Property Loss $500, 600. 600.

KANSAS CITY. Mo- April pa special to the Star from Oakland,
written last night by Albert Miller a stan correspondent who had just
returned from san Francisco after making the rounds of the business dis
trct. says:
How many are dead as a result of this tremendous catastrophe can
not ever be approximately told. Estimates have attained currency and
credence that vary from mnimums OF 800. to incredible maxlmums of
10000 Undoubtedly greater than the first figure, yet it seems impossible
that the total deaths can possibly reach the larger aggregate.
NOT POSSIBLE TO TELL Loss.
1T is not humanity possible for any one, whatever his opportunity of
observation, however, excellent his judgment. to do more now than sub
MT his individual guess For instance there was a lodgng-house-the
NV Brunswick, at sixth and Mission. 1t collapsed from the first earth
ghke shock One man intimately acquainted with that lodging house
end its business. asserts that 600 were in this house when. with the roof.
the walls crashed into the cellar. He says all the inmates Of the house
were killed Another man declares that the dodgers at the house mum
beed only 200
fact All that district. from the manufacturing plants near the bay front
by small retail establishments and lodeing. houses, a section den@y popu-
lated and similar to New Yorks tenemert-house district Undoubtedly
many died in this district
1t will be long before the miles Of debris can be cleared up and the
exact number of dead may never be known.
