MINING ACCIDENT
RATE FALLS AWAY
The metal-mining industry in
the United States had fewer
deaths and injuries from acci
dents to its employees in 1927
than in 1926, according to a
study of reports from operat
ing companies just completed
by the United States bureau
of mines. The death rate was
reduced from 3.47 per 1000
employees (300-day employ
ees) in 1926 to 3.10 per 1000
in 1927 and the non-fatal in
jury rate was reduced from
245 to 222 per 1000 employees.
The death rate for copper
mines was substantially the
same as in the previous year
but the injury rate was reduc
ed 9 per cent. The iron-mak
ing industry effected a reduct
ion of 14 per cent in the injury
rate and 42 per cent in the
death rate; the large reduct
ion in the death rate was main
ly due to the fact that the rate
for the previous year was ab
normally high on account of a
single disaster in which 51
lives were lost. Lead and zinc
mines in the Mississippi valley
states lowered their fatality
rate 13 per cent and their in
jury rate slightly more than
2 per cent. A reduction of 7
per cent in the injury rate was
shown for mines producing
gold, silver and miscellaneous
metals, but the death rate for
this class of mines was 20 per
•ent higher than in 1926. Mines
producing non-metallic min
erals showed a reduction of 16
per cent in the fatality rate
and 10 per cent in the injury
rate.
According to reports furnish
ed the bureau of mines by op
erating companies, the metal
mining industi'y in the United
States in 1927 employed 119,
t 699 men who worked 34,033,
963 shifts, an average of 284
shifts per man. The number of
men killed in the entire indust
ry was 352 and the number in
jured was 25,133, including
all injuries disabling an em
ployee for more than the re
mainder of the day on which
the accident ocurred. The num
ber of men employed and the
number of man days of labor
performed in 1927 were less
than in 1926 when 127,823
men worked 37,160,978 shifts.
There were 430 deaths and
30,350 non-fatal injuries in
1926.
When the Effie E. Morrisey
was in the Arctic, the party
stopped at an Eskimo village
to pick up a couple of men
to assist the Morrisey’s crew
with their walrus hunting.
They found that quite a num
ber of the hunters had Irish
names. This is accounted for
by the fact that in the early
days the whalers picked up
men for the hunting, and, not
knowing the proper names,
called one man Murphy, anoth
er O'Reilly, and another some
common Irish name. These
names they kept and today are
very proud of them.

The White Pass & Yukon is
planning extensive work of im
provement in the river at Rink
Rapids. Supplies have been un
loaded there consisting of a
large air compressor, and pow
der and caps. The work will
start some time in February,
and will be done in the vicinity
of when© the Dawson was
wrecked.
Lieutenant Commander L. W.
Perkins, who far the past two
years has been in command of
the coast guard cutter Unalga,
has been transferred to the
'southern division with head
quarters at Oakland, Cali
fornia, where he v/ill take
command of the cutter North
land, the newest craft in the
service. The Northland a year
ago replaced the famous cut
ter Bear which for over 30
years cruised the Arctic. Com
mander E. S. Addison, who re
cently arrived in Juneau from
Baltimore, will have command
of the Unalga.
The steamer Thistle which l£ft
Whitehorse last month, capsiz
ed in a terrific windstorm in
the middle of Lake Labarge.
She was carrying 40 tons of
freight and towing a barge
which broke loose. While try
ing to make fast to the barge
again the vessel quartered on
a big wave, the hog chains
snapped, and the steamer
broke in two and sank, follow
ed by an explosion of her boil
ers. The crew had hopped to
safety on the barge.
Oldtimers of Alaska declare
that in a review of the condit
ions of the interior of Alaska
during the past twenty years
or more they believe that the
development of airplane trans
portation has been the most
noteworthy achievement. They
believe that airplanes, will
prove one of the most import
ant factors in reclaiming other
parts of the wilderness in the
future.
Thirty thousand seals were
killed on the Pribilofs this
season, an increase of 5000
over last year. Sealing is con
trolled by the government,
from the time the animals are
slaughtered until the pelts are
dyed and tanned and sold at
auction.
The seal herds come to the
Pribilofs to breed and remain
only during the summer. While
they travel northward in herds
they make their departure one
by one. The youngest animals
travel farthest during the win
ter, some of them going to
California waters and even
more southerly points, depend
ing largely on the feed. The
old males remain closer to the
breeding grounds.
Since the government assum
ed charge in 1912 the herd
has grown from 250,000 to
900,000. Only the three year
old “bachelors’* are killed and
as they congregate in an area
by themselves, breeding is not
interfered with. Some of the
three-year-olds are branded
and these are left for breeding
purposes, the remainder being
slaughtered.

Exalted Ruler Murray Hurl*

the territory of Alaska.
He will succeed J. J. Delaney
of Anchorage, who served in
the same capacity during the
past year.
The Admiralty Island Coal
Company is increasing its out*
put of coal rapidly, and ex
pects to be mining 100 tons
daily within the next three
weeks, according to Howard
Lerch, Secretary of the Com
pany. Within three months it
is expected to increase this to
200 tons daily.
Confident that mink farming
can be made very profitable
when properly managed and
carried on in a locality where
the climate is favorable a
group of Anchorage men have
acquired the Pollard place
near the aviation field and
embarked in the fur business
on a large scale. The company
is starting with Susitna stock.
Development work which was
carried on during the summer
at the Fern mine under the di
rection of T. S. McDougal, with
a small crew of men, has been
entirely suspended for the
time being as the result of in
structions recently received
from Jerome Drumheller, head
ef the company.
. Mining and milling have
been proceeding steadily all
reason at the Mabel mine,
where W. S. Horning and
Charles Bartholf are harvest
ing their annual crop of gold.
Minins also is continuing
steadily at the Gold Cord mine,
under the direction of Hugo
Johnson. The ore from this
mine, runs very high in values
and is being shipped to the
Tacoma smelter as fast as it is
taken from the vein, two ship
ments already having been
made during the season and a
third shipment was being as
sembled at late reports. It is
possible that shipments will
continue throughout the1 win
ter if the ore continues to car
ry good values. Permanent
buildings have been erected
during the season for the crew
and the work will proceed
without interruption through
out the year, either on actual
mining or development. The
property is being worked by
the Golden Bear Mining com
pany of Los Angeles.
Work was suspended recent
ly at the Gold Mint mine of
the Marion Twin Gold Mining
company and it is understood
that plans are now being made
for a new development pro
gram, the details of which
have not been disclosed. Presi
dent Jack Doyle who visited
the property during the sum
mer, announced prior to his
departure for the states re
i cently that the work hereafter
will be conducted on a very
conservative basis. Q A. Pyle
is in charge of the properties
of the company.
Mining operations during the
summer at the Lucky Shot mine
near Anchorage, are said to
have been very gratifying.
About 30 men have been em
ployed all summer. In addition
to the active mining operat
ions, some development work
was also done, under the di
rection of Mr. McAllen, who
spent the greater part of the
[ season on the property.
