IsBPEMING, Mich, Aug. 24.-The Lake
Superior Iron company has decided to
raise the pumps in its hematite mine and
allow the working to fill with water.
The strikers are still very firm in their
determination to remain out They
think that after the water has risen to a
certain height in some of tho soft ore
mines the companies will accede to the
scale and start up again, as they claim 1t
will ruin the properties II the water Is
permitted to rise to some of the upper
levels. The mining engineers and Off.
Gals generally do not agree with the
miners on this point, claiming that the
water will not injure the mine In the
least.
1t will take from three to five months
for some Of the larger mines to fill with
water. Many Of the strikers have left the
range during the last few days The ma
jority of those going will seek employ
ment on the Gogebic and Mesaba ranges.
Supplies are being sent in from outside
for the support of the strikers in distress
here. Soliciting committees are meeting
with good encouragement In the copper
region. and the men here appear happy
and are apparently not much concerned
as to what the future will bring.
