NEW SHOCKS ALARM SURVIVORS
Complete Ruin Of crumbllno Build
ines In Southern italy and Sicily

Complete Ruin Of crumbllne Build
inos In Southern italy and Sicily.
Rome, Jan. 3. - Although graphic
stories are coming into Rome Of the
horrors In Southern Italy and Sicily,
those are but repetitions of indi-
vidual tragedies already recorded.
What chiefly concerns the govern
ment and the people is the progress
that is being made toward the relief
Of those who have suffered by the
dreadful visitation. Considerable ad-
vance in this respect has been made
at Messina, where, according to off,
cial reports received here, the supply
service is beginning to work satisfac-
torily. The different regions on the
coast have been allotted to various
warships and other ships as centers
from which torpedo boats and launch
es convey and distribute rations and
water to the different villages.
More Shocks Felt.
The minister of justice has wired
from Messina to Premier Goilitti that
large bodies of troops have arrived
and are now occupying all parts Of
the town. The appalling extent of the
disaster renders anything like sys-
tematic search of the ruins impossi-
BILE, but persons are being dragged
out all day long and are quickly trans
ported to the relief ships as soon as
their wounds have received attention.
There were slight shocks felt il the
earthquake zone yesterday, complet-
ing the ruin of the crumbling build
ings. Those shocks are contributing
to the keeping up of the alarm Of the
population. Fires are still burning,
although much rain has fallen. The
latest Investigations on both sides Of
the straits make it certain that many
more than half the population of
the coast towns and villages have
been killed.
More Than 100000 Dead.
Prof. Rico, director of the observa-
tory at Mount Aetna, estimates that
the victims of the earthquake exceed
100000. Hundreds of dangerous GRIM

Later dispatches state that the city

adjacent suffered al severely.
Dispatches from Catania describe
Messina as appearing like huge in

Heirs Fighting for Fortune of Dunsmuir Brothers in
 Old Dominion

VICTORIA, B. C., December p. One of the greatest will contests ever fought out in America is expected to come to trial here some time within the next two or three weeks. The contest is between the heirs of the late John Dunsmuir and James Dunsmuir, who has just retired from the post of lieu tenant governor of British Columbia. A fortune valued at between $l5 5000. 900 and $20,000,000 is involved in the fight.
 Mrs. Joan Dunsnuir was the widow of Robert Dunsmuir, who made a col losal fortune by developing the family coal mines at Nanaimo, on Vaneouver Island. The coal deposits were not only of great extent but of excellent qual- ity. So superior was the Vancouver article that it was able to go down to San Francisco and, handicapped by a hostile tariff, practically put the United States coal out of business. It was ex- ported to Japan, and wherever it came in competition with other American or English coal, it more than held it's own. When Robert Dunsmuir died, twenty years ago, this great export trade in coal had attained huge proportions. If had demanded fleet of vessels and several lines of railway, all cf which

ment and Miles has the support of many local democrats, the position is his, un- less he should change his mind and de- cline to accept the job, it is stated in democratic circles.
 The salary of this office has not as yet been fixed by the local board of supervisors, by whom the compensation will be established. It will be between $100 and $125 a month, however, it is understood.
 The appointment of the new road overseer will be made by the county board of supervisors on Monday, Jan uary 3, the first meeting of next year. The appointee will file a bond and take his position at once.
 By an act adopted at the last session of the legislature, all road overseers in each county are abolished, beginning with the first of next year, the county road superintendent having charge of the inspection O. all roads in the diff terent counties, after that time.
 The position is one of much import ance to tke county, as the manner in which the county road superintendent carries out his duties will have direct effect upon the condition of the roads in Gila county.
 Beginning with the next county elec- tion, this position will be filled by cleo. tion instead of by appointment.

 After long and sensational trial MT. Justice Drake of Victoria decided that the will must stand. Miss Hopper. the plaintiff, was far from satisfied with this decision, and carried the case from eourt to court until it reached the Privy Council. On August 6, 1906, the judi cial committee of the Privy Council recommended the dismissal of the ap- peal and the actress was thereby finally debarred from handling a penny of the Dunsmuir millions. Whether the pres ent contestants will be more successful in their efforts to wrest a part of the great fortune from the bands of the former lieutenant governor of the prov ince is a question in which all of west em Canada is displaying keen inter- est

GRAVEYARD IN BADLY
 DILAPIDATED CONDITION
GIobc, Deeember 2l. l9O9.

Globe, December 2l, 1909 Editor Silver Belt,
 Dear Sir 1 would like to ask through your columns who has the caretaking or charge of the city cemetery. From present appearances it puts me in mind of the Christopher Columbus cemetery in Havana before we took charge of it. The only difference is that instead of the bone yard, we see here single graves that look like a mound, numerous sun ken ones, dilapidated fences, footprints of horses and dogs on the graves and the general appearance that this home of the dead and our loved ones was visited by quake. It is disgrace to progressive Globe. l paid q visit to it last Sunday with some visiting friends. I was sorry afterwards that 1 did not suggest a trip to Miami. Although not member of the K. of P. order, l will give them all the credit for caretaking. The grounds and location are fine and could be made beautiful place at small expense to those whose dear ones are sleeping there. As l cannot do justice to this, or pen my thoughts, hope some one that has the gift will finish what I try to interest,
 How soon we are forgotten!
