AN EMERGENCY MEASURE.
Better Fire Protection and Pressure
Equalization For the Pipes.

Superintendent Caine of the waterworks
department has perfected the execution
of a commemorate plan for keeping the
brick tank in City Creek canyon well
filled with water When a fire breaks out
in the business part of town and the lower
residence district or in other cases of
emergency requiring a strong pressure or
a normal supply in the pipes of the middle
system. Another advantage will be the
equalization of the pressure between, the
middle and lower systems and the high
line which latter system, because of get
ting the first water from the creek, has
been having too much pressure and sup
ply to the detriment of the other parts of
the city. The means employed for ac-
comprising these ends is the tapping of
the high line main with a siX-inch pipe,
the flow being regulated as needs require
The advantage of this connection, lead
ing to the brick tank over a ditance of
less than 100 feet, is apparent, especially
in view of the fact that the diversion of
Parleys creek water by Mrs. Dudler left
the city very short of water last night.

bushels, drilled and undrilled. Two
other deposits yielded upward of 100-
600 pearls. 1t is noticed as a remark
able fact that pearls have never been
found in isolated mounds, nor out of
the great mound groups They seem
TO have been used by the more cultured
tribes, and are an evidence of extern
siVe trade and barter.

Many fine pearls are still obtained
in this country from time to time, de-
rived from fresh-water musselS and
every now and then a great excitement
on the subject arises, large numbers Of
persons foTsaking their regular avoca-
tons to fiSh for pearls. In 1857 a pearl
OF fine luSter, weighing SO grains, was
discovered near Paterson, N. ]. 1t was
sold to the Empress Eugene of France
for $500, but today it is worth four
times that sum. Quite a craze for pearl
hunting followed this find" and
large, round pearl, weighing 400 grains,
which would doubtless be the finest
pearl of modern times, was ruined by
boiling to open the shell.
The latest pearl fever is now on in
Arkansas, where many remarkably fine
specimens have been obtained already
1t seems that in White county, for d
long time past, the native pearls have
been Familiarity known, being picked up
by the country people and used as play
things and ''luckstoneS'' among the

Rural boys have had pearls in their
possession up to so grains in weight,
which they have utilized as marbles.

ANCIENT FIREMEN ACCOMPANIED BY
 OLD-TIME MACHINES,
rIartin Van Buren's Engine Contrasted With the New

The third division was organized and ready to move long previous to the .s- suance of the order to advance. When the clarion notes of the bugle sounded for the third to join the line of march it was about 10:40 a. m. The division rested on Spear street, its right ex- tending to Market, and when the order came it was the work of only a few minutes to swing the columns into the city's main thoroughfare and it then continued on its scheduled route.
 Men in the strength of youth, in the prime of life and in the gloaming of human existence; fire-fighting machin- cry with the rust of a hundred years upon it and again mighty constructions of steel, fresh from the painters brush, made up the third division. At the head of the column rode Marshal Colo nel J. H. Burns. Behind him, in com

A spanish navigator float was in the line Of march, and float representing Cal averas County was one of the features of the day.
 On the platform drawn by four horses a large skull. golden in color, was erected above tunnel in which miners were at work. An inscription, The County of Skulls" carrying out the time-worn legend. was painted on the banners; S100, ,000 GOO has been taken from the county, and the banners also be- spoke that fact.

The huge machine stood out in strange contrast beside Martin Van Buren's toy" that preceded 1t but a few yards in the line of march It is built almost entirely of metal; brass, steel and bronze entering largely in its construction. It is metallic telescope tower, the inner tube being of brass and twenty feet long, the outer tube of steel, which can be extended twenty two feet high. The machine attracted unusual notice owing to the fact that it was built entirely in this city and ex- perts say far surpasses any apparatus imported from the Eastern States
 The veteran volunteer firemen's band was next in the line of march, and with it's music set the pace for their com> rades behind. The last of the third df- vision was made up of visiting firemen. Vallejo Hook and Ladder No 1 were the proud possessors or an old engine built in 1859.

Mounted on white horses were over 120 members of the society. Each wore white and yellow sash and a black beaver hat with a silver star at the side. The company was in command of Captain J. NJ. Foge, who was assisted by Lieutenants August Meyer, Fred Eggers, Henry Belmer and Richard JorgenS.

The 120 men who were in the ranks made a handsome appearance in their close fitting uniforms and their breasts covered with medals won at various shoots. Captain Bohls commanded, and was assisted by Lieutenants J. F. Thode, H. Stelling, D. Von der Mehden and E. Ibsen.
 Next in line were the Red Mems Schuetzen Company. Green uniforms and red trimmings composed their dress and the forty men in the ranks pre- sented fine military appearance. Cap tain H. Greib commanded and William Dressler and M. Dioeckert acted as his 1 lieutenants. Open carriages in which veteran members of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein were seated followed. EX-Captain J. Wulzen, c. Hilderbrandt, c. Hadenfeldt, H. F. Mass, c. Nob- mann, F. L. Pape, Henry Frank and A. Bahrs occupied carriages.

The fourth division was composed principally of Native Sons and Daugh- ters of the Golden West and in point of numbers and display of brilliant colors was a veritable kaleidoscope. They formed in good order and time on Main street, moving thence into the main column. The male sections of this divison were handicapped by the fact that a great many members were obliged to turn out with the various military companies to which they be- long, but they made a splendid show ing nevertheless and they were re- ceived all along the line of march with genuine expressions of hearty admira- ton. Especially was this true of the fair sex who took part. They were greeted with salvos of applause, and ejaculations of "ohs" and "ahs' along the entire route.
 The Native Sons all wore their re- galia, the yellow sasheD being emblem attic of past and present officers, the red for trustees and blue for the mem bers themselves. All the parlors were preceded by two beautiful silk flags, the Bear flag of the California Repub- lie, and the American flag. and in addi- tion by their respective banners, which
