who understands how to deal with

women.

skirt have gone, but other evils have

OPERATORS BATTLE WITH
FIRE OR SIXTY-TWO YEARS

SUMMIT HILL, Pa, Feb. a.
Mine operators OF Panther Greek val
ley are seeking to conquer the fire
which has been burning sixty-two
years In the mines here which are
owned by the Leigh Coal and Navi-
gution company owners OF the
burning mine thought they had the
fire extinguished, but recently dense
volumes OF smoke were discovered
pouring from the bandoned shafts in
the vicinity OF McCready's old mines.
Flames can'now plainly be seen dur
lnG the night belching from the
earth
During the slxty-two years that the
mines have been afire millions have
been expended by the Leigh Coal
Navigation company and millions OF
dollars worth of coal has been re-
duced to ashes. Powerful pumps for
many years were constantly kept
working at an enormous cost pump
lnS water into the valley in the
hcpes OF getting control OF the fire.
The work, however, proved to bo
without avail.
One million dollars was then ex-
pended TO sink an immense concrete
wall deep down into the earth in
front of the underground conflagra-
tion with the hope OF checking It..
Quite recently all the caves and
abandoned shafts were sealed or fill
ed in to prevent any draughts reach
lns the fire. but this seemed only to
increase the activity OF the flames
The blaze after raging for some
time died out of its own accord and
mine owners thought 1t would be
only a question OF time when work
could be resumed in shafts ada
cent to the fire which had to be
abandoned because OF the intense
heat and danger OF explosions.
The fire breaking out fresh, how
ever will cause renewed efforts on
the part OF the operators to prevent
the fire reaching the rich veins OF
anthracite coal throughout the val
lev and cause the destruction OF mil
lions OF tons more OF coal
