FIRE BURNING
TWENTY YEARS
Covers an Area of at Least Eight
Acres at Vir-

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 16-The South
coal shaft ut Virden has been closed
for five days on account of fire break
ing out in the mines. Only by the
hardest kind of work were the mules
rescued from the mines, and the en-
tries were filled with sulphurous smoke.
The fire has been burning for the past
twenty years, and now covers an area
of at least eight acres.
For five days and five nights men
battled with the flames, and have at
last got them controlled and walled in.
The loss to the coal company is very
heavy, as the plant was idle for five
days. There is no way to extinguish
the fire except by flooding the district
on fire, and that would endanger the
entire mine
