 DOWNEY, BABC0CK MINE

Thirteen months in the Nuka bay quartz district without leaving is the record of A. c. Downey, of the Dow ney brothers and Tom Babcock prop erty. MT. Downey arrived in the city a few days ago and is purchasing a winters supply for the camp. Mrs. V. w. Downey and grandson, who also have been at the camp for many months without leaving, will arrive in town soon for a visit, it is stated.

Firemen Are Injured
Low Water Pressure Handi-
caps Firemen - Furniture
on Lower Floor Saved by
NeighbOrs.

Fire almost totally destroyed a
bungalow owned by Aaron Apple
gate, colored, on w. Washington
avenue shortly before noon today.
The blaze started in the upper
floor of the cottage, and had gain
ed great Roadway before it was
discovered by passerby.
Charles Howell, New road and
Pleasant avenue, an employee of
the Atlantic City Electric Co., and
a member of the volunteer fire
company, whose name has not been
learned, were injured when the
roof from which they were fighting
the fire, gave way, hurting them
below.
Howell was taken to his home
and placed in bed after efforts to
locate a doctor failed. Neither
man was injured seriously, accord
ing to reports.
Lack of water pressure handi-
capped the department in it's eff
forts to fight the blaze. Only one
line coHid be used because of the
very low pressure. Hose was con-
nected with plug about 800 feet
distant.
The majority of the house furn-
ishings were saved through the eff
forts of men passing at the time
of the fire. Practically every
thing on the lower floor was saved.
When the department arrived the
entire roof of the building was in
flames. Hose was at once run from
the plug. Although the frame of
the structure was saved, the inside
was Quilted.
The loss is estimated to be about
$4,000 Wind blowing from the
ocean helped prevent the fire from
spreading to a house adjoining.
The fire was under control half an
hour after the arrival of the fire
department.
