SAN FRANCISCO
A MASS OF RUINS
One of the Greatest Shocks Ever Expert
enced in the Bay City.
THE LOSS OF LIFE WILL Be HEAVY AND THE PROPERTY LOSS EXCEEDS
NAV MILLIONS.

One of the most destructive earthquake that has ever
occurred OH the coast visited San Francisco at $40 this morn-I
ing, the shock lasting three minutes. Another occurred at
5 o'clock, but was not SO severe as the first.
Both these shocks did considerable damage shakings many
of the fine structures to pieces, killing and wounding many
hundred persons, and to the horror of the earthquake, a tidal
wave from the bay came up and raised as far as Montgomery
street, proving more destructive than the shocks.
Fire then broke out, but dynamite has been used to blow
up some of the buildings to prevent its spreading, although
it has done considerable damage.
Reports at first stated that Call, Chronicle and Examiner
buildings were destroyed, are not true. Also that the Palace
hotel WAS a wreck and that 500 lives were lost. The buldn g
at this time is untouched.
Later dispatches received here this afternoon at : pm state
that all along the line of the Southern Pacific for four miles
in the Suisun Marsh near Suisun the road-bcd caved in with
out a moments warming slnkingsSat least fifteen feet the entire
distance. In this accident Nevadans had a narrow escape from
death. The Tonopah express which left Reno shortly after
! o'clock last night for San Francisco was due on the marsh
within a few minutes before the earthquake which would
have sent their train into the marsh resulting in either death
by drowning or wrcckage.

pleted whereby the new 100000 indie
pendent smelter Of the Utah Smelling
Company, to be erected here. will be
operated by electricity. This will be
the only plant i'll this section OF the
country using electricity for power.
\. contract has been signed by Bella

the officials Of the city OF brigham, from
which municipal plant the power will
be received. \ special hue will be
built, to transmit the currcnC, from
Brigham to the new smelter site, a dis
lance OF about twelve miles. The
amount paid for this service by the

than relieve the citizens OF that place
from taxation. This is but one OF the
nan beneficial features for the sur
