MINE FURNACE BURNED.
Fire Extended to the Mine But
Was Extinguished.

JEROME (Ariz.), June 2S.-Fire
broke out in the United Verde Copper
Company's reverberatory furnace last
night and is still burning fiercely. The
reverberatory is the largest of it's kind
in the United States and is directly I'M
der the railroad track. Back of it a
few feet are number of coke bins. To
the north are the vitals of the mine,
the oower-house, representing an in
vestment of $250,0O0.
The fire ate away the frame work
holding 800 tons of coke and this mass
of inflammable material fell with a
crash on the fire and the whole made
a most intense heat. No effort was
made to keep it from burning the near
by power-house. Tons of the burning
coke fell through an open shaft and
set the 145-foot level of the mine on
fire. But this was controlled after a
six-hours' fight. The loss is not known
at this hour, but it will be heavy and
will fall upon Senator Clark. The fire
originated from friction on one of the
belts on a furnace blower Twelve
hundred men have been thrown out of
employment temporarily
