sinking "a Well.


Belt Jan. 30.-On account of the scare
ity of water the Anaconda company has
been sinking a new well down back of
the coke ovens and several hundred feet
from the creek bed. After going down
about Is feet through gravel and sand
fthey came to "A streak of slate-colofed
clay. To ascertain. if possible, what the
thickness of this clay streak might be. a
three-nch pipe was driven into it TO a
depth of two and one-half feet, when ii
broke through into a channel or body of
water and quicksand. When the pipe
was removed the water came boiling up
through the hole and with it numberless
small fishes. varying in size from two TO
six inches in length. The fish are very
much alive and apparently in fine condi-
ton.
about two miles above Aiming ton just
below where the Otter empties into Belt
creek the water sinks away into the
ground. 1t makes its appearance again
in the bed of the creek about five miles
below Belt. 1t is believed that in sinking
this we'll the underground channel of the
creek has been found. How the fish came
there and how they manage to live thus
shut away from the light and air is
matter for conjecture. BY those who
profess some knowledge of such things
ii is claimed the spawn of the fish is car
ried through the gravel, by the water,
into the underground cavities, where they
hatch and the finny little fellows live and
die without seeing the light of day,
enough food and air being carried in with
the water to supply their meager wants.

Two Fires Quickly Extinguished.
pARN or JOHN n, PITY.

I The great utility of the water works
in case of fire was forcihly demon
strated on Monday afternoon. At
about five o'clock the barn Of John Is.
Pittz was discovered to be on fire;
and the alarm being given members of
| the volunteer fire company assembled
at the city hall, and hitchinS the hose
cart to Nick Lindeu's dray, were
quickly upon the scene and had a
strong stream of water playing upon
the burning building.
Although the barn was filled with
hay and the fire was under full head
way, good deal of the building
being burned away and some of the
contents consumed, the flames were
quickly subdued and the fire eNtin-
guished.
The barn was situated in close proN-
| unity to other frame buildings, and
these to more substantial structures;
and it was very fortunate indeed that
the means were at hand to put the fire
out before it had spread further. The
cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is about 800, with no Insurance..
JOHN II. ToAY's POULTRY HOUSE.
Another fire broke out little be-
fore noon on Thursday. a frame
building situated in rear of John Il.
Toay's store, and used as house in
which to dress poultry, took fire and,
as the wind was blowing briskly from
the south, made rapid headway; but
again the hose cart was promptly on
hand. and stream of water was
turned on and put out the fire. 1t Is
supposed this fire caught from the re-
mains of a bonfire. During the morn
ing some rubbish had been burned
near by; and it is probable the strong
wind which sprung up blew the embcrs
against the building.
