SERIOUS FIRE IN A NINE.

Many WoPkmen Have Marrow Es-
eapes from Death ny Sunication-
DENVER. Nov IA special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Aspen. COL.
says:
The tinbers in the lower workings OF the
Smuggler mine are on fire. and notwith-
standing strenuous efforts have been made
all day to check the fire. it seems TO be
gaining Roadway. The damage can not be
estimated at this time, owing to the far
reaching nature of the disaster.
The workmen in the Smuggler and Mol
lie Gibson began to inhale an obnoxious
gas about / o'clock this morning and inn
mediately began q search for its source.
Three hours later II was discovered that
the large crib running between the eighth
and fifth levels was on fire. and
within a short time the workings of the
Moliie Gibson and the Smuggier, above the
S0-foot point. were so impregnated with
the fumes that the miners were driven out.
The M0il!e Gibson psopse then attempted
10 get in buikheads in their connection be-
tween the two properties. The air was SO
foul that twenty-five men were overcome
and fer time II was thought that whole
sale fatality had resulted. AT this time
twelve unconscious men were pulled out
and stretched upon the shaft house floor.
1t required the utmost efforts of physicians
and others for over half an hour to bring
these men around. Ed Hodgson. Moilie
employee, became so dazed that he walked
into a shute. sustaining severe. though
not fatal injuries.
The gas became SO bad about o'clock
that the Mollie was abandoned. In fact.
almost all the men were unconscious or
partially IN. The pump men abandoned
their pumps and left the mine to drown.
Learning of this. Master Mechanic Alex
Carsens. of the Smuggler. crept through
the connection and started them UP again.
This gave the Molhe people new life and
they again tackled the bulkheads and sue
ceeded In getting them in.
Some twenty-five men were overcome at
the Smuggler in an attempt to bulkhead
IN the fire.
Speaking of the situation. Manager Hal
lett. OF the Smuggier. stated that 1t was
most serious.
In fact. said he. there are just two
chances of saving the mine. One is that
our steam connection from below will
prove successful. and the other is that the
tim6ers will burn away sufficiently TO
make an enormous cave-in. and thus
smother the flames
Asked regarding the possibility of hav-
ign TO food the mine. Mr. Hallett stated
that such a course would be a Last resort.
In the event of having to flood the mine.
II will shut down every mine in the camp.
