Metal prices have hern low, the roal ' market has been fmor, and the entire hard hit, but there linen has industry is roinfort in the fact that fewer lives have been lost and fewer orphans and widows were made in proportion to the number of men at work, laist year hundred and there were forty-nineixty-fiv- e men employed in the metal were killed. mines and twenty-nin-e hundred This year almut thirty-twwere employed, and there have been nine fatalities. Last year there were forty-fiv- e hundred and sixteen men in AH e o the coal mines. The production waa tons and there were thirty-seve- n killed. This year forty-thre- e were employhundred and ed, but the numlier of days worked was less and there were only altout four million and a hundred thousand tons of coni produced, hut the numlier of deaths was fifteen, which is n very 6,004,788 sixt.v-thrc- e remarknhle improvement. In the smelters two have been killed this year as against three last year, and in the mills there have been no deaths, whereus there was one last year. Greatest credit must lie given to the miners liecause on them resolves the responsibility of being cureful every minute of the day and every day in the year. The oN'ratnrs, too, have tried to keep their mines safe and have installed many aafeguards for the protection of their employes. Gratifying progress has also been made toward improving health conditions in the mines, eiqiecially in the matter of getting rid of dust. Letters are being sent out at this time explaining about these efforts. FRANDSEN Chief llealy and W. A. Ream, manager of the mine. The letter proceeds: Chief llealy, in answer to the question, who called him to go to the mine. answered it was Dowuer, manager of safety. This ia the first time in the history of tke state in which a fire department has been called to a fire in a eoal mine, and while I appreciate to the fullest extent your disposition, as well as those you sent to render assistance, it eppeale to me very strongly, hower-e- r, that on account of the firemen nut being experienced in eoal mining the end did not justify the means. I, therefore, request that you will not take such action again. Thia ia written in the interest of humanity." 1 am amazed Reidy of Downer: at the contents of this letter. You say that no doubt 1 have read in the press the controversy over the recovery of the bodies. I would say that this is the first information I have had that there is any controversy over the matter at all. The facts in this ease are, as far as I am acquainted with them, as follows: Home time in the afternoon of the 13th word waa brought to thia office that there had been a disaster at a mine near Morrison, Colo. An apeal was made to the authorities here for assistance not from one, but from numerous sources. Jim Good-hear- t, city welfare officer, immediately started for Morrison. I railed Chief llealy of the Denver department to my office and asked him to confer with Chief Williams of the jwlice department and do whatever was necessary. This he did, going himself to the scene of the disaster, taking with him whatever equipment and men he thought to be necessary. "Without going into full details as to what hapjiened at the mine after the arrival of Chief llealy and hie men and the men from the police depart ment, the fact ia that they took hold of the situation, connected hose to get air iuto the mine, put in a temorary lighting system, provided ndeqnate light and proceeded in the work of recovering the liodies. There were at the mine no facilities for taking rare of the situation. The only equipment available was what was brought from Denver. Chief Healy exierienre, in my judgment, qualified him for this particular work. In view of these facts; to be ronfrooted with a letter such aa yours, I repeat, astounds me.1 His letter concludes: "In view o:1 the extraordinary character of your letter, I am giving copies of this correspondence to the press and I am also sending copies to Governor Hlioup fur his information." Company Support Him. MOAB, Jan. 2. About ten days ago all the coal miners employed at Hego sent an ultimatum to the American Fuel company, operating the mine, that unless Huierintendent Black was discharged at once they would go out on a strike. Several other demands and threats were also sent to the Salt Lake City company and tke situation took a somewhat serious turn.
