GOLD MINE ON FIRE.
j" PER PRESS AS 8 OCI ATI OH. J
THAMES, Sept 19.
A fire has been raging since Sunday morning in the old workings of the Caledonian Mine at No. 1 level, in the vicinity of the famous run of gold where thousands of tons of firewood have been utilised in filling up the slopes. It is likely to burn for some time, there being no means of checking its spread. Waitobi, Golden Crown, Caledonia and other mines are prevented from working owing to a consequent rise of gas, and over seventy men are thus temporarily thrown out of employment.
