The Diamond Mine Horror.
BRAIDwooD (Ill.) February Is h. The sit
| uation at the Diamond mine is practically
| unchanged. No additions to the list of
drowned are reported. A large number cf
people from the surrounding country are Wis
itiDg the dreary scene. The dam around the
| sink-hole is about half completed, and is ex-
pected to be finished to morrow, and the
! work of pumping cut tie water will be be-
CUR. Doubts are expressed whether the dam
is being built strong enough to resist the
water from the surrounding prairies after the
pumping begins, and it may become necessary
to dig ditch TO Goose lake, distance Of five
miles, before the work of getting the water
out can be successfully carried on. The
Mayor Of this town has called mass meeting
of citizens for tomorrow, to take necessary
measures TO relieve the distress IL the families
of the drowned miners

may be is not yet fully determined, but it is
presumed that he will leave the city for a
long sojourn abroad.
