Il is stated that hre has been
smouldering in the Royal Gorge for
The last eight years: II having first
manifested itself in 1909 when the
property was operated under the su'
pervision of E. C. Bettis. Until few
DAYS ago. however. II did not become
n matter OF serious concern as no ef
fort was made TO work that portion
where it existed and II was not OF
| sufficient magnitude to create fumes
or gases to annoy miners In Other
levels and entryways. The opinion
was expressed this morning BY Mr.
Herman Loehr, who has general over
sight OF the property. that thee wa'
somewhere an air passage between

its ravages could be controlled az u
preclude IL from doing very serious
damage.
: Fire In a coal mine may be started
in variety of ways. sometimes b,
blasting and from the combustion
from the inherent neat of the Goa
itself but they are of rare occurrenc,
and have seldom occurred in the Ere
r.ont county fields. In some instancei
Horizons OF Goa, mines have beer
known to burn for years without de

There is every reason for the be
lief that the fire in the Royal Gorg,
mine will be under control In a shor
time. The company had ore hundre,
and seven men at work today.
