By the Associated Press BELLAIRE, Ohio, December 24.— Eighty men, working in three shitts, are fighting a fire in the Webb mine at Shadyside, near here, in which nine miners died. Officials expressed the bellef the fire would be ex- tinguished within 48 hours. Jerome Watson, chief of the Ohio Bureau of Mines, is directing efforts. The flames have eaten 200 feet back in the mine, but are confined to the main entry. If they spread, which Watson considers unlikely, the mine will be sealed up. Mine officials, led by Watson and six Ohio mine inspectors, plunged into the fight against the conflagra- tion as soon as the last body was removed. Sixty-one other men, who were working at various places in the mine, made thelr way to safety | through the main entry.
