ENGLISH MINING IN 4897 Country Today. In bis third annual report upon the . Mineral Industry of the United King. dom of Great Britain and Ireland for . the year 1896, Mr. C. Le Neve Foster . gives the following interesting com. parison between the coal mining in-/ dustry in Great Britain at the present . time and at the beginning of the reign . of Queen Victoria: Though no exact statistics relating to mining in the year 1837 are obtainable, there is ample evidence to prove that immense advances have been made, whether as regards the num ‘of persons employed at mines, the development of the coal resources of the Kingdom, or the safety and condition of the workers. From the census of, 1841 we learn that 118,133 persons were employed in coal mining; fifty-five years later we find the number to be 692,684, an increase that is nearly six-fold. According to McCullock, whose figures are quoted by the Royal Coal Commission of 1862, the output of coal in 1839 was estimated to be thirty-one million tons; last year the collieries of the United Kingdom produced 195 million tons, a more than six-fold increase in 57 years. The exports of coal have increased enormously, Last year forty-four and one-half million tons of coal were shipped to our cobonies and foreign countries; an amount one and one-half times as much as the total production of the Kingdom sixty years ago. Beginning with the year 1842, an Act of Parliament was passed prohibiting female labor underground; and were it not for the printed evidence and woodcuts contained in the Report of the Children’s Employment Commission, it wonld be difficult for the present . generation to realize the degrading . and inhuman conditions under which young girls were employed below ground in our collieries previous to that date. : This act was followed in 1850 by the first statute providing for the inspection of mines, and sintte that year the . regulutions affecting mines have been considerably extended by legislative ‘ In addition, the workpeople have derived benefits from various other statutes too numerous to mention, whilst sufferers from accidents will have their lot alleviated by the Workmen’s Compensation Act, which comes into operation next year. Statutory regulations and the gen-! eral advance of technical knowledge ‘have had the effect of considerably. reducing the. mortailty from mine acci-. dents. The results may be summed up as follows: In the five years, 1851-5, the average death rate from accidents in and about coal mines was 4.3 per 1000 employed; in the five years, 1891-5, the corres. pondent death rate was 1.5. In other words, the dangers of coal mining have been reduced to nearly one-third of ' what they were 40 years aao. It is not: only as regards safety of life and limb. that the miner bas been benefitted ; . the use of machinery has to a certain . extent relieved him from manual drudgery, and the general conditions of his work have been vastly improved. j . killed. .

The State School Books League has prepared and sent out a very interesting circular letter, in which parentr and others are warned to be on their guard at all times in defense of the State series of school books. It is not necessary at this time to go into detail to show the importance of the State series of books to the parents, not only in the saving directly, but in giving employment.to many people in California, a veritable home industry of great benefit. perintendents held in Sacramento on a test vote it was demonstrated that a majority present were opposed to the State books. The vote indicated that the Eastern book combine had been at work again to injure the home industry. The one remedy now near at hand is the ballot, which every father and friend of the California books should ase in the.coming election to -protect them from further assaults. On this point the State League appeal to the people in the following words; -;;“Finally, we ask the people ‘of California td:keep aneye on the enemies of the State School book system, whether those enemies appear in the guise of open-agents of the school . ook trust, or in the persons of subsidized teachers or school superintendents. And in order to give emphasis to the popular will in defense of the State school book system, we earnestly urge ite friends to vote for no one who may have in his charge the preparation or publication of the State school books who'is not a known friend of the system; nor for a legislative candidate who will ‘ not pledge his support to the same; support no one for Sehool Superintendent, who is known, to bea friend of the books; elect no School Director or Trustee who favors the trust; and employ no teacher who is an enémy of the books. “If this be done, it will be difficult for the book ring to procure its agents from among the servants of the people.” A Dozen Raisins could notbe seeded by ~. hand as quickly as half a pound wiih the Enterprise Raisin and GrapeSeeder.

The State School Books League has prepared and sent out a very interesting circular letter, in which parentr and others are warned to be on their guard at all times in defense of the State series of school books. It is not necessary at this time to go into detail to show the importance of the State series of books to the parents, not only in the saving directly, but in giving employment.to many people in California, a veritable home industry of great benefit. perintendents held in Sacramento on a test vote it was demonstrated that a majority present were opposed to the State books. The vote indicated that the Eastern book combine had been at work again to injure the home industry. The one remedy now near at hand is the ballot, which every father and friend of the California books should ase in the.coming election to -protect them from further assaults. On this point the State League appeal to the people in the following words; -;;“Finally, we ask the people ‘of California td:keep aneye on the enemies of the State School book system, whether those enemies appear in the guise of open-agents of the school . ook trust, or in the persons of subsidized teachers or school superintendents. And in order to give emphasis to the popular will in defense of the State school book system, we earnestly urge ite friends to vote for no one who may have in his charge the preparation or publication of the State school books who'is not a known friend of the system; nor for a legislative candidate who will ‘ not pledge his support to the same; support no one for Sehool Superintendent, who is known, to bea friend of the books; elect no School Director or Trustee who favors the trust; and employ no teacher who is an enémy of the books. “If this be done, it will be difficult for the book ring to procure its agents from among the servants of the people.” A Dozen Raisins could notbe seeded by ~. hand as quickly as half a pound wiih the Enterprise Raisin and GrapeSeeder.
