Quito a bit of excitement for some
time prevailed In the business Beet Ion
of the city about 9 p. in. lust .night
when fire was discovered In the two
story brick nnd tile covered building
on the east side of South Front street,
formerly owned by H. O. Xordwlck.
and before It was extinguished the
composing room of the Clarion was
badly scorched, and loss damae was
caused in the adjoining room occu
pied by the Med ford Auto Painting
company. The flumes wero confined
to the rear of these two rooms.
The damage to the building, which
1s owned by Kred II. Kommei-H of Han
Francisco, is only a few hundred dol
lars, and the Iuhs fully insured, as are
nlso the Iohhch to the Clarion plant
nnd the auto-paintlng company.
The fire was discovered fortunately
before it had gotten a good start. Its
origin Is unknown. It evidently start
ed inside the partition between the
rear of the composing room and the
nuto painting establishment. It may
have started, however, overhead from
the second floor, which is occupied ns
n rooming house, and crawled down
the partition which was afire at this

The discovery wiih made thru
smoke pouring into the rooming 1iiiuh
thru Its floor. At that hour the
tenants had not yet retired, but those
who wero about got busy for a time in
gathering up their personal effects
ready for a flight.
The rear of the composing room of
the Clarion aid the rear of the paint
shop whs burning when the firemen
arrived, and the firemen chopped out
the boarded up doorway between the
two rooms, In order to better get at
the flames.
W. K. I'hipps. publisher and editor
of the Clarion, was unable to make
any estimate of his loss this forenoon
beyond the dirt, smoke grime, water
and inconvenience caused. The dam
age to his plant will not be much
unless it develops that the typesetting
machine was injured by water,
scorching nnd smoke. Anyhow, the
loss is fully covered by Insurance, he
said. j
This week's issue of the Clarion had
been put In the mails yesterday, and i
Mr. Philips said next week's lssuo
would be Issued on time, no matter
what damage had been caused to the
typesetting machine or anything elsa
The damage to theMedford Auto
Painting company will not amount to
over $200, The stock of paints on
hand and nil the paint brushes were
burned, nnd two new nuto tires that
wero leaning tip against the partition
were badly burned on the surface.
The paints and brushes were also lo
cated In the corner of the rear room
close to the partition. Several valu
able autos were stored in the shop
cIoeo to the front of the building, but
escaped damage.

AFTER 3000 YEARS
I.L'XOR, Egypt, Jan. 6. (By the
Associated Press).- The sarcophagus
of Tutenkhamen has been brought to!
light after remaining hidden for
more than 3000 years in the tomb of
the Pharaoh In the Valley of the
Kings.
The long-sought for treasure of an
tiquity, carved from pinkish granite,
probably Assua'n stone, lies within the
fourth casket of blazing gold a cas
ket even more brilliant than the
other shrines enclosing the sarco-,
phagus. Its doors covered with car
touches of the dead Pharaoh sur
rounding a figure of the monarch.
The sarcophagus is elaborately carv
ed nnd there is reason to believe it
will prove to bo of even greater ar
tistic value than the nlnk sarcophagus
of Harmahid, or the famous alahas-1
ter cor fin of fietl I In the Sloane mu
seum in London.
Following up yesterday's discovery
of the fourth casket, the search was
proceeded with, and In the presence 1
of professor Percy K. Newberry, the!
noted egyptologlst and other mem
bers of his staff, Howard Carter. In I
charge of the exploration, unbolted '
the doors of the fourth shrine, dis
closing the sarcophagus and the fact
that the last resting pluce of Tutenk
humun had really been discovered.
The richness of the gold encas
ing the third shrine recalls again the
wondrous splendor of Imperial Egypt
at the time when Tutenkhamun ruled
in the Nile valley. There is almost
enough gold in this tomb to stock a I
small mint. And. even though price
less treasures have been handled, fully
70 per cent of the riches in the tomb,
remain to be examined. They arej
stored In other rooms almost every
Hiuare yard of which is worth
king's ransom. '
