the gold seekers.

Employees WIN be Rendered Idle
ANGELS CAMP. Cal. Aug. is--The
great Utica mine is ON fire. Flames
and smoke were discovered issuing
from the sO0-foot level. station No. 4.
at four o'clock yesterday morning. Ii
was with difficulty that the shift made
their escape. Six men were cut off,
but made their way through the south
end OF the new shaft. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from spon-
taneous combu stlon.
1t is impossible at present to es IT,
mate the extent of the loss that the
fire will cause. but il is safe To say
that il will amount to hundreds OF
thousand, of dollars. Not only are the
mine owners affected. but the whole
town of Angels. which contains n pop
ulation of upwards of 5000. who are
almost entirely dependent upon the
miners employed IN the Utica group
OF mile There are 1000 men en-
p'oyed 10y the company. and should the
die prove as serious as reported. these
men will be left in destitute circum-
stances.
Every effort is being made to quench
the fire as rapidly as possible, but gas
and smoke are escaping from all the
shafts. which are being rapidly bulk
headed. While stopping up the Utica
shaft. several firemen were suffocated.
The mine is being rapidly flooded. All
the main pipes have been cut. and
about 5000 miners inches of water are
pouring down the shaft. An eight
inch hose is playing water into
the Sickle shaft, where the fire
was first discovered. IL will take
at least four days to flood
the mine. and 1t is estimated that in
case no more serious results should
happen afterward it will take at least
two months to pump out the water and
fit the mines for regular operation.
On July 81. 1855. a similar fire oc-
Cured. and it was seven weeks before
work could be resumed. The shafts
are deeper now and it will undoubt-
eddy take much longer time.
The Utica mine. which is the larg-
est quartz gold mine that is worked
by chlorination process. containing 200
stamps and IL roasting ovens. besides
an immense amount of necessary ma
chinery. is owned by the Hobart es-
tate. considerable amount of the
property formerly belonged to the
late senator James G.. Fair. II is esti-
mattel that the net profits of the mine
exceed 81, 800, 900 per annum.
