Huntington and Isaac Gug-

New York, Aprl Eth spite OF the
staggering property losses involved IN
the destruction of san Francisco by
earthquake and fire. New Workers who
have large interests at stake In that
city and Californian residents here said
without hesitation yesterday that san
Francisco could be rebuilt at once and
on grander lines than those OF the past
and that it would be safer and
healthier city because of the precau-
lions to be taken against future earth
quakes and CONGREGATIONS.
ID. o. MILLS.
-. o. Mills said: I'm spite of the
uncertainty, one thing is sure the city
will he rebuilt

system which will enable us to draw

san Francisco is the logical metro

Of abandoning the city In favor OF some
such place as Seattle Is foolshness.
can say that the city will be rebuilt at
once, that It will be an improved city,
and that In the building profit will
be taken from present conditions,

'Of course san Francisco VIII rise
again. We have every confidence In
its recuperative powers II will rise
like the Phoenix and be bigger and
more beautiful. Buildings will be put
up that will not tumble down when the
earth quakes, and neither viii they
burn so easily. and It will be one OF
the most beautiful cities in the world
c. T.. LAlDLAW,
G. r. Ladlaw said that commercial
necessities would take care of San
Franciscos future, adding.
II see no reason why the city should
not rise again. The tendency OF course
Is to rebuild.
COL. DUDLEY EVANS.
There can be no possible doubt tina.
San Francisco VIII rise from the ashes
of her ruins" declared Col. Dudley Ev-
ans. president of the Wells Fargo EX-
press company ut Is a question Of
only few years before the city will be
greater and grander than ever before.
II VIII have the experience and the mis-
takes OF the past az a guide, and even
II there should be another visitation Of
an earthquake there would be little
fear with the provisions that will be
made to meet such a danger. So9e
plan must be devised which will obvi
ate the necessity OF building on the
made land of the wholesale district. II
has virtually no foundation TO support
the great buildings which rested upon
It, and 1t seems to me likely that the
merchants will move to the solid
ground formerly known as Tar fiat,
south of Market street"
EXPERTS WILL INVESTIGATE.
New York, April 2t.--That no time
will be lost In the work OF rebuilding
san Francisco Is suggested by the fac,
that the large engineering and con-
tracing firms are sending their most
expert men to investigate the ruins
with a view of discovering which form
OF construction best wlthstood the
shock The city will require about $50, =
600 tons Of structural steel to repair h-i
losses and erect new buildings, accord
ing to f., II. Garry. head of the United
States Steel corporation, and other au
thoritles.
The result of the earthquake II Is
claimed, will be to give an impetus or
steel skeletons in future buildings along
the Pacific coast.
