BURN YEARS
Walled up Years Ago, Coal
Conflagrations Eat Way
Slowly Underground :
. SPRINGFIELD, 111.,' Feb. 7.
By The . Associated Press). :-
Fires burning .for .years in, coal
mines, . deep, beneath, the ground;
are: one of .the unsolved problems
.of coal mining, in Illinois. : -
..' Mapy of .the- fires, .walled ftp
yescrs ago,-,, recently have caused
trouble In southern Illinois mines,
according to Robert. M. Medill, di
xector pf the state department of
mines and minerals.. 1 : :
; ;. The Donk ,i Brothers, mine at
Oollinsville, the North Mine ot the
Illinois and Indiana Coal corpor
ation at Witt, and . several mines
near. Springfield have been com
pelled recently to .seal up portions
of their workings to prevent the
spread -of these smouldering' fur
naces, which burn : without stop
ping in the hidden .chambers un
derground. One mine was ordered
closed entirely, ' ' ,
. The fires start in the , refuse
which. is left after the coal is dug
and are caused by a process simi
lar to spontaneous cdmbustion,
according to Mr. MedllL The min
ers call them "gob fires," from
the word applied , by coal diggers
to the, debris In the mine. '
f r. . ; J. Water Is TJeloa
i They do not flare, up in flame,
but v burn slowly, smouldering
away for , years- until they, eat
themselves out of fuel.: Chambers
where: these fires start become a
mass of live red coals and. must
be sealed up to keep the air from
them.: i j"; '- ,.- x . . - . .
The' trouble is caused when a
fife eats Its way. through a wall
and threatens to break through
Into the . mine workings. . Some
times . the smouldering coals eat
up the supporting ccal .pillars re
sulting in weakening -the support
for. the ground above. .,
a 1 These fires- cannot be extin
guished by water, Mr. Medill stat
ed, f Water , only .- makes them
worse.- It is 'the chemicalization
resulting from the mixing of
water and the-refuse that causes
the original combustion. The. only
way to stop the fires Is to remove
the burning coals, from the mine'
Many such .fires may be seen ori
slack piies on the surface In this
section of : the state, .These can
be flooded with water .and extin
guished, Mr. Medill stated. -
