Wilkesbakre, Pa., Nov. 25.- Three acres oí the earth over Mineral Spring coüiery at Miner's Mills caved in late Friday af ternoou causing great damage. When the earth went down it carried with it the main pipe of the Wilkesbarre Water Company, which conveyed water frora the reservoir to thla city. The water from the reservoir then poured into the mine, flooding it in a short time. The minera had a narrow escape from drowning, but all were gotten out safely. The city's water supply is entirely cut off. The cave-in was caused by the working of the pillars ol coal left standing in the mine as supports to the earth above. The mine is rende red almost useless.
