GREAT TOLL TAKEN
BY MINING INDUSTRY
One Life Snuffed Out for Every
183.000 Tons of Coal
Mined.
DECREASE IN MORTALITY
Attributed by Director Holmes
to Government's Work
in Field.
Washington. January H.?One min?
ers life 1* snuffed out with every IS,000
ton? of coal mined in the I'nited State*
In 1907. when the Federal Bureau of
Mines was beginning its work, the
ratio was greater. One life was given
with everv 144.000 ton?. Ur Joseph A
Holmes, director of the Cnited H'atrs
Bureau of Mines, in his annual report
to-day to Secretary Fisher, attri
butee the decrease In the mortality ?o
the Federal government's work in the
mining fields, and points out how the
enormous death list may be still
further redu <-,l
While much remains to be done in?
cluding a broad extension of the Inves?
tigation of accident and rescue work, so
that it will include metal and other
mineral mine*, as well as coal mines.
Or Holme? ahows that, whereas there
wax an average of 1*3 men killed for
every 1 noo 000 ions of coal mined in
1S07. this number decreased ateadiiv
to ** m IS*, to 5 79 the next year. S tsi
in 1*10. and i 48 in the calendar year 1911.
The figures for the year Just closed, it
is estimated, will show further decrease
in the death rate.
The death rate in tbe metal mines
of the country Is nearly as high, he de
elaree. as in the coal fields, averaging
more than three men per thousand em?
ployed : the dea'h rate In the quarrte?
is larger than it should be. averaging
far more than that in foreign nuame*.
and tbe same is true in metallurgical
plants. lie recommends, therefore,
that the bureau be given money to
carry its mine-accident investigation
info these other fields In larger meas?
ure tban the limited appropriations so
fur granted have allowed.

mentioned by Dr. Holm?. This eztrsva
gsncc or natural resources, he assert*, should

Pioneer educational work, temporary in
I'baraeter. is the- way In which the director
refers to the mine rescue and fir?t aid work
among the more than 700.(CO miners in tbe 15.000
mines of the country. Ultimately this must
! be taken care of. he says, by the coal mining
I companies through the training and orrani
ratlon of miner* at each of the larger mines
or groups of mines. He states tbat already
a number of companies maintain reseue sta?
tions at their own expense. Tbe chief pur?
pose of tbe bureau of mines is to train annrrs
in first-aid. mine-rescue and ilre-figbting meth?
ods and he adds that ' during the yrai more
than 30.uon miners have attended the lectures
and demonstration given from tbe mine
safety cars; more iban i 000 additional miners
received training sufflrient to enable them to
participate in actual mine-rescue work, and
more than twice that number have been
added to the list of miners trained in first-aid
practice ''
Health condition' in and about mines
should be Investigated, in the opinion of Dr.
Holmes Preliminary Inquiries, he say?. "have
Indicated tbe prevalence of tuberculosis and
tbe presence of hookworm as miners' diseases
m several different localities in the I'nited
States. It is Important that this work should
be extended rapidly, because of tbe fact that
the health conditions, as well as the risk of
accidents, may be influenced by conditions
susceptible of easy improvement.
Tbe large and continuous Influx of for?
eigners into tbe mining regions of tbe I'nited
States may bring to an Increasing extent the
bookworm and other diseases that exist in
mines in parrs of certain European countries
\ arlous question- tbat concern the health <>f
workers in mines, quarries and metallurgy
plants cannot be answered Anally without
inv-tifations and inquiries tbat are national
in scope. Among such questions are the
most efficient methods of prevenlinx the dis?
eases peculiar to mining and metallurgical in?
dustries, and tbe most effective sanitary pre?
cautions to he observed in and about mines
and in the various metallurgical occupations
Kraefit* Derived.
Kspecial attention is caled t? some of tbe
benefits d rived both by Ibe government and
individuals, from ibe bureau s fuel investiga?
tions A saving of money and the delivery
of better grade coal than would have beea
obtained otherwise. are mentioned in this
connection. More tbaa K worth of
coal is l-ougbi annually by tbe government
under specifications prepared by tbe Bureau
of Mines, and additional fuel to the value cf
p.V.wo is bought by if under the general
advice of tbe bureau. The benefits have been
both grneral and special, the real saving
being several time as great as the actual
money saved because of tbe securing of a
? better coal
During the year every alnr In the I'nited

Petersburg. Va . January 14.
The report of President Hatcher S.
Seward. submitted to the Chamber of
Commerce at-tbe annual meeting held
to-night in the A P Hill Camp Hall,
embraces a very full and comprehensive
review of the work of the chamber
during the past year. The report opens
with a statement of the efforts made
by the chamber to prevent the pro?
posed l cnr-olida*ion of the Petersburg
customs district with Richmond, with
a sub-poet in charge of a deputy at
Petersburg, and of the correspondence
with Senators Martin and Swanson .
and the Treasury Department on the
subject No definite decision has
been reached in the matter. Should
the consolidation be made, there is
good reason to believe that the
administration of the customs service
at this port will be fully as efficient and
satisfactory to the public as it la at the i
present time.
The report referred to the very '
friendly relations of the chamber with
the various transportation companies
entering the city.
The report refers to the various con
ferences attended bv officers of the
chamber with representatives of the
city, the national government and
the \-.irf.?:k and Western Railway,
relative to the improvement of the
Appomattos River and of the streets
adjacent, with tbe view of adopting |
n'eans for control and prevention of
flood damage. The result of these con- ,
ferences Indicates that the final solution
of the flood problem is at hand. Con- ,
servattve estimates of business in
Petersburg show justifying increases
in almost all Itnea during the pest year, i

? manufactured in and exported directly
from Petersburg. Another notable de?
velopment of the year, which will re
: suit in great benefit to this city, is the
establishment of the Du Pont plant
1 in Prince Oeorge County, for the man?
ufacture of dynamite and smokeless
powder.
Various other matters of interest
