NUMEROUS CRACKS
LEFT III HE BE
Numerous cracks, some several
inches in width and of considera
ble length are evidence left along
Turnagain Arm by the earthquake
shock Tuesday night, according to
Frank Knight, passenger conductor
on last night’s train from Anchor- i
age.
Reports show that the earth dis
| turbance extended as far north as
Birchwood.
The cracks in the earth’s surface
! occurred along the escarpment of
1 the Chugach range skirting the
ftrm, indicating that the fracture
or fault which permits of recurrent
elevation and recession of the re
gion west of the Arm, has a gen
eral north and south trend. This
fault has been traced to near the
i head of the Susitna Valley, and
along the southern slope of the
main Alaska range, and doubtless
extends on westward and south
ward to the Aleutians, where the
i major volcanic disturbances occur,
i thence out along the Aleutians to
| Japan, completing a horseshoe
| shaped zone subject to periodical
I disturbances.
At a number of places along the
[ railroad, huge rocks were dislodg
| ed and precipitated into the valleys
i but the railroad track escaped, save
| where a fissure nearby caused a
I portion of the track to drop, break
j ing a rail.
Later reports from Anchorage
j show that the quake was the most
| severe for many years, showcases
j being toppled over, bottles and cans
j of goods thrown from shelves, and
j residents frightened into the
j streets.
j Seismologists explain the tremb
| ling, followed by the accompanying
I rumbling and jolt, as due to the
area affected by readjustment in
the earth’s surface, as due to later
al pressure, which causes a detach
ed zone to alternately slip upward
along a fault plane. This first slip
causes the trembling and the rum
bling is caused by subterranean
friction, followed by the settling of
the mass. The jolt is as if some
one had struck a floor from be
neath while another stood upon it.
It is only along the fringe of the
detached mass containing many
thousand square miles in area, and
where fissuring occurres that there
is any material danger from these
disturbances.
In the case of the great San
Francisco earthquake of April 18,
1906, it was discovered that an im
mense fault traverses the Bay from
the Golden Gate. It was into this
fissure, that an ocean liner disap
