ROCK THAT IS PURE QUARTZ

Jack Hayes of the harbor police is no
longer silver man, IN fact he is a decided
gold bug. His change of metallic prefer
ence took place a day or two ago. Mr..
Hayes lives in Sausalito among the charm
ing Hurricane Gulchers.
A creek runs behind Mr.. Hayes cottage
and in bis wanderings along its bank Mr..
Hayes has observed the presence of old
fashioned, gold-bearine quartz in large
quantities. Mr.. Hayes knows this rock to
be gold quartz, because when he was
younger he spent many prosperous hour
prospecting on Pixies Peak and vicinity
for this same metal.
Day before yesterday Mr.. Hayes said to
his wife, az believe l will experiment. a
little" Accordingly he shouldered a
shovel and hung therefrom large pan.
He filled the pan full of the promising
looking earth and Graded it out in the
good old way. Mrs. Hayes, who tells the
remainder of the story, says she heard
shouting in the neigh borhood OF the creek
and saw her husband rushing toward the
house, hatless, shovelless but bearing in
his hand the large pan half full of the wet
earth.
AS soon as Mr. Hayes reco Ved his breath
sufficiently he gasped, 'Look at this, and
held up 10 the aston1shed gaze or his vile
TWO good-sized nuggets of pure, yellow
gold. Mr.. Hayes is now negotiating to
buy the lot that adjoins him on the creek
side.

"but it seems dearer to me now than ever
before. But l hardly think there is very

nuggets in the bed of the creek. 1t may
have been washed down from up higher
on the ridge.
"All the land around here was first
bought by man named Miller as mining
property. 1t was subsequently sold to
the Sausaito Land and Ferry Com pany.
The ground upon the ridge about seven or
eight years ago was quite extensively pros
pected for gold, but whether much was
found or not do not know. There may,
of course, be nothing in this; still, next
Sunday, when have leisure, intend to
thoroughly examine the locality and wash
quantities of the gravel. Even if it has
washed down from above the creek is
deep enough in gravel to contain snug

The two nuggets found by Mr.. Hayes
are about as large as huckleberries. He

One-haH of the West Coast Furniture
Company's factory on Fourth and Bryant
streets was destroyed by fire last night
The blaze caused three alarms to be
sounded from box 63 after 1920 O'Clock.
No sooner had Assistant Chief Engineer
Dougherty, who is acting as Chief during
the absence of Chief Sullivan, reached the
locality ;han he realized 1t was a danger
Gus blaze, and had to be conquered
quickly or it would spread.
He Immediately caused second alarm
to be turned in, which brought eleven
engines.
The building is large brick structure
in the shape of an L, four stories on the
Fourth-street side, three on the Bryant
street front. The former is filled with a
large stock of furniture and the latter part
is where the rough material was worked
up.
1t was in this part that the fire was
located, near the boiler-room, and it
spread through the shavings and infiam-
mable material with alarming rapidity.
Ten minutes after the second alarm
the third was turned in, and seventeen en-
gine companies were soon at work pumping
thousands of gallons of water through the
windows into the fire, which was fortu-
nately confined within the brick walls.
In the yard between the L and the street
was the principal seat of operation. Half
a dozen streams were "siamesed" and
the column of water was directed against
the flames, which were steadily progress
ing toward Bryant street.
Lines of hose was carried to the roof of
a couple of small buildings in the yard
and to the top of the main building from
which they were brought to bear upon the
monstrous furnace below.
On the south side of the building is a va
cant lot, and there the water-tower took
up its position and poured a powerful
stream into the windows. Another stream
was directed into the building from the
Perry-street end, which prevented any
spread in that direction.
For time it was feared that the flames
would get into the main building, not
withstanding the heavy brick fire wall that
separates the two parts Had the flames
reached the varnish-room there would
have been a merry blaze, and nothing
short of the total destruction OF the build
ing and contents and probably a part of
the surrounding buildings would have
been the result.
But the fremen held their own and Kept
the fire confined in the south L. At mid
night they had the blaze under control.

Armes Dallam occupied a part of the
building in the rear, and this place with

A VICTIM OF FIRES.
Emanuel & Co. Have Had Run of
Very Bad Luck.

The fire fiend seems to have camped
upon the trail of E. and L. Emanuel.
This is about the fourth time they have
been eurnt out. Several years ago their
building at the same place was wiped out
by blaze. Eight years ago the scene of
last night was enacted in the south l.,
nearly the whole of that part going up in
smoke.
The big Bancroft fire on Market street
will long be remem bered. 1t started in
EmanuePs furniture store in that fatal

fires in the factory during the past six
years, but none of serious nature.

LIMITING THE EXPENSE
A Trifle Only to Be Charged Produc rs
For Selling Oil
Another Mass Meeting Of Well Owners Held
Last Evening-Additional Sig
natures Obtained

The members of the-Oil Exchange and
| the producers held another meeting last
evening at the rooms of the board of trade,
at the corner of First street and Broadway.
The gathering was quite we'll attended.
The spirit of enthusiasm evidence by all
with regard to the agreement that has
been presented whereby unity of action
will be secured by the oil producers in the
matter of disposing of their oil was most
gratifying.
DIR. Davidson presided over the meeting
last night and Major Cochrane acted as
secretary.
Several suggestions were made whereby
the contract approved Monday evening
could be amended and made stronger.
The suggestion that a clause be inserted
whereby the commission or expense of the
oil exchange in disposing of the oil of sign
ers to the agreement be limited to not more
than 5 per cent of the amount realized
from the sale of the product was discussed.
1t was afterward approved and made part
of the agreement.
All the oil of the signers to the agreement
is to be solely disposed of through the ex-
change, and the sales will be made at the
lowest possible expense to the producers,
but by this provision even that expense is
limited to per cent, and if that amount is
not expended it will not be charged.
Several other immaterial changes in the
agreement were made, the object being to
more clearly set forth the objects, pur-
poses and results expected to be accom-
plished by the organization.
Those members who had been present.
ing the agreement to producers for their
signature reported most satisfactory pro-
gress. There is already better feeling
evident among we'll owners. Signatures
thus far obtained represent about 90 per
cent of the oil production of Los Angeles
city.
number of signatures to the agreement
we're obtained last evening, and everything
looks very bright to those who have la
bored so diligently to make this latest
move of the oil producers success.

E. A. Beardslee, local manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company:
EDITOR HERALD: Referring to an item
in yesterdays Associated Press claiming
the Postal Telegraph company to have had
the only wires working east of Chicago.
the vice president and general superin-
tendent authorizes me to say that while the
Western Union Telegraph company has
had some Interruptions east it is far from
being interrupted as indicated in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch alluded to and busi-
ness is being promptly moved to all points.
The Western Union company received and

company had line working east.
