Coal Mine Fatalities Decrease.

The number Of fatal accidents in
the coal mines of Colorado during the

was almost so per cent less than in
the same period during 1915. accord
ing to James Dalrymple. state coal
mine inspector. In the first four
months of 1915 there were twenty
three men killed in the mines. In the
same period this year there were
twelve killed. This decrease in the
number of fatalities was accom-
plished despite the fact that the total
coal production for the period in
creased more than 100000 tons. The
fact that last years fatality record
was smaller than the one in 1914
shows a steady increase in the safety
of the mines, due to better co-opera.
