196 REPORT OF THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE COMMISSION. 
West of Bolinas. — Driving 2 miles west of Bolinas, and looking at buildings from the 
road, I saw very little evidence of injury. At a distance of about 0.5 mile from the fault 
a chimney was broken at the roof, but not lower down. 
North of Point Reyes Station. — 1 drove a few miles north and east from the station, 
over a high terrace separating the upland from the bay at the east. The injury to build- 
ings was found to be much less there than at the station, and not all chimneys were 
thrown down. <A large barn was seen to lean as tho some of its props had given out; 
two water-tanks were wrecked. A few cracks were seen in the ground, but they were much 
smaller and less numerous than at a similar distance on the opposite side of the fault. 
Sausalito to Point Reyes Station. — Observation was made only from the car-window. 
The towns from Sausalito to Fairfax showed no damage more serious than the loss of a 
portion of the chimneys. The same remark applies to buildings seen along Papermill 
Creek as far as Garcia. Beyond Garcia the creek has several reaches of alluvial bottom, 
and some of these were so badly shaken that the railway embankments and trestles had 
to be repaired. Railway traffic to Point Reyes was interrupted for about 10 days. 
Ross to Bolinas.— This road was driven over 8 days after the earthquake. In the 
village of Ross houses were not shifted. The principal injury is to brick chimneys, of 
which probably more than one-half fell. A group of stone buildings on a hill lost heavy 
stone chimneys, and there was injury to a tower. Some stone fences on alluvial ground 
were in part thrown down. These fences were of undrest stone, loosely piled. In San 
Anselmo most of the brick chimneys were broken, but other injuries in that town and in 
Fairfax appear to have been slight. Along the road from Fairfax to Bolinas Ridge, the 
only evidence of the earthquake consisted of small road-cracks, with occasional stones 
fallen from the road-cuts. These evidences of moderate disturbance continued down 
the western slope of Bolinas Ridge to the edge of Bolinas Lagoon. A house standing in 
the middle of the valley, probably 0.25 mile from the main fault, showed from a distance 
evidence of considerable disturbance. Its chimneys were broken, the house itself had 
probably been shifted on its foundations, and one of the outhouses was out of plumb, 
apparently having slidden downhill toward the northward. The house was not visited, 
but was merely seen from the road. 
The general fact brought out in this drive was that the region about Ross and Fairfax 
experienced a shock comparable with that at Berkeley, and there was no evidence of 
high intensity until the fault-trace was closely approached. Landslides were not seen 
east of the lagoon, and the road-cracks east of the lagoon were not important. 
Mill Valley to Bolinas: — At Mill Valley the visible injury was chiefly to chimneys. 
Extended enquiries were not made; but no reports were heard of destruction to furniture. 
The houses were not shifted. The buildings at West Point, on the Tamalpais Railway, 
did not suffer; and I was told that there was no injury from the earthquake at the hotel 
on the summit of the mountain. From crags on the south slope of Mount Tamalpais, 
stones were detached and rolled down the slope. The same thing occurred near Willow 
Camp. From West Point to Willow Camp there are no buildings, road-cracks were 
small, and no landslides were seen. A few stones fell to the road from the side of the road- 
cut. A ranch 0.5 mile east of Willow Camp showed no injury to buildings. At Willow 
Camp all brick chimneys fell, several houses moved a few inches toward the southeast, 
and dishes were thrown from shelves. A tall house 0.5 mile to the northeast was appar- 
ently not disturbed, and retained its brick chimney. Farther up the shore of the lagoon, 
and nearly opposite Dipsea, some farm buildings seemed to have been so disturbed as 
to be thrown out of plumb. They were not visited. At Dipsea 2 summer cottages were 
moved a few inches to the southwest, or were wracked in that direction. The hotel was 
swayed in the same direction, but the building withstood the shock. The barn, a rather 
large building, was thrown from its underpinning, falling toward the lagoon.
