LITTLE RIVER
FROM A MINE

The work at the Oliver Iron Mining
Company near North Freedom is pro-
crossing with substantial improve
ments. During the past six months
much steel and concrete work has
been put in hundreds of feet below the
surface and the Improvement being
made of concrete and steel is an lndl.
g alton that it is to remain for some
time. Hundreds of concrete slabs
several feet long have been used in Go
ing the work. The water system is
working fine, pure water being forced
to all parts of the plant, even bubblers
being at convenient places for those
about the mine. There is dTy-house
for their clothes and hospital In case
of an accident. No one has been serl-
ouslY injured at this mine since the
work began. An immense amount OF
water continues to flow into the mine
and is forced out again. The water
that comes Through big pipe, under
the highway and into ditch north of
the mine is about sixteen hundred
aIlons minute. But few mines in
Wisconsin, Michigan or Minnesota
have as much water. About twenty
six tons of coal are burned daily to
pump the water and operate the
mine. A pile of ore as large as a huge
straw stack has been brought to the
surface, but none has been hauled
away. Of the drifts in the two levels,
the longest one is about eleven hun
dred feet The drifting is to the west
Although the work has been going on
for number of years it will be about 2
years more before mining and shipping
will really begin. 1t requires years to
make ready, but the result of the care
full preparation will no doubt be re-
warded in the end.

VALVE BONNETA BLEW OFF
Vigorous Fight Necessary to Check

Newport, r. l., July 8. The bravery
of the engine-room crew of the bat
tleship Louisiana helped the vessel
out of a dangerous predicament yes
terday when valve bonnet blew off,
flooding the starboard engine-room
with, water. Incidently the accident
gave Capt. Templin H. Potts, who
was Tuesday dismissed by the naval

day, a memorable experience at the
close of his long years of service.
The battleship was in Narragan-

The rush of the sea through the pas
sage opened by the displacement of
the bonnet could not be readily
stopped, although Chief Engineer
Frank w. Sterling and officers and
men of the engine-room force rushed
to the scene. Swirling waters car
ried men off their feet, forced them
against the machinery, threatened to
drown them; but they stuck to their
work. At times the sea in the en-
gine-room rose to height of six feet,
but still officers and men worked on,

his successor be appointed immedi-
ately, it is supposed he will move in
to his house on Park avenue until he
was we'll enough to travel. Superin-

house of correction.
A rumor that Daniel B. Bree, depu-
ty superintendent, would resign
along with his chief, was not denied
by Mr.. Bree last night. Mr.. Bree ad-
mitted that he had unofficially told
Mr.. Morgan that he was going to get
through. Mr.. Bree has been at the
house of correction four years long
er than the superintendent. He was
appointed assistant superintendent
by Mr.. Morgan about 10 years ago,
to succeed Willis Richmond.
There has been a very well de-
fined rumor to the effect that Mr..
Morgan's resignation was prearrang-
ed, because of failure to meet the
requirements of the present state ad-
ministration The report that he
was slated for removal has been
current for months. Many changes
have been made at the house Of
correction since the retiring superin-

he was unable to discuss them last
night. Assistant Superintendent Bree
said that the institution has been
built to almost double the size it
was when Mr.. Morgan took Office

are guilty &C more serious crimes,
in many instances, than any of the

of correction was used mostly for
the detention of tramps, intoxication

More long term men are coming

an operator in stock" and admitted
ly the bearer of several assumed
names, was the principal in the re-
markable session. With entire aban
don, arousing the committee to laugh
ter at times by his naive admissions,
he told of his impersonations, his
participation in attempts to influence
Wall street operations and his as
sociation with Edward Lauterbach,
New York lawyer. in efforts to

to the witness stand yesterday arm

record OF the conversations, in
themselves unusual in their tone,

nodded, saying, that's right" and

atoms, Lamar contended, was to Sc
cure reinstatement for his friend,
