Brave Battle Fought
The fight against time and cold has
been waged bravely and persistently
by the little army of men who are hop
ing TO find under the ruins in the
ravines some who have escaped death
Although the greatest of difficulties
have thrown discouragement in theil
path, these men have dug and torn anc
strained frantically for more thar
twenty-four hours, pausing scarcely
to warm their numbed bodies before
again seizing their shovels and return
ing to their work. Old men ana young

and the mountains rise high on ethel
side of the canyon. The slopes have

tain, passed beyond the town, and
striking the opposite slope with terrific
force, rushed up the mountain side.
The damage to the town was done by
an offshoot from the main slide, which
carried a construction train from the
track as it plunged into the ravine, and
rolling up the side. demolished the
houses in it's path, stopping a short
distance beyond the Pascoe home. The
boarding house of the Standard mine
where about 300 miners were sleeping
was missed by only about 12O feet.
Mace Slide First
The slide which wiped out almost all
of the town of Mace, five miles up the
CANYON from here, was the first. The
catastrophe occurred at 10:45 O'Clock
Sunday night, while all the population
excent the men on the night shift In
the mines were asleep.
The Burke avalanche occurred at
$50 this morning. That more iVes
were not lost at Burke is due to the
nresence of mind of S. F. Rowe, fore
man of the Hecla NINE Realizing the
danger which threatened the sleeping
and unsuspecting citizens of their town
a mile further up the stretm, ne sent
Rert Clement on to Burke to rouse the
inhabitants and urge them to seek
safety.
Nv a sad caprice Of fate four of those
who lost their lives at Burke were
members of the rescue party which had
been at work all night at Mace. They
were David Shepperd, Dick Richot,
William Painter and James Rogers.
These men were among the first TO
respond to the call FOR sucor When tne
news of the Mace disaster reached
Burke. They procured tools and hur-
ried to the scene of the accident, where
thew joined their efforts with the
others and stormed the mass of ice and
earth which blocked the canyon.
A little after O'clock they started
to Burke to aid in getting the women
and children out of the path of the
possible danger. They arrived just in
time to be caught in the slide there
Among the last to be taken out OF the
snow alive at Mace was Mrs. George
Hopper an aged woman who lived on
the outskirts of the town. She was
buried under the snow sixteen feet and
required four hours OF hard work to
get her out. She had suffered from
