Alarming Rumors From Durfee
Proved to be Untrue.

An exaggerated report came to the
city Saturday of the flooding of the
coal mines at Durfee Saturday morn.
ing. 1t was stated that the waters
from a creek on the property had
broken into the mines and that the
entire property was flooded. Stories
were told that the miners in several
instances had difficulty in ge ting out
of their rooms and to places of safe.

slight seepage of water into the mine

ing of the mine whatever and it is
operating this morning again without
any inconvenience and with the seep-
age entirely stopped.
