It shows that practically all ot San Francisco has been minted or 1s burning. The Information was brought by sergeant Blnkley, U. S. A., who said: "A section bounded by Union and Oc- tavia streets and Golden Gate avenue, and another lying between Market, Hayes and 'Fillmore streets ara about all that Is left of the city north of Market street, whlcn has not yet been burned. The prospects are, however, that It will go because nothing can stop the names until they reach the straggling outskirts of the city." The officials of the Postal Telegraph company In this city at 8.35 p.m., received the . following message from Mr. Storrer, the superintendent ot their service in San Francisco: "The Ire ls still going on and will probably consume the whole city, except those streets situated between the Uolden Gate park and Webster street, In which neighborhood there is water and where the lire department can work wtth some chance of success, San Francisco, April 19.—All efforts to check the flames at Van Ness avenue thy blowing up a mile ot buildings on the least side of the avenue have proved fruitless. The flre has spre'd across the broad thoroughfare and from'present indications the entire western addition, whtch contains the homes of San Francisco's millionaires and people of the ■wealthier data, la now doomed. The destruction of the western addition of the «lty practically completes the work of tbe ravaging flames and marks the devastation of the entire city. San Francisco, April 19.—With each succeeding hour the devaluation of this stricken ruin of a city grows and grows. At 6 o'clock tonight it seemed as if nothing could save the comparatively small portion of the city that-yet remained unburned. The entire business district - is now only a glowing furnace, white the giant tongues of lire have reached westward far beyond Van Ness avenue and is wiping out buildings and seeking more to devour. At 4 o'clock mayor Schmlts and chief Dlnan saw tha't the only hope of saving the western division with its forest ol frame dwelling and the Richmond district with its thousands of homes, was to check the cruel march of the wall ot flre at Van Ness avenue which crosses the city from north to south where the retail stores and flre apartment house district ends and where the residence section begins. This avenue is 90 feet wide and the possibilities of checking the march ot the flames here looked hopeful. Orders were given to concentrate ■every flre engine at this avenue, to mar- sball troops ot soldiers .there, the police, tand all the army of workers and make 'I 'one last determined stand to save the iremainder of the city. The co-operation tot the artllleery was secured and huge •cannon were drawn to. the avenue to aid . t the dynamiters in blowing up the man- islons of the millionaires on the west .aide ot Van Ness in order to prevent the 'dunes leaping across the highway. Every available pound of dynamite was haul- •ed to the spot and the sight was one ot ^stupendous havoc aa the cannon were 'trained on the palaces and the shot tore Into the wails and toppled the buildings In crashing ruins. At other points the dynamite was used and house after house —dwellings worth millions— were lifted Into the air by the power of the blast end dropped to the earth a mass of dust «nd debris. The work was necessarily dangerous and many of the exhausted workmen kept taint and worked through e. stretch o( t» hour, without sleep and scarcely any food through force or Instinctive heroism alone.. Many ot the workers In placing th. bt.»tt took chance, of Injury or death. The tire line at adx o'clock extend, a mile along Van NHS avenue, from Pacific street to Kills. All behind this, excepting the Hue- ..Ian hlU r-tfon, and a .maH dlstrlet nortti ha. been swept clean by the name, and great Med hulks of building, and pipes and .haft, and wire. hay. been dropPeU Into the molten mas* of debrl. like so much melted wax. .... The steady booming of the artillery and the roar of the dynamite above the howl .and cracking ot lite names continue, with monotonous regularity. There •ftm»„',° 5!; *n irr.ilrt.t>le power behind th. dames That even the dfiperately heroic measures Ming taken ot Van Net. avenue could , While the heroic fire fighters were mak ing their last stand at the flre line on Van Nest avtnue, panlo reigned among the turvivors In other parts ot the city. The Intense beat and the absence ot water haa been so terrible that scores have become frantic and other* have '.dropped from exhaustion In the streets. i The atreett are ttill choked with refu- i ftea hurrying hither ud thither, Kramb- llng wildly for an avenue of escape. 1 Since early morning when the mat ruth I -of flame doomed the hotel aad apart ment houae districts along Bills, O'Far- rell and Sutter streets, men, women end children have been rushing under heavy loads, some of them to the ferries, ln the hope of getting to Oakland, others to the hills, Golden Gate park, the ocean beach; the Presidio and San Mateo way. The trip to the hills and to the water front was one of terrible hardship. Famishing women and children and exhausted men were kept walking several mllea around the north shore In order to avoid the flames and reach the ferries. Many dropped to the street under the weight of their loads, and willing fathers and husbands, their strength almost gone strove to pick them up and urge them forward again. _ In the panic many mad things are being done, Even the soldiers have to prevent men and women, made insane from the misfortune that hat engulfed them, from rushing into doomed buildings tn the hope ot saving valuables from the ruins. In nearly every instance such action has resulted tn death to those who tried It, Probably 200,000 refugees are struggling to get out of the city tad hourly the task is becoming more difficult as the lire and-heat cut oft avenue after avenue of escape. The streets are Ailed with struggling people, srylng and weeping and calling tor missing loved ones. Crowding all sidewalks In unburned areas are thousands and thousands of homeless people. In some Instances men Wtth ropes ' are dragging trunks behind them. Others have sewing machines strapped on the trunks. Women are rushing far the hills carrying In tnelr arms only a family cat or a bird cage. There is no aid for any one from outside sources. In the awful scramble for safety the half erased survivors disregard everything but thoughts of themselves and their property. In every excavation and bolo throughout the North beach district householders are burying their effects, throwing them Into ditches and covering the holes up. Attempts are made to mark ttie graves of the property so that lt cun be recovered after the flames are appeased. Sufferer, are invading what few buildings remain in the hope of finding something to eat. They only desist when warned or shot at by soldiers. At thc Kerry building & crowd of a thousand people were gathered begging food or transportation across the bay. Hundreds had not even the ten cent fare to Oakland. Most of. the refugees are Chinamen and Italians, wno fled from their homes with little or no personal property. Tonight the sufferltii; of many from hunger ls extreme. On the waterfront what bread ls to be hud Is being sold at a dollar a loaf and in some Instances a much higher price. At 6 p.m. a mob of IW men held up » bread wagon and took the contents. The police made an effort to Interfere but were powerless. Bread is beginning to arrives from uerK- elcy and Oakland and I. being diifirluuicu In the-north cud of town by the rellet parties organised .by mayor .Sonmits. Thousands of people an sleeping on tho hills tonight or standing gating with grim faces, on the lurid scene below them. Women and children and little babes tu arms are huddlod together with the injured and the calls of frantic survivors for friend, and relatives who are missing i are most pitiful. These crowds are constantly Increasing and the relief committee are doing all in .heir power to get bedding and food for the homeless. LIKE RATS IIUTRAP Tales Told by Refugees of the Mad Rush to Escape From City Streets Filled With Half Dressed People Wild With Fear While BalldlB-ls Were Topplini* Down ill Around Then Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda are short of food and In a few days will themselves tie facing a serious shortage unlets relief comes from the outside. Express men are charging from $25 to ISO to haul a load of baggage or give any aid to refugees. Liquor stores in the north end were robbed and hundreds of men carried away the bottled goods. When the soldiers arrived the men had to be clubbed before they would drop tbe bottles. Soldiers smashed tbe bottles on the stones and drove the mob at the point of the bayonet When the mansions on Nob Hill, the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins institute were approached by flames today many attempts were made to remove some of the priceless works of art trom the buildings. A crowd et soldiers were sent to the Flood and Huntington mansions and Mark Hopkins institute of art to rescue the paintings. From the Huntington home and the Flood mansion canvasses were cut from tbe frames with knives. The collections in the three buildings are valued In tbe hundreds ot thousands. Very tew were saved from the ravages ot the flre flend. This afternoon at 4 o'clock the cadets of the university of California to the number of 600 entered the city to aid the militia and regular soldiers in enforcing martial law. They have orders to shoot without warning those caught looting. In many parts of the town where the crowds ot survivors are the wildest, ll ls Impossible to get around even at the piBtol point The soldiers are disarming every person seen with a gun. The only institution on Market street able to do business Is, according to a reputable business man wno reached the ferry late tonight, the Market Btreet bank occupying the Oram building and 7th and Market streets. Although tne upper part of the building waa wiped out the que. occupied .by the bank waa practically undamaged. San Francisco, April U-Wlth the burning of the St. Francis hotel, which »'«» consumed today, ov« HMO.00O went up in smoke. Um Angeles, April 19.—J. Rltter, of Houston, said: "I was in the Golden West hotel when the flrst shock came. When I awoke the hotel was shaking like a cradle. While I was dressing the rear wall fell into the dining room. 1 was dressed by the time the second shock oarae and was going to ruBh out but the appeals of the women on the same floor stopped me. With some of the other men guests on the same floor we managed to get the women out It was no slight task, most of the women were hysterical. The flrst sight outside was that of naked and half dressed persons ln the streets, running about crying, screeching, wild with fear, while buildings were toppling down around them and choking up the streets. Many were wrapped only in bed clothes. It took me two hours to get around the flre and across the bay. I think the entire city will be destroyed." It. A. Cole, a horseman, well known the country over, was at the Palace hotel Wednesday morning. "My God! I never saw anything like it," said he. "I have seen things too. I was In the St Ijutis cyclone and the Baltimore flre. They were nothing. Man, you can't imagine it. I saw all San Francisco staggering and rocking and then in flames. I wanted to rush down and jump Into the hay and shut out tbe awful sight." Mrs. Agnes Selnit, hotel Broadway, said: "I was stopping at 35 5th street, San Francisco. The rear of the house collapsed and the landlady and about 30 of tue roomers were killed. I escaped simply because I had a front room and when I got out the roof and stairs had collapsed in the hear half of the house. Out in the street it was impossible to find a clear pathway. I saw another lodging house near ours collapse, I think It must have been 39 5th street, and I know all the Inmates were killed for the wreck was complete. In ten minutes the entire block uf Mission street was iu flames."- Los Angeles. April ID-Egbert H.

