OF EARTHQUAKE.

San Francisco is the victim of one
Of the most terrible calamities that has
fallen upon any city in modern times.
An earthquake of great violence, last
Ing three minutes, occurred there at
$40 a. IN. Great damage was done,
especially in the business and tene-
ment house districts, where many
small hotels collapsed, killing hum
dreds. The loss of life cannot be stated
more accurately than that hundreds
were killed, although reports have
placed the death roll at 1,10O. The
number OF injured is probably 1000.
Fire broke out in Market street first
and afterwards in other quarters OF
the town, spreading with great rapid
ity. In the afternoon it was believed
that the city was doomed, as there Is
no water to fight the flames with and
the only recourse has been to dyna-
mite buildings in the path of the
flames. The earthquake broke the
water mains. To make matters worse
q stiit breeze sprang up before noon,
tanning the flames. The earthquake
was also felt at Sacramento, though
less damage was done, and in other
parts Of California and Nevada. The
residence portion Of San Francisco,
where guests from other parts OF the
country abound, did not suffer mate

PROGRESS OF THE
BARSTOW MINING AND
MILLING COMP ANY
A Well Klown Mining Com
pany Of Local Reputation
QUICK DEVELOPMENT;
RELIABLE PROMOTERS
And Positively a Real Gold
Mine

C. w. Roach, president Of the Bar
stow Mining and Milling company, has
lust returned from their mines at Bar
stow, Cal, and reports that the waters
of the Mojave river are so high that 1t
is impossible to cross with team, and
it will not be low enough to cross for
about five days yet, at which time the
company will place at work on the
Nettie mine two shifts of expert miners
and development will be carried on as
fast as possible day and night. MIR.
Roach also reports that all work done
to date is standing fine without tim
bers, and the main tunnel Is in good
order and will not have to be timbered
at the main incline. as was at first ex-
pected.
During the trip to the mines Mr..
Roach secured four more good claims
which he says are fine prospects but
will not be worked until the present
mine is producing and paying dlVl-
dends Therefore it will not be neces-
sary to sell any more stock than has
been placed on the market, and that
will be sold in few days
1t is expected that the stock of this
company will go to 81 per share IN
few days and possibly withdraw from
care to sell any more stock than Is
necessary for real development work.
1t might be stated here that there Is
not one officer in this company that
draws one cent salary, expenses or any
other cash whatever, and 1t IS also a
very important thing for stockholders
to know that every cent this company
receives goes for real work In the Nettle
mine, and every cent you invest IS
working for you day and night, rain or
shine.
The Barstow Mining and Milling com
pany have valuable millsite on the
north side of the Mojave river ana JUST
one mile from the town of Barstow on
the direct line of the new Salt Lake
route. They have enough wood for
mill purposes for years to come and
water in abundance.
People who have a little money TO IN
vest had better look this company up
very carefully and at once as there IS
no doubt that they have a wonderful
mine and great amounts of money Will
be made in the near future.
1t is a we'll known fact that Governor
Waterman whose mine is just above
the Nettie, took out over $2,0OO,OOO, and
his millsite Is on the next section to
this claim. That there is as much more
there there is no reason to doubt, as the
Barstow Mining and Milling company
have proven that they have a. wonder
full mine that assays very high. Thou
sands of people have been to their
mine and everyone is welcome. No one
has ever been to the mine but what
have good reports to make. The COM
pany's offices are now located at 424,
425 and 426 Chamber of Commerce
building.

