Conditions in
Mining Industry
Are Encouraging

Based or. an increased number of
mines and large gains in production.
promising outlook for the Ignite
mining industry in North Dakota is
seen by Albert Waddington of viii
ton, state coal mine inspector, in his
eighth. annual report to Gov. A. G..
S0rlic
General conditions in the Ignite
mining Industry for the past year
have been good and the outlook for
the coming year is most encourage
ing: he says. "Quite a number Of
small mines have gone out of bust
ness, while new ones have taken
their places. This is a condition we
find each year, farmers being in the
habit OF opening small strip miaes
when crops are Short"
Operating conditions were found
generally satisfactory by Mr.. Wad-
dington in his inspections. But one
mine, in MOuntrail county, was con-
demned, and only five mine fires
were reported during the yea.
Ward county leads in the number
OF mines with SO. There are 30 in
Williams county and % in Mclean.
Twenty counties have I'm ines in oper-
alton, During 1926, So new mines
were opened and IS were reported
either closed or not operating.
The inspector made but one eau
ton in his report, stating that due
to the entire absence Of explosive
gases, which would require an abund-
ant supply of good air, ventilation
has been somewhat neglected and,
the air furnished often is not suf-
ticient. Poor ventilation causes a
non-explosive gas, commonly called
black damp by miners, which tends
to reduce the efficiency Of the men
in the Mines"
