Nine of the deaths were due to fall of ground in stopes, drifts or crosscuts; one fell down shaft; one was killed in caveâ€"in of muck in stope; one struck by timber; one run over by train of cars; one crushed in locomoâ€" tive collision. The report shows a fatality rate of 3.02 per thousand men employed, which is 0.02 per thousand lower than the mverage for the past twentyâ€"five vears. There was one accident at the Howey, G. F. Hughes, aged 20, British, a cage tender, single, being crushed between cage and shaft timbers, on April 20th.

This booklet of 143 pages covers the trainâ€" ing course very fully and permits a candidate for training to acquire more detail than can possibly be undertaken in the short periods which are actually spent in the station in undergoing training. The comparative fatality rate per thousand men employed at mines, metallurgical works, quarries, clay, sand and gravel pits is as follows:â€" mines, 11,775 men employed, 35 killed, 2.97 per 1000; metallurgical works, 4,513 employed; 1i killed, 2.44 per 1,000; quarries, 1,448 employed, 4 killed, 2.76 per 1,000; clay, sand and gravel pits, 800 employed, 6 killed, 7.5 per 1,000; total, 18,534 men employed, 56 killed, 3.02 per 1,000. There were 1,639 nonâ€"fatal accidents at the mines, 256 of these being on surface, and 1,383 underground. The leading causes of the accidents was rock or ore at face, fall of persons, falling objects, fall of rock or ore from face, wall or back, tramming, rock or ore in chute, fiying objects, crushed between two obiects and hand tools. "Following a training course at the Pittsburgh Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, attended by the Inspectors of Mines and Mr. Ausâ€" tin Neame, supervisor of the station, the training of miners in mine rescue and recovery operations was inaugurâ€" ated at the Timmins Station early in the year. ‘"Up to the end of the year, 96 men had been trained at the station. These men represent teams from the Hollinâ€" ger, McIntyre, Dome, Vipond and Conâ€" iaurum mines. The report notes a number of proseâ€" cutions during the year for contravenâ€" tion of the mining laws, rules and regulations. Mines Rescue Stations The report refers at some length to the mine rescue stations at Timmins and Sudbury. In reference to the Timmins mine rescue station the reâ€" port says:â€" "Weightâ€"pulling devices were installâ€" ed in the "smokeâ€"room," so tnat the men in training could be taught the wearing of apparatus while performâ€" ing strenuous physical labour. When the weather permitted the men were required to shovel rock, screen sand, etc., while wearing apparatus. "One call was put in for the equipâ€" ment during the year, when the underâ€" ground crew of the De Santis Gold Mining Company was overcome by carâ€" bon monoxide following a blast. Unâ€" fortunately the call was received too late to save the lives of the whole crew one man dying before he co@ld be resâ€" cued. Four days after the accident apparatus was worn in the shaft to sample the air and determine whether it was safe to resume operations. It was found that carbon monoxide was still present in amounts varying from 0.2 per cent. to 1.0 per cent." Iroquois Fallsâ€"Powers, goal; R. Porâ€" ter, left defence; S.

The percentage of nonâ€"fatal acciâ€" dents followed by infection decreased from 6.9 per cent. in 1929 to 6.2 per cent in 1930.

In the meanâ€" time, copies of the Lion‘s Club report will be presented to the various organâ€" izations for their consideration and enâ€" dorsation. They will report their posiâ€" tion to a special meeting to be h>ld on Mcnday, March 9. In brief, the proâ€" posal of the committee is that a muniâ€" cipal arena be erected at Wallacs Park. Tre report points out hundreds of dolâ€" lars are contributed annually by the Rotarians and the Lions for the or>raâ€" tion cf openâ€"air rinks and to assist hocksy leagues. The site suggeosted is sentral and an arena on this site could Je used for various civic purposes duyâ€" ng the offâ€"ssason. Because of the lack 3f proper building,â€"the North Bay Agricultural Scciety had to discontinus their annual fall fairs Should a municipal building be erected, proper facilities for this purpose would be ;rovided. The city council will be askâ€" ad to submit to the ratepayers a byâ€"law providing for the erection of thse muniâ€" cipal arena. The North Bay Lions have contracted to pay the costs of heir referendum, regardless of the outâ€" come. Furthermore, they guaranteed they will raise $500 the night the arena is opened and will present this sum to the city. Finally, should any deâ€" ficit occur in the firss year‘s operation, which contingency is considered very unlikely, the Lions agree to meet it. W. Dreaney, chairman of the special committee of the Lion‘s Club, presided. The following organizations were presâ€" ent:â€"Rotary â€" Club, A. Jackman; Ratepayers‘ Association, James Mcâ€" Ilvenna and Forest Allan; Commercial Travellers‘ Club, L. Ross, John Jago and J. W. McLeod; Railroad trainmen, J. B. Croghan; T. and N. O.

Representatives of several organizaâ€" tions, as well as a large number of inâ€" teresited citizens, convened in North Bay last week to discuss the report of a committee of the North Bay Lions Club in regard to an artificial ice arena for North Bay.
