The year just closed has been a very active one in producing iron ore, and in exploring for new ore bodies. It will be noticed that of the twelve accidents, five of them were caused by run over by cars; one by dumping of car; two overcome by one by falling dirt from bank; one cut be- tween engine and cars; one by being struck by dipper stick on steam shovel; one by the cave in a drift. I was in said mine a few days before the accident and could not see any danger. In the small leads of ore in the Crosby Mine it is hard to get the loose dirt to follow and sometimes there may be an open space and a big chunk may come off the side, which I think was the reason why this miner was killed. Of the twelve men killed, eleven of them were la- borers. The five run over by cars, all of them were not working at the time of the accident, but was walking to or from work. To avoid any such accident, it would require separate road along side of track as there is ne means for a man to get to his work, except to walk on the track in most of the stripping mines. I have found no fault with any of the man- agers of the mines. They all are taking every precaution in thein power to avoid accidents. There is nothing they dread so much as a ents and especially where there is a loss of life.
