Scranton, Pa., March H Property
valued at hundreds of thousinvls of dol
lars Is threatened with destruction, and
the only seeming remedy is a ditch or
trench, the excavation of which will cost
at least $i00,000, as a result -of a mine
fire "now raging In the mine of the Finn
Coal company, in Carbondale.
Not willing to stand by-and see their
properties destroyed, a number of the
residents . of that part of Carbondale
have asked the court u compel the con
tinuation of efforts to cut off the fire,
and testimo; y la now being taken In
the cina hAfnr. .Tndffe Neweornb
The fire ,1-; on a tract of coal land
owned by the Daniel Scurry and W.
Watt ' estates. It originated in 1892,
being caused, ft Is supposed, by -ne
dumping of red-hot ashes in holes made
by stripping:.
No notice was taken of it at the time,
and it continued to spread, extending
into the culm dump and, finally, Into;
the mine workings, where at the pres-
enf time lt is consuming the coal at the
rate of manv tons a day. In 1904 an
effort was made to check the fire, and
a trench several-hundred feet long, 30
feet deep, 20 feet in width and 70 at
the top was excavated, at a cost of
$20,000. The fire simply Jumped the
trench and continued on its way.
- In a suit before the Lackawanna
county court ". property owners pleaded
that effort to check the fire be con
ttnued. and in support of their content
lion declare that .there are 100 resi
dences, many of them the finest in Car
bondale, within 1,000 feet of the fire,
and that lt Is daily spreading In their
direction. In some Instances th fire is
within 200 feet of the. house.
