Upon plain and in valley they lay;
He could mount swift horse

That are six feet apart to-day.

BIG GOLD MINE ON FIRE.
Miners at Work Have Close Call
for Their Lives.

Angels Camp, CAL, Aug. 1S-The Utica
mine, the largest producing prop.
erty in California. is on fire Flames and
smoke were discovered coming from the
S00-foot level, station No 4, at 4 O'Clock
this morning. 1t was with difficulty that
the shift made their escape. Six men
were cut of, but made their way through
the south end Of the new shaft. The fire
Is supposed to have originated from spon-
taneous combustion, caused by lard and
coal oil.
1t is impossible at present to estimate
the extent OF the loss that the fire will
cause, but it is safe to say that it will
amount to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Not only are the mine owners
affected but the whole town OF Angels,
which contains population of 5000 or
thereabouJs, who are almost dependent
upon the miners employed lin the Utica
group of mines. There are 1000 men en-
ployed by the company, and should the
hre prove as serious as reported these men
will be left in destitute circumstances.
Every effort is being made to quench
che fire as rapidly as possible. but gas
and smoke ace escaping from all the
shafts which are being rapidly bulk
headed. While stopping up the Utica
shafts several fremen were suffocated.
The mine is being rapidly flooded All
of the main pipes have bee cut and
about 5000 miners inches sof water are
pouring into the shafts. An eight.inch
hose is playing water into the Sickle
shaft, where the fire was first discovered
1t will take at least four days Ito flood
the mine, and it is estimated that in case
no more serious results should happen
afterward, it will take at least two
mouths to pump out the water and fit
the mines for regular operation.
On July 81, 1925, similar fire oc-
Cured, and it was seven weeks before
work could be resumed. The shafts are
deeper now, and it will undoubtedly take
n much longer time.
The Utica mine, which is the largest
quartz gold mine that is worked by chlor-
iination process, containing eco stamps
and fourteen roasting ovens, besides an
immense amount of necessary machinery,
is owed by the Hobart estate. A con-
siderable amount of the property for
merly belonged to the late Senator Fair.
1t is estimated that the net profits of the
mine exceed 81, 500, 00u per annum
