af- ter brief discussion with his cabi- net, Tuesday directed Secretary Gar rison to order sufficient troops to Ma co, AriZ., to handle any emergencies that might arise Tn connection with the firing across the American border from Mexican territory.
 Secretary Garrison later announced that he had ordered Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss to start for Naco with three batteries of field artillery and await further orders"
 This action followed the exchange of telegrams between the federal govern ment and Governor Hunt of Arizona, in which the latter described the fir ing from the Mexican factions across the line as a serious menace 10 resi- dents of Arizona
 It is said President Wilson directed Secretary Bryan to transmit warn ing through American consuls to both Mexican factions fighting near the boundary that firing into American territory must be discontinued.
 The forces of Gen. Benjamin Hill, loyal to Carranza, are ranged close to the line, while those of Governor May torena, supposed to be a follower of General Villa. but often reported as independent of his authority, consti- ute the attacking forces.
 Repeated warnings have been given to he two generals to so conduct their operations as to prevent bullets from falling on American territory.
 The sending of General Bliss to take charge of the situation is regard ed here as denoting the anticipation of 8 delicate and critical situation.
 While General Bliss would not dis cuss the situation, officers at Fort sam Houston thoroughly familiar with con ditions along the border, declare the situation never looked more desperate for American intervention or Amert. can invasion.
