sued made his escape.

Zurich, June 30.-The terrible news
has just reached here that a whole class
of Zuricher college, which was on an
excursion in the Alps, has been struck
by snowslide, which completely buried
them all. Seven young men we're killed
and their bodies may not be found for
some time, Sixteen in number, led by
Prof Groebli, who is an experienced
mountain climber, the young men start
ed for Airolo in Canton Tessin to visit
the great St. Gotthard tunnel and the
Val Bedretto, and finally to ascend
Mount st. Gotthard. They had been
steadily climbing the mountain for sew
eral hours when an enormous mass of
snow overhead on the south side of the
mountain came loose and rushed down
upon them. Nine of the students and
the professor succeeded in reaching
shelter under an overhanging rock, but
the seven others were hurled to death
and are buried under tons of snow.

Cured upon the Swiss mountain up to
the end of the century made total of

thus rapidly increased the total. Mount
Blanc was first scaled by Saussure, aid

OF the earlier fatal accidents on the
mountain was that in connection with
the ascent made by DR.. Hamel In 1920,
when three guides persisted.
A partial list OF those killed since 1898
follows:
DR.. John Hopkinson, fellow of the
Royal Society Of England; fell from

mountain and an Engnshman named
Jones was hurled from cliff.
In 1902 the wife OF Herr Martin Levi
and secretary were killed by their car

gether, weeping and wringing their
hands. Many sat on shattered timbers
blown from the mines mouth, insensi-
BILE to their surroundings. The most
frantic pushed to the edge of the gap
and tried to force a way into the slope.
An expert who went almost to the
seventeenth level says the mine cannot
possibly be cleared for a month. 1t is
feared that men in the lower levels
were torn to pieces by the explosion,
which hurled great timbers high over
the town and LOO feet beyond the
mouth of the slope. Among the dead Is
Alfred Happgood, who turned the first
shovel of dirt in starting the slope. The
fire bosses, who had reported all safe be-
fore working time Tuesday, met death

Omaha, Neb., July 2.-Reports we're
received at Union Pacific headquarters
Wednesday morning from Hanna, Wyo..
of the progress Of the rescue party in the
Hanna mines up to four a. m. They
state that the rescuers had penetrated
quite a distance into the mine, but had
recovered no more bodies. The difficulty
of securing an entrance to the mine was
increased by smoke and gas, and it is
now thought that the matter of getting
air into the mine is the only hope of res
cuing any Of the entombed men alive.
