'The City Was Toppled and Torn by Earthquake, and Devastated by Fire���People Crushed to Death by Ftillirijr Buildings��� Assistance - D'einy Sent���Other Cities StiU'ered' Losses. [SI'UC-IAI. TO TUG cri.ll.M.1 1 San Francisco, April i&.���Earth-, -quake and -fire have today caused the greatest calamity that the state ���of 'California has ever known. In San Francisco alone 'it is estimated that over oiiethousand persons have perished, while as many more -are ���suffeiing from injuries. The entire ��� business.portion of the city is already .in ruins .and the flames, ow- - ing' lo the wrecking of the city's water mains, fire halls and ap-. paratus by the severity of .the ���earthquake, cannot Be cheeked except by blowing up with dynamitenumeious buildings in their path. The dreadful shock, which came without a moment's warning, occurred at precisely 5.13 this morning. Its motion .was apparently lroin the east to the west. At first the up- ��� iieaval of the earth was slight and gradual, but it increased rapidly in intensity and the vibration, which lasted for several seconds, became turbulent aud appalling. Panic- stricken people, clad only in their night attire, rushed pell-mell into ���the streets, where they were met by showeis of falling buildings, ���bricks, timbers, cornices, walls, etc. Many were thus instantly crushed lo death and scores of others were ���dreadfully mangled. Those who 1 remained indoors were more lucky .and, although many painful injuries were received, the majority escaped with their lives. The horror and misery of the situation was at once augmented by the innumerable fires which immediately followed the earthquake and which, owing to the lack of water and fire fighting' apparatus, ���soon engulfed Ihe entire section of the city extending from Market street to the waterfront. The, latest reports show that,the entire district bounded by Vallejo, Howard and East'Sansome streets and the waterfront, embracing practically the entire; wholesale portion of the city, has been clean swept by the fire. Also, the district; bounded by Second, Market, Eighth and Folsoin streets has been entirely devastated. In the latter district were located the city's finest and most substantial buildings. .San Francisco, April iSth, S p.m. ������The area covered by flames at the present time is about eight miles square, including several hundreds of city7blocks. The damages caused up lo lliis hour are conservatively estimated at one hundred millions o[ dollars. Most of the buildings1 so far untouched by flames have been greatly damaged by the shocks.' cThe outlying districts within a radius of one hundred miles'suffered" equally wilh San Francisco in sever-' ity of shock, and as far as can be' learned at present a similar scourge' of flames is ravaging many of the: smaller towns and villages through-' out ihe afflicted district." j The telegraph and telephone companies were badly crippled by the earthquake shocks. Both the Postal' and.Western Union telegraph, as well a's the Pacific telephone buildings, were destroyed. The com-' panies are establishing . offices' -atj Oakland, but even there the facili-, ties have been greaitly crippled and' the systems generally demoralized.' San Francisco, April 19th, 10 a.m.���General Fuhstan has wired Washington -that -over one hundred' thousand people are'homeless and' that the number of people killed may reach 2,000. The authorities are unable to -bury the unidentified dead and the navy department, in response to an appeal, has placed' several warships at the city's disposal to'take the bodies to sea for burial before decomposition sets in' and causes a plague. The situation this morning is appalling. Crowds of people searohed the morgues for dead and missing' relatives all .night .loiig. One hundred aud fifty persons," who were' driven insane by agony aud the excitement, have been taken into custody. The loss from destruction of pro-' perty now amounts to $200,000,000 or more. - Oakland, Berkley, Sacramento, Alameda and many other places were badly wrecked but, as the telegraph lines are down in all directions, it is impossible to get full, reports from fhem. San Francisco, April 19th, 1.58 p.m., via courier to Oakland.���The whole city is absolutely at 'the mercy of the flames and it looks as if all the residential sections will be wiped out before 'the conflagration can be got in hand. The very vitals of the city have already been consumed and not a shred ofthe business section remains. New fires have started in fifty different places throughout the residential sections-and all efforts to cope with the destructive flames are unavailing. "Nob" hill and. the entire fashionable residence ���., district Jias been completely destroyed! The outlaw element is appearing in many of the streets and numerous cases of theft are known to have been committed. They have gone even further aiid already the. soldiers, acting under official orders, have shot and . killed four ghouls who were caught perpetrating their nefarious crime. : The Mechanics payillipiv -where some 500 bodies which had been recovered Hum the deb:is of different buildings had.been placed awaiting identification, caught fire and is. now in ashes. "Many of (the bodies' had been removed by relatives or friends, 'but it is stated that fully two hundred of .the* corpses were cremated. " ! There is not a -single street in. which life is safe aud everywhere! fatal accidents are constantly occur-1 ring from falling walls. Although the street-lighting system is utterly demoralized, all outlying sections of the city were last night 'brilliantly and luridly illuminated by the many fires. ��� ��� Over three thousand injured people have been taken 'to "the hospitals but, as many of these institutions are now threatened by the on-coming fire, the injured are, as rapidly as possible, being removed to improvised tents in Golden Gate park. Fully ten -square miles of territory, formerly containing the choicest portions of the city, are now devastated. . Over a thousand residential blocks and fifteen hundred business blocks are in the ruins. ��� TIIK I.ATJ'ST. : San Francisco, '10.40 a.m., April' 20th.���San Francisco is no more.' Mercilessly unsalable fires arc licking up the remnants of the former proud city. The raging flames defy dynamite, back-firing and (ill oilier stratagems known to fire-fighters. Last night 300,000 men, women and children; 'formerly wealthy and1 poor; society people aiid working- men; those of the best families and outcasts; slept in the open air at Golden Gate park and on- the beach at -the Cliff House, and knew no cast or class.

