| Summary: | Mild Alaska Quakes Continue Second Day. Mild Alaska Quakes Continue Second Day FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 23.— (AP)—Minor tremors continued to shake interior Alaska today after a sharp earth shock yesterday broke liquor bottles and other merchandise, cracked p'aster and windows and caused six-inch to one-foot cracks in the earth. An airplane party, returning from a survey of the region, reported many trees razed between Harding Lake and the Tanana River, and numerous cracks alongside the Richardson Highway near Mile 30. Dr. Ervin H. Bramhall said the University of Alaska seismograph has registered more than eighty quakes since the sharp one early yesterday which put the instrument partly out of commission for a time. A plane party which flew above the Black Rapids glacier, about 125 miles southeast of here, said the quakes had no apparent effect on the forward movement of that ice river, but that falling rock had buried 2,000 feet of the highway at Mile 34 and it could not be cleared away for several days.
