Rodents Friends
Of Iron Miners

Rats and mice were once con
sidered precious rodents in the
iron mines of northern Wisconsin
and Michigan and even today it is
not an uncommon sight for a min
er to be seen during the lunch hour
with a mouse cautiously edging
toward a miners lunch basket.
Years ago the breaking of dirt
overhead was not uncommon and
miners would have to scurry to an.
other part of their underground
workshop for protection against
the fall Of dirt, for no one knew
the extent of the fall once the dirt
started to slide
Minutes, and sometimes hours,
before fall of dirt caved in on
some part of the mine,4 mice and
rats could be seen rushing from
the place where the fall was likely
to occur. 1t was a signal for tn :
miners, and we'll they knew 1T.
While the human eye could not de-
tect it. the mice and rats felt the
smallest tremor of the earth or the
tiniest particle of dirt as it broke
loose from the timbered workings
overhead.
