WASHINGTON, D. C, Doc. 15.-
Tho use of improper explosives, or
tho improper uso of the snfer cxnlo
sives, nre responsible for a consider
able number of deaths in the conl
mines, mnny of which nre often crcd
itcd to other sources.
This is the assertion of Director of
the Geological Survey George Otis
Smith, made after the results of the
work of that branch of the survev
which had charge of the work of
experimentation in nn effort to re
ducc the number of fatalities in Am
erfenn coal mines.
Vigorous objection is made to the
use of black powder in anv mine
where there is dauger of n gns or
coal dust explosion. In such mines,
tho operators and miners are urged
to use the explosives that have been
tested at the mine accident station,
at Pittsburg, P u., as being much less
dangerous in their action. Investi
gations at this station have proved
that the flame fro mtho explosion of
black powder lasts from 1000 to
400 times as long as the flame from
the newer explosives and is there

or gns in these mines. "The use of
explosives is increasing both in
quantity, and iu the variety of pur
poses to which they are applied,"
said Mr. Smith today.
"They are now made nt 150
plants in different parts of the coun
try and the produte of n single year
now -approaches 500,000,000 pounds.
Of nil this material, there is no' such
thing as n safe or safety explosive
when in the hands of a careless or
ignorant person. This statement is
true whether considered in connec-1
tion with the transportation or use
of these explosives in mining. In ad
dition to tho large losses of life and
property resulting from an improp
er use of explosives in mining, the
recent statistics of the railway bu
reau for the safe transportation ofJ
explosives have shown more than 400
persons killed and injured and over
$3,000,000 worth of property de
stroyed from accidents from this
source.' The fact that through co
operative efforts under the wise su
pervision of this bureau during the
three years of its existence these
losses have been reduced to almost
nothing, should encourage tho hope
that similar co-operative effort may
likewise greatly reduce losses of ife
nnd property from the uso of ex
plosives in mining.
"Tho large death roll of American
mines is an oft recurring appeal to
the miner and the management that
they co-operate in every possible ef
fort for greater safety. It may nev
er bo possible under conditions such
as exist today to prevent mine acci
dents. Litle may be acomplished in
that direction by either the operators
or miners working alone, but experi
ence in all countries shows ,that
through henrtv, determined co-operation
of the two, these accidents
may be greatly reduced. This will
require wise laws nnd regulations
based on fact nnd experience, and
tho strictest possible discipline."

It pays to deal with the "Man Who Knows." When
the Rogue River Land Company sold the Tronson &

produce the world's best apples, and subsequent events
prove the soundness of his judgment. By the way:
