Passing of
San FranciscO'S
Chinatown

~AN FRANCIsC0'S Chinatown
was long both a magnet for
~ tourists and a plague spot In
the community. The fire follow
ing the earthquake swept Ii completely
out of existence, and in the opinion OF
many people its destruction was a
blessing in disguise. 1t was head
quarters for vice and crime, the depths
of which the officials Of San Francisco
were never able fully to sound. In the
new San Francisco care will be taken
to prevent the vices of the orient from
taking root so deeply as they did in the
old. How deep underground the chi
nese of San Francisco went in their
efforts to evade inspection Of thei
ways of living white men never knew,
but the fire has revealed the strange
and awesome facts. The ~confiagration
made a complete job of 1t in China
town. Not a single painted wooden
fabric was left. The flames ate down
TO pare ground, and joss houses. gam
bling dens. opium joints and theaters
all went up like so much tissue paper.
Hundreds of crazed yellow men fed
from the scene. bearing In their arms
opium pipes, money bags, ebony furni-
ture, silk hangings, clothing and such
other articles as they could snatch up
In their flight. Some who fingered to
save more of their property were driv-
en- out by soldiers when the flames
pressed close upon the colony, but even
the soldiers could not enter the holes
In the ground where slave women who
had lived for years without ever seeing
the light Of day were confined and
where the victims Of opium lay in a
stupor which even an earthquake could
not disturb. How many persisted In
these underground passages will
be known, but the fire has unmasked
the secrets of the hidden city and laid
bare tunnels leading down fifty. sixty,
perhaps a hundred feet into the ground.
The Chinese colony of San Francisco
is supposed to have numbered about
10000. The Chinese quarter was near
the old city hall and was full Of wind
ing alleys leading to all kinds of re-
sorts and Curious places of entertain
ment possessing a strange fascination
for tourists. The population lived both
above ground and under ground.
Above ground as many as Il dozen per-
sons often slept in an apartment which
a white man would consider too small

onIv the picturesque and more or less
pleasing side Of Chinatown. In me
underground city rich Celestial mer-
chants carried on a slave traffic. lep-
rosy fiourished, and numerous murders
were committed. Battles between the
stongs' were fought and the victims
buried far beneath the surface.
Rut now the catacombs In which
those deeds were done and In which
so many persons dragged out a miser-
able existence lie exposed to the glare
Of tbe sun. The new Chinatown, II such
n place exists In the San Francisco or
the future, will not rise above the holes
In the earth which a short time ago
were dens of vice. The Chinese are
being quartered at some distance Eom
the site of their former colony. and II
is prophesied that the conditions which
made the old Chinatown a plague spot
will never exist again. In the days
now gone by 1t was a very easy thing
for a highlander who had just shot or
stabbed a fellow countryman to get
away from the police. The roofs OF
many Of the buildings almost touched.
A fugitive would skip to a roof aud,
taking a plank. cross upon 1t to anoth-
err building and next to another, al
ways taking his bridge with him. Then
he would 20 down into In underground
passage and either remain hidden away
from the police or come up blocks
away from the scene of the crime and
escape suspicion in connection with II.

Rhyolite, New, May 9-In connection
with the threats of a citizens COM
mittee to drive ]. Gray out Of camp be-
q he had jumped several mining
claims in the Bullfrog district. hangs a
tale of how the committee also called
upon ex-senator William M. Stewart,
who had acted as the attorney for Gray
in the matter. The sparks flew. so the
story goes, when the interview began
with the hoary.headed old Senator,
who several times committed the com
mittee to the hot hereafter.
According to reports, the committee
warned Senator Stewart to advise nc
more persons to jump claims. and his
retort was not courteous. Compli
meuts were exchanged with more force
than elegance. and when the COMMITTED
withdrew there were angry faces al
around.

CONDITIONS ON THE COMSTOCK
As Shown By an Interview With
William 4. Sharon.


Superintendent w. Z. Sharon was
interviewed Wednesday by a represent.
alive of the Virginia Chronicle regard
ing the future Of the Comstock. He
said in part:
THE Comstock will feel the loss by
the destruction of San Francisco more
severely than any part of Nevada, for
the reason that the mines are run by
assessments. which are contributed
mostly by San Francisco people.
1.-THE life AMI future Of the Comstock
depends upon just what the stock
holders will do in the future, until
such time that something can be de-
veloped. l have great faith in this old
lode and if the people who are interest
ed in it will stand by as l feel sure
there are great bonanzas yet to be DIS
covered. All of the companies under
my charge will pay all they owe Just as
soon as the banks open for business,
which l think will be in the next tel
days. The resumption of work in thes
mines, however, will depend on tn
stockholders who pay the assessments

THE SAN FRANCISCO MINT
One of the Few Business Struc-

One of the most exciting incidents
In the history of the destruction OF San
Francisco was the feat Of the men who
saved the United States mint from be-
ing devoured by the flames along with
almost all the other structures In that
part of the city. The mint is an i'm
posing stone building. and its con

to resist to the utmost the attack OF
fire. But 1t was surrounded by large
buildings which were going up In

SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S GREAT LOSS
Railroad Compsny's Records Of
Incalculable Value Burned
in San Francisco.

The sense of security which the
Southern Pacific officials have enter
tanned ever since the fire about their
valuable documents in the vaults on
the seventh and eighth floors they &C.
cupied in the new Merchants Exchange
building in San Francisco, suffered a
rude shock last Sunday and Monday
when many Of the vaults were opened.
They found all the contents destroyed
aud also found much to their surprise
that the only steel used in the con
struction of the vaults was in the doors,
The rest was iron strips OF lathing and
plaster.
AS a conse Iuence. the various de-
partments have lost records aud docu.
ments of incalculable value and which
have been in process of accumulation
ever since the Central aud Union Pa.
ciic roads were opened as the first
transoontinental iron highway. Rec
ords lost to the passenger and other de.
partments a never be fully replaced
1t will take thousands Of dollars to even
partially replace them.
