                           FIVE HUNDRED IDLE
                           
                 A Cave-in Threatened in a Michigan Mine
                 
              Negaunee, Mich., May 17. - Five hundred men employed
            by the Negaunee iron mine are idle because a cave-in
            threaten at the mine. The movement has been going on
            gradually for some time and it is feared will ruin the
            mine. A heavy loss of from $100,000 to $200,000 is con-
            sidered inevitable. Pumping has stopped and the mine is
            gradually filling with water. The cavein may come at
            any time or it may not happen for months. The cause is
            the entry of water in the lower workings which pumping
            has so far been unable to prevent.
