tons of the mountains. The baggy cloud
which had hung on the peaks and crags
gave way and down the canyon came boil
ing mass of yellow water which swept
huge boulders from their resting places as
If they had been chat. The walls of the
canyon restricted the mass, and It came
down in a solid wall fifty feet high. Down
upon the doomed villages came the awful
flood, and houses. mine machinery, high
grade ore, pack animals and human bodies
were hurled in one chaotic mass down by
the irresistible torrent The cliff houses
and caves were filed. and into the mines
poured the liquid death.
The trail which had been built down the
mountain at great expense was completely
Obllterated. At Las Cruces and Il Po-
rento great damage was done also The
water did not recede until late that evening
and nothing could be done toward rescuing
those who were in danger, or recovering the
bodies Of the dead, until next day On the
following morning relief parties started
out, and before night sixty-two bodies had
been found and identified. As all other in
hsbitants of the locality could be accounted
fer, it is thought that this is the total death
list. The financial loss is estimated AT
about $3.50. 900

tary, Rev. Frederick Bliss, 1913 and S25

issues of the day, and other topics.

disapproval of Johuson's policy.

The Gazette Also In.

In soaking of the declaration of
the APPEAL that it proposes to
drive the criminal class out
of politics in this State, the Reno
Gazette says:
The Gazette has been working
for two years or more to accom-
plish the same thing, but it has
had no help from any paper in the
State, and we are glad to receive
the APPEAL into the ranks of hon.
est and fearless journalism. The
milk and water press of the State,
controlled by the so-called powers,
have done more to degrade honest
manhood and push the Sttte into
the rut that she is in than all the
other influences combined, and it
can do more to make it respect
able than any other force, il it
will. The Gazette will do it's share,
and we take it from the editorial
in the APPEAL that paper
will also stand in.
Now we would like to ask the
rest of the papers of this State
what they propose to do during
the next few years, on this prop
osition. The State has been
slowly drifting to the dogs because
everything political is fixed up to
suit few men who have no inter
est whatever in the State except.
to drain it Of money to send
abroad.
