GRAND JUNCTION, Col, January %
-Four men were killed and more than a
score had narrow escapes from death
when an avalanche of snow swept over
the Camp Bird mine at Ouray late les
terday. The four men We're talking in
the cookhouse when, almost without
warning thousands of tons of snow
rocks and dirt swept down the mountain
side. The slanty was directly in the
path of the avalanche and the men were
hurled into the canyon and covered with
snow. 1t will be midsummer before the
bodies can be recovered.
Caught in the steep mountain trails by
the blizzard, which ragged all day. are
eight -six-horse teams and the Camp Bird
bullion stage carrying 1000 in gold and
many passengers. 1t is feared they may
have been in the path of the slide. and
great anxiety is felt for their safety.
Slide Fifty Feet Think.
The avalanche which swept the men to
their death was fifty feet high, and it
came down the mountain side with ire

building was not on the path of the slide
1t was close enough, however to trem-
BILE as the avalanche rushed by.
One of the heroes of the disaster is a
large dog owned by teamster. The
teamster saw the slide coming and made
desperate effort to drive out of the way
He was caught and buried. The dog
rushed at the snow, began to dig furious
ly and kept at II until he reached the
buried man. who crawled out unharmed.
Stage Driver Saves Passengers.
Dad Austin. hero of many a wild ride
through the mountains. and one of the
best stage drivers in the west, heard the
slide when it started. He was driving

the horses were plunSins along at gal

stantly he threw all his weight on the
brake and succeeded in stopping the stage
on the very edge Of the avalanche. The
two leaders were cut off by the mass ol
snow and debris and carried down the
canon hundreds of feet below.
Another almost miraculous escape was
teamsterS. He reached the edge o. the
avalanche when his foot slipped and he
plunged into a snow bank. The slide
passed over him and he crawied ont il

MEXICO CITY, January 23.-Earth-
quake shocks in the southern part oG the

Chief Moore of the weather bureau to-
day issued the following bulletin:
The seismographs at the weather bu-
reau recorded an earthquake of distant
origin late in the evening OF January p
that is much the same in character and
intensity as the record obtained at the
time of the recent great Italian earth
quake.
The first preliminary tremors began at
IL o'clock II minutes and > seconds pm,
seventy-fifth meridian time. The second
preliminary tremors are not we'll defined
In the records, and an exact beginning
cannot be stated. The strong portion of
the motion was Of noticeably long dura-
tion and lasted from 1920 O'Clock until
after II o'clock. the whole earthquake
having a duration of about one and a
half hours.
Certain characteristic phases of the rec
ords not being sharply defined, no relia-
BILE calculations can be made as to the dis
tance of the disturbance. Apparently,
however. the origin is nearer Washington
than in the case of the Italian earth
quake. probably at distance of four
thousa nd miles or Whereabouts.

Shocks Last Two Hours.

HAMBURG, January 23.-The seismo-
graph here registered an earthquake at
8:55 this morning. 1t is estimated that
the locality is 2.3oO miles to the eastward.
The shocks lasted for nearly two hours,
and their violence indicates a great catas-
trophe.
VIENNA, January 23.-The seismo-
graphs at Vienna and Pola, the naval sta
tion on the Adriatic, registered very
strong earthquake shocks at 1 O'Clock
this morning.
According to the calculations of eX-
perts the scene of the disturbance was
about 1900 miles from here. and If the
district was inhabited the visitation must
have been disastrous.
BERLIN, January 23.-The seismosraph
at the Geodetic Institute at Potsdam reg
,istered a violent earthquake at 3:55 this
morning. The concu SsipRbk Wa& aHsaEly
equal to that recorded AT the 1tffhe of The
Messina catastrophe. The distance from
Berlin Is estimated at something between
800 and $500 miles. The observations
of intensity and distance are inexact be-
cause of the breaking of the instrument
under the oscillations.

LONDON. January %. - The seismo-

corded a severe earthquake at few
minutes before o'clock this morning. In
some instances the intensity indicated by
the needles exceeded that recorded last
month at the time of the Messina disaster.

location of the disturbance in the Caspian
