The Jerome Fire.

The latest reports from the Jerome fire were to the effect that it had been gotten under control although tie coke on the surface as we'll as the fire in the 145-foot level were still burning. The latter, it is thought, eau be confined to its pres ent location and prevented from spreading through the mine. Owing to a scarcity of water on top salt is being used today to stop the pro gress of the flames. The works have been closed down temporarily, throwing about 1000 men out of em- ployment, except those who are en- gagged in fighting the fire. The burning of the supply of coke and the bins in which it is stored being also destroyed, will cause somewhat of a delay in starting up again, even after the fire has been extiuguished. It is estimated that they will not start up for at least three weeks.
