Mr. Campbell is viceâ€"president of the National Safety Council and has just returned from the annual meeting of the council in Kansas City. Speakers were Angus Campbell, of the McIntyre Company, who is manager of the Omega Mine near Larder Lake, and Maurice Hastie, safety inspector at Wrightâ€"Hargreaves Mine here. Safety in Ontario Mines Prevention of accidents in Ontario mines was the subject discussed at the meeting of the local branch to the Canadian Institute of Mines and Metalâ€" lurgy at the Masonic hall, Wednesday evening. Angus Campbell, of the McIntyre Mine staff, was the chief speaker at the meeting last week of the Kirkland Lake branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. The report of the meeting will be of general inâ€" terest. The Northern News, of Kirkâ€" land Lake, gave the following report last week of the address by Mr. Campâ€" bell, and the other speaker, Maurice Hastie, who explained the safety first system at the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves Mine, Kirkland Lake:â€" Angus Campbell on Safety in the Mines Report on Meeting in Kanâ€" sas.

EMILE Owners of machines of this type selâ€" dom carry insurance protecting: the public although they are the ones which should more than any others do so because of the extra hazarda which thevy create. (From Toronto Telegram) While drunkenness at the wheel and excessive speed are the main causes of automobile accidents dilapidated, wornâ€" out cars operating on the highways also contribute a quota of death and injury. "We have just finished celebrating Remembrance Day," he said. "Our soldiers died for the safety of our counâ€" try. But not until every man becomes fully conscious of watching out for himâ€" self and his fellow man, can we sign an armistice on accidents." A booklet containing rules which every employee had to sign as having read, is issued. All these rules have to be lived up to. Mr. Hastie did not limit his safety first appeal to the mine alone, but took it to the higshways and every walk of life. Advocates Compulsory Automobile Insurance "This is one work in which we are our brother‘s keeper," said Mr. Campâ€" bell. Maurice Hastie outlined briefly the methods used at Wrightâ€"Hargreaves Mine to cut down accidents. He claimed that safety and accident prevention was just starting there and time would see the movement grow. Prizes in this case are substantial with first ranging around $500 and othâ€" ers to correspond. There are given a ticket in a prize draw after so many days of time without an accident. Annually a sports day is held for the miners and the tickets are d@rawn for a winner. Small Mines Worse Small mines are the worst offenders in the raising of accident ratios, beâ€" cause of their lack of facilities for adeâ€" quate safety first and first aid. A glimpse of the system used to cut down accidents in big mines was given by Mr. Camphbell when he told of the way in which the mine where he is employed organized shift bosses and provided bonuses for good records. Premium for Safeiy Giving an interesting illustration from methods he had heard at the National Safety Council at Kansas, the speaker told of the methods used in the big Homestake mine in the United States, one of the largest and oldest gold mines in the worl«. _ the other hand, due no doubt to the restricted operations in the seâ€" «curity markets, call loans in Canada are While last year produced a big swing upward in number of mine accidents and medical costs from the perceding year, Mr. Camphbell claimed accidents were definitely on the downâ€"slide. Not until insurance is made as comâ€" years from nearly" $50 to around $5 per 1000 men.

Until such time as the issue of a license is made contingent upon the production of an insurance policy.this situation may be expected to continue. The exâ€" cuse that hardship would be involved for some car owners is not sufficient to offset the necessity of protecting the public. In any event if the insurâ€" ance requirement were made general a decrease in cost would be almost cerâ€" tain to follow.

The man who is not able to afford to maintain~a car in good condition and who cannot afford insurance ought nct to have the privâ€" lege of driving. Not his own conveniâ€" ence alone but the safety of others on the highways should be considered.

The jury went out at 9.30 and reâ€" turned at 945 with the verdict of "acâ€" cidental death." The inquest was conâ€" ducted by Coroner Dr. F. J. Edis, Crown Attorney J. B.

Other â€" men who worked in the mine with Millar and Ranton were called, but they only substantiated statements given by Mr. McPhail, Roddy McPhail and Dr. Coles, During the inquest the Jurors asked many questions regarding the condition of the rock in that parâ€" ticular part of the mine. All the witâ€" nesses stated that the rock was of a "soft spongy" construction and gave the softress of the rock as the probable reason that Millar or Ranton did not see the uncharged hole when theyv hbhe. Lamp Blown Out i Rsady McPhail, who was diamond drilling about 150 feet from the men,.} stated that his lamp was blown out: by the blast from the raise. A sampler| was between his machine and the raise,| and following the explosion he ran past him to. the cage to get help. The men working on that level received| strict instructions not to go back on | shift. They were ordered to leave everything as it was. McPhail said that he visited Ranton in the hospital when he was convalescing, but Ranton didj not make any mention of the aciecdent.| At the conclusion of the doctor‘s evi~ dence the jury, composed mainly of local miring men, argued briefly wheâ€" ther the absent injured man was the prime witness to the happening. They decided to hear the remaining witâ€" nesses and then conclude whether they had encugh facts on the case to pass judgment. Dr. B. C. Coles was called to the mine immediately following the acciâ€" dent and when he arrived he fcound that Millar was dead. Death was due to fracture and brain injury. The whole left side of the miner‘s face was torn open by the explosion. "The injuries are almost indescribable," Dr. Coles said. He described Ranton‘s injuries to be of the same nature as Millar‘s, but not as serious. When asked by Crown Attorney J. B. Robinson if he asked Ranton any questions aiter ne had treated him, the doctor replied that "he was in no condition to answer any questions. The left side of his jaw was torn cpen by the force of the blaj: and he was suffering considerably." Duncan McPhail, manager of the Martin Bird Mine. was the first witness to be called before the board. Ke stated that he visited the szene of the acciâ€" dent approximately ten minutes after it occurrd. On hearing of the fatality he immediately called a doctor ard a nurse, Mr. McPhail supplied the jury and Crown with sketches of the level and raise where the men were working. Can‘t Avoid Them The mine manager spoke well of both Millar and Ranton, stating that both men were good workers and knew their work well, When asked by Mining Inâ€" spector W. M. Towers what could be done about missed holes, Mr. McPhail said that there is no way to avoid them; the only thing to do is be careâ€" ful, In his evidence, the manager beâ€" lieved that Millar was killed when the drill hit a piece of dynamite secluded in a closed hole. C Ranton was the lone witness to the accidgent, but police could rot find him to inform him of the inquest.
