 Bessemer.
OTHER COMPANIES ACTIVE

Bessemer, December 1S.-(Special-)- Sloss mines, it is not believed by mine employees that there is any serious dan ger of the mines of the Woodward and Tennessee companies being flooded.
 At present the water is about $50 feet from the top of slope No..1 and the water is rising In No. ? at the rate of foot per hour. The water is coming from the slope is 230O feet deep and turns off at 2 right The amount of water in the two mines can be estimated by consider ing the distance from the foot of the slope to where the water ceases to rise and begins to go into No. 2. The water is not rising in No. l but is pouring into No. 9 at the rate of 4700 gallons per minute as estimated by the engineers. However, the miners believe the volume to be greater than this and considering the rate at which it Is rising it seems not unlikely.
 At present the Sloss people have one pump working with capacity of 800 gall Ions per minute. They are installing an- other today that will pump 2oOo, and there are two coming with a capacity of 120o each. With these four pumps working it is not anticipated that there will be any trouble in controlling the water. The mine men are optimistic and Bank Boss Dug Roberts made the following statement this afternoon:
 ''If the stream does not cease or is not controlled there is nothing to stop the water from going into the Woodward mine, but with our pumps working we will not have much trouble in controlling the stream. I believe that It will be only a short time before work is resumed in both mines in spite of all that has been said to the contrary
 The Woodward and Tennessee com panies are building concrete walls fin their slopes in order to be prepared in case the water should reach their mines The water would have to rise 140 feet to come into the Woodward mine through 1S left heading of No. Sloss. concrete wall is being built there four feet thick and 35 feet long. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company is building sim liar wall in No. Feeders, but mine of fcials say that the danger to these mines has been overstated.
