AGGCIDENTS AT THE MINES IN QNTARIO DURING 1923 Notable Decrease from 1928 in Number of Accidents and Also the Number of Fatalities. In teresting Details Given in Bulletin. 1929 «January Bulletin No. 71, issued by the Ontario Department of Mines, and entitled, "Mining Accidents in Ontario in 1929," gives interesting data relative to the accidents and deaths by accidents in Ontario mines during the past year. The data and statistics were compiled by the following officials:â€"D. G. Sinâ€" clair, Toronto, chief inspector of Mines; E. C. Keeley, Kirkland Lake, mines inspector; G. S. Jarrett, Sudbury, mines inspector; R. H. Cleland, Timâ€" mins, mines inspector; A. R. Webster, ‘Toronto, mines inspector. The report shows a fatality rate of 2.89 per thousand men employed. which During the year 1929 at the mines, metallurgical works, quarries, clay, sand and gravel pits regulated by the Mining Act, there were 2444 accidents to employees reported to the Departâ€" ment of Mines up to January 15, 1930. Fiftyâ€"five fatalities, arising out of fortyâ€" eight separate accidents, were recorded. These returns represent a decrease of 113 in the total number of casualties and a decrease of 30 in the number of men killed over the record of the preâ€" ceding year, 1928. It should be noted, however, that the number of fatalities in 1928 was abnormally high due to the death of 39 men in the Hollinger Mine disaster of that year. EOSE es .i it n ie n Ees prva i isb h iss 55 By months.the fatal accidents in the mines, metallurgical works, quarries, ete., occurred as follows:â€" "Month Number Men 3 Classifying the fatalities according to industries gives the following:â€" CGoldâ€" SA is in c hok 17 INICKEL MINeS ce in e es ie in ds 19 MIMECS 4 Copperâ€"Leadâ€"Zinc Mmes on 1 Mines............;1.. ic 1 Metallurgical Works .......0.............+2 M PME TICES : .0203 L sA iCA h o+ i Ts se + 3 Sand, Gravel and Clay Pits ................. 8 is 0.13 per thousand lower than the average rate for the past twentyâ€"five years.

ROSS O‘NEILL, TIMMINS, ONTARIO to Save 80% on Machinery Repairs? Number Men Accidents Killed And how about a 70% saving on Lubrication Labor? In time required for lubrication, again Alemite shows a treâ€" mendous saving, for Alemiting is done while machinery is at top productionâ€"no necessity to shut down for lubrication â€" The greatest percentage of savings comes in the important item of machinery repairs. Here we find an overwhelming percentage directly traceable to bearing failures and faulty luâ€" brication. Actual figures compiled in actual practice by Alemite show that it saves 80Â¥ in machinery repairs alone. HEN even 5% production savings have been the cause of taking departments out of the "loss" side of the ledger and putting them on the "earning" side, the story of savings effected by Alemite luâ€" brication seems stupendous. And, if you will take time to inâ€" vestigate them one by one, you cannot help but be impressed. the The total number of nonâ€"fatal acciâ€" dents at the mines was 1877, of these 324 being surace and 1,553 underground. The chief cause for the nonâ€"fatal acctâ€" dents was rock or ore at face, 304; rock or ore at chute caused 129 accidents; fall of persons, 212; falling objects, 182 fall of rock or ore from face, wall or back, 106; tramming, 136; crushed beâ€" tween objects, 134; flying objects, sledging, etc., 116; nails or splinters, 112; drilling machines, 91; hand tools, 85: strain while lifting, 75; machinery, 47; running into or striking against objects, 44; cage, skip or bucket, 23 explosives, 23; falling down shaft, winze, raise or stope, 16; burns, 14; electricity, 10; gas, 4; explosion of carâ€" bide, 7; poisoning from cyanide, merâ€" cury, etc., 2; unclassified, 7.

These were as follows:â€" July 15, 1929, at Hollinger, Rhys Jones, aged 27, mucker, British, single, suffocated in fall of muck. Nov. 14th, at Hollinger, E. Johnstone, 21 years of age, driller, British, single, struck by fragment of rock from blast. Dec. 18th, at Hollinger, A. Gauthier, 22, driller, Frenchâ€"Canadian, single, killed in fall of ground while scaling. July 27th, at McIntyre, Nick Cicci, 31 years, shift boss, Italian, single, suffoâ€" cated in fall of muck. June 6th, at Vipond, Emilio Mion, 28 years, mucker, Italian, married, killed in premature exylosion.

Another table gives the comparative fatality rate per thousand men employâ€" ed at mines, metallurgical works, quarâ€" ries, etc., as follows:â€" At last Wednesday‘s session of the spring assizes at Haileybury the charge of procuring an abortion, preferred against Mrs. Tressa Brazonia, of Kirkâ€" land Lake, was formally traversed to the sessions of the peace at Haileybury in June. M. G. Hunt, counsel for the defence, sked for an adjournment on the ground that he had not had suffiâ€" cient time in which to prepare the case, and when Crown Attorney Smiley did not insist on proceeding, Mr. Justice Garrow adjuorned the case as noted. Mrs. Brazonia is in the district jail, the matter of bail not being taken up last week. The grand jury returned a true bill against her. It is understood that she will likely remain in jail until her trial takes place, as the bail will probably be higher than she will be able to secure. At the inquest into the death of another Italian woman at Kirkland Lake recently there was eviâ€" dence to suggest that the woman had died following an illegal operation. The husband of the dead woman told of seeing instruments that he thought were for an illegal operation and that he believed that the accused woman had procured an abortion.

