a car of ore had just been lifted from
the steamer Marina which lay in the
Blackwell Canal, and dumped on the deck
! by one OF the great travelling cranes The.
/ entire dock. SEQ feet in length, began to

It was half an hour before his body could

All day long the ore continued tc sink.

The cause of the caye-in is a mystery
Tests we're 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 of duty fifteen minutes before the

day men would have been at work The
