Tapped the Susquehanna.

The Ravine Mine of the Newton
Coal Mining Company at Pittston is
in danger of being flooded by an acci-
dent that occurred last week. One Of
the miners, while at work; fired a
blast with the object of taking down
top coal. The conclusion opened a
seam in the roof that caused stream
of water, sufficient to fill an eight
inch pipe, to pour in with great force.
Alter waiting for some time in hope
of it stopping, the engineers were sent
for. After thorough investigation
they discovered that the leak came
from the Susquehanna river, and as
yet have not been able to devise plans
to stay the inpouring stream. Three
large pumps have been put to work,
and it is only with the greatest diff
Guilty the mine is kept from filling up.
The mine is one of the most pro-
ductive Of its kind in this valley, and
is owned principally by George B.
Newton and Frank T. Patterson, oi
