ber Of citizens left for the scene of the
disaster to aid in the rescue of the victims.
Shortly after noon, while the work of
digging out the bodies was going on. the
second slide came down, almost in the
track of the first. The mountain side is
very steep and the descent of the snow
mass was so swift that twenty-four of the
rescuers were caught, two being killed.
They were Harry A. Chase and l.. d. Stan
ley. and other bodies have not been re-
covered. The others were more or less in
jured, but none is fatally hurt.
At $3.50 o'clock Superintendent Chase, of
the Liberty Bell mine ordered the work of
rescue suspended, declaring that 1t was
useless to endanger life further while
slides were running. Several parties
started at once for Telluride. Two of these
parties were overtaken by slides. In one
Gus Won Fontel, John r. Powell and Paul
Dalphres were killed and in the other

their lives. None of these bodies he'd been
recovered at last accounts.
a large number of men are missing. and
it is thought probable that the death list
will be swelled to twenty and possibly thir-
ty when the bodies are taken from the
snow mass.
Among those killed Raymond Bishop
Wade Grove and Harry A. Chase were last
years graduates from the State School of
Mines at Golden. Col. They had taken
positions with the Liberty Bell to acquaint
themselves with practical mining. They
belonged to good families in Denver and
Pueblo.

Up the Mountain 10000 Feet.

TELLURIDE, Col, Feb. 2s.-The Liberty
Bell mine is one of the three largest mines
in the district the Smuggler- Union and the
Tomboy being the other two. 1t is owned
by Kansas City people, the name of the
company being the Liberty Bell Gold Min
ing and Milling Company. Mr. Winslow, of
San Miguel county. is the manager. The
Liberty Bell is located about a mile and
three-quarters north of Telluride and has
altitude of about /, 200 feet at the mouth
of the tunnel. More than two hundred men
are employed in the mine and both day and
night shifts are worked. The buildings of the
mine occupy bench near the mouth on the
mountain side and were erected in a loca-
tion that was supposed to be protected
from snow slides by a ridge which it was
thought would divert the course of any
avalanche that might be started The vast
accumulation of snow within the past two
weeks however, gave the slide to-day such
a volume that nothing could stay its prog
ress until it reached the bottom of the
canyon.

TELLURIDE. Col, Feb. 2S-Fourteen
dead. as many more injured and score
or over missing is the result. so far as
known. of a series of snowslides which
occurred to-day in the immediate vicinity
of the Liberty Bell mine on Smuggler
mountain, three and one-half miles north
of Telluride. The roads between here and
the Liberty Bell are almost impossible,
and details of the accidents are hard to
obtain.
1t seems that no less than four distinct
slides occurred, each one claiming two or
more victims Several bodies have been
recovered, but quite a number of the known
dead are still buried under the tons of
snow, rocks and timbers by which they
were carried down The death list of the
first slide, so far as known, follows:

were:
GUS Won FINTEL, carpenter.
JOHN r POWELL, surveyor.
PAUL DALPHRESE, miner.
In the fourth slide the following were
killed:
GEORGE ROWHER.
w. S. GREGORY.
The first slide occurred at 7:9O o'clock
this morning and carried away the board
ing house, bunkhouse and farmhouse of
the mine. About 25O men are regularly en-
pIoyed i'm the mines and mills of the Lib

from the night shifts were in Telluride
Yesterday and were prevented from return
ing TO the mine by the terrible storm which
was raging. The day shift had just gone to
work, leaving comparatively few under
ground workmen at the bunkhouse. The
slide came without warning. The three
buildings were carried down the steep
mountain side distance Of about 1900 feet
and literally ground to splinters. not u
board being left intact. The snow and
debris piled in the bottom of the canyon
twenty-five feet deep.
