Starvation Threatened,

Aspen Colo. Feb. 4.-The situation at
the mining camp of independence. IS
miles from here. is critical in the ex-
treme. Starvation stares the inhabitants
Of the town in the face. Provision ana
fue! supplies are nearly exhausted. Wood
that had been cut and piled up for winter
use lies buried under many feet of snow
and cannot be reached. The mines there,
i'll all probability, must close down now
until spring. Roads leading to this place,
the only source of supply for Independ-
ence, are impossible, and the only method
Of journeying between the two places is
on snowshoes. an exceedingly dangerous
method of travel. The storm still RACES
tiercely at Independence, making the out
look more gloomy. Snow slides are so
frequent between Aspen and Independ-
ence that il is almost suicidal to venture
on the route there.
