San FRANCISCO. April ia Victoria
dispatch Of the 18th says: A shipping dis.
aster. unparalleled at this port, occurred
yesterday, when four ont Of six ships ct
anchor in the outer harbor were blown
ashore and seriously damaged, il not to-
tally wrecked. 1t blew . hurricane from
2 O'Clock Saturday morning till 8 o'clock
Saturday night. The ships at anchor were
the Duke Of Argyle, Tiber, Connaught,
Tiger, British. and the Gettysburg aud
Southern Chief, American. The two last
named broks from their anchorage and
went ashore about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing. The C~onnaught and Tiger held cut
till towards evening, when both went N.
All four OF the vessels lost their mizzen
masts. The Southern Chief lost her main
mast, and one man was killed by the fall
Of the yard. The gale was 30 severe that
no steamers could 60 to their relief. After
tho ships struck the sea made . clean
breach over them. This evening q tug
from the scene OF the disaster reports the
water flowing in and out Of all the vessels. |
The Gettysburg and Southern Chief went
or at high tide and 1t 10 feared that neither
will be got of. All the ships were in bal
last except the Connaught, which has =
cargo Of lumber for South Africa. The
gale in safety, the Tiber losing one anchor. |
The line anchor chains were all lost before
the ships finally broke away. On shore
the scene was one that bafied description. |
The wind tore and ragged throughout the
entire day and far into the night, uproot-
ing trees and blowing down fences and
sign boards. causing much discomfort, and
in some cases peril. It 10 Z remarkable
fact that during the gale the glass was
comparatively high, never falling below
$50.
The condition Of the wrecked
ships 10 very discouraging. The Tiger,
Southern Chief and Gettysburg are said to
be beyond hope. The Tigers back is
broken. The tide Gibbs and flows through
her and all the other vessels. The con-
dition Of the Connaught IL slightly better,
and hopes are expressed that she will be
got of. The loss by this disaster is esti-
mated at $100, 900. The weather is still
unsettled, with southwest squalls.
A Rich Strike IT TuscarOra.
T~uscARoRA. New, April ia rich strike
was made IN Sunday in. the P. and P.
Con. that outrivals any discovery ever
made 10 Tuscarora. A short time ago an
ore seam was discovered on the surface
that led to the conclusion that an extern
sion Of the ore body existed deeper down.
In order to determine this fact . drift was
projected from . shaft go feet from the sur
face In the direction OF the surface indica- |
tons. This level had reached a distance
OF 40 or As feet, when an ore body was en-
<.nrv Aura1 tnllo.. ~ .--s--- ali
crosscut was started to determine the
width Of the find. The crosscut is in six
feet, and no wall is reached yet. The
ledge is widening rapidly, md gives
promise of being the heaviest ore body
ever discovered in this district. The en-
tire gangue, - far as opened, gives an
average assay OF $500 per ton. A chloride
seam, IL inches wide, following the foot |
wall, gives q return Of $3.50 ~ per ton. |
There 10 now fully SO, 900 in sight, and |
only 48 hours work done on the find. 4
Fifteen thousand dollars was offered yes
terday for q third interest, which was re- |
fused. 1t is = fortune to those interested,
and Of the greatest importance to the dis
trict.
