ANOTHER SNOW SLIDE.
Six Persons Buried Alive.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 21.-Another snow slide &C.
Cured in Big Cottonwood canyon yesterday af
ternoon, near Richmond Mine. A party of
men engaged in shaking down ore in raw hides
were caught by the slide. Six men named
Thomas FL. Broderick, William Ritter, Charles
Dobble, James Breeze, Henry Atkins and Reu-
ben Moore. were carried away and their bodies
have not been recovered. George McConlin
and Thomas White were swept away by the
snow, but dug themselves out and their lives
were saved The slide extended about one
mile and the path was about two hundred
yards wide. Yesterday the bodies of six per-
sons killed by the snow slides at Alton City.
were recovered 1t is supposed many others
persisted in the same way, but their bodies are
covered in the snow to such depth that they
cannot be recovered for some time.
In one demolished house was found the body
of Mrs Carey, sitting in a rocking chair with
ner infant clasped in her arms, and near by the
bodies of her husband and little girl. They
had all persisted from suffocation by snow. At
another house man was dug out alive, while
man who had been sleeping beside him was
found dead. The dead body of another person
was found in the vicinity of the house. There
is much terror in the mining camps, and most
of those who can get away will probable leave.
But 1t is difficult and dangerous undertaking
to get away as the people will have to walk
and run the gauntlet of snow slides on their
way out of the canyons.

HeaithfuI Slim lIIation,

Difusible stimulants, provided they be absolutely
pure. are among the most useful medicinal agents
employed by physicians. When the tone of the sys-
tenn is lowered by the depressing influences OF disease
ton they serve to counterfeit weakening tendencies
and cheer the c1ind of the Responding invalid. But
when, as in the case of Hostetter's Bitters, they
possess tonic and alternative properties, their effects
are rendered permanent, and they accomplish
trebly beneficial result. The Bitters not only relieve
nervous debility and mental depression by their
beautifully stimulative action, but ipfuse abiding
vigor into the depleted system, and rectify those
internal disturbances which are the real causes of
weakness. The purity and the whoesomeness of
the alcoholic basis of the Btters greatly increases
the efficacy of their botanic ingredients fact which
the completeness of their curative effects sufficiently
demonstrates.
