The Origin Of the Fire,

NO TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
oIR-I notice that many Of the persons who are
examined in regard to the origin OF the fire state
their belief that it began midway up In the shaft
instead Of at the furnace and ali these give az the
reason for this opinion the fact that the WOODEN
brettce ts more burned In Its upper than In its
lower portion. But this fact admits OF a very sim.
pie scientific explanation, which did not occur To
the miners. Combustion depends on the supply OF
oxygen, which Is In greatest abundance near the
mouth OF the shaft; and therefore the combustion
OF the WOODWORK must have been more complete
