San Francisco Destroyed
Seven Years Ago Today

Seven years ago yesterday, at a few
minutes after 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, San Francisco was visited by the
most severe earthquake in its history.
Shortly after the shocks subsidized
the city was visited by fire, which laid
waste practically the whole business
section and a large part OF the resi-
dental districts.
About 5:lS o'clock the sleeping
thousands of the city were awaken
ed by the swaying of buildings, by
falling plaster and crashing walls.
Water mains were broken and, by
the time the terrified people gained
the street, fires were breaking out in
the South of Market street. in the
vicinity OF the Palace Hotel.
Without water. the firemen were
unable to cope with the flames and
soon the whole region south of mar
ket was burning fercely.

ser have negotiated for the Frank

ranch. developing sufficient water to
irrigate the main property. With this
water on the place it makes one Of
the finest small holdings In this sec
ton 1t is understood that relatives

farm.
At the present time Mr.. Esser is
putting in his time blowing and plant

PUMPING
TROUBLES
More WOrdy War is
on Tap Again

The Pumping war has been renew
ed on the Comstock as the Pumping
Association has emphatically declined
10 accept the terms offered by the
Mexican Company. IN open letter
published in the San Francisco and
Comstock papers is to the effect that
the Association is satisfied with its
present manager, A. +. Coffin. and
declines 10 fire him as suggested by
Superintendent. Symmes. The letter
declares that Symmes is an extrava-
CANT and incompetent manager and
that he ran the company in debt
The letter further states that the
Mexican Company cannot withdraw
from the Association as the contracts
are so worded that the company will
have TO contribute its pro rata OF
pumping expenses.
In all it is a hot reply to the
Symmes people. and the war has
been renewed. So far there has been
no direct reply to the charges set
forth in the Symmes letter published
some time ago. in which he charged

ACTIVITY
IS SHOWN
At SILVER
Old Camp is Making
Bullion From Mines

Parties coming from Silver City
state that this is one of the busiest
little mining camps in Nevada. While
little noise is being made about the
finds in Silver, the fact remains that
it is a steady bullion producer and
there is a continuous lot of work
going on in the camp.
The name Silver City is most mis-
leading, as the ores from the camp
are as a class gold The bullion runs
sufficiently high in the yellow metal
to be marketed at the Carson Mint
The mint in this city handles many
a batch of bullion during the year
from this camp.
Jim Woodbury., Jr., who has taken
charge of the Woodbury. cyanide
plant, has the wheels going and more
bullion will be the record from old

Later in the day the fire jumped
across Market and ragged up Kearney
Street, finally sweeping southeasterly
to Van Ness Avenue, where the dyna-
mite squad finally saved the remain
der of the city from destruction
The loss of life was great and the
destruction of property appalling.
Despite the apparently hopeless
task that confronted them, the peo-
pie of San Francisco Immediately set
about rebuilding their city and to-day
sees San Francisco greater. better
and more prosperous than ever.
With each recurring anniversary of
the great disaster, the minds of those
who went through the terrible days
of the big fire are filed with kindly
thoughts of those of this and other
nations who so nobly came to the
help on this city in the days of bread
lines and refugee camps.
