The Wyoming Mine Disaster.

An unusual feature Of the mine ex-
plosion In Wyoming, which will cost
| the lives of several score of men, lies
in the great depth Of the working.
| Though this is a colliery, It extends
| for many hundreds of feet beneath
F., the surface. Most coal mines of the
| east and the central section Of the
country are shallow, the headings
! being only short distance below
ground. The explosion in the Wyom-
| ing mine occurred on the 1,700-foot
| level, SO far below the surface that
the sound Of it was not heard above.
| This great depth Of the disaster made
| rescue work difficult, and added to the
| horror Of the catastrophe.
Mine explosions have become less
; frequent in recent years, and the
death toll has been greatly reduced
| through the adoption Of better methods
and more strict regulations. Although
a large percentage of the mine opera
tives are aliens and of low intelli-
gence, the rules Of safety have been
effectively taught to them, and there
| is a much greater degree Of observ-
ance than in the past.
Practically every mine explosion is
! the result of some degree of inatten-
ton and carelessness. Ventilation
processes are perhaps allowed to
! slacken, and gas accumulates in con-
sequence; naked lights are carried
| into gaseous pockets and headings:
workmen light matches in order to
| smoke in violation Of rules: spark
making tools and appliances are used
| in the presence of combustible vapors;
| "shots" are fired without full precau-
ton against ignition of gas in the
chambers; rock falls result from made
quate timbering or slack inspection.
These are some of the immediate
causes Of mine disasters, and in al
most all cases there Is human fault at
the root Of them. Now 1t is the fault
of the management, again the fault OF
| the operative. The percentage of un-
, avoidable disaster underground is rela-
lively slight now with all the facilities
and means available for keeping mines
free of damp" and lessening the
chance of detonation and crumbling
walls Mining. in short, has become an
infinitely less dangerous pursuit than
even twenty years ago. The hope Is
that every one Of these unfortunately
recurring underground accidents will
teach its lesson to reduce still further
the toll of life taken in the production
Of mineral necessities.

shining efficiency records by energy
and action. Such an old and faithful
empioye ought not to be carelessly set
aside because a younger man excels
him in the efficiency Of action.
1t used to be a common saying that
"a corporation has no SOUL" OF course,
that was literally true, but 1t Is now
the general policy of a great number
of corporations to do very handsome
and considerate things for the men
and women who work for them. The
spirit of good will and benevolence on
the part Of corporations toward their
men Is extending, and this is now
called good business. Really it seems
to many persons that the general run
Of corporations are showing more con-
sideration for their employees and more
regard for their welfare and happiness
than the government shows its en-
ployes. There seems to be a disposi-
ton on the part Of the government,
especially, let one say, the national
government, to treat employees some
what after the fashion in which many
corporations dealt with their hands"
a generation or SO ago. There is a
good deal of talk about the govern
ment putting business policies" into
effect, but it seems sometimes seeking
to put into effect ways which were
considered business policies quarter
of century ago, and which have been
discarded by the highest grade OF busi-
ness men.
