The loggers in the vicinity of Eau Claire

snow over a most substantial foundation.
The season for work in the woods is rapid
ly drawing to close, and there were ia
vorable prospects that the log crop on the
Chippewa, Eau Claire, Black and st. Croix
would be much larger than calculated at
the commencement of the season. Moder-
ate weather had not affected the work in
the least, and it was prospective that the
season would be prolonged later than usual
by reason of the heavy accumulations of
snow. Latest estimates placed the Chip.

PERISHED IN A SNOW-STORM.

Twelve Persons Buried Under Forty Feet
of Snow in the Mountains Of Utah
Fears Entertained Regarding the Safety
of Nine Men Who Were Locating Trail
in Wyoming.
DEADLY WORK OF A sNoW-SLIDE.
SALT LAKE CRY, Utah, March 10
Twelve persons were buried under snow
slide Friday night, near Alta. About six
o'clock mass of snow fully half mile
wide began moving from the summit. of the
range. 1t soon attained fearful velocity.
In some way the persons in its track did
not observe its approach until it was too late
to escape. With resistless force the great
mass swept down upon the New Emma
mine property and the little settlement
where the huts of the miners were. The men
had come up about an hour before. Fortu-
nately, most of them had gone to neighbor-
ing settlement In an instant the snow
slide struck the works of the mine
and the hamlet. All was swept away, and
twelve persons who had frantically sought
to escape were dashed down to death. These
were: Gus Lydecker, d. d. WATSON, -
WATSON, Samuel Prethers, Charles Col
green, Mrs. G. Colgreen, Edward Crockett,
Miss Lottie Pleon, S. j. johnson, N. S.
Delano, w. Stephenson, John Richardson.
The bodies of the unfortunate victims, to-
gether with the debris of the huts and the
works of the New Emma Mine, were hurled
into the valley below, There the snow was
piled up forty feet deep.
AS soon as the full extent of the disaster
became known men from all the surround
ing camps and villages fastened to the
place where the snow had lodged. Work
was begun by torchlight to rescue those
who had been swept away. All night long
the men worked, and it was not until late
Saturday afternoon that the bodies
were reached. All were recov-
cred but one. They were laid out in a
row. In the meantime heavy storm had
set in, and all that could be done was to
leave the bodies under shed, where they
would be safe until it would be possible to
bring them down the mountain and give
them burial George Collins, the Mine
Superintendent, came down Sunday,
and brought the first news of the
disaster. He estimates the loss on the
mine at $751; 900, and declares that the slide
was the most terrible ever known in the
Little Cottonwood. Several of those killed
leave families absolutely uproyided for.
The Wasson brothers came from near Port
Henry, N. Y, but their friends are un-

NINE MEN LOST.

Fears exist regarding the safety of nine men
who went to Rathdrum thirteen days ago
to locate trail. They left point twenty
five miles from Rathdrum, with four days
rations and left other provisions in charge
of man with instructions to wait six days.
They never returned, and the man left.
There is no place where they can stop be-
tween the points known, as the snow is very
deep. The names are Charles Pond, l..
Merriam, Charles Boatman, McNutt White

Stafford, William Hays and Peter Esch.
