Aline Cave-in on Broadtop.
What is known in mining
terms as asqueese was the cause
of the closing of one of A. J.
Rlack's mines at Broad Top
City Saturday evening, Novem
ber 16. It" happened in mine
No. 3, known aa the Cook
Mine. It is one of the biggest
operations in the Broad Top
coal regions. 100 men were
thrown out of employment and
the estimated loss to Mr. Black
will amount to nearly $35,000
The equeese started after the
miners had quit work and the
entire mine is practically closed.
All the miners cars, pumps and
all sort of equipment that belongs
to the mines, together with the
miners' tools are closed and
smashed. Practical mining men
say that they never saw anything
like it in the Broad Top region
before and it will take at least
two years to get the mine back
to anything like its capacity.
Over 100 tons of iron are cov
ered up and never can be gotten
out. Along with it is 57 mine
cars and three of the pumps are
known to be smashed in the
cave-in. The miners are. all re
joicing that they were not in the
mine at the time it occurred.
