ORE SINKS OUT OF SIGHT.
A Mysterious Cave-in mt the Great
Docks Mt Buffalo.

BUFFALO, Nov. 1S.-Fifty thousand
tons Of iron ore, piled in little mountains
at the Minnesota docks IN tho island op-
posite the Ohio Basin, dropped almost
out of sight at o'clock this morning.
The catastrophe resulted in the death of
two fiftcen-year boys, Max Sors and
Thomas Ford. and the loss of between
s150,000 and 100000.
A car of ore had just been lifted from
the steamer Marina, which lay in the
Blackwell Canal, and dumped on the dock
by one of the great travelling cranes. The
entire dock. 900 feet in length, began to
groan and heaye, great assures opened
and there was succession of deafening
reports. The great hills of ore sank out
OF sight as though the bottom of the ISL
and had dropped away.
The Marina. torn from her moorings.
shot across the canal as though struck
by tidal wave. When 1t was all over
the great mass Of ore which had been
piled thirty feet high was three feet be-
low the surface of the surrounding
ground. The strip oaved in was three
hundred feet long. The entire dock was
complete ruin, twisted and wrecked, the
railroad tracks curled Up and displaced,
and tons of ore forced into the canal
The body of Thomas Ford was found
buried in the ore. Young Sors was
crushed to death by the timbers of one
of the tramways which was torn to pieces.
1t was half an hour before his body could
be taken out.
All day long the ore continued to sink,
and at O'Clock this evening it was eight
feet below the surface in some places.
The cause of the cave-in is a mystery.
Tests were made recently to learn the
character of the land underlying the ore
DOCKS. Borings Of thirty feet showed
nothing but solid clay, and it was then de-
cided that the docks could have no fear
from quick sand, yet quick sand must
have caused the collapse.
The night shift of sixty men had not
gone off duty fifteen minutes before the
dock caved in and fifteen minutes later the
day men would have been at work. The
