perty, was not attended with q loss OF life,
A workmsn's lamp ignited the blower OF
gas in the stope a short distance from the
bottom of the shaft, and so furiously did
it burn that the men we're unable to safely
combat the flames, and we're compelled to
take to fight. Fortunately there were two
ways..of escape-one by means of an air
shaft, the other through the second open
ing. When it was found the fire could
not be e~xtinguished by the appliances at
hand the fire department was called out
at midnight. The department responded
promptly land began flooding the mine
| with water from the Susquehanna river,
a few hundred feet from the mine. This,
however. did not prove a very prompt
extinguisher. Pumping was kept up all
| night and to-day, and how long 1t must
| be continued nobody knows at present.
Exploring parties we're lowered into the
| pit this evening, but the fire was 80 fierce

be several days before the fire can be ex-
