SOME IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS An Interesting Case Gitod by Mino Inspector Stein Mine Inspootor Gay on tho Con dition of Collieries. The reports of the Pennsylvania mine Inspectors contain eomo Important facts and eugges Ions regard! g the operation of m nes a d tho conduct of men employed in them. M ne Inspector William Stein, of this (tho Fifth anthracite) district, tells a tale of depravity amongst ooal miners which ne fool bound to reproduce, lie says: "I will horo give onn experience of the law being violated, which was brought to my notice a short time ago. I learned that sotuo of thu miners working iu a col liery where safety lamps were absolutely used, lit their equibs with matches. I in vost'gitod tho matter and found it to bo true; in talking with thu mimr ho said, he dld not do it any more. 'What do you do now?' I asked; his reply was, 'I suck the tUmo through the gauze with my plpo, then put the tquib in my pipe whon I am going to Are a shot.' I threatened to havo him arrowed whon his 'butty' appealed, saying at tho same timo 'there is wt.rsu than that done in this colliery,' and with lorno persuasion ho very reluctantly tolu mo that some of the mon unscrewed the gauzo with a nail and worked with the naked flamo. This was a very alarming statement, bocauso it ondangered tho lives of all In tho colliory, and the practice may have earned tho loss of many lives else where I orn explosion of gas." Comment is tupoifluous. Mr. Stein ex presses tho came opinion as others oi tho Inspectors, namely, that If the men would act up to the Taw, at least CG per ctnt. of the death rato lrom accidents would bo averted. Mine Inspector McMurtrio, of the Sixth anthracite dittrict, sets forth in his report that filty per cent, of tho accidents wcro due to falls of roof and sides and tho inspector calls for bettor caro and judg ment on the part of the men. Mr. Mo il urtrio describes a way of tapping old wastes ai Mount CaTmel colliery, which Is almost identical with the system described In "Tho Progress in Mining" in The Colliery Engineer for December, 1691. He also mentions some now air-compressing plant and rope haulages, which have beon introduced during the year. Mine Inspector Samuel Uay, of tho Seventh district, says in his report: "Notwithstanding the depressed condi tion of the anthracite coal trade during the two preceding years, the sanitary con dition as well as the producing capacity of the collieries, has been kept up to uvea .a higher standard than In any preceding year. Tho output of coal has been largely increased in proportion to tho number of fatal and non 'fatal casualties. ''In that respect the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron Company has made a rather remarkablo showing,, haying produced over 205,000 tons of coal per.eacji life lost. This company operates thirteen collieries in this district, giving employ ment to 6,820 persons, under and above. ground, the death rate being 1 In every 1,164. Tbeso facta when it Is taken into consideration, that a numbor of these col Hones aro very gaseous, much more so than in any other part of tho district, would indicate that the management and discipline in and about these collieries had been m-ro than usually rigid. "The individual concerns have alsomado a showing that is worthy of notice in point of production, having an output of over 300,000 tons to each fatal accident Row ever tho death rato is much above that sbown in tho foregoingr The diflerenc bung 1 death in 8'J0, as egalmt 1 in 1,104." Mr. Uay has tho following to say with regard to advantages of better discipline in the working of thu collierios: "Notwithstanding that the mechanical appliances for tho prevention of acciden.lt in and about these collieries are equal to any in tho district, and we may venture t say any in the stato, yet accidents of the character we have given a briet synopsu of, havo been more frequent at some ol these collieries than at others. "Yo have stated elsewhere that according to the evldonco of the foreman in charge of these collieries that several of tho aeo.dents art attributed to disobedience of orders uiveu llowover, it is a well-established fact that, as a general rule, that insubordination is the result of lax discipline. It should bu understood by those in charge of mines, that as long as it exists, just so long must they oxpect the tame results."
