COLORADO'S BURNING MOUNTAIN.
It Has Been On Fire for Over a Hundred
Years.
A mountain, which has been on lire
for more than one hundred years, is
situated just west of here, iro close is
it that its.shadow envelopes the town
at o p. in. at this time of the year, ami
yet the people hereabouts think 110
more of it than of the beautiful tlrand
river which washes the feet of the huge
1 nile where the lire has burned so lung.
To the tenderfoot, however, the glittering
patches of deep red tiro, where it
breaks out on the side of the mountain.
and is exposed to view, -there is
nothing in all this state quite its equal.
' he tire is fed by a big vein of coal
which the mountain contains. Just how
the coal became ignited is not known.
The oldest resident says it was o:> lire
when he came here, and the Ute Indians,
who once lived in this section,
say it was burning many years before
the first white man crosseti xue conuuentul
divide. The supposition is that
the coal was ignited by a forest tire at
an early date in the present century.
It has smoldered and steadily burned
until this day. At night. when the
uioon is dark, is the best time to see
the fire. Then it is that it resembles
the regions of inferno as given us In
the word-painting of Dante. The
earth covering the coal is loosened by
the heat and falls away, exposing the
sheet of fire.
The escaping gas probably assists in
stripping off the rocks and dirt, and
wherever the vein of eoal approaches
the surface the fire can l?e seen. The
Erst tire I saw was fully .">0 feet square.
It had a peculiar red tint, while the
burning gas coining up at the base of
the coal vein added a bright blue color
Ing to the scene. In many places the
surface of the mountain has sunken,
showing where the tiro has burned out
Its course.
Efforts have been made to extinguish
the lire, fc-ome time ago n company
which owns a large amount of
coal land here constructed a ditch from
a point several inilos above the mountain
into which it succeeded in turning
the water which goes to form Eik
creek.
Previously a shaft had boon sunken
In the mountain, and into this shaft
the water was permitted to flow. The
shaft was soou titled, but the life was
above the level of the water, ami the
effort was a failure.?Newcastle correspondence