Some of them are refugees from San Francisco who have no place to go and are satisfied to stand around and take part in the secene of excitement attending the arrival of trains. This morning this sign, In large characters, was hung tn the vestibule of the 7th street depot: . • "Southern Paclflc Railroad Co., offlce of the superintendent, Oakland Pier: To agents,—At 8.40 o'clock am. an order from general Fnntton, the commanding officer at San Francisco was received as follows: 'Do not furnish passage to a single person to San.

Many of the women are bareheaded and all* of them show fatigue and the result ot sleeplessness and exposure. . Early this morning representatives of the Oakland general relief committee appeared on the streets and especially at the Broadway depot One of the immediate effects has been the raising of restaurant prices from 25 to 100 per cent.

At that time the city seemed doomed. I remained but a few minutes, then made my way back to the ferry sta- tlon. 1 hope I may never be called upon to pass through such nn experience again. People by the thousands, and seemingly devoid of reason, were crowded around tlie ferry station. At the Iron gates they clawed with their handti as so many maniacs. They sought to break the bars with their hands and falling in that turned upon each other. Fighting my way to the gate like the others, the thought came Into my.mind 'What rats In a trap wc are.'

Oakland, April 19.—Oakland, the largest Buburb of San Francisco, tonight housed and fed probably 50,000 refugees' of the flre Btricken city across the bay. All day the stream of humanity has poured from the ferries, everyone carrying some sort of hand baggage and other articles saved trom the conflagration. Thousands of Chinese, men, women and children, all carrying luggage to the limit of their strength and fleeing from the quarters that nave long been one of the show places of San Francisco. Visitors mingled with the crowds and poured into the limited Chinese section of Oakland. Thousands beselged the telegraph offices and the rush became so great that soldiers were stationed at the doors to keep them In line and allow only as many to peas as could find standing room at the counters. During the greater part of the day there has been a throng of people loiter-' MAYOR'S PR-O-CLAHATION. Looters To Be Shot on 8ight—Citizens Asked to Stay Home at Night.

