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.
