Cave in Caused a Big Hole at Pond
and Depot Streets and Dam
aged Sewer.

A hole measuring thirty-fve feet in
diameter was caused at Pond street
and Depot street. North Scranton,
yesterday morning by a cave-in. which
occurred in the abandoned workings
of the Ieggett's Creek colliery, which
run beneath, known as the Diamond
vein.
The cave occurred near the spot
where the steps lead down from North
Main avenue to the Providence depot
of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
company. 1t started at 1890 o'clock
and continued settling during the day
until 4.30 o'clock. 1t is supposed to
have been caused by the mine supports
giving way, on account of being weak
ened by pillar robbing.
The cave worked under the fence
fronting the property of Thomas
Deaclc, who lives nearby and broke
a basin and several feet of pipe in
the newly constructed sewer, the mains
of which are laid in the Viinity.

The reader of this must concede
two important points: First. what

proved to be true; second. there is
vast difference between opinions pub

opinions daily met with In the same
papers columns which were originally
drafted in Maine or Montana. Read
this case and acknowledge both points:

ments to accommodate the fast in
creasing shipping an other trade at
that city
An explanation of school funds is
found in letter from the recent small
apportionment of State Auditor Atkin-
son to State superintendent Bryan,
which states that it is due somewhat
to the fact that the heavier collections
of taxes occur during the spring
months of the year and also to the fact
that the delinquent taxes are growing
smaller year by year.
The state will buy the Thurston
county court house for $250,000, re-
model the building and use it for a
state capitol building. By majority
of six votes the house gave its sanction
to the Ruth bill, which provides for
purchase of the building. The meas
ure passed the senate three weeks ago.
Governor Rogers has recommended
the purchase twice in his annual mes
sages. and all doubt has now been re-
moved that Olympia will continue to
be the capital city.

Republic.

The Butte & Boston has levied an
assessment of one mill which will be
delinquent March IA.
Twenty tons of Morning Glory ore
was shipped to the CRANKY smelter re-
Gently. The value per ton is estimat-
ed considerably higher than that of
the last shipment, which was little
more than $3.50 per ton.
The fears of deadlock between the
mine operators of Republic and the
Republic mill over the custom treat
ment rates are dissipated by the an
nouncement of a provisional arrange
ment whereby thorough test will be
made by the mill of ore from all the
various mines looking to an adjust
ment of charges, possibly on a new
basis.
The Republic Consolidated Mining
company has placed large order for
development machinery in Spokane.
The machinery consists of 10 drill
compressor, 60 horse power hoist and
so horse power boiler plant and the
contract was secured by the Bradley
Engineering & Machinery company
The mine is at present using a com
pressor with a nominal capacity OF
four drills, but an actual capacity Of
nearly five. This, with the new com
pressor, will give a capacity of II
drills and will enable work on mucl
larger scale. The hoist is a gearet
friction plant with a capacity of SO'
feet depth and a speed of 500 feet pc
minute. 1t will carry a two ton load
The order also includes all the Incl
dentals for the complete operation o
the machinery and equipment of tn
mine for it's operation.

be able to ship its entire output to
these three plants. The big producer
was closed down by the trouble be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, but this new arrangement, which
has just been completed, will enable
and probably increase it if desired.
AS the Sullivan has a contract with
the Trail smelter for it's entire output
and the St. Eugene is shipping largely
to Belgium, the output of East Koote-
nay is thus brought up to its full
amount and the question of treatment
no longer affects the mines of the dis
trict.