President Harrlman of the Southern Paclflc company has wired the officials here to place the company's ferry boats at the disposal of the San Francisco municipal authorities to enable them to send all those desiring from the stricken elty.

Unless supplies are rushed In and arrangements made for their distribution, trouble is feared within a few days. Even men of wealth cannot obtain food with all their money. Generals Funston and Sumner, in command of the federal troops, are rendering great service. Refugees who go to the Presidio are being taken care of but the number that can be accommodated ls limited. Except for an occasional accident there has been no additional loss of life reported since yesterday. People have had time to leave the burning districts, though most of them have lost all their belongings. Thousands upon thousands of people are fleeing from the fire today. They are flocking to the terries, to the parks, to the military reservations and to the suburbs. Residents of the hillside and central portion of the city, seemingly safe from the roaring furnace that was consuming tbe business section, watched the towering columns of Homo and speculated as to the extent of the territory which was doomed. Suddenly there was whispered alarm up and down the long lino of watching people, and they hurried away to drag supplies, clothing, cooking uton- alls and scant provisions through the streets. From Grant avenue the procession moved westward. Men and women dragged trunks, packed huge hundlcB of (blankets, 'boxes of provisions—everything. Wagons could not be hired except by paying the most extortionate rates. But there Is no panic. The people are calm—stunned. They seem not to realize the extent of the calamity. They hear that the city ls destroyed, in so far as the business plants are concerned; they tell each other in the most natural tone tbat their residences are destroyed by the flames, but there is no hysteria, no outcry, no criticism. Mayor Schmltz and chief of police Dinan have ben forced from place to place by tbe rushing flames. Daybreak found them directing the municipal coin- j oil, which Is a committee of safety, from the Fairmont hotel, the beautiful structure that stood on the top of Knob hill. But that caught flre and thoy retreated to the curbing at Larkln und Suttot streets, then to the north end police station in Sacramento (street, Hero the council, composed of the financial leaders of the city, met this morning and decided to resort *> the mobl heroic measures >?t undertaken Dine J the citv has been in !':« i-aUi tf devastation.

The military was notified of this action and barrels of gunpowder, the only remaining explosive ln the city, were taken from the Presidio, Fort McDowell, Aicatraz and other nearby posts. Hundreds of police, regiments of soldiers and scores of volunteers were sent into the doomed district to warn the people to flee. These stoically responded to the demands of the law, and went bravely on their way, trndglng painfully over the pavements with the little they could get together. Elvery available wagon was taken by the military to carry the powder. General Funston Ib co-operating with mayor Schmltz, whose orders to all of- ed to carry out the plans of rescue they have been pressed into service. In only a few cases was it necessary to resort to the cocked revolver and the drawn sword, after which there was no hesitancy. Presidio reservation, the vast Richmond district of a thousand acres, Gold- .en Gate park, and the surrounding hills resemble one vast picnic ground. Tents and improvised coverings bave been erected everywhere. There Is only one danger and that Is that the food supply will run out Every grocery In San Francisco has been taken by the authorities and each family being sold only & certain quantity at a time. In many places the police and military prohibit overcharging, General Funston announced this morning that rations would soon roach the city and then the people will be supplied from the Presidio. Bakeries have been built within the reservation and the bread supply therefore has not failed completely. The government also has begun to aid in transporting the people out of the city to Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, Tug boats and steamers are being pressed into service for this purpose and there is a vast army on the way to the ferries. Tbere is scarcely any water available to relieve the sufferers. The heat Is bringing danger, for the dead in many Instances are lying in the streets and ruins. The authorities are doing all in their power to remove the bodies in order that a pestilence may be prevented. It has been necessary to remove the injured from places where they had sought refuge, for the flre kept increasing with alarming rapidity. Water ls the incessant cry of Lhe firemen and the people. One wants it to flght fire, and the others to drink. But there is only a scant drinking supply.

Duffy, 0f Owensboro, Ky„ who haa been in Santa Rosa since last October, was the only one ont of several score to escape from the -floor in which he was quartered in the St. Rose hotel at Santa Rosa He came to Oakland on his motor eycl« and tells a thrilling story of his rescue and the condition of affairs In general at Santa Rosa. Mr. Duffy says when the shock came he rushed for the stairway, but the building was swaying and shaking so that he could make no headway and turned back. He threw himself in front of the dresser In his room trusting to that object to protect him from the falling debris. The dresser held up the beams which tumbled over him and thus protected him somewhat from the falling masa of debris. "I was Imprisoned for five hours," said Mr. Duffy, "before finally being rescued. Three times I tried to call and the rescuers heard m,e but could not locate my position from the sound of my voice, and I could hear them going away after getting close to me, "Finally I got bold of a lath from the ruins around me, poked it through a hole left by the falling of a steam pipe and by waving it.and yelling at the same time, finally managed to show people where I was. "There were about 300 people killed in the destruction of the three hotels and not lesB than 500 in the whole town. The business section of the place collapsed almost inside of five minutes. Then the ftre started and burned 4th street from one end to the other, starting at each end and meeting In the middle, thus sweeping over the ruins and burning tlm imprisoned people. "I saw two arms protruding from one part of the debris and waving frantically. There was so much noise, however, that the screams could not be hard. Just then as I looked, the flames swept over them, and cruelly finished the work begun by the earthquake. The sight sickened uie and I turned away." RELIEF WORK. Berkeley Citizens Taking Care of Thousands of Refugees. Berkeley, April 18.—Extraordinary relief work for the benefit of the vast population which was rendered homeless by the San Francisco earthquake is being achieved by n local citizens' committee, headed hy Rev.

