MINERS DEATH RATE LOW
It is an extraordinary fact
that even when deaths from
accident are included, the rate
of mortality among miners of
Great Britain is materially
lower than that among any
other big class of labor, ex
cept agriculturists, and appre
ciably lower than the average
rate of mortality among males.
This fact was discovered by
'Dr. Tatham, while acting as
j superintendent of statistics in
;the office of the registrar gen
leral. Dr. Tatham points out
that while the risk of fatal ac
cidents among the coal miners
is much greater than among
other males generally, their
risk of death by disease is
much lower, being 16.6 per
cent less than all occupied
males, and 23.2 per cent less
lhan that of all males. While
coal miners appear to suffer
more than the average mortal
ity from bronchitis, they show
marked immunity from con
sumption, their mortality from
that disease being les3 than
half the average. From diseas
es of the nervous system their
mortality is 18 per cent lower;
heart disease, 10 per cent low
er, and from disease of the
liver, 10 per cent lower than
among all males.

This feeling has been fostered and fanned into active antagonism by politicians
masquerading in the guise of protectors of the rights and property of the public,
but in fact seeking personal gain at the expense of the public. Numerous scurrilous
attacks have been made based on such motives and having little or no foundation
in fact.
ALASKANS
RCM the inception of the salmon canning industry in Alaska down to the
^1* present time there has been a feeling in the minds of Alaskans generally
that the packers operating in the Territory were depleting Alaska’s fisheries
without returning to the Territory anything adequate to offset the natural
wealth taken out.
Became we ere convinced of the inherent desire of Alaska’s citizenship to be fair
and to the end that an understanding of the industry and its relationship, economic
and social may be arrived at which is based on fact, we will use a limited amount
of space in Alaska’s papers for the next few weeks for the purpose of setting forth
those facts.
In this series no effort will be made at “Propaganda.’’ We will merely recite facts
without attempt to influence the reader’s judgment other than it may be influenced
by the consideration of the facts presented.
The fisheries of Alaska represent one of your greatest resources; the investments
in plants for turning that resource into wealth represent our resources. Both are
entitled to protection. V/e are both concerned in perpetuating the industry.
Without mutual understanding the best interest of neither can be conserved.
That fact, and that fact alone, is responsible for the series of articles we will carry,
in the form of advertising which will appear from time to time beginning at an
early date.
A'o partnership can succeed without mutual
confidence and close co-operation.
The Canning Industry of Alaska
NEW PROSPERITY
FOR FAIRBANKS
Fairbanks, metropolis of in
terior Alaska, i3 facing a new
era of prosperity as a result of
the development of a big plac
er project backed by the U. S.
Smelting and Refining Com
pany.
The project is based on the
construction of an immense
| water system for hydraulick
ing, with a ditch 103 miles in
|length supplying the water.
The ditch will extend along
the right limit of the Chata
jiiika river, with a reverse syph
;on to land it at the head of
Cleary Creek, which will he
| the principal field of operat
ions. Sufficient elevation is at
tained for hydraulicking the
I famous gold stream on ooth
j sides. The ditch will also be
carried around from Cleary
to the head of Little Eldorado
and to the head of 1 tome
Creek, both of which will be
worked. From the latter point
the great water channel will
be conveyed through a 1109
foot tunnel to the head of
Coldstream, another rich plac
er stream, and thence to the
heads of St. Patrick’s and Est
er Creeks. AH of the streams
mentioned were worked by
hand methods in the early
days and produced great for
tunes. They still contain great
! stores of wealth impossible to
extract profitably by the form
er methods.
According to U. S. Geological
Survey estimates the placer
fields of the Fairbanks district
still contain upward of $250
000,000 in gold and the pro
ject aimed at its recovery is
?aid to be the largest placer
undertaking in history. About
1,500 men will be employed
i in the construction of the grea
i water way, which is to be 2
| feet in width at the botton
over its entire length. The con
struction work will require
more than two years. It is esti
mated that the population o',
the Fairbanks district will be
increased at least 2,000 nex
-pring.
Norman C. Stines, of London
a noted mining engineer, is to
be in charge of operations.

editor writeth a stick and a

nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even
as a centurion, and the pioud
father giveth him a Crcmo.
Behold, the young one grow

the editor putieth into his pap

wisdom of the young woman
and her exceeding cornl'ness.
Like unto the roses of Sharon
is she and her gown played up
to beat the band. And the
dressmaker getteth two score

itor gets a note of thanks from
the sweet graduate.
And the daughter goeth on a
journey. And the editor throw
