Rich Hill, Mo., February 27.— Keith & Perry's No. 6 mine caught fire about 6 o'clock last evening. The fire originated in the under- ground stables, about 40 feet north of the bottom of the shaft, and but for the prompt action of a young Swede the mules would have been burned. The men fought the fire until 1 o'clock this morning, when they were driven out by the smoke. The mine was then closed, with the hope that the fire could be smother- ed. The mine will be opened to- morrow morning, and if the fire has not subsided they will endeavor to extinguish it with foree pumps and hose, and in the event this fails the mine will be flooded, asa last re- sort. If this is done it will be two months before work can be resumed, and will result in a great loss to the company. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Larsr—The fire was extinguished Monday morning and work has been resumed, J. K.
