slide which occurred on Wednesday of
last week in the gulch putting into
White Bird at Joe Jewels. Two men
with hoses from the prairie stopped
there that night. and they slept in the
girls room up stairs, while the young
ladies made shakedown bed on the
floor down stairs. The snowslide went
through the side of the house, throwing
the boards down on them as they slept,
and all we're either crushed or smother
ed. An infant child which lay be-
tween the two eldest girls was recovered
alive. The old folks also slept down
stairs, but escaped without injury. as
did the guests. The name Of the family
was Thompson. formerly located at
Cottonwood. The youog ladies' ages
ranged between s and 10. II is with
out doubt the most melancholy tragedy
that has occurred in the county since the
Nez Perce war, and the bereaved family

The United States has now the deep
est metal mine in the world. For some
time that claim has been made for the
Maria shaft at the mines Prizibram in
Austria. which was 3.675 feet below the
surface at the time Of the great fire in
1902; and nothsng we believe, has been
done upon il since that time. II has
now beeh surpassed in depth by the No
shaft Of the Tamarhck copper Min
ing Company in Michigan which on
December the first was 3,64o feet; tn,
average rate of sinking being about 75ft
a month. This makes it beyond ques
zion the deepest metal mine in existence
and only one other shaft has reached
a greater depth, thai of a coal mine in
