PICTURESQUE VALLEY is NOW
NOTHING BUT RUIN AND
DEsoLATloN.
CAUSE OF DISASTER NOT KNOWN
GENERAL OPINION IS THAT IT
WAS NOT VOLCANIC AS At
FIRST THOUGHT.

Frank, N. w. r., May 2-It is def
nitely known that fifty-six people lost
their lives here before daybreak on
Wednesday by the sliding of the rocky
top OF Turtle Mountain down upon the
sleeping village of Frank Besides
killing tifty-six people. the Glide de-
stroyed the plant of the Canadian
American Coal and Coke company, did
a vast amount of damage to the mine.
and completely devastated about ten
square miles of the finest and most
picturesque portion of Crows Nest
Pass.
It is expected the majority of the
bodies of the dead will never be found.
Some cabins are buried under $50 feet
of rock. Although organized efforts
were made to search for bodies only
nineteen have been found $50 far Most
of the corpses were mangled beyond
recognition.
The disaster happened at 4 o'clock
In the morning, when the sleeping in
habitants of Frank were suddenly
awakened by
Tremendous Crash,
followed by shaking of the buildings.
1t was still dark. and for time the
greatest confusion prevailed. no one
knowing just what had happened. AS
soon as day dawned it was seen that
the whole side of Turtle mountain had
fallen away, and the valley for a dis
lance of two miles was entirely
choked up by rocks and debris piled to
an average height Of sixty feet.
Simultaneously with the piling of
the rocks on Turtle mountain, there
opened an immense assure of the
earth on the northern side of Turtle
mountain. This assure extended for
a distance of three-Quarters of mile,
and was many feet in width. This
yawning chasm still remains open &C.
cording to reports brought in by men
who have been on the other side of
Turtle mountain.
The direct monetary damage will
exceed $1,50O.O00. The actual loss to
the mining company probably will not
exceed 100000 The Canadian Pa
ciflc lost heavily through the blocking
of it's track. The scene of this catas-
trophe was formerly one of the most
picturesque valleys in Canada.
Ruin and Desolation.
Of the many beautiful homes. fer
tile farms and furnishing ranches
there is now nothing but ruin and
desolation. and the valley now has all
the appearance of a volcano. The
natural gas and coal deposits are now
valueless. AS there 10 no geological
expert resident in the town it is i'm
possible to determine the true cause
of the explosion. but judging from the
opinions of those who have inspected
around the outside of the mass of
rocks, it seems that it was landslide
or natural gas explosion. Huge
pieces of rock are still falling from
the strangely altered top of Turtle
mountain, making it extremely danger
GUS to approach the vicinity to make
an investigation into the exact cause
of the catastrophe.

Montreal, May 2-EXtensive forest
fires are raging about fifty miles north
Of here between the towns of ST.
