MANY 40 TO

MONICA DRAWS CROWD
sULPHuRous SMOKE is NOW
EMITTED IN CLOUDS
Biologists, Prospectors and Others
Interested in Phenomenon Near
Seashore Above Port
Los Angeles
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA MONICA, Feb. 26.--The re-
discovery of a smoking hill in the
Santa Monica mountains, just above
Port Los Angeles, has sent biologists
with their hammers, prospectors with
thoir picks and a curious crowd gall
loping through the canyons and over
the hills of the Santa Monica range.
The point in the rift of the palisades
by the sea at which the smoke issues
is only about a hundred PAGES from
the beach and at an elevation of not
more than a hundred feet above sea
level. Through the shaley soil of which
the hill is composed the thick sulphur
GUS smoke forces it's way from un-
known depths.
The smoke is so strongly impreg-
mated with sulphur fumes that inves-t
tigation is pursued with difficulty. For
many feet surrounding the assures
from which the smoke issues the earth
is so heated that to stand in the vicin-
ity of the embryo volcano is attended
with discomfort.
Shale Crumblcs Easily
The shale of which the hill is com.
posed is saturated with an asphaltum
that serves to hold the conglomerate
mass together except where the action
of the heat has converted the whole
into combination that readily crum-
bles when exposed to the action of the
air.
The shale is of terra Gotta color
and clearly retains the evidences of
slow fire. A stratum of this was ex-
posed years ago when the county road
was built along the beach in the di-
rection of the Malibu ranch. History
fails to record the date of the first dis
covery of this igneous pile of oily seep-
ages, but that it was known to the
first settlers along the coast as being
impregnated with sulphur is certain.
The discovery is on the land of Robert
f. Jones and active development is
promised soon.

erected for putting the borax on the

CROWD EXPECTED TO ATTEND
LONG BEACH COUNCIL MEETING

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Feb. 26.-When the
city council meets tomorrow morning
the council chamber will doubtless be
crowded by citizens anxious to partici-
pate in the argument on the question
of water rates.
The ordinance which was given its
initial reading last week will probably
be adopted as drawn, with the excep-
ton of the meter rates. Some of the
members of the council favor rate OF
20 cents for each of the first 2E,00O gal
Ions, and cents for each succeeding
thousand.
The other members of the council
and the water company favor 15 and 10
cent rates. If the latter should be
adopted the agitation for municipal
ownership would be increased.
