DIED IN cHlLKooT PISS.
SIX Persons Were Buried I'm Snow
Slide.

Seattle, December 90 News has just
been received of slide on the Chilkoot
Pass in which six people were killed.
Five bodies have been recovered as fol-
lows: Mrs. Darling aud two sons of Lake
Linderman; Bert Jones, Juneau; Harry
Shaw of Skaguay. The slide occurred
Decem ber 9 at Crater lake, one mile be-
yond the summit on Lake Linderman
side. Mrs. D,rling's husband was at
Lake Linderman and she had arranged to
join him with her two sons, who had al
most reached manhood. Shaw was o
Skaguay man who had business at the
lake Bert Jones of Juneau, was but
nineteen years old and the reason for bis
taking the trip does not appear. He was
friend of the Darling boys.
The name OF the sixth person has not
been ascertained. Contrary to the advioe
of old timers, who realized that the trip
was dangerous in view of the recent
storms, the party set out with light out
fits. 1t was storming hard when they
crossed the summit but they reached
Crater Lake, where the blizzard forced
them to camp. although it was but seven
miles to their destination. While camped
there, tons OF ice and suow mixed with
rocks and timber swept over them evil
IDENTIFY without warning and went on
down the valley leaving them buried un
der several feet of hard snow. Their
bodies were found three days later by
searching parties. The bodies were not
bruised in the least.
he news of the snow slide is brought
by the Alki, the same steamer that
brought word of the slide last spring In
which nearly sixty people perished. The
two slides occurred just about the same
distance from the summit, but on oppo-
site sides.
just before the Aiki left Skaguay, 6.
Bald Mills of London, and F Smith of
Melbourne of Australia, arrived from
Lake Atlin with their feet and hanos
badly frozen. 1t is feared that Mills will
lose both feet.