Conra'Jl, City, about three miles up the arm 011 the north side, and Wynlon, five miles nii-flier up on the same side and just over the Yukon ������bonndar}" in British Columbia. Conrad City, which was started last summer by those in control of the Conrad Consolidated Mines, >is situate at 'the end 'Ot the partially erected Irani line and is quite a promising little town, although at the present time it is comparatively small with only a' few buildings. At presellt it is the depot tor-all freight .teams from outside as well as the pack train to the mine. Wynlon, in our own province, has an .almost ideal situation for -a townsite. The ground has a gradual slope from the lake buck; to the mountains, giv'iig all an excellent view. The townsite is almost in Ihe shape of a half circle three- quarters surrounded by water and, facing the southeast, receives the full benefit of-the sun. The soil is loamy and free from rock;;. Thereis a very clear stream from the moiui- Tdins running" through.-the tovfffr a{fording ample water for power, domestic and fire-fighting purposes. At the present lime there .are under course of ���construction two very large two-story hotels., a 11 umber*of smaller buildings and' a saw mill, which latter will probably be rttn- ���ning'ihis u-ecct week. Of course great rivalry exists between the various parties interested in the two towns and both are loud in their praises. A-s to which will be the larger town depends entirely upon tlie quarts mines in its immediate -vicinity and, from the present showing, it looks -as though Wynlon will have a decided ad- ' vantage. But. it is a little premature at present.to make any emphatic statement. There will be great activity till over the Windy Arm district a::id for from .40 to 50 miles southerly in B. C. Some very excellent outcrops have been located and sales are easily made. The work on the Conrad Consolidated Mines, of which 1). Mann, of Messrs. ���/MqK.enzie ��� &.

ENGLISH SPELLING. Our telegraphic budget of last- week contained the announcement that another attempt at the reform of the English language, by simplifying the spelling of words, as re- ,' commended by Andrew Carnegie, is to be made by a board of American educationalists. With an exchange we would ask: Will ihN attempt to grapple with the difficulty be more successful in achieving its object than those that have gone before? That the English language, marvellous such as' it unquestionably is, has the defects of iis rare qualities there can be no doubt. Can the defects be eliminated without destroying the structural beauty of the language? The difficulties in the way even of ' conservative reforms are very great. For instance, no one -would or could reduce the number of the sounds of the vowels, and that is fatal to the doctrine of strict phonetic' spelling. The mere existence of difficulties is, however, no more an argument against reasonable reform than it would be in the industrial or political sphere. That the progress towards rational simplification must be very slow and sweetly reasonable is evident from the comparatively small number of men who have been induced to accept the fruits of past reforms. How few can see any advantage from changing "technic" for "technique" for instance, "pro- feshun" for "profession," or "thru" for "through"? Yet these changes are undoubtedly in Ihe line of simplicity. The process of adapting the language to .the needs of the people has been going on for centuries. It is when we compare our spelling today with that of Chaucer and Spencer, or even with that of Shakespeare and Bacon, that we realize the extent of it. Spelling changes are like the addition of words and locations to the language. They must be gradual and they must be the outgrowth of needs that are distinctly felt, and to ensure geneial adoption they must commend themselves to tasle and intelligence. ALASKA-YUKON FAIR. The Alaska-Yukon fair proposition was duly launched at a banquet given at Seattle by the. Alaska club on the 1 itii inst. Ex-Mayor Bal- lingcr, ol' t>ai(le, presided. The speakers said it would be necessary for Seattle to raise $500,000 to make the fair a success. Telegrams were seul to Govenier McFnnes, of the Yukon, and Dr. Thompson, M. P. for Yukon,' at Ottawa, who were awaiting the outcome of the meeting before asking the Dominion government for assistance-. It was explained that on account of the Jamestown fair next year and the Alaska election in 190S, the fair should not be held before 1909. The dates were left unsettled. Seattle has promised to put her shoulder to the wheel mid raise Ihe amount of monev demanded of her. Why sknii <n"c wni'.s von <'.\;<' c.'.'.v <inni)S ak riiUAr hv.ue? Atlin.

"-Go and dig there.!" advised a facetious miner, thinking to play a joke on the confiding tenderfoot who had asked where he would better begin his mining. He pointed as he spoke to a crumbling prospect hole, 'long before abandoned as ground utterly barren. But to the -eyes of inexperience one spot looked :as promising as another, and the young fellow promptly lent himself ���to the unguessed humor of the situation with the result that in less sthan a day's work he had uncovered .one of the richest veins of tellurium -ever opened in that camp. He was ���still so ignorant of what he had found ��� that when another joker offered to sink the shaft forty feet ibr a half interest in the claim, the ���opportunity to relieve a pair of blistered palms was hailed as a god- ���sencl. Yet, that forty feet of sink- dug paid something like $50,000, while, first and last, the great Mel- vinii mine of Boulder county, Colo- .rade, has yielded close to $700,000. ���Mining and Engineering Review, ;San Francisco.
