information We have received, Is not
true.
The bulkhead was constructed OF
concrete and is six feet thick and was
pronounced by all who saw 1t amply

is further certain that the best OF cal
culation possible was made by the
management in all of this preparatory
work; that nothing was left undone
that could have been forseen at the
time to make everything safe from the
effects the expected cave.
The cave occurred during the after
noon OF Thursday, Feb. IA. A. careful
watch had been kept upon the old
workings and 1t had been observed
that the old slopes were working" so
that the cave was expected to occur
in the near future.
Mine Closed Four Days.
Immediately following the cave the
mine was closed down and was kept
closed for period OF four days. This
Is fact that has not been generally
known, the common understanding
being that work was carried on con-
tinuously. After the four days hal
passed 1t was thought that everything
had settled; that the bulkheads were
tight and that all trouble from the
cave was passed so the men were SET
to work again on Tuesday.
The catastrophe which was so close
at hand gave no warning OF its pres
ence in any way. but burst out like q
bolt from clear sky. There was nc

agencies nor was there any seepine
