One of the largest coal mines in
the Lambert district is now in flames
What is known as the Wyatt coal
mine ten miles southwest of Lambert
caught on fire about a week ago by
some unknown cause and is now burn
ing furiously, helching forth a vol
ume of smoke that reminds one of a
volcano in action. This mine was

rented had opened up another mine
nearer to town. 1t is claimed that the
Wyatt mine has twenty foot vein
of coal that is of very good quality
and it is indeed a great loss to the
country as it appears the flames
cannot be extinguished. - Lambert
