 SQUIRREL RIVER - -..,
Stampeder Says Mccarthy Trail
  Has All Others Beaten to
 FrazzIe.

Jerry Leaning, wno recently arrived ill Juneau from Mccarthy on the Chisana trail says that en r ute to the alleged diggings is not pleasure boulevard. After losing horse in the quagmires near Glacier creek he turned back. He has been in. every camp from ketchikan to Point Barrow, including Dawson and Nome and was over the awful slough of '97 between Skagway and Bennett. It is his belief that the trail from Mccarthy has them all beaten to a fraZZlc.
 The prospects so far reported on the Chisana including the working claims Mr.. Leaning says are almost identical with the Squirrel river diggings in the Ko- buck section above Seward penin- sula. The only pay that has been found on Squirrel river was in the one spot and it was good. But there were only two OF three claims that produced anything.

EARTHQUAKE AT Knoxville.
Disturbance Of Short Duration But Con
siderable Violence.

Knoxville.-This city experienced no
less than panic when it was rocked
by an earthquake of short duration but
OF considerable violence. People rushed
out OF buildings in the business district
and out Of their homes, under the inn
preston that the city had been shaken
by tremendous boiler explosion. Re.
ports flew thick and fast that such and
such a boiler had blown up, that there
had been a serious dynamite explosion,
and with it the power works at Mar
low, 16 miles away, had been demol-
ished Investigation OF all these re.
ports was without results. Neighboring
towns telephones in, saying that they
heard the explosion and felt the shock,
and laboring under the impression that
Knoxville had been wiped off the map
by some gigantic explosion, breathed
easier when informed that no damage
had been done locally. The earthquake
ratified dishes and shook articles from
shelves, but there was no damage. The
shock seems to have been felt at a mum

PREVIOUS ESTIMATES OF
FATALITIES EXAGGERATED.

Dayton, Ohio - Eight hundred
dead is the yerage estimate Of
seven-eighths Of Dayton's undertake
ers, called together for conference
They reported 50 bodies had been
recovered, and now are at various
places In the city.
Individual estimates Of the under.
takers were from 500 to 1000, but the
consensus was that 500 would be a
conservative figure.
Exploration of several recesses Of
the city by newspaper men hardly
would justify such an estimate.
That the death toll will not greatly
exceed 200 is the estimate of leading
citizens who made personal can
vass.
Former Estimate Exaggerated.
Previous estimates of the number
drowned are greatly exaggerated.
The property loss from fire will not
exceed $1,500,OO0.
The damage caused to mercantile
houses, factories and residences will
run anywhere from $15,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000.
The water has receded from the
business section of the city and from
a large part of the residence portion.
Residents in portions still inundat-
al are being taken to sections not af.
fected by the food.
There is no lack of food. The tele-
phone systems are being restored.
Militiamen in Control.
One thousand militiamen arriving
have the city in rigid control, effec-
lively squelching hooters, sightseeing
that will interfere with rescue work
and all disorder.
Chief of Police Allaback reports he
had received indications that the ia

The number Of dead n all the af-
feeted cities in Ohio and Indiana may

Sixty bodies have already been

Unverified figures from Miamlsburg,
Ohio, give so dead.
No confirmation was received Of 80
drowned at Venice.
At chilllcothe and Tiffin, where re-
ports of SO or more dead, each found
10 corpses. The best figures from
Piqua give death toll Of so persons,
Fremont and MiddIetown, Ohio, each
has IA dead; Massillon five, and
GAINESVILLE four
The Indiana total drowned dwindIed
to fewer tran SO, distributed as fol-
lows: Peru, 20; BrookviIle, 16; Fort
