A SUMMER SNOW-SLIDE.
DisIOdged BOulders Boom Down
BuckskIn Gulch and Bury a
Miner.
Leadviue Democrat.

A fatal accident occurred few days
ago in Buckskin Gulch, and the remains
of the victim passed through this city
yesterday on their way to his old home
for interment James G. Powers, who
is well known in this city, and who was
here for long time, went into Buck
skin Gulch some time ago, and has since
that time been diligently employed in
sinking for Fay mineral. On the
evening referred to Powers had con-
cluded his labors of the day, and was
about to descend to the cabin. The
mountain was covered with several
feet of snow and it was difficult to reach
the base without the aid of snow shoes.
Accordingly Powers took his seat on his
shovel and getting ready began to go
down with good progress. While he
was thus moving on his way large
boulder was dislodged and began to
roll after him in his snowy track.
Powers looked behind him and saw
the dreadful thing coming after him
At each bound it would stir up
other boulders, and soon it looked
as if the whole mountain had suddenly
been torn into rocks and sent after him.
Suddenly there was crash, and thun-
dering sound penetra ed forest and
echoed through canyon. Hearing the
rumble and the roar of the rocks as they
tore down the mountain side, the minel
who were near by came out of their
doors and witnessed the race between
man and avalanche. They saw Powers
overtaken, and then disappear between
the tons of rock and snow At once
they ran to the place, and with
their picks and shovels they pro-
ceeded to unearth the unfortunate miner.
This was about o'clock, and dark
ness soon came upon them. Afraid
to proceed in the dark for fear of
cutting the buried man in delving for
him, they secured candles, as it was a
gloomy night. There in the gloom the
lights flickered and the steady and rapid
strokes of the miners were heard for
miles away. They were reinforced by
others, who could not understand the
scene, and at o'clock some one shouted,
"My God, boys, here he IS, deadl" His
body was doubled up and the rocks be-
meath his head were stained with blood,
which showed most CHASTITY under the
dull glare of the candles. Dropping the
implements they went to work with
their hands, and in few moments the
rocks were away and the body lifted to
the surface. 1t was carried by strong
hands into the cabin and the Coroner
was notified on the following morning.
