INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Fire In n Mine at Summit Hill
Which Has Been Burning
Since 1850 Method of
Extinguishing It.
Concerning the lire in the mine at
Summit Hill. Carbon county, which ban
been raging since 1859 Hon, Lemuel
Hlley, president of tho Lehigh Coal and
Navigation companv writes:
"On the subject of tho mine fire on
this company's propel ty nt Summit
Hill. I would say that I cannot find a
record of anv repot t having been pub
lished on this .subject, with the excep
tion of a statement made In the annu
al report of the company In the yeiir
ls."9. In which was the following:
" 'In the month of February. 1S59. a
Pre from some unknown enure broke
out In the rubbish of tin iibandoned un
derground working, near old slope No.
1; which, in spite of all the attempts
to extinguish It. has made some head
way since; foitunately Its locality Is
confined to u portion of the mine al
ready worked out. and therefore of not
much Millie. Measures will shortly he
taken to prevent the lire from extend
ing to the working minis. It can
doubtless be kept under control, nnd
will be ultimately extinguished.'
'Since that time the lire has been
burning with more or less vigor, nnd
has extended over an area of about 1.1
acres, nil of which had keen previously
mined over. During the last two year.
,i number of bore holes have been driv
en from the surface which are used
for passing line coal dirt and water Into
th" mine for the purpose of sdushit'g
the openlngj where the fire might ex
ist. "Tills tirocess has met with ruccess.
and the area of the lite has been great
ly contracted until we now have it
under control, and hope within :i short
time to have It entirely extinguished.
Wh"n this Is accomplished, the mining
operations will be resumed in the burnt
dlstilct. and It is believed that a veiy
large amount of coal which was left
in the enrlv mining operations, and
which has not been destroyed by lire,
will be recovered "
