A COAL MINE ON FIRE.
The fire at the Great Morwell coal mine
is still raging. There is a wall of
fire on one side fully 50 ft. high and
about 100 ft. wide. On the other side the
fire extends for 300 ft. through the slack
coal. Water has to be carted to the scene
100 yards, and the efforts of those trying to
extinguish the fire seem absolutely hope-
less.
