BURNING AFTER SIXTY YEARS

Summit Hill, Pa.-Engineers of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company are making herculean efforts to eX- tingush the fire which has been burn ing for sixty years in coal mine here. Seven mine locomotives and three steam shovels are in operation and a large force of men is at work driving deep holes into the earth, into which culm and water are being sluiced.
 Millions of gallons of water are be- ing pumped daily into crevices and holes, and the issuance of steam indi- cates that the fire is burning in spots which had long been considered burned out.
 The gigantic effort the company is making to eXtinguish the fire for all time will probably cost l million dol lars, but that sum is insignificant when compared with the damage the fire would do if it should spread into the valley and ignite the mammoth veins running throughout the Panther Creek
