 PLACER AINERs MISSING. Besides thsso here mentioned, some twelve CT fifteen miners who were placer mining between the upper and lower dams. with number sf small ranchers along the stream, are missing, and when all the casualties are ascertained the entire loss will probably be between 6fty and sixty lies. The bodies thas far discovered number abeu, dozen. many of which are found twenty snd thirty miles below the place where the flood svertsek them. All the remains are more or less mutilated, while in several cases only fragments have been recovered. As the forco of the floei was terrific, many bodies have doubtless been
 BURIED IN THE SAND,
 others torn te pieces and others carried far south. What tho impetus of the stream of water was when once turned loose can be hardly appreciated without going over the ground covered by 1t. Those who saw it say tha. it came down in an almost perpendicnlsr wall ninety CT hundrea feet high, and apparently crushed down. instead of sweeping away, everything before 1t. Immense powders weighing tens were thrown around as child might toss bail, enormous trees were broken into sec liens or torn into shreds, iron bars were broken and twisted out of shape, and an ordinary fat-iroa was pi ked up and carried five miles and then imbedded in the walls of tho canyon
 EIGHTY FEET AHoyR THE PRESENT
 LEVEL OF rHE STREAM. A large sized safe belonging te Robert Brow. containing in the neighborhoed of s7 .0e0, was swept away and no trace has, after the most diligent search, been fsund sf it. Whatever the water struck went down. None were weundea-all were drowned.
 The fiosd struck the lower dam at l :50 A. A., and hve minutes later the headquarters, five miles below, were swept away. Several persons were ct both points watching. bat notwithstana- ing this the loss at .he first point was over thirty men, and those who escaped did Sc with oaly what they had on their backs many only in their nis nt clothes. Early on the evening sf the 2lst
 cousIga WAS ssxr From the upper ts the lower dam to warn the residents at the latter point that the former structure wasis danger sf breaking; but, owing to the storm aud darkness, the messenger, William Akard. could not keep ahead of the feed, and lost his life in trying ts cross the Hsssaysmps within view of the sur vivers ei the camp he had tried to save.