The work of providing meals and sleeping accommodations for the large numbers who are pouring Into Berkeley by every train from San Francisco, is being joined in -by university and townspeople alike. President Wheeler has thrown open the grounds o£ the university of California to the weary refugees from the burning city across the hay and the churches have undertaken the task of supplying great quantities of food. All the parish houses of tnn Episcopal churches of the city have been given over to the use of the needy und many charitable citizens are giving their extra home accommodations to those who come from across the bay. A special request has been sent to the women of Berkeley to bake all tbe bread they possible can, as there ts a distressing bread famine ou ths other side of the bay.

CALIFORNIA'S CALAMITY. W. G. THOMSON gg±fcand Stefer. Whilst tlie city of San Francisco ia the prlnlcpal HUfterer by the earthquake of Wednesday morning, the reports now eonilng to band show that the stricken area far exceeds the limits of that city and that a vast district, including -within its 'boundaries several towns of considerable size, has been devested. The total loss of life and destruction to property will be far In excess of any present estimates. Thousands of lives have undoubtedly heen lost, property to tbe value of hundreds of millions has teen destroyed, and as a consequence thousands hove' been rendered destitute mid homeless, most of whom, In nil probability, will be absolutely without emj- ■ ■1'jyinwii ur other menus of providing lor Uu-lr families for nonio time to poind. Tho United States In an exceedingly wealthy country and we may take It for granted that generous proffers of nld will be forthcoming to stricken Califor- J nla from ev.wy state in the union. Still, tu a caa* of this kind, the nied Is so great that aid to the sufferers should not be limited to the United States. Canada, in -particular, should stand ready to render every assistance in her power. Parliament being now In session at Ottawa it may be assumed that, immediate steps will be taken to make an appropriation from tbe public funds commensurate to the requirements of California's sad plight. British Columbia will, perhaps, more than any other of the provinces, feel called upon to render aid to the great Paclflc coast state in lb- hour of adversity. The provincial government will doubtless deal with the matter promptly, and the government may rest assured that whatever they may do in this regard will be heartily approved by the people, so long as It be done promptly and with fitting liberality. There has been some talk locally of raising subscriptions for tbe California sufferers and The Dally News haa been asked to receive and forward contributions. The Dally News will be very glad to undertake this work, although, If a Nelson fund Ib to be raised, we think it would be more appropriate for the mayor to call a public meeting at which a committee of representative citizens could be appointed to receive and transmit to the proper Authorities tho moneys raised. The pressing requirements pf the sufferers by the earthquake and Ares will, of course, consist of food stuffs, clothing,' etc., but In face of the terrible destruction of homes, factories, places of business, etc., lt is obvious that for some time to come thousands of people will be A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY But Have 1-nwtaK Mi Glouy Hair, No Matter What Color.

Commenting upon the proposed new mining laws for Ontario the Toronto Globe says: "No 'indefeasible title to mining land' Is the only safe policy for Ontario. There must he no permanent alienation ot the mineral deposits which the convulsions of the ages have stored up for the advantage of the generations. Und containing mineral deposits may bo leased on suitable conditions, hut should not be given In freehold to anybody. Forfeiture of title and absolute rover-don to the crown for the benefit of the people should follow promptly any cessation of mining operations. No man should be permitted to acquire mineral lands for purely speculative purposes, or to hold them up Indefinitely for an unearned Increment of value." The ; Globe goes on to say that vast stores of ■ nickel and iron ore have already been allowed to pass Into the ownership of those who pay nothing to the province for the privilege of mining, and are under no obligation to develop their deposits. It demands the amendment of the new mining bill along these lines or its entire withdrawal.. The Globe further remarks; "It serves no useful purpose to say that it Is modelled on the mining law of Hrltlsh Columbia. Tha intelligence of the Ontario parliament should be equal to the task of formulating a mining policy and framing a mining law without slavishly imitating any other country, but If we must have a precedent, then we should go to the Transvaal for one, and not to British Columbia. Sagacious Paul Kruger showed that he was a real statesman when he Insisted on 'use' as the only 'title' to a mineral deposit British Columbia has been recklessly profligate In the alienation of her mineral wealth. The people of Ontario will never consent to borrow a policy that has been a handicap on the Pacific province ever since Its adoption."

Is largely undeveloped; so to some extent is the electric railway; so, most of nil. perhaps. Is the telephone, though already one .system alone has near y 2.fi00.ouo telephones in use. Alt of these utilities use vast Amounts of copper not only ln tlie form of wire, but in the powerful and mysterious' machinery by Which they are operated. Undoubtedly the telephone system Is tho largest single consumer of copper in this ■Country todny, and thnt menus the largest user In the world. Of the heavy copper wire on pole lines, the lighter equipment of locnl service nnd tlio tiny filaments in the cables which constitute half the wire mileage of one system, there rtre upwards of 5,000,000 miles. One of the great reels of cable you see the construction gangs forcing through the manholes every day contains wire enough, If it were nil in one continuous piece, to set up a very respectable system by Itself. The largest, cable Incloses in Its leaden Sheath 1200 separate wires and comes In lengths or 600 reet, so that altogether It Is made up of 110 miles of copper threads; the average length of sections nf cables used for underground work in the big cities Is GOB teet, which means 120 miles of wire. In addition to the copper In the telegraph line** there are millions of miles of wire In the intricate apparatus of central offices and tbe connections on subscribers' premises. Ono of the 10,000 line switchboards used In the big telephone centers Includes 4000 mllea or wire—enough to reach. <fy frdm St. Louis to Liverpool if It were placed together In a single line. . The switchboards In the ten largest cities in the country have almost 65,000 flics ot wire In them, not counting the tiny copper threads-no coarser, insulation and all, than tlie tlnest thread of cotton which the American housewife uses for sewing— whleh arc wound around the magnets anil relays, of which there is a set for every subscriber's line that comes into tlie board. In a single relay is half a pound of copper wire, spun out to a length of !M0 of a rtillp, There la from half a mile to a ■mile- of .wire in each of tlie relays connected with the cords by which the operators at central join two circuits together and every operator who answers calls .has 17 of these cords while the trunk operators, who connect one central office with another, but do not answer subscribers' calls directly, have 25 cords. Altogether there are 200,000 files of wire in tlie relays of the switchboards of the ten largest telephone cities. < All tho copper used in equipping a central office is not In the form or wire, ■however. Either pure or alloyed the metal enters Into the, protective devices which guard the apparatus tigainst damage trom lightning and the Hke—the fuse mountings and arrrstor springs, as they are called.

