city streets as far as four blocks from
the river and 10 feet above the main
water height. Street car traffic was
forced To suspend and the electric
light works were drowned out. All
the wholesale and great portion of
the retail district OF the city was some
four feet under later and many thous-
ands of dollars worth OF goods were
damaged. The business thoroughfareS
OF the city are navigabie in boa.s and
parties waded up TO their armpits IN an
effort TO save goods.
The pilot boat Ida Low was driven

MICHIGAN MINE HORROR |
20 MINERS IN THE MANSFIELD
AT CRYSTAL FALLS.
Drowned by the Giving way of the Walls
The Mine was Under IA River
sad Suicide of Preacher.

Special from Marquette: Reports
from Crystal Falls state that cavern
at the Mansfield mine, seven miles
east of that village, resulted in the en-
tom bment and death of % miners. The
| main shaft of the mine extends under
the Michigamme river, and the subsid-
ing of ground turned the stream into
the mine, flooding 1T almost instantly
Forty-siX men were in the mine, but Is
escaped.
j. NJ. Longyear, of this city, is the
principal fee owner of the Mansfield
iron mine. The mine was the only ac-
tive one in the Crystal Falls district.
It's produce is a high grade Bessemer
ore and its producing capacity about
60, 00e tons per annum. The mine gave
employment to about 100 men.
The mine inspector of Iron county is
making rigid investigation to ascer-
tam the cause of the disaster at the
Mansfield mine. The vein of ore is
only 16 feet wide, and the nature of
the ground is such that experts say it
is easy to afford adequate support to
the hanging wall of the mine. Some
believe the operators were ''robbing"
the line; that is, taking out pillars of
ore. usually left to support "a hanging
wall.
Later dispatches: The number of
victims of the Mansfield accident is
given as %. The swift running
waters of the Michigamme must have
engulfed them in an instant of time.
The Michigamme is a small river that
curves around toward the south in the
shape of horseshoe. The mine is
located very near the stream; so near,
in fact, that one of the shafts of the
mine extends far under its waters. A
wall gave way, and the water came
pouring into the mine, entrapping the
men like lot of rats.
The mine has always been consid-
cred dangerous one for men to work
in, and the disaster has often been
predicted, but the pre- lictions gain ed
little credence. Most of the men lost
are Cornishmen. Ii is safe to say
say that nine-tenths of the victims are
men with large families, which lends
additional horror TO what is the worst
disaster in the history of upper PENN
sular mining.
Mansfield Is an isolated station on
the Chicago IL Northwestern railroad.
