ISOSEISMALS: DISTRIBUTION OF APPARENT INTENSITY. 261 
fallen in the second story, and sewer and underground pipes were broken. Much dam- 
age was also done to the houses on the hill southwest of where this road crosses San 
Antonio Creek. In one of these 3-story houses, the plaster was partly off the first 
floor walls, and windows were broken. The second house was so shaken that it shifted 
several inches upon its foundations. A 1-story cottage close by was little damaged; 
and in the pumping shed, bottles, cans, ete., standing on a narrow shelf did not even 
fall down. The chimneys were thrown down on the ranch house at Hidden Villa, two 
miles northwest of Black Mountain Triangulation Station, but there was no great damage 
otherwise. Big blocks of rock are said to have been shaken loose from the mountain 
and to have rolled down the slopes. One of these rolled into the chicken-house, and 
others broke the water-pipes at several places farther up the gorge. 
On the road running southwest from Mountain View Station toward San Antonio 
Creek and 1.75 miles southwest of the station, a water-tank 8 feet high was thrown down. 
In the village of Mountain View, 0.5 mile southwest of the railway station, one chimney 
on a small house, and projecting 5 feet above the roof, was left standing; while another 
chimney on the same house was thrown down. On the road leading north from Moun- 
tain View, and 0.25 mile from the station, one chimney fell; but another, 1 x 2 x3 feet 
was standing. The latter was braced with iron bolts, however. The plaster in the house 
was cracked, though not very badly, and the foundations were unhurt. 
At the Ynigo ranch, 3 miles northeast of Mountain View Station, the house is large 
and old. Here the chimneys fell, one going down through the roof. The plaster was 
only slightly cracked. Frail sheds and water-tanks 20 feet high on light supports were 
not thrown down, and plumbing in the house was apparently undisturbed. There was 
an artesian well at this place which had, before the shock, flowed only slightly or not at 
all, and a wind-mill was used to raise the water. After the shock, it was found that the 
casing had been shoved up 2 feet, damaging the pump. The flow of water was increased 
and black sand was brought up. Another well at this ranch was unaffected. 
At Jagel Landing there was but little damage. One chimney was unhurt, and another 
was slightly twisted. 
The concrete bridges over Permanente and San Francisquito Creeks showed no new 
cracks. In the low lands northeast of Mountain View, all the chimneys except one at 
the Mascot Gun Club preserve had been thrown down, and water-tanks had fallen except 
where they had been especially well braced. The same was true in the vicinity of Sunny- 
vale. Between Sunnyvale and Lawrence a brick winery was destroyed, and a tank and 
wind-mill were thrown to the ground. On the second east-and-west road directly south 
of Sunnyvale, for a short distance toward Stevens Creek, a few chimneys were left stand- 
ing; but the damage was generally uniform as reported above. 
(F. Lane.)—A 3-story brick wine distillery in the northeast corner of the San Antonio 
grant, 3.5 miles south of Mountain View Station, was totally destroyed by the shock. 
This building was on the side of a hill. A 3-story frame house near it lost its chimney 
and was tipt to one side. A half-mile southof the winery, a water-tank beside the road had 
been destroyed. At the southeast corner of the same grant, a 2-story frame house (Sel- 
linger’s) was thrown from its 4-foot brick foundation and badly damaged. The road in 
front of the house was cracked, but probably on account of the steep slope below the road. 
South of the house, across Stevens Creek, there was a landslide 100 feet in width on the 
steep face of a bluff. 
(S. Taber.) —'The concrete bridge over Stevens Creek on the county road below Moun- 
tain View was not cracked, but at the brick yard, at the junction of the San Jose road 
with the road to Jagel Landing, a high chimney and a pile of brick had fallen over. 
Saratoga to Congress Springs (F. Lane). — At Saratoga some chimneys were knocked 
off, but among those standing was a high chimney built on the side of a 1-story house. 
A wind-mill with a large tank had not been injured and no other damage was apparent.
