ARNOLD TELLS
 ABOUT SLIDE
Saw Camp Wiped Out in IS Sec- cnds--Brother Lost Among
 Others.

Will Arnold. foreman of the Great Northern Development company, arrived in Valdez last night from Chitina. He came via he government road. In speak ing of he recent slide which wiped out he camp of the cum- panN. he said:
 II was on the dump and saw he slide coming. and within l5 seconds the camp was gone. The electrician and myself saw what had happench and immediately called the men out of the tunnel and started to shovel, but we could do but little. One of the men was in his bed and he was not hurt, and when the slide stopped the timbers protected him from the weight of the snow and also gave him breathing room and another was saved in the same way. In all four men were rescued.
 No slide had eyer come from hat section of the mountain be- fore. Hugh, my brother, and four others were buried near the camp on a high. dry knowl. One of the men we found the day following. He was buried only a foot in the snow and was still warm. Had we found him soon after ie slide occurred We might have saved his life. Five bodies of the dead were shipped to the states. ~~ --S -'r-.----
 "Mr. Gray. could not reach the camp after the tie-up on the rail- road and he has returned to New York. We do not know his plans for the future.
 All the interior camps are out of food and are borrowing one from the other: Horse feed is all so short and they will be con- pelled to send to Valdez for sup plies as the railroad will not be opened until summer. Some one, intentionally it is believed, opened a cock on a tank of oil and it all ran out in;s the snow. The men working on the road are all dis lsatisfed.'
 t1- The estate of Hugh Arnold. who was killed in the slide, will be probated here. .
