FIRE CONTINUES IN
OLD CORONADO MINE

( METGALFE, Sept, .6.-Mine. Super
intendent P. B. Scotland yof the Arit4
zona Copper Co., Ltd,} with his force
of firefighters and helmet men, who
have been engaged for the past ten
days in an endeavor to fix the loca-
ton of the fire burning in the Coro-
nado mine, in statement said that
as yet his force had been unable to
locate the fire exactly, and the indica-
tions were that the mine would be
idle for several months.
The fire is still serious and is evi-
.dently burning with the same inten-
sity as reported last week. Smoke
and heavy gas continue to permeate
the mine and seriously interfere with
the progress of the firefighters. 1t is
generally conceded that the fire is
burning in the timber mat above one
of the slopes, but just where is the
problem.
Fire Expert Mitke who is retained
by the several large mining compa-
nies of the state to direct fire-fighting
operations where his services are re-
quired, has arrived in the district and
is on the ground at the Coronado as
sisting Superintendent Scotland.
Bulkheading of the several levels is
in progress and the fans are being op-
Grated, but with small success. If the
fire continues, the work of bulkhead-
ing the several openings will require
at least sixty days longer.

for the Belgian relief committee
Some time ago he rendered his serv-
ices to the American Red Cross soci-
ETY. in any capacity in which he might
prove useful.
Mr.. Douglas large mining and busi-
ness interests in the southwest will
be in competent hands, so that he
does not feel any of them will suffer
as consequence of his departure, no
matter how long he may remain in
Europe.
Mrs. Douglas and James, the young
er son of the family, accompanied Mr.
Douglas to New York, and will go to
Mt Clair, N. j., where the boy will

OLD HACKBERRY
MINE GREAT THING

KINGMAN, Sept. 6.-The old Hack
berry mine, under the management of
William Neagle, is proving to be one
of the great properties of the county.
Everywhere that openings have been
made in the vein new and better ore
bodies have been found On the 300
level the ore body has widened out to
better than IA feet, every foot of it
being high-grade milling ore. Some
exceptionally rich lenses of silver ore
have been opened, some of which give
values as high as $500 per ton.
G. S. Holmes and wife of Salt Lake
City were in Kingman early this week
and paid the blackberry a visit. Mr..
Holmes is the chief stockholder of
the company, and it. is due to his eff
forts that this big old mine was res
urrected from the discard and brought
to it's present state of development.
