ROAD IMPASSABLE
FROM Mine CAVE-IN
Old Workings Settle Near Mayfield
Yard and Cause Depression in
the Roadway Covering an Area of
Fifty Feet-Water Pipe Burst and
Floods Into Erie Mine.

The vicinity of Mayteld yard. which
IS now celebrated for its mine settings.
had another cave-in yesterday.
The depression this time is near the
stone residence. though it does not af-
feet this property. The settling extends
for about fifty feet and involves the
whole roadway. The street car tracks
are also sunken. and it will take tons
upon tons of filling to bolster up the
roadbed.
The cave-in is about ten feet deep
and is this depth for the whole length
of the depression The hole is chasm-
like in it's aspect. and it proved n
danger spot last night to drivers who
had not been warned of its presence
Several of them drove into the hole. or
'ather dropped into it. and had close
escapes from disaster.
What is perhaps the most serious is
the bursting of the supply pipes of the
Consolidated Water company. The
water thus let loose found it's way into
;he workings of the Erie mine which
nderlie the affected area. and gave
the men who have charge of this work
considerable annoyance during the ar-
tcrnoon and last night.
The cave-n of Yesterday has been
going on steadily for about two weeks.
That is. ii has been noticeable for thar
length of time. The experience which
the residents of that vicinity have had
with these settings fills them with ap-
prehenson. and Yesterday when the
drop took place their fears were real
lied.
The last cuvc-in made II great deal
of work for the Scranton Railway COM
pany, as it required nearly 100 tons Of
earth to fill the hole. The depression
that exists now will require twice that
number Of tons to make the road pass
able and place it in Il condition of
safety.
Mine settings are nothing in this
vicinity. They have .,aSSed the stage
where they are considered as surpris-
ing. The wrinkled surface of the earth
and the succession of depressions in
the adjoining field speak this fact more
strongly than the mere telling of it. In
all this section. the territory everything
