Pump house.

The situation is critical one and when
spoken to on the subject prominent
mine official refused to say whether or not
the fire was likely to render a death blow
to the colliery.
One official said, 81 think the creek will
end the trouble and if it rises a hundred
feet on the pitch Of the vein it will put
the fire out"
1t was also stated that all the chutes in
the affected parts are cribbed up with
yellow pine to increase the strength of
the surrounding places, and that will
necessarily furnish the flames with
material
gentleman who seemed TO be we'll
acquainted with the workings said he
feared that before the drowning out pro
cess could have an effect the flames might
work their way above the water level and
that would not ouly be disastrous to the
St. Nicholas colliery and the adjoining
territories, but might spread eastward
throughout the valley.
Last night worbmen were busy dam
ming the creek which flows within few
feet of the 'tender" slope and digging a
trench to carry the water to the column
pipes running down the slope At the
bottom of the trench We're placed wooden
troughs four feet wide, made from planLs

were disconnected at both ends and bar

tanks would not become clogged
