Gated began to fear the fire would work
on through to other mines, and they
tried to devise some way of stopping its
progress. Accordingly they built a
stone wall around it down through the
mines. This fire wall. when completed,
was more than 1000 yards in length
and from nine inches to five feet thick.
The process of building it was very
slow and fraught with great danger for
the worllmen. 1t was fitted up here
and there with tunnels which Cp"ned
into the region of the fire These could
be securely sealed up at will and af-
forded an opportunity for studying the
progress of the great fire. During all
these years the vegetation on the
ground above was much affected the
earth being rendered SO warm that two
and sometimes three crops could be
raised in a year.
