foot in this country and in Europe 4

ont of work, and the unions are

CELEST NEGRIL.
NJ. Longyear, of Marquette, is the
principal fee owner of the mine. 1t Is
the only active one in the Crystal Falls
district on account of it's being a pro
Queer Of high grade Bessemer ore. The
producing capacity is about 10000 tons
per annum and it gave employment to
about 100 men.
The most rigid investigation has been
by the mine inspector of
Iron county to ascertain the cause of
the disaster The vein Of ore is only
sixteen feet wide and the nature of
the ground is such that experts say it
is sufficient to afford adequate support
to the hanging wall of the mine. The
opinion is expressed that the operators
were ''robbing''-that is, taking out
pillars Of ore usually left to support
the hanging wall. The operators are
the Mansfield Iron company, corpo-
ration Of Chicago capitalists.
The mine is one of the best on the
range and it is thought will be entirely
ruined as it Will be impossible to con
troll the water.
