MAY BURN SO YEARS.
A Coal Mine Fire Which Cannot
Be Extingnished.

New York, Aug. 5.-The Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Coal company
will probably have to abandon its Jer-
sey mine at Plymouth to the fierce fire
which has ragged in it for months, says
the Wilkesbarre, Pa, correspondent of
the World. The loss will be several
hundred thousand dollars. Although
skillful fire fighters have endeavored to
stop the spread of the fire, they have
been driven back. They are now com
PEELED to work from the outside. and
are doing little good.
1t is practically impossible to food the
mine. because it is on a high level on
the mountain side, while connected
with it. and on the lower levels of the
valley below, are the Nottingham.
Avondale and No colIieries all of
which would have to be filed with wa
ter before the fire in the mountain
levels of the Jersey could be reached.
This would involve a loss as great as
the value of the Jersey mine
The fire will be allowed to burn itself
out. This will probably take fifty years.
