suits. Thus far work has been con-
fined 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 100 yards long, has not
yet been touched. If there are any
bodies underneath they cannot be res
cued in time 90 save life. Four men
were taken out alive after they had been
buried for 10 hours.
Eye-witnesses say that the great
mountain OF snow, ice, earth and rocks
rolled down the dizzy Taiya heights
with the speed and rumble OF mighty
train, burying beneath its weight scores
OF human beings. To those who were in
the path of the destroyer escape was
impossible. They were overwhelmed in
an instant by the great weight of this
mass OF matter. In places the snow was
stacked up from 30 10 so feet in height.
In nearly every case death appears to
have resulted from suffocation. The
bodies OF IA were brought to this city
on the returning vessels. There were
two distinct ayalanches, the main one
about midway between StoDchouse and
the Scales. The first, while resulting
in three deaths, was miniature affair
as compared with the second.

Saturday night when going from Grin

Seattle, Wash, April "a dispatch
from Skaguay, Alaska, dated April 3,
brings news OF an awful loss 10 human
life from a snowslide on the ChilSat
trail. The dead were crushed under an
avalanche of snow and ice, which came
down the mountain side upon the left
hand side of the trail midway between
the Scales and Stonehouse.
A binding snowstorm was raging all
day, upon the summit, and as a conse-
quence many of those in the vicinity
were making no attempt TO travel.
Sobarth, Sprague and Stevenson, OF
Seattle, were travelling together as
partners, and were found side by side in
bed. Thousands of people were en-
camped in the vicinity of the accident,
and were soon upon the scene, render
ing such assistance as possible.

increase the horror of the avalanche in
the Chilkat pass instead of lessening it.
Sixty-nine dead bodies have thus far
been recovered and the names OF $50
missing have been reported as unac-
counted for. II Is barely possible that
some of these had succeeded in cross
ing the pass before the avalanche oc-

between IS and 100 persons were killed.
