QUAKES IN 1920
There were fewer earthquakes in
the United States and throughout
the world last year than in 1919,
but those of a destructive charact
•er were more numerous and there
also was much more volcanic act
ivity.
Records compiled -by Prof. Fran
cis A. Tondorf, director of the seis
mological observatory and head ol
the department of geology of the
Georgetown university, at Washing
ton, D. C., show 93 earthquakes
were felt in the United States com
pared with 97 in 1919, while re
ports from all parts of the work
show 161 quakes were reported, as
compared with 468 in 1919.
Eleven of the earthquakes las
year resulted in destruction of lifi
or property while in the previous
year only seven caused such losses
The most destructive during 192(
were those at Mendoza, Argentin;
and the Tepelini district of Italy
both of which occurred in December
.and those reported from Mexic
'City and Vera Cruz, Mexico; Mina
Geraes, Brazil; the island of Yap
in the Pacific ocean; Cadiz, Spain
the Island of Formosa, the Island o
Malta, Japan; Fivizzano, Italy; G:
-arre, Italy; and Grenada, Spain.
California reported the larges
number of quakes 6f any localit
in the United States in 1920, wit
a total of 62, while in 1919 ths
state reported 80. The Georgetow
university seismographs recorded 8
quakes during the year. None c
the earthquakes reported in the
United States resulted in any loss
of life or extensive destruction of
property.
In addition to California’s 62 re
ports for 1920, five were fert in
Utah; three each in Washington,
Oregon, Missouri, Illinois ( and Col
iorado; two each in Maine, ^Ten
nessee and South Dakota, and one
each in Wyoming, New Hampshire.
Montana, Virginia and South Carol
ina.
In Italy and the immediate vicin
ity of that country there were 127
earthquakes reported during the
I first eleven months of 1920 as re
corded by the Royal Central office
| of Meteorology and Geodynamics.
| NOYES LEARNING TO FLY;
j TO RETURN BY AIR ROUTE
| _
i Fred G. Noyes, receiver of the
! defunct Barnette bank, in Fairbanks,
! is now busily engaged in mastering
j the art of aeroplaning, at an aero
j field on the Pacific coast and, as
| soon as he has acquired sufficient
experience, will bring a plane to
i Valdez and pioneer the aerial way
; across country to Fairbanks
| That is the report brought tc
! Nenana by August Conradt, well
| known mining man of the Fairbanks
district, who returned to the Inter
■ ior this week from a winter in the
1 States, most of which time was spenl
, in California. Mr. Conradt arrived
in town on the Thursday train and
' left for Fairbanks yesterday.
L*iKe outers who nave returned tc
; Alaska recently, Mr. Conradt says
! many oldtimers now in the States
i are planning to return, and he be
I •
lieves there will be quite a rusii
! during the early spring and summer
| San Francisco, in the opinion ol
! Mr. Conradt, is the only real live
| city on the Pacific coast. It is tht
| money center of the West and con
| ditions there appeared to Be mucl
j more healthy than elsewhere on the
j Pacific coast. Seattle presented i
sorry spectacle by comparison.
! Many Alaskans were seen both ir
Seattle and in San Francisco, bui
those in the California metropolis
had the appearance of being tht
more contented. Hunter Scales, wht
worked at the banking business ir
Fairbanks in the early day, now ha:
; an important position with the Ban!
of Italy, one of the biggest bank:
; in San Francisco. Harold Reeves
- also a former Fairbanksan, is witl
i the Federal Reserve -bank, Joe Mor
, row is with the American Nations
l and Frank Wood, who was with tb
t American forces overseas, has :
, i good position with another Sai
;! Frandsco bank.
> i Leroy Tozier and Frank Berr
1 | are still engaged in the oil promotioi
, I business in San Francisco and ar
j now at work on a proposition whic!
f promises big returns. Mr. Conrad
. accused Tozier of being a candidat
for the judgeship in the Fourt
t division, but was assured that h
if 'had no such aspiration. Tozier saic
tj however, that he intended to mak
t a trip to Alaska in the near futur
„ on business of another sort, bu
2 would not remain long.
f Henry Riley, former Interior mir
ing man who was for a time asso-1
ciated with McGinn and Manley in |
their oil ventures, broke away from
them some time ago and started on
an independent hunt for the oil
paystreak. He brought a gusher of
large size in and could have unload
ed at one time for big money. But
he refused to sell and now his oil
well is gushing salt water.
Tom and Mrs. McKinnon, who
| were married during the winter,
are living at the Palace hotel and
enjoying themselves after the fa
shion of regular Californians.
Jack Sale, former Fairbanks jew
: eler, who left the North a number
| of years ago, now has an interest
i in one of San Francisco’s large
j wholesale jewelry houses. He lives
! across the bay, where his son and
daughter are attending school, the
latter being in high school and the
son in the middle of a post-gradu
Shortly ■ before he left the Bay
City, Mr. Conradt ran across Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Gilcher, who had
: just arrived from Los Angeles on a
| sight-seeing tour. They were accom
| panied by Mr. and Mrs. Frank
i Noyes and several other members of
the Gilcher family, three autos be
ing required to bring the party and
their baggage to San Francisco.
They expected to spend a month
in that part of the state, after which
Mr. and Mrs. Gilcher were -to go
to Utah to locate on the Noyes
ranch.
Mr. Conradt was in San Fran
cisco when Spud Murphy and his
fellow gangsters nearly killed two
telephone girls in a Howard street
shack, and it is his opinion that
they were fairly tried and convicted.
Three of the gang escaped and were
afterwards lynched in Santa Rosa,
after they had killed several officers
who sought to arrest them. They
are the same whose tragic end is
j pictured on the postcard on the
| Portland’s bulletin board. The girls
I in the case arrived in San Franciscc
a few months before the attack was
made upon them, having gone there
from Nevada in search of work and
were employed as telephone operat
ives at the time they fell into the
hands of the gangsters, lured tc
their ruin from a dance by a smooth
' talking taxi driver.
! Anchorage looked good to Mr
! Conradt. Business appeared to be
j good there, and the climate struck
j him as being much more likeable
| than elsewhere on the Alaska coast
; being outside the rain belt. He alsc
j found things lively at Ketchikan
; which is a port of call for all boats
! on the Alaska run and sufficiently
close to Seattle to attract many
visitors who do not go beyond thal
point. Mr. Conradt saw a numbei
of former Interiorites in Ketchikan
including Ed Morrissey and Los;
Bernard, who appear to be making
money in the publishing business.
Deputy Marshal James Hagan re
turned to Nenana on yesterday’:
train from Fairbanks.
