FIRE AT SCHICK'S
Big Mattress Factory Narrowly Es-
capes Destruction.

Fire was discovered in the Schick
mattress factory, Second and Jackson
street, at $50 o'clock this morning.
The night Waterman had just passed
through the building and was on the
second floor when he noticed a re1ec-
ton of a light thrown against some
freight cars. Locking out window,
he saw smoke ascending from the floor
below.
The fire was in a room where baled
and loose excelsior was stacked to the
ceiling.
In my opinion, an automatic sprin-
kler saved the plant from destruc-
tion,'' said Joseph Hanlon, chief of
the fire department. 1T kept the
blaze in check until the fire depart

Fireman had to chop down the
doors to get into the room, for al
though they were only partially closed,
they could not be opened on account
of the excelsior piled against them.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

applied a match to the excelsior by

court which also held the law uncOn-

tracted to the case because several
foreign governments had protested
against the law and because of its
similarity to the land legislation in

A GEOLOGICAL SNAKE.
Miners Strike Den of Reptiles in 500
Foot Shaft.

Engineering and Mining World)
The following was received from a
gentleman whom we have always re-
Ispected as a mining engineer of ability
and truthfulness up to the present
time:
In sinking shaft below the 500
foot level, the hosting engineer was
surprised one day TO see the miners
who were working in the bottom of
the shaft, climbing out of the ladder
way, exhausted and scared nearly to
death, yelling they had struck snakes
in the bottom of the shaft. The fore
man told them they were crazy, but
they said to go down and see for him
self, so the foreman went down to sec
what was the matter.
Sure enough, in drilling a round
of holes in the bottom of the shaft, one
of the drills struck through into a
cave and water spouted out of the
hole, and while the miners We're
watching the stream of water a snake
about Is inches long came up out of
the drill hole. This was too much for
the miners and they started up the
ladder for the surface without ringing
for the bucket"
In the dry desert country where wa
ter is found at a depth of 400 to 500
feet, 1t is known that there are snakes
without eyes, which live along abou'
water level from 400 to 600 feet below
the surface of the ground. This prov
ed to be a snake all right, but without
eyes, and is preserved in alcohol in the
office of a well known mining engineer
in Los Angeles.
q do not know whether this belongs
to natural history or to geology, b
as it happened in a mine we will
classify it as geology.-Ed.)
