CURED at a. m. yesterday. The earth
opened up for three quarters of mile
in length, and millions of tons of earth
slid off the top of Turtle mountain,
which overhangs the little town. The
coal pit mouth and several buildings
near thereto were buried.
At o'clock this afternoon the fol-
lowing conservative estimate of the
loss of life was made. Men. women
and children killed in their beds as
they slept, 50. Miners working outside
The mines and instantly killed. II.
Suffocated in mine,2.
The Canadian Pacific railway has
arranged for trains to convey doctors,
nurses and hospital stores both from
the east and the west of Frank.
About sixty of the dead are women
and children. The survivors are in
state of panic and are preparing for
flight, anticipating big eruption to-
night. The mountain continues to
discharge stones and lava at intervals.
b,,t there has been no repetition of the
original disaster, when immense rocks,
weighing many tons, we're hurled down
upon the sleeping town.
