SANTA CRUZ, April 23. — In the Hinckley Creek Gulch, near Olive Springs, the mountains on both sides gave way under the shock of the earthquake, came together and fell into the ravine. Under the mountain of loosened earth nine millmen, who were sleeping in their cabins, were buried and their bodies will probably never be recovered. They were employees of the Loma Prieta Lumber Mill Company. The dead: J.J. Walker, Fred Peasle, J.O. Dunham, A. Buckley, H.W. Estrada, Frank Jones, Alexander Morrison, August Vollant and a Chinese. James Dollar and Frank Franklin of Boulder Creek were buried alive in a landslide at Hartman’s mill on Deer Creek. San Francisco Examiner April 24, 1906 |
