MORE BAD LUCK FOR
MINERS TN. COLORADO
A Number Of Men We're Seriously
Injured The Property Loss Ii Esti-
mated at From s4Oo, 900 60 $780,
600 Crushed Large Mill.

Ouray Col. March 10 mammoth
snowslide III the Mount Snefels dis
trict, six miles south of 0uray, last
night, wrecked the Camp Bird mine
mill, tram house, boarding house and
reading room. William Cressey IS
known to have been killed and it is
feared that other lives were lost Al
number Of men, II is reported, were
seriously injured. The property loss
is estimated at from 100000 70 $soo,-
600.
The Camp Bird bunk house, adjoir-
ing the reading room, which was
wrecked, narrowly escaped being en-
gulfed and crushed, There were be-
tween 400 and $50 miners and mill enl-
ployes in this building when the slide
came down. The residence of General
Manager Cox also escaped destruction
~ by a marrow margin The slide had
largely spent its force before reaching
the assay shops and general offices OF
the Camp Bird mine. This avalance,
which moves annually and is called the
usslide, was larger this year than ever
before. 1t started moving last even
ing at o'clock following it's usual
course. As a rule it spends its force
by the time it reaches the gulch, but
last night it continued on to the Camp
Bird mill crushing it like an eggshell.
This large mill, being in the direct
path of the avalanche, checked its ter
rife force, otherwise it would probably
have reached and destroyed the bunk
house.
Telephone communication with the
Mount Sneffels district has been inter-
rlpted for four days and the first news
of the disaster was brought to this city
this afternoon by County Commissions
er Smith, who left the mine at day
break A rescue party started out at
once, but it will take them several
hours to reach Mount Sneffels as the
roads and trains are blocked with
snow.
telephone message received here
from Silverton at 3 o'clock this alter
noon stated thai a report has been re-
ceived there that scores of miners were
s killed by the destruction Of the Camp
Bird boarding house but this report is
discredited here. 81
The Camp Bird club house was one
Uf the finest ever built for a Similar
purpose. Camp Bird is the mine sold
Iby Thomas E. Walsh, the millionaire
owner, several years ago to an English
company. a3
