This earthquake extended over nearly 7 degrees 

 of latitude, including the whole of "California, 

 and eastward as far as Virginia City, Nevada 

 The shock was most violent and destructive 

 in the county of Inyo, east of the Sierra Ne- 

 vada. The village of Lone Pine, containin 

 about 500 inhabitants, was greatly damaged, 

 over 50 adobe buildings being ruined, and in 

 their fall killing 27 persons and seriously 

 wounding 34 others These fallen houses 

 seemed to have been pushed N.E. Prof. J 

 D. Whitney says: "The almost universal tes 

 timony of the residents of that portion of the 

 valley was to the effect that the shocks came 

 from that portion of the Sierra Nevada be 

 tween Owens Lake and Independence. To 

 the south of the lake the vibrations were felt 

 as approaching from the N.W. At Lone Pine 

 they were referred to the W., and as we moved 

 up the valley the direction was assigned more 

 to the S. of W." He also says : ''Midway in the 

 valley, commencing about 3omiles N. of Lone 

 Pine and extending for 10 miles, is a region 

 of volcanic cones and lava-flows of recent 

 geological date, but now all quiet." — Shocks
