The Eldorado Mine Fire.
(Per j. J ress Association). Sydney, July 26. There is little change in tho fire at Broken Hill. Extensive blastings are being continued, but as one vent is closed it breaks out in others. A fireengine will be lowered dowu the cliff, and carbonic acid gas tried again tomorrow on an extensive scale. Tbe opinion is gaining ground that the present tactics will have to be abandonee]. Those who have had similar experiences are urging the construction of a wall at each side to shut the fire in, then open all the vents, and encourage it to burn itself out. Melbourne, This Day. Strenuous efforts are being made to reach the victims of the Eldorado ac- < cident. Relief drives are nearly completed. The boring rods, however, show ' that the sludge is still in a dangerous fluid state.
