EARTHQUAKE CHANGED IT.
Alaska Mountain Split In Two and the
Stewart River Was Turned into
q New Channel

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 21.-The
steamer Clutch, which has arrived
from Skaguay, brings news that an
earthquake on August 10 shook Skag-
uay for 20 seconds and was even
more severely felt at Dawson. All
the way down the river the shock
was apparent. At Dawson two small
government buildings in course Of
construction were toppled over. Ar
rivals from the Stewart river, half
way down the Yukon to Dawson, say
the mountain there was split in two.
One stream was damned up partially
by fallen rock and it turned into the
newly formed canyon through the
mountain. Five miles Of this stream
and two miles Of the second tributary
Of the Stewart were left dry.
