Gra- ham, chief inspector of mines, the fatalities in coal mines were put at 27, one less than in 1912. In metalliferous mines the fa- talities were 13, an increase of five over 1912. In the coal mines the ratio of fatal accidents per 1,000 persons employed was 4.05, compared with 38.93 in 1912; in metalliferous mines it was 3, compared with 2.10 for 1912 The use of non-freezing powders, Mr. Graham believed, would reduce’ the accidents from drilling into miss-holes in met- alliferous mines. He also galled attention to the usefulness of pulmotors even in metalliferous iInines, There was one mine inspector for every 1,837 mine workers in British Columbia; in Great Brit- jain the number of * inspectors worked out at one for every 20,- 904 persons empleyed.
