The earth fissures in Washington
street and the hillside caused by the
earth movement have been filled and
the break where q portion Of the street
dropped -four or FIVE feet has been
made passable for vehicles, although
the thoroughfare has not been thrown
open for general traffic. The exact
sourceof the water which caused tho
slide has not as yet been determined.
The report that the water backed up
from Buffalo creek through the aban.
doned coal mine, however, Is without
foundation. While 1t is true that
there are entrances to the mine near
the Buffalo creek level and also on the
Washington street level, Buffalo creek
itself Is SO much lower than Washing.
ton street that It would be impossible
for water from the creek itself to have
caused the slide.
The underground waters from the
mine backed up on account Of debris
near the Buffalo creek entrance may
have caused the slide, according to en-.
gineers, or 1t may have been caused
by spring covered up when the fill
on which the street Is built was made.
