Every year the life of q miner In the
high mountain regions is menaced by
the avalanche or snowslide, and every
year brings its list of casualties and
snowslides would fill book and would
be thrilling. tragic and in some cases
a grewsome one.
Men have ridden hundreds of feet on
the back OF a snowslide and have es-
capped unhurt. Others have been caught
and buried so deep and in such uncer-
tain spots that their bodies have not
been discovered until the melting of
the snow in the following spring.
Some have been caught as they were
walking. but a few steps from the
boarding house to the mine. or while
emptying a car on the mine dump. Not
infrequently men have found them
selves temporarily imprisoned by the
entrance of the mine being closed By
slide while they were at work and
have had to dig their way out.
A Chinese cook at one, of the Idaho
mines stepped outside his kitchen door
for a moment and was caught and
hurled with the slide 1000 feet down
the hillside and his body was not re-
covered till the following spring.
Such incidents denote the extreme
suddenness. power and velocity of the
slide. Little or no warning is given, a
roar, cloud of snow obscuring the
sight of the real slide. and In a mo-
