Details OF Terrible Affair.
Frank, y. w. r., May 1.-The disas-
ter at Frank Wednesday was huge
landslide. There was no explosion
whatever. The avalanche was of such
large dimensions that the cloud of
dust was taken for smoke and the
minor slips were taken for inside eX-
plosions. The whole east end of the
mountain extending from the tipple
eastward has gone out. was 4,400
feet high and slid across the entire
valley, blocking the track to the
French mine. This track is about 40
feet higher than the Canadian Pacific
railway track and is distant about
three-quarters of mile from the mine
entrance. The slide extends from a
point about 200 feet east of Frank sta
tion TO a point one and a half miles
east. This track is covered with rocks
ranging in size from pebble to huge
rocks the size of railroad car. The
Canadian Pacific railway is arrang-
ing to cut a waterway through where
the river is blocked up in order to avoid
danger of flood. The loss of life can
not be estimated yet. Thirty miners
were entombed. Of this number Is
were rescued uninjured. Two men
were suffocated. 1t is believed the rest
viii be saved. About ten houses in the
east end of the town were destroyed
ard entire families wiped out. A.
Leitch. his wife and four of his chill
dren were killed and three escaped.
Other Slides Threaten.
There is no reason why the whole of
the remaining side of the mountain
will not come down, in which case
there will be absolutely nothing left
of the country east of Blairmore
Many small lodges of rock continue to
come down from the mountain, and it
is a hard matter to get men to work
for fear of a second catastrophe.
Wife and Six Children Killed.
One of the rescued miners found his
house covered with rocks many feet
deep and his wife and six children dead
1t has been proven that those in the
mine were safer than those outside of
it. The inside workings of the mine
are intact and no explosion, or sign
of gas was felt by the entombed men
until late in the afternoon. They
worked their own way out through 80
feet of rock, timbering as they went.
Plenty of air is now going into the
mines and large gangs of men are at
work, rushing through the rebuilding
of railway and telegraph lines.
