SNoWsLIDE BURIEs TWO,
Greek Mlners Struck by Slide Near
Telluride.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Telluride Wednesday night says: Two
Greeks, Gus Angelo and Gus Zangos,
who were buried In a snowslide late
last night at the Lewis property. in
Bridal Veil basin, eight miles from
Telluride, are believed to be dead.
A rescuing party started for there to-
day on snowshoes, but late tonight 1t
had not been heard from.
The Lewis property is operated by
Bulkeley Wells and Tom Livermore
and there are four groups Of claims.
The slide which came down last night
struck the hoist house. tearing most
of It away.
Two other Greeks were working in
the hoist house at the time and were
carried with the slide part way down
the mountain. They were so frightened
that they made no effort to get back
to the hoist house or find their COM
panions, but kept on through the storm
and deep snow and reached Telluride
this morning in an exhausted condi.
ton, much frightened by their terrible
experience.
From their report II is believed that
their companions were caught in the
building and buried alive. There is
little probability that they will be
found alive, unless the woodwork Of
the hoist house has held the snow
which was soft and light. of their
bodies and saved them from smother
ing. The entombed men are unmarried.
While other smaller slides occurred
last night, the only serious one re-
ported was the Alta, which came down
while the miners were in the boarding
house at supper. A part of the house
was carried away and several of the
men had narrow escapes, but none was
injured and all went farther down the
mountain to spend the night.
| The Greek who was unconscious
when dug out OF a slide late yesterday
regained consciousness today. 1t is
now believed that he will recover.
The storm has practically subsided.
but traffic is still tied up. Many OF the
telephone lines which were torn down
have been repaired. There is consid-
cradle danger Of other slides in the
outlying camps and precautions are be.
Ing taken by the miners.

KANAvEL LEARNED SOMETHING.
Washington Meeting Was a Profitable
One, He Says.

George w. Kanavel, chairman of the
state board of railroad commissioners,
is in Topeka for the first time since
he went to Washington to attend the
meeting of the National Association of
State Railroad commissioners. Mr..
Kanavel has been sick with grip since
his return from Washington.
1.-The meeting at Washington was
engaged in this line of work" said Mr..
Kanavel. 1.-THE railroads had some of
their ablest men there to present their
side of the situation, and we heard
from some wonderfully clever and able
men representing the various railroad
commissions. The question of making
freight rates, reciprocal demurrage,
car shortage. and all the other prob
lens of railway management and rail-
way legislation were discussed. I
more than ever realized the vast COM
plexity of this railway problem. 1t is
an immense study; a study which
takes many years to master. There Is
a great difference in views as to how
the problems should be handled. For
example, the New York state COM
mission. which is one of the most adj
vanced in the country. is opposed to
reciprocal demurrage because they
believe that it opens the door to rail-
way rebates.
1.-THE fact was clearly brought out
at the meeting that the railways are
very careful nowadays about this re-
batting business, and I think that it is
safe to say that there is very little of
that sort of thing going on