BACK TO SIBERIA TO DIE ALONE;
NOT TO HIS FAMILY IN MEXICO

IBERIA, near Needles, where he was hurt
a month ago.
Back to Siberia-alone to die that
is to be Alvarado's fate. Far from
the waiting wife and little ones. there
in sunny Mexico. The tender-hearted
nurses look pityingly at the sad-eyed
Mexican as he wanders from window
to window, gazing off toward the pur-
pie Sierra Madre mountains with, oh,
such longing in his big eyes, and they
ask each other, What can we do for
Alvarado, poor fellow"
When he Is asked how he feels, AL
varado but returns a mornful gaze.
Nothing seems to interest him but
the blue mountains that separate him
from his little family but If you ask
him about those little ones he bright
ems up and smiles almost happily. Dos
chiqultas," he says tenderly, and then
lapses into his sad reverie.
Alvarado was brought to the hos
pital from Siberia March 13 to be
treated for a wound in his head. This
quickly healed, but it was found, that
his lungs were incurably affected with
tuberculosis, and 1t was decided to send
him back to the place where he had
been working for the company. 1t
would not cost much more to return
him to Mexico.
The doctors say 1t is consumption,
but perhaps Alvarado is dying of a
broken heart.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 4.-Spe-
cial Officer C. w. Roach of Barstow
has precipitated great excitement there
by discovering rich gold ledge just
across the Mojave river from that
town. The assays run from 5000 to
$1,000 a ton. The ledge is four fest
across and is free milling.
Roach was only recently appointed
to his position at Barstow and since
locating there has been imbued with
the idea that a knoll lying near the
cemetery contained gold-bearing min
eral. Yesterday he instituted search
and stumbled upon an abandoned tun-
mel and found it prosecuting a rich
ledge. Not even the oldest inhabitants
of Barstow recall when the tunnel was
dug. 1t is supposed to antedate Bar
stow even as a stage station. Tonight
large batch of mining locations COW
ering the region were recorded here.

WELCOME LITTLE
JOHNNY JONES'
BELATED JOCKEY ARRIVES
AND "MAKES GOOD"
Cohan's Musical Comedy Is CaIifor.
nian to the Core and Is a VIM
ner-And Such a
Chorus!

The much belated but better late
than never Little Johnny Jones" has
arrived. He has been arriving so long
and at so many different hours that
Los Angelans had almost become skep-
! tical but last night he demonstrated
/ that he really exists and is a surpris-
ingly active little mortal.
The entire Johnny Jones company
came with him to the Mason, and it is
a large one. There appear to be
chorus girls without number and of
every variety imaginable. At times it
would almost appear that the chorus
girls have to work overtime and many
of the most beautiful effects are pro-
duced by their costumes.
The piece is musical and the scenic
effects are far more striking than any
which have been seen here this season.
The third act in which the scene is
laid in Chinatown. San Francisco, is
especially spectacular, and the cos
tune effects all that could be desired.
There are few new jokes but Little
Johnny Jones" does not depend on
jokes for its popularity.
The Bright Ones
Tom Lewis as The Unknown is re-
sponsible for most of the good ones
and his "23,' "skiddoo" and a few
others never failed to bring forth the
intended laughs.
If Bobby Barry as Little Johnny, the
American Jockey, is not George Cohan
he is a very good imitation and if east
ern friends are not too insistent in
telling us what George Cohan was like
we will be quite as well satisfied as if
we had the original. Bobby Barry is
certainly little enough" and even
~ l, hi n of
voice, he is pardonable, for he looks
the part and is strenuous enough to
suit everyone.
Miss Adele Rafters chief assets are
pretty face, a wealth of beautiful
black hair and an ability to wear stun
ming hats. She is a woman of the
amazon type and might be a charming
addition to any garden party or other
society function. Her Florabelle Fly,
of the San Francisco Searcher, is of
course impossible as newspaper wom-
an.
Stella Tracy, Too
Stella Tracy, who is the Earl of
Bloomsbury; Rosario Fauchette, a
French girl, and Goldie Gates, a San
Francisco belle all in one. does not
possess vestige of voice but wears
some gay little gowns in a becoming
way and is bright and vivacious. She
was all the rage in 1.-THE Royal Chef"
last season.
Charles Bacham is Sing Song, the
editor of a Chinese magazine, and with
it is quartet of Chinese maids who
fill their chief duty, that of looking
pretty. to perfection.
Sam ]. Ryan is seen as Timothy D.
MCGEE and Jack Rafael as Anthony
Anstey. Both do good work.
Helen Courtney gives an acceptable
performance of Mrs. Andrew Kenworth,
a reformer, who carries with her six
pretty maids who do some clever dane
ing.
California is uppermost throughout
the musical comedy, and the song
Good Old California" made hit with
the large audience last evening.
AS whole, Little Johnny Jones"
is we'll worth an evening, and it will be
a decided relief to large part of the
Los Angeles theater loving public.