Aside from the electrical Industries nearly every form of pro-ami day AOtlvl ;.* employs copper, and the compositions *>r which It is a part, to « considerable nxtent. Engineering could hardly get along In any of its branches without It. Every up to date engine has brass oil cups and hearings. They must be mude of bras**, gun metal, bronze or other compositions of copper If they ure to withstand the torlflo wear imposed upon the machinery. Urns*- nnd copper tubing is used In many boilers, especially ln those of locomotives, ror It will .endure enormous pressure nnd is nn excellent conductor ut bout; tho copper tubes are used almost exclusively In marine condensers, while many vessels have their hulls sheathed with copper. The landlubber architect, ns •well as his brother of tho sen utilises copper more than meet of us realise, The skyscraper has roofing and cornices mado trom the metal; churches and public buildings are adorned with brons* gates and doom, and broiwe. grill, work; and from copper and Its compositions are wrought all manner of other decorations—vases, urns, tablets, busts' und statues. The comfort of even the humblest American home owes almost as much to copper as the beauty of our most magnificent buildings. Knobs and locks of doors and furniture; rods for Portion's, cur aln nnd stair carpets; pipes and faucets, often plated *wltr nickel nut nevertheless copper; furniture, lamps, ehandliers, und a hundred smaller, but equally necessary things are made rrom copper, braijB and bronse. In manufacturing processes, for utensils ns .well as machinery, copper has taken the place of other metals in many ways. Sugar factories and refineries- depend upon it for their pans, pulp and paper mills tor their vats, distilleries for their worms and stills, breweries for their kettles. Patterns are stamped nn calicos mid print cloths with copper rolls; the typewriter fn your business office, the signs outside your office windows, all employ tbls same raw material. The works-and cases of the cheap American clocks that k-rep time for pretty nearly every nation of the earth, civilised und uncivilised, are mass; so are the gear wheels and pinions of watches und other Instruments of precision. Every government In the world uses great quantities of thla valuable, If not precious metal. It Is out of late now for casting cannon, but more brass Is used ifor other Implements of wnr than ever before. Cop* per and its alloys have toe.n employed from time immemorial, and now it Is satd that China ts threatened -with a debasement of Its currency because of the unrestricted coinage of copper, which was imported into the empire for this purpose in great quantities lost year, NEWS OF THE DOMINION YESTERDAY'S HAPPENINGS OVER CANADA. ALU RECENT OCCURRENCES OP VERY GENERAL INTEREST. PREDICTED DISASTER. German Professor's Observations Recent Earthquake in France ; Berlin, April 18.—Herr Laibach, of the Berlin observatory, is of the opinion that the mine catastrophe in France was connected with certain atmospheric conditions prevailing in Europe on March M. Furthermore, his observations lead him to believe that the crust of the earth ih the eastern hemisphere, Is in a dangerous condition, and he predicts other disasters to be imminent. The views of British scientists on this remarkable theory are naturally of supreme interest. ; Professor Milne, the eminent mining (engineer and seismologist, thinks that] the French disaster may have canned-1 tlon with the low barometer, hut not necessarily with the hypogenls or subterranean activities which oa January 31 were marked ln Colombia, and wetje followed during February by like disturbances .in the West Indies, where seven cables** were broken. These movements were recorded in thla country, but professor Milne sees no reason to think that the eastern hemisphere may respond. Sir Isamhard Owen, principal of the Armstrong college, Newcastle, states that he sees no ground for, apprehension so far as his observations In the north indicate. F. W. Dyson, the astronomer- royal for Scotland, telegraphs: .. "We have examined the seismograph record and And no unsual disturbances." FRUIT NOTES Harry Williams praises Beginners—J, A.

Unless the liberals and labor party combined their forcesi at the iwxt elections, said the premier, the opposing party, which hated .both, must gain. The liberals would consider each instalment of socialism strictly on Its merits.

