Natural causes sometimes bring
about sudden lowering of the heads OF
lofty mountains, but perhaps there ID
no record of the operations OF man
having achieved such feat except In
the case OF the vast rock slide at Tur-
tie mountain, In the province OF Al
berta, Canada, in 1903. The mining
town Of Frank was overwhelmed, and
the height OF the mountain was re-
duced as much as ! 900 feet. The fall
resulted from the honeycombing by
miners OF ten-foot seam of coal pene'
trating the base OF the mountain.
