COAL MINE CASUALITIES
IN SEVEN YEARS 22X0 VICTIMS
(N THIS COUNTRY.
T> • Percentage of Killed i* Three
Time* ae Large »m Th#f in (r«irnne»n
Countries—A* Many During La*t
Six Year* a* In the Preceding Elev-
en Years—Statietice.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—The
eoa! mines of the United States are
killing three times' as many men per
1,000 employed as those of most
European countries. In the last seven
years 22,840 men have given up their
lives in the mines In this country.
As many violent death* have occur-
red in the mine* during the last six
yearH as during the preceding eleven
years. The number of fatal accidents
each year is now double that of the
year 1895. In 1906, 6,861 men were
killed or injured in the mines, the
dead numbering 2,061, and the injured
4,800.
These terrible facts have been glean-
ed by government ekperts acting un-
der orders from Secretary Garfield of
the interior department to investigate
the nature and cause of disasters,
those resulting from explosions and
also to make suggestions as to how
mining conditions may be improved
and accidents prevented.
George Otis Smith, director of the
geological survey, through explosive
experts made a number of examina-
tions of the more dangerous coal
mines of lndlanfjTerrltory.
The coal mines of the United States
are killing three times in addition to
nature and causes of a number of dis-
astrous coal mine explosions in sev-
eral of the states were made. The
conclusions of the experts are found
in a bulletin Issued today on coal
mine accidents, their causes and pre
vention. The statement in the bulle-
tin that an increase in the number arid
in the seriousness of mine explosions
may be expected to continue, has al-
ready proven fateful, for since the
words were written the country has
been startled with the news of three
mine explosions, costing nearly 500
lives.
The first explosion occurred in
Pennsylvania in the early part of De-
cember and cost 321 lives; then fol
lowed the Monongah mine disaster,
in West Virginia, with a Iosr oi nearly
four hundred lives, and the explosion
In Alabama the other (lay with sixty-
one lives lost.
Summing up the situation, the bulie-.
tin says;
"It is indicated that this increase in
the loss of life has been in part due to
the lack of proper and enforceable
mine regulations, in part to the lack
of reliable Information concerning the
explosives used in mining, and the
conditions under which they can be
used safely in^the presence of gas and
dust encountered in the mines; and
in part to the fact that in the devel-
opment of coal mining not only is the
number of miners increasing, but
many mines from which coal is being
taken are either deeper or fartner
from the entrance, where good ventila-
tion is more difficult and tne danger-
ous accumulations of explosive gas
more frequent,
“The increase both in the number
and seriousness of mine explosions
during the past few years may be ex-
pected to increase unless thorough in-
vestigations sue-i as have proved ef-
fective In other coal producing conn-
tries. information can be obtained and
published concerning the explosives
used, the conditions under which they
may be used safely, and- the general
conditions which make for health and
safety. Such information may serve
as an Intelligent basis for legislative
enactment and for ngrpements among
persons associated with mining oper-
ations"
Tlie bulletin shows that in all Eu-
ropean countries where coal is pro-
duced the output of coal has increas-
ed greatly during the last ten years,
but the number of deaths per one
thousand miners instead of Increasing
as in this country, has undergone a
marked decrease. The decrease has
been due, the bulletin says, to the ef-
fect of mining legislation on those
countries for the safeguarding and
protection of the lives of the workmen.
Birmingham. Ala., Dec. 18.—Thit
teen bodies have been taken from the
stope at the ill-fated Yolande mine to-
day. bringing the total death list irom
Monday’s explosion to 61. An official
inspection will lie made.

Playgoers will enjoy a genuine treat
in the engagement of Raffles, the
Amateur Cracksman." which will take
place at the Crawford theater next
Sunday and Monday. S. Miller Kent
is the star of "Raffles." The fame of
this play has preceded it here, because
E. W. Hormtng’s stories, front which
the drama has been made, have been
widely read, and because it is well
known that this was the only drama
to remain in New York 200 nights
season before last. Much of the great
success of ‘Raffles’' is due to the orig-
inal character of the play, and more
to the excellence of the players. The
promise is made that in "Raffles”
something entirely new in theatrical
entertainment, will be shown.
