FIRE RAGING IN
 SUMTER MINES
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO Ex- TINGUISH FLAMES IN BLUE CREE DISTRICT, BUT THE TASK IS A DIFFICULT ONE.

Bessemer. February 14.-(Special. )-Fire which broke out in Sumpter mines of the Blue creek division Sunday night is still raging. Fire fighting apparatus and fire men have been sent to Sumpter on a special train and every effort is being made to extinguish the flames. It will probably take some time to get the fire under control and the damage will be considerable.
 The fire fighters are exerting every effort to check the flames before they spread to the adjoining mines. As three mines are connected with each other the danger of the fire spreading is said to be grave
 The walls between the burning mine and the other mines are being plugged and the Sumpter mine is being flooded with water.
 As 1t is impossible to enter the mine, one account of the flames and dense smoke. an estimate as to the probable damage can not be made.
