Officials of the company declare the

This will not be definitely known -until
after a complete check, they say.
The fire originated in a 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

wood supports.
