NINE FATALITIES
DURING LAST YEAR

The best safety record in the his
tory of iron ore mining in st. Louis
county was made during 1928 the re-
port of Ed Smith of Eveleth, county
mine inspector, made public Mon
day, reveals. The report, to be sub
mitted to the board Of county COM
missioners. shows that there were
only nine fatalities during the year,
thirteen less than in 1897, and six
less than in 1916, the best previous
safety record in the industry.
Mr.. Smith credits the fine record to
the captains, foremen and men in the
industry who through untiring eff
forts and sincere purpose Of mine
MANAGEMENT have done everything
possible to prevent accidents"
Other figures revealed by the report
show that out of total OF 1S6 mines
in the county, fifty-nine are being
operated and 126 dormant. The men
employed in the industry total 8.o22
and the total shipments OF ore during
1923 were %, 704,744 tons.
Mr.. Smiths report, in part, follows:
In submitting my report for the
year 1923 it gives sincere satisfaction
to record that 1923 stands out as
record breaker for the conservation Of
life in the industry with which our
department has to do.
Mine fatalities are recorded" the
lowest in point OF number by SIX
compared with any previous year in
the history of this department. Fewer
by thirteen when the previous year
is considered For 1923, fatal accidents
show liz per 1000 men employed.
The best previous record was made
in 1916 when loss of life per 1000
men was 152. In giving credit, where
credit is due, for this startling record,
I think our qualification should be
expressed for the fine cooperation of
captains, foremen and men through
out the industry for their untiring
efforts in carrying out the sincere
purpose of mine arrangements, to do
everything possible to prevent acct
dents"
