TAKE NEWS TO SAX KRANC1SCO ' ' Roanoke and Mitchell PlctXJp Small Amount of Wreukage. . SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. The first new of the sinking of the steamer Columbia was brought here this morn ing by the steamer Roanoke and the steam schooner Daisy Mitchell. They say that the collision occurred between 12 and 1 o'clock Sunday morning oft Shelter Cove, 12 miles southwest of the Medoclno-Humboldt County line. In a smooth sea and foggy weather. Shortly after 'the collision the two vessels named and the steamer George W. Elder, all south-bound, 'came on the scene. The Elder took In tow the San Pedro, which had her stem smashed to splinters, one of her masts snapped off at the deck, had lost her deckload of lumber and had a heavy list. The, San Pedro was towed to Eureka, the Elder declining aid from the Daisy Mitchell, which came on to this port after picking up a lifeboat and a raft belonging to the Columbia.

Tozier who belongs to the lighthouse service in Portland, was a passenger on the Roanoke, which spoke the George W. Elder, while it had in tow the steam schooner San Pedro.: ' "Judging from the condition of the San Pedro," said - Captain Tozier, "it Is my Impression that the schooner must have struck the Columbia with terrific force, as her deckload of lum ber was missing and she had a big list. "Her whole bow was missing clear back to the forefoot, which would in dicate that she ran at least 10 feet into the side of the sunken steamer. The Elder was towing her with an anchor chain. Her whole mainmast was gone. She was being towed back to Eureka." Assistant President Frey. of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany, said this afternoon that the Elder probably would take the sur vivors of the Columbia through to Portland.
