BESSEMER, Ala, March 1.-Two negro workmen are unaccounted for and four others suffering from gas fumes following fire which started at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning in No. 1 slope at Woodward Ore mines on Red Mountain and was only extinguish- ed after closing the slope and fight ing the fire until late into the after noon. ..,..,
 Officials of the company declare the missing workmen may not have been in the mine at the time of the fire. This will not be definitely known until after a complete check, they say.
 The fire originated in pile of cross ties inside the mine, it is said, and spread rapidly to the other wooden part of the slope because of the venti- lation within the shaft.
 Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in reaching the blaze because of the smoke. Workmen found it impos- sible to reach the inside until after the smoke had cleared.
 Damage to the slope will not be great, officials of the mine stated. The fire was confined for the most part to the tracks, and to small portion of the wood supports. -.-. -
 All of the men, with the exception of the two missing, have been revived, the report stated.
