Humboldt County Suffers Most
The damage done in Winnemucca
by the big shock was probably great
er than in any other place in the
State except Kennedy section. which
may have been the actual center of
the disturbance. says the Star.
In Winnemucca a number of brick
buildings were damaged to some ex-
tent. Fully half the brick chimneys
in town were either thrown down or
damaged so that repairs we're neces-
sary. The greatest damage to any
building was at Winneva hall, where
the fire walls were thrown down and
the front of the building was cracked.
The gable ends of the adobe addi-
ton to the Winnemucca hotel were
thrown down. Here the twisting
motion of the earth was shown. One
of the brick chimneys which was
broken was not thrown into the
street. like the others. The part of
this chimney above the break was
twisted around nearly a quarter of a
turn, but remained upright. Near
the south approach of the levee lead
ing to the county bridge. the water
main was broken and the street
flooded.
Though many small windows were
broken throughout the town, only
one large plate glass window was
broken, this at the f. Reinhart store.
At the Diehl lodging house on
Bridge street part of the real brick
wall was thrown down. Part of the
frewall at the new Overland hotel
also fell out.
The greatest damage done by the
shock was at Kennedy, 60 miles south
of Winnemucca, and in Pleasant val
ley. In Kennedy nearly every build
ing was wrecked. as were the barns
at the S. Saird, w. L. Pearce and
Cooper & Uniacke ranches. On this
latter ranch the ground sank several
feet in places and the water came up
Commissioner Cooper states that
for Is miles along the foothills north
of his ranch the line of a break or
fssure caused by the earthquake
could be seen. Along this break the
ground sank from six to twelve feet,
the appearance from a distance being
as if a new roadway had been graded
along the foothills.
L. st. DeRoylance, general mana
ger of the Roylance Reduction Com
pany. stated that his plant in Ken
nedy was considerably damaged. One
big solution tank was thrown down
and some of the machinery was
broken. Mr.. St. DeRoylance says
that at Kennedy the first shock &C.
Cured at 3:40 Saturday afternoon
and the shaking continued almost
continuously until 1910 that night,
when he left to come to Winnemucca.
At Golconda the shock caused the
roadway to sink several inches at
each end of the Southern Pacific
bridge across the Humboldt. The
Southern Pacific water tanks at Bat
tie Mountain, Lovelock, Parran and
Kodak we're thrown down.
