" MAKES SAUSALITANS SMILE.
Keird Romance Which the "Hew Journal

SAUSALITO, CAL, March 2-There is
indignation in the railroad offices here
over the flake" story printed in the Ex-
,aminer this morning about "a tramp 8
heroic action" in saving the southbound
freight on the North Pacific Coast Rail-
road near Marshalls yesterday morning.
Superintendent E. H. Shoemaker says
the story was evolved out of little incl
dent which occurred near Marshalls.
According to the Examiner landslide
near Hamlet siding had carried away the
ballast between the tracks for a distance
OF fifty feet. Mr.. Shoemaker said this was
not SO; the slide, which was not ten feet
in width, came just to the edge of the ties.
and the track at no poin. was in danger.
Trains had gone over it in safety.
II sent dispatch to the Exam iner cor
respondent last night" said the superin-
tendent, "giving the facts, and to-day this
story was published"
The superintendent said that what
really occurred was that the tramp, while
walking along the track, mad discovered
the slide and informed the operator at
Marshails. The tramp was brought to
Sausalito on the train, and, having rem.
dered the railroad service in reporting
the fact that slide had occurred, and be-
ing without money, Mr.. Shoemaker had
given the man his dinner and lodgings,
and this morning he left for the City.
1t was from this that the Examiner had
woven story full of heroism, but lacking
the essential quality of being true.
The men arriving on the train from
Marshalls this evening say that the slide

of that vicinity to sport with these ready
made bonfires.
The CALL informant seems to be OF the
opinion that the reported volcano in the
lake is one of the gas ana water aeysers OF
magnified proportions, OF probably q
combination of water, fire and gas, a
thing considered not at all improbable by
those who know the geological formation
OF the country from point on the lake
shore opposite Salt Lake City to the
promonitory on the extreme end OF Salt
Lake.
The flows of natural gas now in use in
this city are found near the lake shore
just such a formation as exists in Box
Elder County-and in early days OF ex-
ploration for gas it was no uncommon
thing for men who were boring to see their
derricks and other materials blow into the
air by a sudden and unexpected current.
The greater portion OF the gas flows al
ready struck have been companied by
streams OF thin mud or muddy water,
most of which had a sulphurous smell to
it. Within q distance of two miles from
Salt Lake City and running north for a
distance of two miles further are large
springs of hot sulphur water and mineral
water. At the latter point they disappear.

above Ogden, whence they continue until
Brigham City-opposite which the COM

There is much speculation in Brigham
and vicinity as to the outcome. and if it
be serious there the same conditions may
prevail at the point from which Salt Lake
City gets its natural gas. That the entire
section is volcanic in its nature all geolo-

An old farmer of Box Elder County to-
day expressed the opinion that the up
heaval in the lake was caused by the ex-
plosion of natural gas. Along that
section of the lake shore heavy flows have
been struck, and the gas from them has
been burning for many years. Within a
couple of miles Of the scene of the late
disturbance there are several places on
the shore of the lake, in Box Elder
County, where the gas arises to the sur
face OF the ground in streams of water,
which can be ignited with match. In

If they knew that, they could prevent it,
