the transformer house at the App mine
was discovered ablaze, and it required
the combined force about the premises
to confine the fire to the building in
which it started. For time it seemed
that the fire would spread to adjacent
buildings, but this was averted by
hard work The transformer house
was entirely consumed, entailing a
loss of S25OO, partly protected by in
