only wAy for getting air into tbe shaft was
through tho main opening, aud thut was
filled with burning limbers, debris and
ilumes; it is feared the whole number have
been suffocated by smoke, or perished for
want of air. The Ore departments of Sctan-
ton, Wilkesbarre and Kingston are playine
streams down tho shaft for the purpese of
quenching tbe fire tbcre, so that tbe rubbish
cun bo cleared out, and the condition of tbo
