Fewer Fatalities in the Mines

— Figures just issued by the United States Bureau of Mines show that 2,517 men were killed in the mines last year, as against 2,834 in 1910. This shows a reduction in the number of lives lost of 317 in one year’s time. The death-rate in 1910 was 3.91 men in every 1,000 employed. The rate in 1911 was 3.74.
