FAIRBANKS. Alaska, July 7. The
moat violent earthquake ever known
here shook the whole town at 18 o'clock
last night, the earth rocking continu
ously for 40 seconds.
Less violent shocks occurred through
out the night.
Louis Anderson, foreman of a mine on
Dome Creek, was killed. He was suf
focated beneath a huge slab of earth
which the quake loosened from the
roof of the mine.
SEATTLE, July 7. Violent disturb
ances lasting from 12:01 to 3:0S A. M.
today were recorded on the seismo
graph at the University of Washington.
The heaviest shock was from 12:08 to
1J:15, with the most Intense vibration
of this shock between 12:06 and 12:15,
at which time the needle ran off the
paper.
VOLCANO DAMAGE IS SLIGHT
Scientists Go North to 3Iake Study
of Earth Disturbance-
SEATTLE. July 7. Fine volcano dust
la still falling over the region within
several hundred miles of Mount Kat
mai. Alaska, which awoke from slum
ber one month ago today.
As only a few hundred people live
permanently in the sphere of Influence
of Katalla and her sister volcanoes.
Redoubt, Illamna and St. Augustine, the
financial damage caused by the shower
of ashes from their four chimneys was
not large, and the loss of life, if any.
was among the Indians of the fishing
' villages along the Alaska peninsula.
Following the first day of the erup
tion, when the volcanoes, after a strug
gle, blew out the rocks that clogged
their throats, the discharge has been
only of ashes, with no lava. The so
called ashes may be duplicated by re
ducing to powder the pumice stone to
be obtained at any drugstore. Fine
particles of volcanic dust have been
known to float in the air for many
weeks and to be carried half way
around the world. This ash Is com
posed principally of silica, but contains
also all the chemical elements required
for plant growth, and consequently acts
as a fertilizer of the soil.
At ttie Government experiment sta
tion at Kodlak Island, the cattle were
saved, but many sheep perished." In
the ocean no injury was done to fish.
The spawning run of the salmon had
not brgun at the time of the eruption.
The canneries are operating as usual
r. .ttln,,n trnl Yl O- m the T"i VflTI
Just as In former years. Government
rations are sustaining the inhabitants
of Kodiak Island.
The revenue cutters, which this year
are not obliged to protect the seal rook
eries, went north with instructions to
make note of all changes in the ocean
flow, a modification of Alaska climate
having been noted during the past year
and this phenomenon being ascribed to
a shifting of warm ocean currents be
cause of lifting of portions of the sea
bottom. Geologists say that the Aleu
tian Islands, which stretch from the
mainland of Alaska In a long curve to
Kamchatka, are the tops of submerged
mountains: that these mountains are
slowly rising, and that in time Bering
Sea will be Inclosed, and later will be
come a broad valley. The shallow por
tions of Bering Sea are favorite resorts
of cod and other fish, apd the Govern
ment survey vessels are constantly on
the outlook for new "banks." These
cod banks give employment to a large
fleet of vessels that spend the Sum
mer in Bering Sea and are driven out
in Winter by the Ice. The formation
of new fishing banks would be of In
calculable value.
SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS QTJAKE
Instrument in Kansas Shows Vibra
tions of Unparalleled Force.
LAWRENCE, Kan, July 7. Heavy
earth shocks. 70 minutes in duration,
were recorded on the seismograph at
the University of Kansas, beginning
at 1:16 o'clock this morning. The cen
ter of the disturbance was estimated
at 2800 miles' distance.
The vibration marks of the heaviest
part of the shocks were three and
three-fourths Inches across the instru
ment, the ' most violent known since
Its installation, five years ago. The
waves were heavier In the east and
west than in the north and south.
Professor H. P. Cady, in charge of
the observatory, said there were two
probable centers one to the northwest
In Alaska, near the recent volcanic dis
turbances, and the other on the north
west coast of South America, in Co
lombia or Ecuador. Since the seismo
graph does not record the exact direc
tion of the shocks, it Is Impossible
further to Identify their location.
