Great destruction op valuable propJirty. All attempts to put OUT ?HE FIRE UNSUCCESSFUL. Ltki-ns, January Btb. Tho Short Mountiln anil Lylions Valloy mlucs which produco 150,000 to 200,000 tons df co.tl a year havo boon on flro slnco Monday afternoon, and tho Lyliena Vulloy coal company which operates tho col.lcrloB has already suflcrcij n loss of Eovcr.il hundred thousand dollars which (iromlses to bo largi'ly-aucmcnt- eu, several inon wno nave uocu unven from llio mines by tho firo aro cngagod day and night In efforts lo stop tho v.orl; of destruction, but tho dlfliculty of reaching It has rendered their labors only partially successful. Tho first four days thoy mado no impression on tho flro. Appearances to-day indlcato that their work Is haying a beneficial effect I but tho temporary check lias not, relieved tho pooplo of tho fear that all tbo collieries in tliio county may bo vlsttedby tho 0ro. They are connect ed by1 subterranean passages, nnd ehouldnn unfavorable draft ensuo thoy would nil bo iu danger of destruction. The principal efforts of tho miners aro directed toward placing obstructions to tho swtep of tho firo eastward, whore tho Blj; Lick and Willlatastown collier ies aro located, thrco or fivo miles above this town. About thirty minors aro constantly stationed in tho Lykens Vnl ley slopo, tu properly handlo tho hoso throUEb which wator is being conduct ed. The sruolio is eo d6nso In tho local ity thtt thoy nro occasionally prostrated by Its effects and dinwn lu cars to tho surfneo to bo rclloved by others. Two email streams hnvo boon diverted from their original channels nnd tho water conducted Into tho burning mines, sev eral linos of wooden troughs carrying It to points where It is supposed to bo most heeded. At tho mouth ot each mine 13 n largo slopo house, Into which cars loaded with coal aro ordinarily hoisted, Thcso structures hnvo been disconnected with tho slopes to savo them from destruction. A similar pro cautitu would havo provented tho burn ing of a lnrge ougltio liouso aud great damaga to tho machinery which cost about' $30,000, Uotweon eighty and ninety umh'3 in tho buriihi,; mines aro supposed to havo been suffocated, all way of ogress having boon cut off by tho firo. That no human lives havo boon lost Is In a great tncasuro attrlbu tnblo'to tho fact that tho tiro occurrod on n holiday whon tho mines wero al most entirely deserted, Thcro Is a dif ference of opinion as to how tbo fire originated. Ono theory is that a spark from r. miner's lamp Matted It, whllu another is that tho heat from ono of tho pumping engines in tho mlco was tho cause. Tho spark spread with romark abio rapidity, ascending to the top of the Short Mountain Slopo, nearly fivo hundred yards from tho supposed point of origin, In Bis or savonhours. In addition to tho largo quantity of coal tiiul timbor consumed, much damage must necessarily havo been done to tho machinery lu tho mines both by firo and wator. Should tho firo bo brought un der control, which is by bo means cer tain, it would be impossible to repair tho damago and resume mining opera tions during tho winter. About nine hundred men wero employed In tho burning mines. Thoro nro four nntlira ctto coal mines In Dauphin county, which employ between ii.GOO nnd 3,000 men. Tho Willlanistowu colliery, fivo miles nbovo this placo, is tho largest In tho world, and producod about 210,000 tons last year, nnd tho year boforo 301, 000 tons. Tho total shipments from tho four mines last year wora 390,000 tons ; a decrease of 123,000 ns compar ed with previous year. Whon tho mines aro kept iu steady operation tho busi ness of this coal region amounts to from fl, 5000,000 to J2.000.000, annual ly. In this town from 133,000 to $40,. nro paid to minora monthly.
