Evanston, Wyo., Dec. 27.-Great ex-
element prevails in Diamondville and
vicinity in consequence of the fire
which started in the Diamondville mine
yesterday afternoon. The cause of the
fire seems to be a mystery. Every eff
fort is being made to extinguish the
fire, which superintendent Sneddons
believes can be controlled and the mine
resume operations in about three weeks.
In the event of inability to control fire,
it is the prevalent opinion that Hams
Fork river, which runs close to the
mine, will be utilized to flood the burn
ing region. One man is reported miss
ing, but whether he has persisted in the
mine is impossible to determine ut pres
ent.
This is a very valuable property con-
trolled by Marcus Daily, and is the
mainstay of the town of Diamondville
and the principal producer for the coal
supply of the Anaconda smelters.
