FROM THE MINES
cave at CIevsiand Lake.
w toI-w-vT-eg Tv-79-ww-w :

For some time past they have been
expecting caving In OF the surface M
the Cleveland Lake mine, Angelne de-
post, and il came Wednesday night.
There il circular depression on surface
marking the shape OF the worked-out
portion underground. 1t IL about l4O
feet in diameter and IL sixty ieet deep.
They have been bringing down a portion
OF the Gaping as work progressed, tins
being "A stratum OF lean ore lying i'm
medatcly over the marketable deposit,
this, with the timbers, forming a strong
"gob" overhead, but the jasper Gaping,
arching over the ore deposit was too
strong TO come until nm area oil some
thing like n half acre in extent had been
mined out and the timber removed.
Some of the openings were very high,
and when the great mass came down the
compression OF air made lively time
underground. The men had about
twenty minutes to get out OF harms
way, and when the fall came none were
caught in the terrific blast that rushed
through the raises and drifts. Every
piece OF loose timber was blown out, and
the skip tenders at the shalt, on the
opposite side OF the lake, keonly felt the
force OF the conclusion.
No work can be done in the mine until
all movement OF the everything mass has
ceased, which will probably be Monday
next The cave will be OF advantage in
working the mine, as IL will permit OF
sale operation, and less care will be
needed IN looking after the hanging.
The Lake Angelinc mine launder
crossed the ground that settled, aud was
let down. necessitating the building Of
about 200 feet oi new work, which has
already been done. The late thaw is
causing considerable water To flow in the
old basin, taxing the pumps TO their
utmost capacity Iron Ore.
