UNDER 100 FEET OF SNOW.
An Astonishing Story About a Great
Slide in Idaho.
1,Onl the Mem York 81

From the NeIC York Sun.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 11.-John NJ. Dun
combe who has Just come down to the city
from Alturas. Idaho, tells the story of a
queer happening there a week or two ago.
Five men were working at a shaft
located about half way up the side of Sill
velton Hill. a spur of the Alturas range.
The snow lies several feet deep all over the
mountain, and, as the day was clear, by the
middle of the afternoon the sun had thawed
the SHOW just enough to make it soft and
inclined to slide A Swede walking on a
trail above the shaft missed his footing. and
in scrambling to regain it pushed ltt e
body of snow out of its balance. This was
at the head Of dry gulcu, and the weight
and sipperiness of the snow were enough to
start a slide. In a seconds time it had
grown to a tremendous size, and, growing
bigger every second, it rushed down the
mountain with terrible roar The trees
in its path were moved down like grass be-
fore a scythe. The Swede who started the
slide fell over in it, his body was buried in
the snow and had not yet been found when
| came away.
Two men were working the windlass at
the mouth of the shaft and two others were
inside The two at the surface heard the
slide coming and hurried to get out of its
of rushing snow and tumbling trees. But
by some unexplainable accident thew were
tossed to one side and succeeded in getting
out of the avalanche. They were knocked
senseless, but received no serious injuries.
But the queerest part of the whole story
is about the two men who were inside the
shaft. The slide came right down over the
mouth of the shaft and packed its 100 feet
chock full of snow. The two men, Martin
SmIthson and Tom Callan, were in there
buried under all that mass of snow, for two
days and nights, and when they were dug
out they came to, and are now lust as
sound and well as anybody! The
snow was packed into some parts of the
shaft SO tight that it was almost as hard as
ice, and it took exceedingly hard work to
get it out. But the snow, no matter
how tightly it is packed does not
exclude the air, and that is the way they
happened to live through They We're
caught in upright positions, too, or they
could hardly have survived. There they
stood for forty-eght hours, with the snow
pack around them so c.ose that they could
not move a muscle. Though so near each
other that they almost touched, they could
not even speak a word. They could lust
simply stand there and think. They saw
they were conscious for some after the
snow came down, and that they suffered
fortunes. They declare they never longed
for anything SO much in all their lives as
they did for death"
