Sutherland, the ‘chief mining inspector for Ontaâ€" rio, gave an interview in regard to plans for greater safety at the mines. In regard to this, The Globe says :â€" It is the feeling of the Department of Mines that the only way in which results can be obtained to further minimize aceidents underground is to place the responsibility for the care of the workmen on the underground bosses, Mr. Sutherland tells The Globe. Such a method is in force in South Africa Suggestion That Foremen in Each Case be Held Responsible for the Mowat and MacGiilivray, stockâ€" brokers, of Ottawa, have commenced the issue of The Canadian Mining ‘Gazette to give news and views on the mines and markets. The. paper. will South Africa today has the lowest accident ratio of. any mining district in the world, Mr. Sutherland inâ€" forms The Globe. Under the South African system, he states that every underground man who is in charge of other men, must ‘be in possession of a certificate issued by the Governâ€" ment. This can be cancelled at any time if he does not exercise ordinary care in the carrying out of mining operations. : Such a system has been recommendâ€" ed to the consideration of the Comâ€" mission investigating the Hollinger disaster by Mr. Sutherland. He states that the issuing of the certifiâ€" cates does not involve on the part of the Government any responsibility in regard to a man‘s ability. It does, however, place upon the foreman a definite sense of his responsibility. Mr. Sutherland states that practiâ€" cally the same principle is involved in coal mines, but South Africa is the only metal mining, district _ which recognizes the right of the Governâ€" ment to license underground foremen.
