A lockwood correspondent of the
Chattanooga Herald writes under date of
June 26: "The ventilating hue of the
Rockwood coelbank caught fire Last
Tuesday night, and burned most furi-
ously until Saturday, when, by the most
determined exertions, it was extin-
guished. The fue goes up from the
rooms below through over 100 feet of
solid coal; fire is kept at the bottom OF
this shaft to stimulate the draft, and. it
is supposed, communicated to the sur
rounding coal. The rooms below being
80 large, it was found impossible to shut
off the supply of air from below, and the
white blaze shot up over 100 feet into
the air. The plan used to extinguish
the fire was to dig out the burning coal
from below and put it out with water
brought in buckets from the drain in
the interior of the mine, somo 300 feet
distant. Fifty men were kept at this
day and night. from Wednesday morn
ing until Saturday at noon. The fire
had penetrated over thirty feet into the
solid coal on one side, and only five or
Six feet on the other. and to dig out this
mass OF red-hot coal was terrible work
Water had no effect on it until it was
dug loose. and the heat and steam we're
suffocatipg; but the men worked with a
will, and succeeded in saving the grent
coal property. The heat was so great as
to melt the slate roof, which dropped
down In waxy puddles, hardening into
masses OF lava-looking cinder."
