 Compared with last year, 16 fatal accidents were recorded in l2 months, while in the year previous 22 deaths were due to mine acci- dents MT Allen says initial CT it Is due the mine operators for keep ing their properties safe; next come the miners themselves who have as stunned their part of the responsible ity by keeping their individual working place safe Safety-first campaigns also have had much to do in keeping everyone alert.
 The record in surface metal mining has not been so good, there having been three fatalities, as compared with eight for the entire year of 1918. and four for the whole year of 1917.
