FIRE DAMAGES MEXICAN
NINE At VIRGINIA CITY,

The fire in the $500 stope of the
Mexican above the ~2,50O-foot level Is
practically out except for shoulder
ing timbers and hot ashes. The hre
was confined to the stope by prompt
action in bulkheading all approaches,
cutting off the supply of air necessary
for combustion, says a Virginia City
dispatch.
1t is expected the stope will be
opened in a few days. as soon as the
working is cleared of smoke and gas.
No damage has been done thus far to
adjoining properties and none is
feared.
II is remembered by old-timers on
the lode that some of the under
ground fires did incomparably great
er damage. because they were not
discovered In time and the means of
preventing their spread were not un-
derstood.
In 1886 fire broke out in the Con-
solidated Virginia, which then was
the biggest producer on the lode.
Before it could be bulkheaded it had
spread into several workings. There
was sufficient air in the chambers,
and reaching it through crevices, to
sustain combustion, and the fire is
still smouldering.
The stope in question was not
worked out when the fire occurred
and considerable ore remained, its
sulphides assisting in keeping up the

fire. Some years ago a drift was run
on the 1,000-foot level of the Con
solidated Virginia for the purpose OF
cutting the orebody above the fire.
but the smoke and fumes inflated
into the heading and the project was
abandoned after a few ears of high
grade ore had been extracted.
AS an evidence of the material on
hand, outside of the sulphur in the
ore, to sustain a fire in the lode, 1t
will be remembered that at n time,
in the palmy days, there were two
trains an hour Owe the Virginia &
lTruckee railroad. and at least 80 oil
them each day were timber trains, the
sum total of the timber placed in the
workings being popularity believed to
be more than sufficient to build a
city the size of San Francisco.
