ticular attention has been paid to the
manner of access to the upper floors and
halls, the stair routes being eight feet in
width.
The second story of the building is de
signed for business offices, while the
third floor will be utilized for lodg-
ings.
The ground floor contains six spacious
storerooms ON Broadway, each 10 by
11S feet in dimensions, and two stores
upol Fourth street, each ID by 60 feet.
They are all supplied with every modern
accessory which subserves convenience
and economy. Access to them is prov i'd
ed in the rear so that merchandise end
commodities may be received and dis
charged without inconvenience to. pedes-
trians in front.
The Office floor OF the building Is
thoroughly modern in all its appoint-
ments, possessing many special features
that are worthy of mention. The halls
are wide, while the inside rooms sur
round an ample court, from which they
gain the second advantage of light and
air that outside rooms afford. A partlc-
ular feature is the construction of the
outer dividing wall of the building. 1t
is SO built that no adjacent building can
hereafter be so erected as to shut off
light and air from the interior rooms.
Recessed air shafts extend from the
second story level to the roof. thus insur-
ing light below, through skylights, and
light and air above through exterior
openings. All rooms upon the second
floor are directly connected with the
halls, there Deinl: no intermediate pas
sages, while intermediate doors make it
posi- BILE to connect all rooms en- suite.
Throughout the upper floors of the
building ample sanitary fixtures have
been provided in separate apartments for
ladies and gentlemen. All halls are
lighted by intermediate light wells, and
are of uniform proportions upon both
floors.
The finish of all offices, stair routes and
lodging apartments is in Oregon pine
and spruce, highly polished and adorned
in appropriate design. The walnscot
ing is on tinted Alpine plaster. done in
rockwork designs The light wells ars
finished in white cement upon iron lath.

fresh air and the richness and deicaoy
of the carpetings. draperies and furni-
ture. All these combine to make the
rooming apartments OF this block de-
lightful. Perhaps the most important
consideration, taking into account the
purpose of the fiat, is its accessibility
and convenience. both within and with
out. The location of this block, IN the
very heart of the business center OF the
city, cannot fail to make it popular with
that class of clerks and professional men
who prefer short walk to tie delay and
annoyance of car transportation. \ half
dozen blocks will take the pedestrian to
his place of business, and he will find
himself much refreshed by the exercise,
as well as much relieved by the exemp-
tion of vexation due to the uncertainty of
street cars.
A novel innovation will be introduced
in this building, namely roof garden
80 feet square. opening from the second
story landing. This luxurious feature
will be fitted with all modern accessories.

NEWS FROM THE OIL FIELDS
Great Interest Created by the New
Discovery
Better Quality Of OH In the Second Sand
Stratum m--Said to Have Parafflne
base-Notes

The reported discovery OF high-grade
oil OF paratfine base, mention of which
was made in yesterdays Herald, brought
a largo number OF visitors to the oil field.
There was general stir among tue oil
men. who spent hours in discussing the
new find and its probable effect on tho
future of the industry.
4 The center of ali this interest 10 the new
well OF Valentine, Richards & Cook, To-
Gated at 359 Metcalf street. They COM
menced work on the we'll about SIX weeks
ago. Ths first oil was struck at 660 feet,
and was the same as that found in other
wells in the field. Boring was continued,
ond sand stratum was struck at about $40
feetdepth. The we'll is now 900 feet down,
and the oil from the lower or second
stratum is flowing in rapidly. There
ara 800 feet OF oil now in the well. Sand
pumping was continued over an hour
Yesterday without reducing the amount.
1t is the intention Of tho owners to SINK
the well as much farther as possible.
They are of the opinion, however. that
the limit is about reached. The pumping
apparatus will probably be put down on
Monday or Tuesday.
The important feature OF this new welt
is the quality OF OIL il produces. When
with sand it has u reddish brown color.
After settling it assumes greenish hue.
An oil man from the Newhall district
says the oil is similar in appearance 10
the Pico canyon OIL. which is OF par
afiine base, and conceded by experts to
be the best oil ON the coast. No scientific
test has yet been made; hence 1t is i'm
possible to determine whether the hopes
of the owners will be realized or not.
Some of the oil men OF the G,strict ex-
press doubts as to the quality of the oil.
Whether it has paraffine base or not, lis
discovery is OF great Importance to oil
producers. as it reveals the fact that bet
ter oil exists in the second sand stratum.
Only one other we'll has been bore! to
this stiatum-that of Flint & Co., on
Omaha street, THE oil from this well is
said to be exceedingly like that just
found. The gravity is about IS, with q
probability of showing up better after all
the sand has been removed.
Gas is found in considerable quantities.
with a tendency TO increase as the well
goes deeper.
Accurate tests OF the new oil will be
made soon. and if it is found to have
paraffine base,a revolution Will be created
in the local oil field.
