since the disaster. The scene was
appalling. With the exception of
worker here and there, the destroyed
district was destitute of laboring men.
Ruins, ruins in every direction, as far
as the eye could see; millions of tons
of bricks and mortar piled up in half
destroyed easements; strong breeze
blowing dust and ashes everywhere;
writhing steel beams and crumbling
granite marking the sites of once i'm
posing buildings, and the very thought
of bringing order out of chaos suff1-
cient to stagger the imagination.
On the next day far different pic
ture was presented. In every base
ment was a gang of workmen. They
struggled with Orders, piled brick,
sifted good material from refuse, han
died pick and shovel, mixed mortar
and loaded wagons with debris. Thou
sands of busy hands were to be seen
down every street. Thousands of
teams went about on the simultane-
Gus task of removal and reconstruc-
ton.
Little Loss of Population.
To one familiar with the crowds
| ries famous, there does not appear
to be any diminution of population.
The car system Is wholly mad equate,
although herculean efforts have been
made to establish communication.
| The ferries are as crowded as ever.
Theaters are filed to suffocation. The
st. Francis hotel put up a temporary
structure in Union square, and it is
turning away hundred guests daily.
Other hotels are filled and turning
| people away. 1t requires only visit
| to San Francisco to disprove the re-
port that the city has lost half it's
population.
The quake shook the life out of
some old firms and fastened the birth
Of many new ones. Dozens of stores
bear the names of men who were
clerks before April Is. Merchants
from other cities have stepped in and
established houses here. Competition
is keen, and money appears to be
more plentiful than for many years.
The scarcity of skilled and un-
skilled labor is the chief drawback to
rapid construction. Wages are ex.
brilliantly high, but this is the fault
of contractors and proprietors rather
than of the labor unions. The plumb
ers and stationary engineers thought
they saw chance to get rich quick
and raised their scale, but were not
sustained by the labor council, which

Gated. Nearly one-half OF all losses
has been paid. Considering the fact
that insurance records, as well as
everything else, went up in smoke.
this is a fairly good showing for Ave
months. Payments are being made
through the banks at the rate of near
ly $1,000,000 a day. The money goes
into circulation for the most part,
and the resulting activity overshad-
ows the fact that hundreds of other
policy holders are waiting for a set
tlement.
The people of San Francisco per.
sonally and through their commercial
organizations. are watching the insur.
ance companies with jealous eye.
Companies that come to the front
with money are reaping harvest OF
new business, while those which
fought for time or actually repudiated

was between $500 and 1000 feet. The
vast expanse of London lay like

TREASURE THAT LIES DEEP IN
MUD OF VOLCANIC LAKE.
Story of the Efforts to Recover Fab
uious Riches Which Were Cast
Into the Lake Centuries
Aoo,

The story of the hunt which the
Contractors Company, Limited. Of
London, has made for golden treasure
at Lake Guatavita. in Colombia. where
it is supposed that the native Chib-
chas centuries ago cast millions OF
gold and precious stones in carrying
out the peculiar rites of their religion
is an interesting one.
The company has spent thousands
of dollars in draining the lake that
they might get at the treasure sup
posed to be buried there, and now they
are praying for rain to fill it again,
for when the water had all been
drained off, it was found that the mud
at the bottom was 25 feet deep and
would have to be washed away to get
at the treasure supposed to lie at the
bottom. But with the water drained
out and the clouds withholding their
accustomed moisture. the equatorial
sun soon baked the surface of the bot
tom as hard as a rock. This put
stop to the effort to get at the treasure
and for two years now the company
has been waiting for rain.
Gold Idol Recovered from Lake.
The reason for the belief that this
lake holds untold treasure is due to
religious ceremony which the Chib-
chas observed. These natives regard
ed the Lake of Guatavita, little pool
in the crater of an extinct volcano
some 5000 feet above the sea level,
as sacred. They believed their pro-
tecting deity lived in it. This deity
was known as Ell Dorado, which
| means, not as is generally believed,
the golden city, but The Golden, One"
To this Golden One" the Chibchas
| offered up every six months sacri-
| fee which would make even the
mouth of a South African millionaire
water.
They threw into the lake at each of
| these ceremonies an enormous amount
| of gold and precious stones.
The following account of one of
| these offerings, given by one of the
| descendants of the Chibchas. reads
more like a gorgeous romance than
reality, but it must be remembered

city needs 10000 skilled men and
could employ 10000 unskilled labor
ers. Some of the shrewder unskilled
men have dubbed together and form
ed little companies of their own. They
take a contract to remove debris for
a price, and perform the work during
the noon hour and in the night. AS
unskilled labor is getting 81 day,
these willing workers who put in
extra time are getting more money
than they ever saw before. In much
of the burnt district work is carried
on by electric light.
Will San Francisco ever be rebuilt?
is the question asked by people in
the east. The answer is that San
Francisco is now being rebuilt 1t is
not a question of the distant future.
The process is visible to the naked
eye. Every steel building that was
under construction at the time Of the
disaster is being rushed to compile

tracted for, and with the removal Of

BUILDING UP
SAN FRANCISCO
Citizens Make Marvellous Progress in
the Work of Restoration.
Nero Buildings, Finer Than Those Destroyed by the
Earthquake and Fire, Going Up Every Side
"Ciy Beautifui'' a Matter of Time.

