safety First Movement Over
looks the Hoist EnQinccr.

The following article taken from
the Engineering and Mining Journal,
by Harry E. Scott, whom many will
remember, will be read with interest
on account Of it's local color.
''In the last few years much has
been done in the name of safety first.
The Bureau Of Mines has circulated
many bulletins; mining and scien-
tific journals have published articles
covering almost every stage of the
game; nearly all themining compan-
les have taken up the work, with
wonderful results in lowering the
percentage of accidents; but there
is one that has been overlooked by
almost all Of them, and that Is the
hoist engineer. Many accidents are
caused by the carelessness of the en-
gineer that could have been avoided
by taking the proper precautions.
The men on the larger hoists have
obtained their experience and have
been tried out on small hoists,
and as a rule can be relied on to
keep their heads in case of an emer-
gency.
On the small hoist the engineer
is often a young fellow who has TAX

then a postgraduate course in dump
