SPRING HILL CoLLIERY ON FIRE
Great Mine in Nova Scotia the Scene
of IL DisusIer.

NOta SCOTIA the Scene
of ~ Disaster.
HALIFAX, n. s., Dec. 26.-Another great
disaster has oyertaken the Spring Hill coal
mines. Just five years ago the mines were
wrecked by great explosion and 1870 lives
lost. II took the best part of year to get
the colliery in working order again. 1t was
splendidly equipped, gave employment to
1000 men In the pits and had an output OF
$4,000 tons year. From the meager dis
patches received, 1t appears that fire had
complete possession OF the underground
working OF two Of the three slopes.
About o'clock Thursday evening the
coal mines at Spring Hill were discovered to
be on fire. The fire. originated in the pipe
way of the east slope in the S00-foot level
1t soon ate its way into the 1,300-foot level
and developed into raging furnace. When
Government Inspector Gipin arrived fire was
Issuing from every opening OF the mine.
Two cupOlas were burned down and the
bankhead had to be torn away. The
miners worked hard to save their source OF
livelihood. but all their efforts in that direc-
ton were fruitless. They tried to prevent
the air going into the mine by stopping up
every airway. Mr.. Gilpin had to call the
men from their work. as 1t was attended
with great risk to their lives, should an
