The disaster which overlook trains
Nos. rs and q at 4 o'clock a. m.
Tuesday morning, March 1, grows
more appalling. On account Of the

cation cannot be had with yelling
ton. 1t is difficult to get positive
definite information. There were
wild rumors on the street this morn
ing as to the number of dead from

learned Sol Cohen, of this city, for
Hherly proprietor of the Grand Union
Tea company but who recently went
to Everett to make his home; R. H.

ing Trainmaster Blackburn, Superin-
tendent O'Neil's stenographer and
cook, and 1t is thought that the list

tween Is and 80 injured, as we'll as
a number of persons who are unable

Everett, Wash, March 8, $780,
Fifteen bodies were recovered from
the snow heap of the avalanche which
carried away the two Great Northern
trains Tuesday morning, and there is
no hope that any of the 50 persons
missing are alive.
One hundred and fifty men, most
ly volunteers, are working to uncover
the dead, but they can accomplish
little owing to the huge mass of the
debris which buries the cars. When
the track Is opened the railroad will
send machinery and an army of men
to the scene. The railway company,
with plows wrecking trains and hun
dreds of men, are working on both
sides of the Cascade mountains to
open the track.
There is a growing belief that the
number of dead will go higher than
S4.s 1t is said a number of labor
ers We're on the train and that their
names are not included In the list
of the missing. The injured are at
the Wellington clubhouse and hos
pital. They have physicians, nurses,
food and all comforts.
All. supplies are packed up the
steep trail from Scenic on mems
backs.
The most pitied among the injured
is Mrs. VIM. Starrett, of Chemainus,
n fo lis severely bruised. She was re-
turning from Spokane, where her
husband was killed in a railroad &C
cideAt two months ago. With her
were her three children, her father
and mother. Two of the children
and her father, William May, were
killed in the avalanche.

people were in the dis

BIG DIVIDEND PAYER

r. Il. Browne mining engineer of Cold :
field. New, Is in Salt Lake City OH his
way home from Boston and other eastern
cities. In speaking along mining lines
Saturday. Browne said:
In the past year the Goldheld Consoli =
dated mine produced between sill 900. 900
and s12 600, 900 worth of ore. The com
pany owning the mine paid more than
81 600 900 in dividends. This Is the great =
est record made by any me in the
world. The Florence mine has produced
steadily. The average is about 81. 900 900
"a year. There are several other big pro-
ducers in this district. The outlook for
the new year looks remarkably good.
"Goldheld has settled down to "A sub
stantial growth. AS in Denver. the busi-
ness and professional men are leaving
their old quarters to so Into new and
better buildings. The buildings being
erected in Goldfeld now will last. Gold
field has a fine sewerage system and
splendid water system. The electric light
system Is the best ever saw In a town
of that size and much better than I'm
many larger cities. Power is transmitted
from Bishop Creek. Cal, M re than 100
miles distant"
