n tho state OF S.naloa. the uttl. mining
town OF Altata, which had stood there

was left standing.
This was ore OF the results OF the terri
bic storm which played such havoc on the
mainland coast OF the gulf September II
and IS. The Orizaha today brought the
nrst details. which give comprehensive
idea or the extent OF damage done.
The storm was q sort OF composite az
1air, partaking Of the natures OF tidal
wave, cloudburs. and chuhasco, as the
hurricane Is called IN Mexican Spanish.
torrents rushed down from the hills back
OF Aitata and met the tidal wave carried
IN from the sea, and the town was obliter-
ated. Many OF the mines located Inland
from the coast were flooded by the cloud
burst Fortunately the loss of life was
slight. and the Altatans are now camping
In tents or rudely constructed hu.s little
back Of where the town stood.
Viewing the former site of Alfalfa from
the gulf, the most striking objects that
meet the view are the spars OF the schoon-
ers Cometa and Rebecca and the German
barkentine Helena. which were beached
by the great wave
At Mazatlan. further up the gulf. a most
remarkable result OF the storm Is OBJ
served. In the middle of the main street
or Mazatlan, more than block from the
waters edge, sits q schooner on an even
keel. She rode in on the tidal wave. and
when It receded was left high and dry
MaZatlan stood the storm fairly we'll but
much damage was done Four German
barks that were so fortunate as TO be well

outside. They made port two days after
the fury OF the elements had subsidized.

mine, situated a mile TO the rear of Ma
zatlen. was flooded TO the surface by the
cloudburst.
So far as Altata is concerned, Il is no
new thing for It TO find Itself off the map
This is the third time the town has been
