TO OUR NEWSPAPER FRIENDS.

AS you know, the Salt Lake Route,
owing to unprecedented storms in the
state of Nevada, has been washed out
since March the 2Sth. The exact dis.
lance of track destroyed by the flood
was 1876 miles. Fortunately, no pas
u, senger train was in any way involved,
for which we are thankful, but one
train of oranges got stuck between
two of the washed out portions, and
after remaining at this spot for some.
thing like nine days, was released and
got to Chicago in a good state of pres
ervation.
Meanwhile thousands of Greek, Jap
and American laborers, with pile driv,
ers, derricks, steam shovels and
teams, were hurried to the scene OF
the disaster from both ends, Los An.
geles and Salt Lake City. Friendly
railroads at both ends kindly came to
the assistance of the new line, and
the result was that in sixteen days all
of this damage was repaired, whereby
a record was made in railroad recon.
struction.
The Salt Lake Route is now pre-
pared to handle it's regular freight and
passenger traffic, and Shrine specials
contracted for will be handled through
without delay.

HAVE NOTHING TO ARBlTRATE.
Operators Send Letter to President
Mitchell and Striking Miners.

New York-A subcommittee OF
operators of the anthracite coal
carrying railroads and mine operators
held meeting in this city Tuesday
and drew up letter to President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America in which the
operators again declare that there Is
nothing to arbitrate except the ques-
ton whether there shall be any arbl-
tration. This reply is made in re-
spouse to President Mitchelps recent
amended proposition of arbitration.
The operators do not, however refuse
point blank to accept Mr.. Mltchells
latest plan. They assert that all the
differences between the miners and
their employers have been decided by
the strike commission and that there
is no reason why another attempt
should be made to arbitrate them.
"The fundamental principles re-
garding the conduct of this business
have all been established by thN
strike commission" the operators de
clare.
"No reason is suggested why they
should be retired. We have no FUR
Their suggestions to make than those
contained in our former propositions
and we regret that you have declined
both of them. We have nothing fur

San Francisco.-Forty bodies were
taken from a building at 119 Fifth
street Saturday by the Red Cross SER
vice. The structure, which was four
story wooden building containing three
flats of ten rooms each, collapsed dur
ing the earthquake. At the time sew
eral persons were taken out alive from
the upper stories, but it was though
that all the inmates had escaped. Tine
ruins took fire shortly after, and al
though efforts were made to extinguisf
the flames the entire building was
consumed. The bodies of the unfor
tunates imprisoned within the ruins
were incinerated, only the skulls and a
few bones being left.

Famous Section of San Francisco Falls
Prey to Flames.

San Francisco-Strange is the scene

is pitted with deep holes and scared
with dark passageways, from whose
depths come smoke wreaths. All the
wood has gone and the winds are
streaking the ashes.
White men never knew the depth OF
Chinatown's underground city. They
talked of these subterranean runways
and many of them had gone beneath
the street levels, two or three stories
But now that Chinatown has been I'M

were only mask, men from the hill

with them their opium pipes, their
money bags, their silks and their child.

hobbled painfully.
But these were the men and women
of the surface. Far beneath the street

ways, were other lives. Women who
never saw the day from their darkened
prisons, and blinking jailers, were
caught like rats in huge trap. Thel1

The fire at San Francisco has

The fire at San Francisco has
been gotten under control, but
only after the entire business
section of the city had been
wiped out, but few buildings
on the outskirts being saved.
It is impossible to estimate
the loss of life, and the total
loss will probably never be
know. Various estimates of the
number of dead are made, the
figures being all the way from
500 to 1900.
The property loss is estimated
at from 100000, 900 to $500,ooo,-
600. A great many buildings
were Quilted and much may be
saved from the wreck.
No effort has been made to
identify the dead, and in fact it
is impossible to do so, many
bodies being entirely consumed
in the flames.
Extraordinary measures for
relief have been taken. Con-
gress has appropriated $1,000.
600, while gifts of from $4,000
to 100000 have been sent by
leading financiers of the country,
and everywhere offers Of assist
ance are made.
Carloads of food are being
shipped to the suffering people,
and everything possible done to
relieve their distress.
The city will be rebuilt. OF
that there is no doubt.
