ant; thence along the south line of
Bryant to Juniper, small street half
way distant between Tenth and Elev-
enth, sparing the northeast corner of
Eleventh and Bryant. Thence along
the east line of Juniper to Harrison;
thence along the east line of Harrison
to Fourteenth and along the north line
Of Fourteenth to Folsom, jumping the
street at this point to lick up the build
ing at the southeast corner Of Folsom
and Fourteenth; thence half way
along the west line of Folsom to Fiji
teenth, but leaving intact the struc-
ture at the northwest corner of Fiji
teenth and Folsom. Along the north
line Of Fourteenth it ate its way
to ShOtWell, and along the west line of
ShOtwell to Fifteenth, skirting the
north line Of Thirteenth, it travelled
to Howard, and along the west line of
Howard to Eighteenth, where it again
diVerged northerIy along the north line
of Eighteenth, as far as Capp, and
thence along the north line of Eight
zenith as far as Capp, and thence along
the west line of Capp.
One Block Spared.
In this immediate district it was
noted that the block bounded by Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth, and Howard
and ShOtweH, though spared by the
flames, had been terribly shaken by
the quake. In some instances the
houses were a mass of ruins, it being
| thought that of all the buildings in
that square block the only two that
might be saved from the wreck were
those of Lawyer W. G. Graves at 21S9
Howard. Even the frame Catholic
church of St. Charles at ShOtweu and
Eighteenth appeared to be unsafe. The
streets in this vicinity were sunken
from six to eight feet in places and the
earth opened in great gaps while the
rails of the car system were twisted
and broken.
In its progress the cOnfagratfOn con-
sumed all the dwellings along the west
line of Capp to a point half way be-
tween Ninteenth and Twentieth, leav-
ing intact the row of residences 'front.'

between Capp and the Mission; thence
it burned along the north line of Twen-
tieth to Dolores, at which point it was
stayed by the great openings which
were formerly the Jewish cemeteries
of this city, but which within a few
years have been purchased by the
municipality and were in process of
being converted into a pleasure
ground. Here are encamped some of
the many thousands who are home

An Independent Fire.

mediately after the tremblor in the
/ dry goods store at the corner of
Twenty-secOnd and Mission. This fire
burned over an area of $50 by 300 feet,
but, there being water in the mains at
that time, was checked. Travelling
nOrtherly on Dolores from Twentieth
there was nothing but a waste to be
seen on the east line of Dolores,
scarcely vestige remaining of the
Z -.
Sisters of NOtre Dame. At the north
erly end of Dolores, where it meets
the extension of Market street, the
flames were diverted by the great bar
rem cut at that point, eating easter1y;
thence along the south line of Clinton
Park to Guerrero, and along the east
line of Guerrero, running in their
course the half constructed hospital of
St Katherine to Market, whence they
spread along the southerly side of that
thOrOughfare easterly to Cough
Thence along the east line Of Cough
to Page, along the north line of Page
half way to Octavia, sparing the row
of buildings along the easterly line of
Octavia as far as Fell, where they
reached to the easterIy line of Octavia
and along that line northerly to Full

confronted by n half burned block that

of Cough to Golden Gate avenue;
thence along the southerIy line of

and along the easterly line of Van

Mansions Destroyed.
In this district were included some
most splendid mansions of the city,
! chief among which was the majestic
home of Claus Sprec1els at the south

and taste could gather, still stands,
/ though blackened by the ordeal and
Invested of all it's beauty, a melancholy
| testimony of the futility of human
endeavor.
Still burning along the easterIy side

south line of which it spread to Larkin
