That the earthquake was the cause OF
the destructionlOf the city OF San Fran
cisco, there can be but little doubt. Firs!
the shock came, then the flames burst
out at different points aud the great con-
faeration followed. The whole electric
system and the gas light connections
Of the city we're literally snapped in two,
the crossed wires OF the 6rst and the ex-
plosions of the latter starting the fre
and keeping it sblaze until there was no
hope. and water could not queuch il.
II does not suit the inhabitants and prop
er.y owners to.dwell too much upon the
damage done by the quake, because they
have their Insurance. TO collect, and they
want to rebuild their city, and do not
wish to intimidate strangers from coming
there to dwell. Still 1t we're better to
give al the facts as they exist rather
than have false statements on record to
be corrected in the future. Numerous
theories have been published as to the
cause of the disturbance on April 18th.
| frmly believe that there has been a
violent volcanic eruption at the bottom
of the Pacific ocean, aud that the wave
force came a long distance out OF the
ocean waters before 1t struck the shores
of the Pacific, coming from the south
west and running to the northeast all the
way to the extreme end of Alaska, aud
that most of the force Of the wave was
broken by the fact OF its coming through
this vast body of water from the bottom
of the ocean, before it reached the sur
face. and that had not this been the
case, and the full strength of the wave
had struck the land, that nothing would
have been left on these shores, and that
a great tidal wave would have engulfed
this co asst for 300 miles north and south.
The appearance of new land in Alaska
! confirms my belief. From last accounts,
the water was still boiling around this
new island in Alaska which was raised
up By the volcanic action from below,
and doubtless is the peak of some great
mouptain whose base stands at the bot
tom of the sea. have noticed that the
general course or line of our earthquakes
extends in the same direction as the
mineral belt and assures in the earth, that
is. northeast and southwest. There is some
thing metallic in this idea, and perhaps
there is q connection between the mag
netic minerals OF the earth, their trend
toward the North Pole; and earthquakes
and electrive force may have more
to do with it all than we may imagine.
A little incident of the late tremblor
might be interesting: Two men were
driving along a road seated on milk
! wagon on the morning of April Is, at
l5.19, and they afterwards stated that
the road in front of them moved up aud
down, and moved as the waves upon the
ocean; that the horses were terrified,
aud the wagon rocked like boat at sea.
Suddenly there was a dead calm and
| perfect silence, and men and horses
simply shook as if chills had struck
them all. l saw a dog in fit, and
men and women wandering from place
to place, their faces having lost all
traces of sanity and some singing:
"Heaven is here" thinking that the end
had really come.

damage done by the quake in many
parts OF the city and at points remote

such localities, and the largest buildings
we're completely shattered into kindling
VOID. 1t will never be known how
many human beings were crushed out
of shape, as the fire destroyed all traces,
| even cremating the bones. You have
| doubtless seen and read more articles
| upon the earthquake in California, aud
particularly in San Francisco, than you
ever read before upon such occurrences
in sll your life, and perhaps you have
become Indifferent to any description
of the event which you may see in
print at this late period, yet what am
writing may still attract your attention
sufficiently to allow it a space in your
valuable columns. Unfortunately we
were "caught mapping" on April IS and
we got real earthquake and the "dyna-
mite" was thrown in with the FIRE, as
side issue: it was more than a "shock
ing affair" this time, it was national
calamity indeed. Even at this late day,
