condition of the three-day-Dld
lire in the Sunshine mine of
the Coeur d'Alenes today was
termed "encouraging" by mine
officials although they said that
wuter being pumped on ine

'. Mine Superintendent R. F. Ma-
honey pointed. out that "we are
reasonably sure that the fire had
hot spread any further." He
added:
, "We also are fairly certain
that the fire has not spread to
the east end of the mine." ,

centered in. the east end.
Dams Erected
Mahoney said water poured
on the fire was "buildina ud" in
the mine, and he reported that

fined yet to the 3100 level and
the stopes between the level and
the 2700.

the fire is not yet controlled, the
superintendent said the fire pre
sumably had not spread to
points between the 2700 and
2600 i levels. Referring to re
ports of crews who surveyed the
situation, he said an inspection
trip on the 2500 indicated the
fire had not spread very far to
