BIG NINE FIRE AT HAzELTON.
The Hazel Slope of the LehiGh Coal Co.
las Been Burning for Six Weeks.


The Hazel Slope of the LehiSh Coal Co.
las Been Burning for Six Weeks.
A Million Dollar Loss.
Hazelton. Pa, March 10.-The worst
mine fire in the anthracite region is
now raging in the Hazel slope OF the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company. When
the fire broke out six weeks ago, it was
thought to be of little consequence.
Since then hundreds Of thousands of
dollars have been spent in efforts to
subdue the flames. The chances of get
ting the fire out in the next six weeks
are dubious. and the probable loss of
the company cannot be estimated. The
mine was the deepest operated by the
company, and was one of the most val
liable. employing some LOCO men. The
destruction of this great colliery is not
alone threatened now, but those ad-
Joining it are imperiled. The subter-
ranean openings connect the Hazel
mines with three other valuable coal
properties. and the effects of the fire
are now being felt there. At the Laurel
Hill colliery the mules have already
been hoisted from the mines owing to
the high water and to keep that place
from drowning out, every effort is now
being eXerted To remove the water
alone from the mine will cost a snug
fortune. and it is estimated that be-
fore the outbreak itself shall have been
overcome S1,0O0,OO0 will have to be
eXpended

White Oak, N. NJ, March 1O.-At 3
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the change room of the hoist house Of
the Old Abe mine and in few minutes
the structure, a large, well-bulit one,
was a mass of flames. 1t was COM
pletely destroyed, together with the
wood and smith shops. The mill,
sixty feet away, escaped without dam
age. The woodwork of the shaft was
burned out and the hosting machine
destroyed The damage runs high up
into the thousands, but the most dis
tressing feature is that some OF the
men are imprisoned in the dark depths
and their fate is unknown. There is
little ground for hope that they have
escaped SuffOcatiOn. 1t will not be
possible to enter the mine to search for
them until some time tomorrow.
Rescuing parties have been unable as
yet to get down further than the third
level by the air shaft The smoke and
gases from the charred wood of the
moist shaft has penetrated the upper
levels and it is impossible 10 pass
them. The entombed men are:

rick are old in mining experiences,
and have faced like dangers before.
They are cool-headed, and if any place
of safety was to be found. they found
il. The fire broke out while G.. E. Will
kinson was going down in the bucket
to work. He had reached the ninth
level when the hoist was abandoned,
and was shot down 2e0 feet to the
thirteenth level, where the bucket
struck. slipped and threw him into
the drift. He was stunned, but recov-
cred and climbed back to the second
level and escaped by the air shaft.
Coke Keith, Mike Gallagher and An
ton Howgate escaped through the air
shaft This is the only serious min
ing accident since the burning of the
south Homestake shaft, several years
ago, when two men were smothered.

A Word to the Boys.

IF YOU have anything to do, do it at
once. Don't sit down in the rocking
chair and lose three-quarters OF an
hour in dreading the job. BE sure that
it will seem ten times harder than ~
did at first. Keep this motto. BE qn
time, in small things as well as great.
Habit is everything. The boy, who is
behind time at breakfast and school
will be sure to get cleft" in the impor-
tant things of life. If you Lave a
chronic habit of dreading and putting
off things make great effort to cure
yourself. Brace up! Make up your
mind that you will have some back
bone. Depend upon it, that life is very
much as YOU make it. The first thing
to decide is, what will you make it.
The next things is to take off your coat
and 90 to work. Make yourself neces-
sary somewhere. Fhere are thousands
of boys and young men in the world
who wouldn't be missed if they were
to drop out of it tomorrow. Don't be
Que of thistsort. BE a power in your
own little world, and then, depend
upon it, the big world will hear from
you later Oh in life.
