guish the flames, bat thus far their efforts
have been unayailing. In the meantime
immense veins Of coal hundreds OF feet
below the surface have become ignited,
and fears are entertained that the roof Of
the colliery will fall in.. The props and
brsttiers are constructed Of wood, and
these are rapidly being destroyed by tho
fire, while the massive pillars Of coal are
crumbling into ashes. The colliery Ia
filled with hot air and sulphurous vapor,
and men are constantly being brought to
the surface In q nearly suffocating condi-
ton. The work in No. 5, an adjoining
mine, is now entirely suspended In con-
sequence Of the prevalence Of foul air
from the burning colliery. There Is but
one thing TO hope for-that the roof
above the now dilapidated and charred
seam Of coal will not cave in before the
FIRE Is extinguished. Should It give way
II will bury the burning coal and cut OF
