dous efforts are being made to extinguish
fire that has been burning for forty-two
years in a mine at Summit Hill. The
mine Is the property of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company, and caught fire
on February 9, 1859. in a gangway after
an explosion of gas.
Efforts were made for some time to eX-
tinguish it, but in vain. and as it seemed
impossible to save the workings, they were
at length closed up and abandoned. They
have been on fire ever since, smoke and
steam Continually issuing from the
ground, and at places there were slight
falls where the pillars had been burned
through and allowed the surface to sink
in.
Some time aga it was discovered the fire
was eating it's way into the Spring Tun-

then a determined fight was started. A

TO RAISE COTTON IN AFRICA.
Work of the TuskeEee Party in the
German Colony.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1.-Word has
been received here from the party which
went from the Tuskegee Normal and In
dustrial Institute to undertake the work
of cotton growing in Africa. The men
who had been trained at Booker T--Wash-
ingtons school were selected by the Ger
man Government to direct the expert
ment. Under the leadership of J. n. Cal
loway they sailed from New York on No
vember %, and reached their destination,
the German colony of Togo early in jan
uary. They at once began clearing up
ground for farming purposes, and en-
ployed lao natives. They write that they
have thirty acres cleared. and will have
twice as much ready for cultivation by
the time the rains set in.
The experiment is watched with much
interest in all cotton-producing countries.
for the effect of an African product may
be very important Germany has long de-
sired to find some place to raise her own
cotton; and IL she succeeds, there may be
a loss of trade to both America and Eng
