SUMMIT HILL FIRE KING"
OF Mine FIRES STILL BURNS
Has Been Brought Under Control However, After Blazing
for 81 Years Destroying Millions of Tons
of Anthracite Coal

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. THE Sum
nit Hill fire the king" of all mine
fires Isl still burning, but it is we'll
under control, according to a recent
announcement by the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company on whose prop
erty flames have been eating up mil
lions of tons of anthracite coal for the
last siXty-two years. While this one
has been brought under control, an
other mine fire which mas been burn
ing nineteen years near Mount Car
mel Pa, in the heart of the lower an
thracite fields, is still trying to spread.
a third fire, which has been raging
for three years, in the Red Ash vein
of the Red Ash Coal company on the
Wilkes Barre mountain, has made
it necessary to close the old Giants
Despair road known to many automo-
bilists because of the hill climbing
contests that have been held upon 1t.
The Summit Hill fire IN the Panther
Creek valley between Lansford and
Coaldale, was discovered in February.
1853, in an abandoned gangway. The
hard coal dips from 20 degrees to
about 20 degrees and is about so feet
thick. The area involved is about one
mile long by 1,500 feet wide. How
many millions of tons of coal have
been consumed has never been ac-
curately ascertained, but 1t has cost
the company more than s3,000,oOO to
fight the longburning fire.
In the early sixties an open cut was
made in the involved area which
seemed to isolate the flames for many
years, but eventually the fire travelled
past this cut into the coal areas be-
yond. Many efforts were made to
check the flames but to no avail until
about 1910 when a concrete and clay
barrier about twelve feet thick, 10
feet deep and 700 feet long, was built.
The fire travelled so rapidly that 1t
pressed closely upon the location OF
the new barrier before the work was
completed and the heat becam so in
tense that men could work only twenty
minutes relays. The barrier eventu-
ally checked the progress of the fire.
In order to insure against further
spread the coal company has been
stripping the ovcrburden from the coal
west of the barrier. This operation
has been in progress nine years and
when completed the company officials
hope tho fire will be certain to be
under control The cost of the strip
ping operation. involving the removal
of 3.500.o00 cubic yards of material, it
is estimated, will approximate s2,1oo,-