April 19.—Sir William C Van Home, chairman of-tho Canadian Pacitic railway, who has Returned from a trip to Europe, declares that the Canadian Pacific will be the flrst transcontinental line in America to be double- tracked. Sir William stated lhat already work is ln progress double-tracking the line between Lake Superior and Winnipeg. "Theirs are more than 100 miles of double-tracking now iu progress. Concentration* of grain at Winnipeg and other freight from numerous branches extending Into the northwest has made it imperative to double-track that portion of the line immediately. When It ls done freight originating tn the great northwest can be transported more quickly to the lakes. "The work will not stop there by any means, and I predict that the Canadian Pacific will be ths flrst transcontinental line in America to be double-tracked." Sir William was not inclined to treat seriously the statement of Jas. J, Hill that. HIH proposed to build a new Hue lu Canada south of the Canadian Pacific's line. "Near the International boundary," he said, "our system has grldironed the country in the grain belt, and If Hill continues west he will strike arid lands which the Canadian Paclflc bends north, to avoid. There ls no pass through the Rockies not already taken .except those which have been abandoned by projected systems on account of their enormous cost." GROCERS' COMBINE COLT-Al'SBS Tlio "Cnnndlnn Grocers, Limited" Have Deckled to Dissolve 'Hamilton April IB—The ten wholesale grocery linns wlilcti uiimlgimmteu into tut* combination known as the Cunada Urocers, Limited, have decided to dissolve nnd re- sumo their respective businesses. The following firms composed the combination: Lucas, Steel & Bristol, Balfour & Co., James Turner & Co., W. H. Ulllard « Co.. and William Sommer villi- a Co. ot this city; DavldBon & Hay, Warren Bros,', mill John Sloan, Toronto; Edward Adams A Co., London; p. j. Smyth & Co., Windsor, The trust was capitalised at five million dollars in June; ifHXi. George E. JJrls- tol was chosen head ot the concern wltn a salary of $10,000 a year. Col. John I. ''* vhison of Toronto, was vice-president; Thla is the statement which Mr. Bristol handed out: "The different houses composing this company have decided to take buck their businesses. The shareholders will toe paid off In full with interest at 7 per cent to date of payment. Bach ot the .houses will conduct Its business as heretofore." Mr. Bristol also stated that there was likely to be some changes in the personnel of some of the houses. There will be ii riving!- in the firm of Lucas, Steel and Bristol. Mr. Bristol satd that neither Mr. Lucas nor R. Tasker Steal desired to remain in the firm, and tnat lie would take over the business. Though a change Is about to be made, the best ot feeling exists between tlie members of the llrm. ii is said that the Canada Urocera are not going out of business because or lhe prosecution of the Wholesale Grocers' Guild, but because there were «o many big salaries paid that Jealousies crept lu and un plea sun messes arose. When president Bristol as naked by ft reporter why the combination had been broken up. tie replied. "Do you read your bible regularly?" '•Certainly." "Well, lrwk at Amos 3:3."

Om FRlbAY, Ai-itifc ao. 1008 Wmmma^^mmW_m)m*imjmamWW^^ mtJ4m*M One of the greatest triumpliH of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ia the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Tumor. So-called "wandering pains" may come from ita early stages, or the prea-iu-e of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain extending from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation, ulceration or displacement, don't wait for time to confirm your fears and go through the horrors of a hospital operation; secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once and begin its use and write Mrs. Pinkham oi Lynn, Mass., for advice. Read these strong letters from grateful women who have been cured : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (First Letter.) "Jn looking over your book I see that your medicine cures Tumors. 1 lmve been to a doctor and he tells me 1 have u tumor. 1 will be more than grateful if you can help me, oa I do so dread an operation."*— Fannie I>. Fox, Bradford, Pa. Dear Mrs, Pinkham:— (Second Letter.) "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your w jnderful medicine. "Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so badly I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician, and was told thut I hnd a tumor and would havo to undergo an operation. " I soon after read one of your advertisement! and decided to give Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After taking five bottles as directed, the tumor ii entirely gone. 1 have again been examined by the physician and he says I have no> signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more; and I am entirely well. I shall never be without e bottle of Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound In the house."—Fannie D. Fox, Bradford, Fa. Another Case of Tumor Cured hy Lydia E. Plnkliam's Vegetable Compound. Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— "About three years ago I had Intense- pain in my stomach, with cramps and raging headaches. The doctor prescribed for me. but finding that I did not get any better lie examined me and, to my surprise, declared I had a tumor. "I felt sure that it meant my death warrant, and was very disheartened. I spent hundred of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept growing, till the doctor said that nothing but an operation would save me. Fortunately I corresponded with my aunt in the New England States, whoadviaeu me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable- Compound before submitting to an operation, and I at once started taking a regular treatment, finding to my great relief that my general health began to improve, and after three months I noticed that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept on taking the Compound, and in ten months it had entirely disappeared without an operation, and using no medicine but Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, and words fail to- express how grateful I am for the good it has done me. "—Miss Luella Adams, Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash. Such unquestionable testimony proves- the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and should give confidence and hope to every sick woman. Mrs. Pinkham invites all ailing women to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. SHADE TREES RECEIVED WILL BE DELIVERED BY CITY FREW OF COST TO APPLICANTS INSTRUCTIONS AS TO PLANTING AND TENDING TO THEM The shade trees lor Nelson arrived last night from the Riverside nurseries near Grand Forks. They are of good quality of Norway mnple, in good condition ana are available at once to the enterprising citizens, who have made application for them. The following letter received yesterday by city clerk Wasson from Martin Burrell, proprietor of the nurseries, cont-ntns some useful directions to the prospective planters: "We expect to start right away with tho maples, nnd hope to finish drawing up to the station and place ln tlie car tomorrow evening, so that they can go out Thursday morning. In which case they snouid arrive in Nelson the same evening. We are going* to have them thoroughly sprinkled with the hose when in the car, und shall tie thein in bunches of ten. If feasible it would he a good plan to nave them well watered In a similar way on arrival and If convenient have a trencn dug to keep, them all In. This, however, might not be practical, as some of the people may want them light away. They would be all right In u shed or anywhere out of tbe sun, even if not covered with earth, provided they could1 be kept moist in the roots. "Please emphasise to those planting them the necessity of thoroughly tramping the earth around the roots when planting, and soaking them If the ground la dry. Many of these trees will be a large sue, aud we should advise cutting most of the top off when planting, which will give them a chance to make a more vigorous growth than when all tbe head is lett on." It has already been decided and arranged by the council that the trees will be delivered at once by the city fre of cost to to applicant.. The only "condition at-f taehed by the council to the gift of the trees Is tliat they shall bo properly tended and cared for, so that they may fulttlt the pui-poso for whicli they are designed, thnt is uf becoming really shade trees and adding to the beauty and atructlvencss ot Ity homes and streets. directed thut the trees Bhall bo '" * " feet from the line of the street, and at least 12 1-S *VThe~credit for the initiation of the movement for thus improving the appearance of the city is due to Aid. J. E. Annable. At his instance ll was at Hrst resolved to offer to the citizens local mnple trees at a cost to the city of not more than (2G0. The applications for such trees were disappointingly few at tlrst, being for less than a third of the number available. Later an offer was received from Mr. Burrell to supply vigorous young Norway maples at a cost only a Jlttle greater than that provided for the local variety. Aid. Annable at once advocated the substitution with tho result Indicated. Consequently at n comparatively trilling ooBt the clly will be furnished With tw young trees all In good condition, whlcn will in ii few years make nn appreciable difference In the appearance of the residential streets.

