COUNTY MINES
FINE RECORD.
INSPECTOR SMITH COMMENDS
COMPANIES ON FINE
SHOWING.

Mining Inspector Ed. Smith of
Eveleith has made his report to the
County Commissioners in which he
commends the mining companies of
st. Louis County on the safety
measures taken. In the report he
says:
II herewith submit for your APP
prevail, my annual report of mine
Inspector for st. Louis county, Min
nesota for the year 1925. The in
tensive campaign started in June
1922 by the mining companies of
our county has continued through
out the past twelve month period
with gratifying results. We have
very great reason to congratulate
all who are interesting themselves
in the work of reducing suffering
due to accidental injuries on ac-
count of a lesser number of fatal
tiles compared with the previous
twelve months. Our report will
show a decrease of three in fatal
accidents. This, in the face of an
increase of ,6,268,804 tons of ore
handled and decreased to LIT kill
ed per 1000 men employed in these
operations.
another feature which has also
been of great benefit in the work
of safeguarding our miners and
not previously stressed, is the inter-
est shown and effort put forth by
the several companies in training
men for first aid and mine rescue
work. This feature has been given
a decided impetus by intemgent in
struction through the U. S. Bureau
of Mines under the supervision of
Mr.. F. C. Gregory, district engineer.
His organization has trained during
1925, 17S range miners in first aid
and 40 in mine rescue work. The
experience the men gain from this
instruction is very beneficial, not
only in tending to prevent trivial
injuries becoming more serious, but
also in helping to prevent possible
accidents.
ssThe matter of stray currents
from electrical leaks is another mat
ter that has occupied the attention
during the year of the operators
and those interested in safeguard
ing the men. Many of the mines
are forestalling this hazard by g
careful bonding and grounding OF
all underground tracks and pipe
lines, with frequent follow-up tests
to determine the presence of such
leaks"

an encore was out of the question.
Miss Laura d. Uhler, of the rae
ulty, paid a very neat tribute to
Washington and Lincoln in which
she criticized Rupert Hughes re-
cent talk on Washington in which
she measured Washington in the
1926 standard AMI not the standard
of his time. Miss Uhler's hnndling
of the subject showed a keen study
and coupled with her excellent and
free delivery, proved the high light
of the program.
The evening was enjoyed and
hope was expressed that more of a
similar nature would follow.

game, the hockey management will
insist that the 100000 ventilating
system installed in the skating
rink be placed in operation during
the game played at Hibbing on the
18th. The ventilating system was
installed to dissipate the warm air
collected during a game in the rink
and to prevent the air from reach
ing the roof and causing the roof to
thaw, dropping water upon the ice
and the spectators. The system has
not been used at any of the games
thus far, but if used will go long
ways in preventing ice to drop
from above onto the ice or seating
accommodations. The George Wash

DROVE 100000 MILES.

A thirteen-year-old Chevrolet has
been driven more than 100000 miles
by A. r. NJ. Stone, stationery broker
of 6135 Wagner Avenue, st. Louis.
Mo-. who believes his machine is the
oldest Chevrolet still in active SER
vice. The mileage represents more
than 10 trips around the world.
Mr.. Stone. a former locomotive
engineer, purchased the car in 1913,
the first year of Chevrolet produc-
ton. The loss Of leg had incapi-
tated him for railroad work. In or
der to operate both the clutch and
brake pedals with his one foot he
connected them with cross bar.
This enabled him to throw out the
clutch and apply the brakes in one
operation. He drives from so to 10
miles daily within radius of 40
miles of st. Louis.
Mr.. Stone says he has replaced the
car top and in addition has spent only
81 for replacement of parts. The
Chevrolet has averaged 25 miles per
gallon. he says. The car thus far
has burned about 10.400 gallons of
gasoline or approximately the capac-
itv of two railroad tank cars.
