Several strong shocks 



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 arid destructive 

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

 vada. The village of Lone Pine, containing 

 about 500 inhabitants, was greatly damaged, 

 over 53 adobe buildings being ruined, and in 

 their fall killing 27 persons and seriously 

 wounding 34 others These fallen houses 

 seemed to have been pushed X.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 Sietra Xevada 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 

 tothe S.of \V." Healsosays: '•Midwayinthe 

 valley, commencing about 30 miles X. 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