Asked if he had any statement to make with regard to the Le Roi mine, Ur. McMillan said: "Statements recently appearing in the press with regard to the discoveries ot ore in the mine have been greatly exaggerated. A great deal has been said about the ore struck to the weat ot the Josie dyke. It is true, as reported by cable to London, that we struck about 20 feet ot ore west ot the Josie dyke on the 800-foot level.' 1 have noticed in some of the newspaper statements to the effect that there is about 150 feet of this ore. This Is not the case. The ore discovered Is now being opened up, 'but It will take some time to determine Its extent and value. The mine, upon the whole, is looking very well. I have always contended tbat the Le Rol la a good mine, but for some three years past I have been constantly brought Into contact with men who seemed to take a pleasure in trying to make others believe that it ls of comparatively little value. Taken aa a whole, I should think the outlook for the future ls more hopeful in Rossland today than lt has been tor a long time past" Asked aa to the likelihood of opening up the Northport smelter, Mr. McMillan declined to discuss that question. He left for the coast yesterday on business, but expects to remain in this country for some months to come.

The success of the annual ball held last evening under the auspices of the Women's Hospital Aid, exceeded the expectations ot even Its ino.it sanguine promoters. While ih** attendance wns somewhat larger than Usual, there was plenty of room for the dancers; the music and the floor were both ♦-xeellcnt; the convenient supper arrangements much appreciated, and the sitting out, card and smoking accommodation an combined left nothing to be desired for the comfort and enjoyment of the many gut.-9i.r-. present. The ladles In c-hurge ot the function worked mast enthusiastically and industriously to p'-rft-ct nil the arrangements, and to their kind and untiring efftu*th If- due the pleasurable success Hcnred last evening. The guests begun arriving In the prettily decorated bull raom .shortly after 9 o'clock and before midnight over 200 persons were engaged tripping the light fantastic. One special feature of tho decorations last night was tho skilful shading of the many electric lights, the white and particularly trying glare of which were charmingly toned down by shades of well selected tints, producing a soft mellow light tnat enhanced the ladles' charms most artistically. Tho lodge rooms over the ball room whleh were kindly thrown open for the occasion, provided excellent smoking and card rooms for non-dancing members of the sterner sex, while the sitting out rooms were judiciously arranged for those little tete-a-tete conferences that ado? so much to tho success of every well Arranged dan-.*.*, The usually dingy board of trade room was transformed into a prettily decorated and urtitstically lighted supper room, with a seating capacity of 66. Here the arrangement* wjt-ro -most compilete and after midnight the guests In turn adjourned to partake of the many delicacies kindly provided by the ladles.

DEATHANPDESTRUCTION SAN FRANCISCO'S PITIFUL PLIOHT AT DAYBREAK YESTERDAY REPORTS FROM SURROUNDING TOWNS EQUALLY GRAVE San Francisco, April 19.—Dawn broke upon a scene of death and destruction. During the night the flames had consumed many of the clty'B finest structures and skipped In a dozen places to the residential districts, made their way into the North Beach section and sprung anew to the south. They reached out along'the shipping section down the bay shore over hills and across toward 3rd and Townsend street. Warehouses add manufacturing buildings fell ln their path. This completed the destruction of the entire district known as "south of Market street." How they are reaching to the south across the channel can not be told as this part of the city ls shut oft. After darkness thousands of the homeless were making their way with their blankets and scant provisions to Golden Gate park and the Beach to And shelter. Those ln tho homes in the hills, Just north of th« Hayes Valley wrecked section, piled their belongings in the streets and express wagons and automobiles were taking ihe things away to the sparsely settled regions. Down town everything Is in ruinB. Not a business house stands. Theatres are In heaps of ruins, .factories and commission houses lie smouldering on their former sites. All of the newspaper plants have been rendered useless. It Is estimated that the loss in San Francisco will reach from 1160,000,000 to $200,000,000. These figures are in the rough and nothing can' be told until partial accounting is taken- On every side there is death and suffering. Hundreds were Injured, either burned, crushed, or struck by falling pieces from buildings. The number of dead is not known but it is estimated that at least 500 met their death in the horror. At D o'clock, under a Bpecial message, from president Roosevelt, the city was placed under martial law. Hundreds of troops patrolled the streets and drove the crowds back while hundreds more were set to work assisting the fire and police departments. . During the afternoon three thieves met their doath by rifle bullets. The curious were driven at the breasts of the horses that cavalrymen rode and all the crowds were forced from the level district to the other section beyond the north. The water Bupply was entirely cut offhand may he it was Just as well for the** fire department would have been absolutely useless at any stage. Assistant chief Dougherty supervised the work of his men and early ln the morning it was seen that the only possible chance to save the city lay In an effort to check tho flames by the' use of dynamite. During the day blasts could be heard In every section at Intervals ol' only a few minutes and buildings, not destroyed by flre, were blown to atoms, but through the gaps thus made the flames Jumped to the next buildings. Although the failures of the heroic efforts of the police, firemen, nnd soldiers were at times sickening Iho work was continued with a desperation that will live a» one of the features of the terrible disaster. Passengers on trains from other cities ln California hring details of destruction and death from nearly all of them. Oakland, April 19.—Thousands of refugees, rendered homeless by the terrible disaster which has overtaken San Francisco, have come to this city. New York, April 19.—The Western Union received a report early this morning that the flre had spread to tho Knob Hill section of the city. This is the section in which aro located many fine residences. SANTA ROSA ENTIRELY WRECKED. Flro Followed Earthquake and Completely Wiped Out That City. San Francisco,. April 19.—9 a.m., via Oakland.—Reports from the interior give most alarming reports. Santa Rosa, one of the prettiest cities of the state, Is a total wreck. There are 10,000 homeless men, women and children huddled together. The loss of life, ls not to be estimated. It will probably reach the thousands. As the last great seismic tremor spent Its force In the earth the whole business portion tumbled Into ruins. Main street ts plied many feet deep with the fallen buildings.'

