The land is muck 20 the depth OF twelve or
fourteen feet. The recent dry weather
has made this peat as intiammable as tin

Altogether, sixty acres have been burned
over, thirty-nye acres having been con-
sumed. while twenty five acres are vet
burning The flames do not break out,
but the whole surface is covered with dense
smoke. the ground al times assuming a
dull red glow. Ii is impossible TO eXtiu-

out by the intense heat, will continue 10
burn until the water line Is reached; the
FIRE will then die out, and when the ashes
blow away there is nothing but 4 large. dry
sink hole as unproductive as an abandoned
gravel pit. Near the burning peat, sepa-
rated only by a ditch. is a tract of 10
acres, an unbroken area OF peat. Should
this take FIRE it will be impossible to save
