mond & Danville railroad is derailed and

DAMAGING FLOODS.
MENoMINEE, Wis, April 1S.-The rise in
the Menominee river is unprecedented and
much damage has been done. The river
IS two feet above the highest previous
water mark. At Menominee, owing to the
stability of the dam and mills, less damage
was done than elsewhere. The water is
four feet deep in the big mill, and it will
be two weeks before the mills here will be
put into running shape.
At Cedar Falls, six miles above Menom-
inee, the dam and mills are badly dam
aged. The logs in the dam all broke
away, and it will take five or six weeks to
repair the damage.
At Prairie Farm, forty miles above
Menominee, the water cut away around the
dam, doing a good deal of damage to the
mill and store.
SCOTS dam on Lightning creek and
Downs dam on Bay river were washed
away.
At Rice Lake, sixty miles above, the
whole country is flooded and considerable
damage is done.
Middle dam on Moose Ear is partially
washed away. At townsville twelve miles
below Menominee, the dam partially
washed away and the old and new store
and boarding house have gone down the
river. The devastation there is the great
est on the river.
The Chippewa River railroad is badly
damaged the whole length, and it is
thought it will be two months before the
trains are running. The flood seriously
effects very large portion of the lumber
ing district of Wisconsin.
FURTHER FROM THE CAvED IN MICHIGAN
MINE.
Iron MOUNTAIN, Mich, April 18.-No
bodies have been found yet, but a coat and
mitten have been picked up. These we're
probably hanging in the boiler house to
dry at the time of the cave in.
Some of the buried machinery is being un-
covered. Electric lights from the Quinnesee
mine are being used to facilitate the work
at night. Pumps from the Chaplin mine
are being placed in position for use in
case the rescuing party meets with water.