W., April 19.—The premiers of New South Wales and Victoria have Jointly cabled to president Roosevelt their sympathy with tho United States in the disaster at San Francisco. EFFECT OF DISASTER ' Will Seattle Replace 'Frisco as the U. S. Chief Paclflc Port. Now that the extent of the San Francisco disaster Is better understood people are beginning to speculate as to some of the probable outcomes of ths widespread destruction which Is now known to have taken place at the metropolis- ot the United States on the Pacific coast From a commercial standpoint - the question naturally arises as to the extent San Francisco's pre-eminence as a shipping port la imperiled by the disaster. The exports by sea from San Francisco amounted In 1902 to over (47,000,000 while the Imports were valued at $38,- 000,000 for that year. Seattle has bean coming to the front as a Pacific coast seaport very rapidly of late and tn the opinion of some well informed people, one direct result ot the disaster will be to transfer a great deal ot San Francisco's ocean trade to tbe northern port. Portland, Tacoma and Vancouver will all probably obtain a share of the trade that ln the ordinary course of events must at all events be temporarily turned away from the stricken California city and lt will require all the undaunted energy of the San Francisco commercial and financial men to win back this diverted trade In addition to the heavy burden of rebuilding ths city once more since trade once turned into new channels has a well known tendency to continue on. It is pointed out, however, that centered in San Francisco Is accumulated millions of dollars and that the mighty Interests which these millions represent will not lightly let go the trade supremacy now held. There ls mora commercial sympathy and Interest between San Fran- claco and Portland than with the former elty .and Seattle and tor the time be ing much of the San Francisco ocean trade that cannot now be handled there will find its way to Portland. FORMULA %_ BOTTLES PATENT .MEDICINE MEASURE IN ONTARIO HOUSE SIMIUAR BILL BEFORE ALBANY LEGISLATURE. The Ideas embodied in the patent medicines" bill now before thfl Ontario legislature, are not a. new thing on the face of the earth. Various states In the republic have measures that cover much the nam" ground, while others are not so largely interested In making the manu- facurer place upon the bottle the formula and other minutiae, for the reason that in Borne of the smallest states the largest patent medicine concerns in the world have their manufactories. New York state Is now moving in the matter, and there is a bill before both branches of the legislature at Albany, entitled "An Act to amend the public health law by providing for the proper labelling of proprietary and other medicinal preparations containing alcohol or narcotic or other powerful potent drugs, and for tbe inspection, analysis and regulation of the manufacture and sale of the same." The state has been flooded with literature explaining the Importance of the measure, and it is believed that it will he favorably reported. The work done on its behalf has been- no less effective because, it has been quietly conducted. These, in brief, are the provisions of the bill: I It prohibits the manufacture and sale of msdiclnat preparations, including so- called "toods" which contain alcohol, or certain other narcotic or potent drugs, unless the presence and percentage of such Ingredients are revealed on ths label ln plain English. Where alcohol has been used as a solvent, preservative, or for any other purpose, it Is deemed au Ingredient in the medicine. The label shall constitute a warranty which may be availed uf by an injured party. Tho state department of health shall make an analysis of its own initiative or on complaint of any citizen. It provides a double penalty, making its violation a misdemeanor punishable by flue or imprisonment, or both. In a criminal proceeding, and providing for a forfeiture of $'■() to the state department of health ln all places outside ttie cities of New York and Buffalo, and to the city departments of health of tbose two cities, recoverable, with allowance for expenses, in a civil action. Analysis by state Or by local departments of health shall be presumptive evidence ln all proceedings. The law does not apply.to preparations intended solely for external use, or to the dispensing of compounds on prescription by legally authorized physicians, dentists, or veterinarians, nor to preparations listed in the pharmacomoeia of the United States or the National Formulary, unless sold under proprietary name or trade mark. The bill of Mr. Pratt,* member, for South Norfolk, Ontario, regulating the manufacture and sale of proprietary and patent medicines may be compared with the Albany mrasure, ln a general way by reference to the summary of the act us follows: On the outside wrapper of all preparations and also on the label affixed to the bottle, phial or box there shall be printed in plain English, in black Ink on white paper, In type not smaller than brevier, a complete schedule of the Ingredients contained in the medicine. Whenever the preparation contains more than six per cent of alcohol or more than one-twentieth of one per cent of morphine, heroin, cocaine, or of the salts, or the equivalent of the same, it shall be so stated on the label. The word "poison" shall also appear separately in red ink In letters not less than one-quarter of an Inch in height. Before November 1, 1906, two samples must be submitted for reference to the secretary of the provincial board of health, and with it manufacurers must submit tlie name of the person or persons who compounded the preparation; the laboratory or place where the compounding was carried on; all ingredients, and tho exact proportion of each; the summary shall be verified by an affidavit to he made by the person, or one of the persons, or a member of the firm, or in the case of a corporation, the president, secretary, or one of the directors, as the case may be. Annual statement and samples must be filed. From time to tie after November 1, 1906, the provincial board of health ay make a chemical analysis of all preparations, in such quantities as may be deemed proper. Whenever ingredients of a preparation are changed there Bhall be deposited and filed two accurate samples of such articles containing such changes. Such samples and summary shall be verified by affidavit. Our way is-your money back on any purchases thnt are the leatu bit unsatisfactory. Canada Drug & Book company.