San Francisco.-One of the worlds
great sights is San Francisco. Cities
have been ruined and ashes have
covered them, but never before I'M
der modern conditions. A city ruined
by earthquake and fire in the old
days meant that the time of recovery
would equal the age Of the city up to
the hour of Its destruction. In this
age the very evidences of destruction
are turned into agencies of repair and
Improvement Fire has rarely failed
to bring about better conditions in
city, and San Francisco is no excep-
sion to the rule. 1t is not the i'm
provement of the city that will make
them marvel, however, as much as
the rapidity with which the work
will be accomplished.
The earthquake of April 10 caused
few million dollars damage-possibly
s10,000,000 would cover that loss. The
fire, which had full play after the
quake had broken the water mains,
burned over 514 squares, or 1850
acres, or four square miles. the total
loss being estimated at 100000, 900.
On this property there was insurance
amounting to about 1915, 100000. OF
this insurance about $150,000,00 had
been paid in cash to policyholders up
20 September Is.
The fire, as everybody knows, de-
stroyed the business district of San
Francisco, but left the shipping and
residence districts intact. Commerce
continued without interruption, eX-
cept such incidental disturbances as
the location of new storage places and
the accumulation of freight. Thou
sands of people left the city immedi-
ately after the disaster, but compe-
tent authorities estimate that SO per
cent. of these refugees have returned.
Their homes being intact they find
that San Francisco is the place for
them. after all. and they are turning

capital or their labor.
Bringing Order from Chaos.
When the fire died down on April
I'll. the people of San Francisco were
confronted with mighty problems,
some of them demanding instant solu-
ton. AS this article deals with the
San Francisco of the future and not
of the past, it is not necessary to go
into details regarding the remarkable
ability shown by the committee of fif-
~ in providing for the wants of the
hungry and shelterless, writes Ira E.

of gold and another of emeralds. He
was slowly rowed to the center of the
lake, four barges bearing priests sur
rounding the kings vessel. Then bra
ziers were lighted on the barges, and
a great bonfire on the shore. The as
sembled people cried out to their
deity, while drums and pipes sound
ed, and the priests raised their hands
to heaven.
AT a sign the multitude turned
their backs to the lake, for the COM
mon people might not witness the
actual sacrifice. A moment later there
was a great splash. Gilded king, gold

debris and the arrival of materials
the work will proceed. Nothing could
be more absurd than to doubt the re-
covery of San Francisco from it's
great misfortune, in the face of the
work that is actually in progress.
The contract for the reconstruction of
the Palace hotel on it's old site, on
a grander scale than ever, has been
let The st. Francis is now complet-
ing its great steel annex. Business
houses are arranging to build newer
and stronger structures than those
which succumbed to the confiagration
of April IS to 81. The city will not
be rebuilt in day, or a year, but it
will go up with a remarkable quick
ness.
"city Beautiful" Must Wait.
There has been much talk of Getty
beautiful" with winding avenues
about the hills, broad boulevards park
extensions, and so on. 1t was thought
that with the buildings leveled to
the ground the opportunity was open
for the construction of model mod
ern city, uniting utility and beauty to
a degree never yet approached in
America. A little study of the sit
uation shows that this is nothing but
dream. San Francisco people have
enough on their hands in the way of
getting into business again, in any
shape, without tackling the great
task OF forming city on aesthetic
lines. Here and there street may
be widened and little park estab-
lished. but in the main there will be
no attempt to reform the plans upon
which the city was built.
The railroads terminating at San
Francisco are among the most potent
forces in rebuilding the city. They
saved San Francisco from panic and
possible greater disaster during the
time of stress by carrying away thou
sands of people, free of charge, and
bringing in emergency supplies.
After the crisis the railroads turned
in and assisted in the removal of
debris. Temporary tracks were laid
and rehabilitation was immensely as
sisted. Merchants ordered big stocks
of goods from the east, and the rail.

cisco and Oakland. By heroic eff
forts the lingering freight was dis
posed of and a serious situation re
lieved. Now that the railroads are
able to look after their own business
they are expending great sums In
permanent improvement, which will
facilitate the reconstruction of the
city.
