Dinicuity In Digging Men Out OF the solidly
Packed SNOW.
From N, Moroantoun Chronicle.

From The Mor0antoun Chronicle
Cant, Job w. Parsons of Morgantown
Yesterday related his experience with an
avalanche among the mountains OF Alaska
In company with a large number OF miners
and prospectors he was crossing the range
1t was winter and the snow was eight feet
deep. packed hard. On top of this, during
three days and nights storm new snow fell
to the depth Of eleven feet. Progress was
slow as the travellers broke a path across the
ranges. Most Of the men hauled their supplies
on hand sleds. but a considerable number OF
pack animals carried supplies. In speaking
OF the matter, Capt, Parsons said:
"It was necessary to climb a glacier. and
Il was 80 steep that we were obliged to pull
our sleds up by block and tackle, one sled
at a time. After a long time spent at the
work, all our supplies were safely up the slope,
except ono empty sled. There were twenty
four pack animals. and a few mon still at
the foot Of the slope. Suddenly the new snow
lying on the slopes OF n gorge that came
at right angles began to slide over the old
snow, and down it came into the valley at
the snout Of the glacier. and piled up at the
foot Of the mountain on the opposite side
OF the narrow valley.
"The pack animals were swept away. At
first glance we could not tell whether any
mon we're lost or not. We hurried down
with our shovels and discovered two men,
one buried only to the knees in the snow and
the other to the waist, Both were wcdged
so tightly in the snow that they could not
e~xtricate themselves. They were terribly
frightened and were praying at the top of
their voices,
we had scarcely reached them when 1

II was the distant rowling Of a dog. but il was
iudlstinct. Presently | heard II again, and
/ recognized a human voice. but could not
tell the direction. One of our men who had
arrived from the glacier above understood
what II meant. and told us that II man was
buried under the avalanche and was calling
for help. We had considerable trouble in
locating the spot where tho man was buried,
but we finally decided that he was nearly
under the spot where we were STANDING,
we went TO work with our shovels. and
In a little while we uncovered his head. As
