where no human aid can reach him,
and his remains must rest until the
summer rain melts the tons Of snow
and ice under which he lies. Upon the
crowded trail no record was kept of the
living mass Of humanity Drawing hard
ships and facing death itself in the mad
rush for gold. In the procession that
daily passed were people from all parts
of the world, unknown to one another
The work of rescue has continued
night and day ever since last Saturday,
being gradually more systematized and
consequently meeting with better re-
suits. Thus far work has been confined
to the outskirts of the slide, In the hope
Of rescuing those who are injured, but
not yet dead. The main body of the
avalanche, Which is estimated to be so
feet deep and $50 yards long, has not
vet been touched. If there are any
bodies underneath they can not be res
cued In time to save life. -Four men
We're taken out alive after they had
been buried 19 hours. In many in
stances the bodies of the dead are NOT
bruised in the slightest, and appear as
natural as life, indicating that they
were suffocated in the snow. Many
unclaimed bodies were buried near the
scene of the disaster

Railway and Tram company. who went
m to the summit on the morning of the
slide to work. are MISSING and it is
feared they are among the lost.
1T is estimated that 10000 tons of out
