ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE VISITS
THIS SECTION OF ALASKA

Last Saturday night, about 10
o'clock, this district was visited by
another earthquake, and, although
no damage resulted, several people
felt decidedly uneasy for time
Distinct shocks and tremblers
were experienced all owe. Iditarod
City, at Flat City. and on various
parts of the creeks When the
earth trembled lamps swayed, ia
bles, chairs and beds moved Fl om
their accustomed positions, houses
rocked, dogs howled and men and
women rushed into the streets. On
the other hand, some residents
peacefully slumbered aud others
continued about their business, all
unconscious that the quake had
come and gone.
The shocks lasted all the way
from 80 seconds to 80 minutes, &C
cording to the imagination OF the
teller, but the former figure is the
one most generally accepted. Any
how it was quite long enough.
On Sunday reports came in from
Kaltag, Old Woman, and other
points on the lower Yukon, regard
ing similar disturbances i'll the
neighborhood of those places, so
upheayal seems to have been gen
eral.
One result of the earthquake
seems to have been general clear
ing Of the atmosphere, which had
been heavy and oppressive for sew
eral days, and Oh Tuesday there
were showers of much needed rain.
