Avalanche Kills Three:
Many Narrow Escapes

Storrs, Utah With a roar that
could be heard for miles an avalanche,
sweeping down the mountainside,
Wednesday instantly snuffed out three
lives and seriously injured three
other persons. Four houses were
ground to splinters. Every tree in
the path of the icy mass was snapped
off at the roots.
The bodies of Mrs. Anna Packovich
and two Greek miners were recovered
soon after they met their deaths. All
had been trapped in their homes,
where they were crushed almost be-
yond recognition.
An hour after the slide came, E. T.
Thorne was rescued six feet below the
surface of the snow. The debris had
packed in such way that he escaped
suffocation. He suffered internal in
iuries and broken leg.
Shortly before his rescue two Greek
laborers were uncovered. Both were
badly bruised and nearly suffocated.
When the avalanche started Mrs. A.
P. Webb was standing on her porch
with an infant in her arms and two
children by her side. They fed along
the mountainside, and although show
cred by flying particles of snow and
ice as it swept by, they managed to
flee from its path.
The avalanche descended distance
of only half mile from near the end Of
the canyon and stopped at the edge OF
this coal mining camp. It measured
800 feet in width.
The inhabitanta are in fear Of fur
Their disaster, as an unusual thaw has
loosened the snow.
Immediately after the avalanche
had run its course the entire popula-
ton turned out with picks, shovels and
sounding poles to recover those buried
beneath. The three dead and three
injured were all located with the
sounding poles and uncovered in less
than an hour.

Industrial Leaders say
Business Outlook Good

Chicago -Business conditions ii Chi
cage and throughout the country are
decidedly better than they were :
short time ago. The year 1914 prom
ises to be one Of profitable activity.
The present looks like i good time to
Ego ahead. =
That, in brief, il q summary Of the
views expressed by prominent bank
ers, manufacturers and merchants in
terviewed.
Since January / several thousand
men who had>been laid off late in 1912
have been put back to work in differ
emit industries. Reports are that
vorking forces will be increased still
further.
Among the points advanced as indi-
eating an active business year are:
The seeming certainty that the rail-
roads will obtain permission to make
an advance of per cent in freight
rates.
More plentiful supply Of money and
lower interest rates.
Coming Inauguration of the new
system of regional reserve banks,
which will get the currency question
out Of the way and which, its friends
say. will diminish the chances Of pam
les.
Better understanding between bust
ness men and the administration.
]. Ogden Armour, who conducts one
of the greatest business enterprises in
the world, expressed satisfaction with
the present business outlook. The
business outlook is rosy, indeed, T" said
Mr.. Armour. "The manufacturers
will be busy and money will be easy"

PHOENIX, Dec. S-The coal mine strikes in Colorado and Arkansas, the public lands policy of the Wilson administration, conservation, work mems compensation laws. and plans to make the time-honored habit Of putting money down @ hole in the ground" a safer investment by legal measures against illusory mining propositions, were all subjects of in- terest before delegates to the Ameri- can Mining Congress
 Problems Of mining. taxation, wat Ter supply and methods of securing and working unpatented claims, to- gether with changes which members .of the mining congress believe are essential in the mining laws of the several states, were subjects of im- portant committee reports
 That fraudulent mining promotion has done more to bring about the present depression in the mining in dustry than any other single factor is a fact that no one can deny.
 The American Mining Congress ear ly recognized the danger to which the whole mining industry would be sub jected if such practice was not speed fly stamped out
 at the convention of 1907, a res- olution was adopted outlining a law which would make 1t a felony to mis represent mining property either by prospectus or otherwise, when a sale of stock was being solicited Alter some changes it was finally drafted In the form of a law and introduced in the legislature of every mining state
 In fourteen states this bill became law. The effect was immediately seen in the fact that many fraudu- lent promoters ceased to do business while others were convicted and forced to quit.
 More stringent laws have since been passed by many states, which ' together with the close surveillance of the post office department, has Sc discouraged the wildcatter, that min ing investors today are probably bet ter protected than any other class.
 The question naturally arising is; If this Is fact then why is it SC difficult to induce investors to enter the mining field? The answer is. lacR of education For years the pres' of the country preached the one ser mon that mining was a gamble witl the cards stacked against the in vestor The congress has sent ou
 thousands of pieces of literature re fuung these statements, and proving
 by figures that mining, intelligentl, carried on i sone of the safest busi | nesses a man can invest in. Som
 good has been accomplished. Event
 ually, confidence will be restored, bu
