BATHS DISAPPEAR
BOTTOM COLLAPSES INTO MINE.
(Received 22nd November, 2 p.m.)
MELBOURNE, This Day. Dalesford has been robbed of its swimming baths, made in an excavation formerly used as the storage basin of an old Cornish mine. Suddenly a portion of the floor collapsed, and the water rapidly drained out with, a great roar into the mine, a tunnel below having collapsed. A party of men had previously been working in the tunnel, and had a narrow escape. They should have been inside, but had stopped work owing to one man refusing to enter because of falls of earth.