KIRKLAND LAKE WOMAN TO BE TRIED AT JUNE ASSIZES Creighton Mines while under the inâ€" fluence of liquor. He took the jail term. Another case at Sudbury was that of a hoistman who allowed a workman to travel in a hoist used for hoisting material. He was fined $20.00 and costs, the costs amounting to $22.80. found guilty by the magistrate cf criminal negligence in regard to a skip that was overwound, and was fined $200.00 and costs or three months. An appeal to the Supreme Court of Onâ€" tario resulted in the quashing of the conviction while the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the Ontario Court‘s judgment. Before Magistrate Atkinâ€" son, at South Porcupine, Ontario, on February 21, E. Sirrila, a drill runner at the Hollinger mine, was fined $10.00 and costs for a contravention of Reguâ€" lation 25, section 161 of the Mining Act, in that he "drilled within ten feet of a cutâ€"off hole." At Sudbury an emâ€" ployee of the International Nickel Co. was fined $75.00 and costs, or three months, for going underground at THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Last week there were further charges laid as a result of investigations into recent fires at Sudbury. Some weeks ago following an enquiry by the Onâ€" tario Fire Marshal‘s office into one of the fires, J. H. McKinnon, whose wholesale grocery building: was desâ€" troyed by fire some months ago, was arrested on charges laid as a conseâ€" quence of the information disclosed by the enquiry.. His brother also was arâ€" rested in connection with the same matter. Then last week J. A. Lamorâ€" eaux, insurance agent, was arrested, charged with perjury, with defrauding seven insurance companies, and of conâ€" spiring with J. H. McKinnon to deâ€" fraud the insurance companies. In connection with this latter charge J. H. McKinnon was also charged with conâ€" spiring and with counselling or procurâ€" ing Lamoreaux to commit perjury. Eviâ€" dence of alleged conspiracy and fraud in connection with the fire which desâ€" troyed the store operated by Lamoreux in Coniston came out during the inâ€" vestigation in to the circumstances surrounding the McKinnon fire by Proâ€" vincial Fire Marshal Heaton. The Mcâ€" Kinnon books showed that apparently J. H. McKinnon loaned Lamoreux a sum of money,. and gave him large credit in his store, though Lamoreux still owed the firm a considerable sum following his business failure in Sudâ€" bury. Lamoreux did not make replies satisfactory to the Fire Marshal‘s deâ€" partment, and is alleged to have, adâ€" mitted talking over the amount of inâ€" surance with McKinnon, and that he made up the statement of loss for the insurance companies. The crown alâ€" leged that the statement of loss was not correct and that both Lamoreux and McKinnon were aware of its falsity. The statement gave Lamoreux as the sole owner of the business, while the crown holds that the owner was really McKinnon. Bail was granted and the cases are to come up for preliminary hearing this week. A Kirkland Lake lady had a pleaâ€" sant touch and then a shock in police court some days ago. She was accused of slapping her sisterâ€"inâ€"law and tearâ€" ing the latter‘s dress. She was found guilty, but looked almost pleased when the fine was announced as only two dollars. When she went to pay the fine and costs, however, she had a shock when she learned that the total required by the court was $24.50.

THE FINE WAS AN EASY ONE BUT THE COSTS CAME HIGH More Criminal Charges Following Sudbury Fires It has been said by belting experts, that belts do not wear out, but rot out. This rotting is due to oil. There is no oil seepage with Alemite to destroy belts or to increase other general mainâ€" tenance costs. Alemite equipped machinery has the highest production record in all indusâ€" try. Idle, brokenâ€"down machinery is The saving in power is very material. With every bearing operating without friction, power losses are brought to an irreducibleminimum. Alemite machinâ€" ery starts up without the "peak drag" on power that makes morning and noonloads so heavy under oldâ€"fashioned systems of lubrication. Alemite also saves an actual 50% of present luâ€" bricant costs, due to the fact that it wastes not a drop.

Lubrication for Industrial Machinery "Intimation that a crisis had arisen in connection with the Mines Income Tax problem, regarding which a large deputation from the Northern Mining districts and municipalities interviewed Hon. Geo. Howard Ferguson, premier of the Province and Hon. Charles McCrea, minister of Mines, a week or two ago, was one reason for the calling of a special meeting of the Township Counâ€" cil on Tuesday afternoon. Just what, or where, the trouble has arisen was not known, but it was understood that the bill embodying the main points disâ€" cussed with the government had been held up, and the matter was considerâ€" ed one of such great importance to Kirkland Lake, as well as the other mining municipalities, that the Counâ€" cil authorized Reeve Evoy and the Township solicitor L. A. Lillico, to go to Toronto immediately regarding the matter. The general impression apâ€" peared to be that the difficulty had arisen through opposition by the Mines to the proposal that the municipality where the company operates shall be given the right to tax income derived by the company from the investment elsewhere of surplus profits earned in the municipality. While this was inâ€" cluded as part of the suggestions made to the government in the statement of the case for the mining municipalities, it is not a factor that immediately conâ€" cerns Teck Township. The suggestion came from Tisdale and was approved by the other municipalities, some of which are already suffering through the diversion of mining profits in this manner and others which anticipate also suffering unless some relief is proâ€" vided by the government. Detroit Free Press:â€"The governâ€" ment at Washington recently published two pamphets, one on the subject of how to properly raise babies and the other on the subject of how to raise pigs.
