Show PAGE SIX HI HUI SUM HUE i I tali is Leld up m model state in uoal mine safety to every otber in the onion in the opinion of Dr. Arthur L. Murray, surgeon of the United States bureau of mines at Salt Lake City and who Ium just returned from a tour of inspect ion of rescue stations and ears of the bureau operating in the northern half of the United States. Utah is considered to have made more pro gress along safety lines in the past five yean than many states where mining has lien under state supervision for unto than a half century, he nays. In the course of the tour the sturgeon visited practically all of the mining districts except those of Alabama, Kentucky aud Tennessee. Interest was shown by those engaged in production and the Bujien'isiun of sinch in the supplemental general eoal mine safety orders promulgated by the industrial commission of Utah last April. To many with whom Dr. Mur-ar- y talked it seemed incredible that this state, one of the youngest in eoal production should have advanced not inly to the front, but to have surpassed any other in the promulgation of the safety regulations covering mining of roaL In requiring, as this state does, the exclusive use of iiemiMsihle explosives in the mining of eoal, electric hot firing, the abolition of flame safety lanqie and exclusive use of approved electric cap lamia underground, with the one exception that magnetically linked sal' ley lamia may be used for gas testing purposes, the rock dusting of all main entries and slupea, the requiring of water on all mining machines anti mechanical loaders, the sprinkling of working faces aud prohibition of the movement of accumulations of gas while a working shift is in the mine, gives to Utah a far greater nunilier of safeguards thou will be found in coal mine safety orders of any other state. Although Utah is favorably commended on every aide for the advancement it lias made in safeguarding those engaged in mining, the Results to be obtained by these recent safety orders are being carefully watched," he . ays. "It is, therefore, up to everyone in the state concerned in any way with production to show the world that not only can Utah take the forefront in the promulgation of safety regulations, but also that we are equally progressive in cutting down, our accident rate by living in spirit, deed and action to the utmost limit of our mining safety orders." BETTERMENT SENTIMENT ON IN THE WYOMING CAMPS BOCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Oct. 20. During the visit of Eugene McAuliffe of the Union Pacific Coal company to itock Springs the ast week two steps of great civic iuqiorlance were taken, one of material benefit and the other of religious interest. One was the definite decision to sewer the entire town and change the course of Hitter Check, aud the other was the getting together of all religious denominations for social work in this city and t lie surrounding mining ruinim of the oinjwmy. At a conference between the city council anJ McAuliffe he announced the Union Pacific Railroad company nnd the Union Pacific Coal company wonhl with the city in any possible way to assure a sewer and drainage project, which would rcuuive from the center of town a serious flood and health menace.
