THREATENED NOW By FLOOD
Catastrophe Dams . River - Top OF Tho
Mountain Blows On.

Mountain Blows on
Vancouver. B. c., April 30.--Over-
whelmed by countless tons of rock
shortly after a. m, and with proba-
bly, 112 Of its inhabitants killed al
most instantly, the little mining town
of Frank In southwestern Alberta is
threatened with complete destruction
by flood. Old Mans river, which flows
through the center of the town, is
damned up with the fallen rocks to
the height OF nearly 100 feet. The
waters Of the river are damned up
for miles, and the entire valley above
the town is flooded. A big body of
water is pressing with force upon the
dam-the only protection the town of
Frank now has unless the river finds
another channel Should the i'm
promptu dam break the entire village
would be swept away.
A dispatch from Frank says: ga
tremendously loud reverberation shook
the whole valley of the Old Mans river
this morning at 4:10 o'clock and scarce
ly half the inhabitants of this town
awakened to a realization of the i'm
pending danger, when from the top Of
Turtle mountain, overlooking the set
Element, there were hurled millions of
tons Of rock.
"The Frank mines, operated by the
French-C Canadian Coal company, across
the river from the town, were seen
=, H,rx, de- - >f
rock, just as the morning light was
breaking. Inside of five minutes from
the first thunderous shock, and be-
fore half of the town realized what
had happened, a small force of men
had started to the relief of the min
ers, despite the great risk they ran
of being buried under the rocks, which
were still being precipitated from the
lofty mountain top. The volunteer re-
lief force was unable to get into the
mines, but managed to get near enough
to determine that not a man at the
workings had escaped death. Many
had been fearfully mangled.
''It develops that the earth opened
for three-quarters Of mile and many
fet in width and that the whole north
ern face of Turtle mountain has slipped
from place. The shock so shock the
foundations OF the majority Of the
dwellings In the town that they are
unsafe to live in and many hundreds Of
people win have to live In the open
or under such temporary shelter ~
may be procurable."

Seattle, Wash, April 3O.-A special
TO The Times from Vancouver says:
BY an unexpected and unprecedented
disaster the little town of Frank, Al
berta, has been plunged into mourn
ing. There are at least 40 dead, and
further details may increase the num-
Der of victims. Many of the killed are
women and children. About a. m,
after the night shift in the mines
was preparing to come from work,
either an earthquake or volcanic
eruption occurred on the top of Turtle
mountain, which overlooks the town Of
Frank. There was a tremendous Gp-
heaval. which awoke all sleepers, who
believed that the end of the world had
come. The entire side of the mountain
was removed by the disturbance, and
millions of tons Of rock scattered like
chaff over the town.
Some Details of the Casualties.
The mine buildings and mine en-
frances were buried under a pile of
debris hundreds of feet deep. Nine
houses in the village are buried under
the rock. Their roofs were crushed
in like egg shells, and every one in
side the houses persisted. All the men
working at the mine on outside jobs
were instantly killed. 1t is supposed
that twelve men were thus killed, al
though the exact number is not known.
The records Of the office and the pay
roll are buried under the immense pile
of broken rock. The men at work In
the shaft. probably twenty-eight or
thirty. are now imprisoned by the de-
bris and they are undoubtedly doomed.
They Are In . Living Tomb.
1t will take days to dig nthrough
the pile of rock and it will be impos-
sible to rescue them. 1t is not likely
that even their dead bodies will be re-
covered for TWO or three weeks. No
attempt to compile a list Of the dead
has yet been made. The people of the
town are panic-stricken, as the noun
tain is still scattering rock, and no
one knows how soon the disaster may
be duplicated. The uninjured inhabit-
ants are divided between a desire to
stay and bury the dead and an i'm
pulse to seek a place of safety before
they are overwhelmed by a greater
calamity.
