CANADIAN Mining
CAMP BURIED BY.
Big SNOW Slide
Fifty-five of 100 Caught Are
Believed Dead-One Man
Rides Avalanche Unhurt.

Vancouver, B. c., March pa
snow slide juS. after l o'clock this
morning wiped out half the buildings
of camp at Britannia mine, burying
more than 100 miners who were
asleep in the bunk houses.
Counting the bodies of dead re-
covered and others probably caught
and suffocated. who are now classed
as missing, the death list will be
about 90. The majority OF those
killed are Observation-Disclosures, Rus
slams and Poles. About 400 men In
all are employed at the mine, which
is about % miles up the coast from
Vancouver.
The mine is three miles inland and
a mile high in the air. Towering
peaks rise anoths+ 1900 feet above
Jane basin, where the mining camps
are clustered.
Into this valley an avalanche of
snow, ice, rocks and uprcoted trees
plunged and cut away and buried
half the bunk houses. The occupants
had not the slightest warning and
many never knew what struck them.
When the alarm was given, 600
men who were working in the mine
tunnels were brought out and long
before daylight the work of rescue
was commenced.
The slide, after crushing through
the camp, went on for mile and a
half. One man was carried the en-
tire distance and came out without a
scratch. There were only two wom-
en- who met death, so far as ie known.

and as part of the mass rather than
attempt to superimpose the alien and
unsympathetic ideas of an outsider,
and we have evolution at work, and by
such processes alone are the WORTH
while things of life to come.
Now let's grant that we have COM
munity with such business men as
these, men who are part of the peo-
pie, and consequently men whose for
tunes are interviewer with the fortunes
of the common man, which means with
the community. Business men of this
type will see farther than the immedi-
ate dollar and will seek to SOW seed
that will bear good fruit ten, twenty,
thirty years ago from now. What are
some of these seed? Among them
ought to be found these:
1. A friendly relation between Bank
er Smith and Farmer Jones that will
find mutual joy and satisfaction in the
big crops and fine stock Of the latter
and the increased deposits and better
business of the former; in the graveled
road by the Iatter's farm and the paved
street in front of the bank; in better
schools in town and country; In
healthy minded, thriving communities
that look forward to making next year
just little better than any yet.
2. There are in the South several
hundred THOUSAND young farmers WITH
more pluck and ambition than cash
The wise business man will here rec
oenize the value of character as
basis for credit and strain a point in
extending help to such men.
8. Local product exchanges or mar
kets should have the support Of bust
ness men, to the end that the dishon-
est commission merchant may be elimi-
mated, that the grower may get more
for his products, and that the CONSUME
er may be assured of fair prices and
| quality.
4. Farmers clubs for improving
breeds of livestock are well worth
while, and when the right men are in
cluded in the membership and manage
| ment of such clubs it Is sound BUSH
ness policy to extend to them finan-
cial encouragement.
5. Efforts of proved worth, such as
demonstration work, boys and girls.
club work, tick eradication. and hog
cholera control should have the bust
| ness mans unstinted moral backing.
These are just few things that oc-
cur to us, and doubtless there are
many other ways in which business
men may help. But after all, it is tic
be wondered if much real progress
will be made in sowing these seed un-
less first good seed bed has been
made. What this must be we have al
/ ready tried to point out. A friendly
fellowship, pride in community
achievement. and the sound sense that
places permanent and general pros
perity above the SHINING" methods
that perceive only the immediate dol
lar are. it seems to us. the essential
things.
