BLACK HAWK, S.D. (AP) — Experts from Montana Technological University will soon begin to analyze what lies underground in a Black Hawk neighborhood where homes have been evacuated because the ground over an abandoned mine collapsed.

A law firm representing some of the residents of Hideaway Hills recently announced another possible mine has been discovered besides a surface mine and the collapsed mine.
