A dispatch from Nanaimo, T. C.,
says: The steamer Princess Louisa,
from Skeena, brings news OF terrible
landslide on the banks Of the Skeena
River, resulting In the death OF one
woman and about forty Indians Those
residing near the Northern Pacific Can
merry at Skeena River heari great
rushing noise in the direction OF the high,
steep mountain at the back OF the can
merry. In moment an avalanche OF
rocks and earth and trees was upon the
doomed settlement, carrying everything
before 1T into the slough close by the can
merry. The occupants OF the houses had
time TO get outside the buildings, but
before they could escape from the ad-
vancing column Of debris, they were
caught and carried along at a fearful
velocity. In all nine houses and their
occupants were destroyed, including the
mess-house and residence Of the fore
man OF the cannery. In the mess-room
was the young Swedish wife of the fore
man. She was carried along in the mad
and deadly current, and dashed TO death
hundreds or feet be ow. Indians claim
that among those destroyed were about
forty Indians OF the Port Simpson, Stka,
Motlakahla, and Kitimiat tribes Two
days after the slide thirteen bodies of
the Indians were recovered. The body OF
the foremans wife has not yet been
found, but there is not the slightest hope
for any living thing within the range of
the terrible slide of powders, trees, and
earth. The slide just missed the can
merry building about two feet. Had the
slide struck the cannery or occurred
half an hour earlier, the death roll
would have reached into the hundreds.
1t had been raining in torrents for the
previous four days, and it is thought
that the accumulation of water in the
ravines on the mountain side broke
away, carrying death and destruction
with it. The Indians are greatly excited
over the disaster, and are mourning bit
terly for their dead.
