TWO DOZEN BURIED UNDER sNo,

Avalanche at Silver Plume Carries Death
to Twenty-Four Italians.
GEORGETOWN, Colo, Feb. 13.-The
most terrible and disastrous snowslide
ever know in Clear Creek county oc.
Cured at Silve4 Plume, four miles from
here, yesterday. The slide started two
miles away and came with terrific force,
carrying along huge boulders and i'm
mense trees. A short distance from the
starting point the avalanche parted, one
section coming down Cherokee gulch,
taking with it two cabins occupied by
Italians and the shaft house of the Gary
mine. The other slide came down Will.
han gulch between the Pelican and the
Seven Thirty mines. The latter did the
most damage. Settlements of miners,
mostly Italians, were situated in both
gulches. For week or more the in
habitants have moved from place to place
to escape the threatened disaster should
the mountains Of snow start down the
mountain side. Some fingered in their
homes and were carried away in the
slide. It is estimated that IS bodies are
still buried beneath the piles of snow in
the two gulches. Eleven have, been
taken out dead, two Of whom reidenti-
fed as the wife and babe of Dominica
Destephani.

At Tuna, a few miles below Bradford,
Pa, is a well that has been drilling for
seventeen years. 1t is owned by an &c
centric individual by the name Of Mike
Miller and has already cost a small for
tune
Miller is in reality a farmer, but a
large part of his time is occupied in
scraping together a few more dollars TO
punch his 'oil welp' deeper into the
bowels of the earth. During these many
years he has spent all his earnings in
drilling this deep well with the idea of
somewhere in the hidden depths discover
ing a lake Of the olea ginous fluid which
will make him suddenly and independents
ly wealth.
So much has been said OF Miller's wild
venture that of late years he has been
the subject Of more or less public ridi-
cule, and the subject of Mr. Millers well
is not at all a pleasant one to Mrs. NIL
Ter. In fact Mrs Miller has seen 80
many hard-earned dollars sink out of
sight, as it were, that mention of the well
is a sore subject
The farmers well is now down about
3400 feet, and drilling is still going on.
Most Of the work has been done by Mil
Ter himself. assisted by a hired man. Re
Gently he disposed of a part of his farm
for oil purposes and the money thus ac-
CURED explains the resumption of opera
tions. The well is now in a black sand
and has a showing of oil, which is of
d very peculiar color, almost a purple.
1t is understood that Miller has decided
to drill little further, and. after shoot
ing the well. put it to pumping. IL 1t
proves q paying producer 1t has been
suggested that the peculiar formation be
called the Miller sand.
What makes Miller more determined
than ever to go on with his boring un-
til he strikes oil is the fact that only
recently DIR. Z. A. Van Scoy has com
pleted a well that started off at the rate
of twenty-five barrels a day. This SO
encouraged the farmer that directly he
heard of the doctors find he rushed off
and obtained a mortgage on his farm
Since that time pumping operations have
been In progress day and night and lit
tie is the time that Miller has since de-
voted to slumber
