the climate so agreeable that he decided to make that city his home.
 Throughout those years he kept up his interest in aeronauticS and in 1902 became the first American in France to take up ballooning as a sport. Two years later when the French Aero Club was organized he owned his balloon and qualified for membership by virtue of l3 ascensions, including night flights and solo flights.

MINES SET NEW SAFETY RECORD
 FOR PAST YEAR
Only Five Fatalities Report
 ed in All Alaska Mines, Stewart Says <

1 Alaska's mining industry in 1881 set a new record for safety, it was disclosed here today by B. D. Stewart, Acting Territorial Mining Engineer who has been in charg Of that work in the Territory since 1922 Thsr9 were only five fatali- ties in 1881, two less than in 1880, he said
 While complete records of non- fatal accidents are not available yet, reports so far received by MT. Stewards office indicate there will be material reduction in that class of mishaps, he said.
 The record for 1881 is but slight ly more than one-half of the ten year average, which is nine. Prior to 1922, the annual average cover ing a seven-year period was l9. In that period, however, there were considerably more men engaged in mining, particularly lode, than in the succeeding years.
 The decrease in all kinds or mine accidents this year is very gratifying MT. Stewart said. Ut is due directly to the increase in interest among mining operators in safety methods, and all of the companies that employ large num- bers of men have instituted aggres- sive safety first campaigns that have borne excellent fruit"
 There has been marked de- crease not only in Alaska but throughout the country in mining accidents in the past two years, he added. One of the most Strik- : ing examples of what has been done is furnished by the Phelps Dodge Corporation, one of the largest operators in the nation. In 1 two years it has reduced it's fatal ity list by 90 per cent.
 All of the fatalities occurring in 1881 were in the lode mining in dustry-one at Kennecott and five at the Alaska Juneau. Not a death was reported in placer mines or in the coal mining operations.
