Vancouver. B. C., March 23-Fifty persons are believed to have been killed today when the bunkhouses of the Britannia copper mine were al most totally buried by a dirt and snowslide Up to the present time eighteen bodies have been recovered, and a large force of men, some of whom were sent to the rescue from this city. are digging desperately in the hopes of saving those who may vet Le alive. The slide occurred with out warning, and the bunkhouses, located at the base of steep grade, were crushed like egg-shells when the great mass of dirt and snow came crashing down. After the slide, com munication was obtained with Van couver and doctors and nurses were summoned and rushed to the scene cf the disaster. It is believed that the melting snow. caused by the warm weather of the past few days, was the direct cause of the slide. The Britannia copper mine is located B miles north of Vancouver employs n working force of 300 men, and has an output of 1000 tons of ore per day. It is one of the largest mining con cerns in British Columbia and is own ed by the Britannia Mining c"mnany.

Says the Nome Nugget: Esch, Horn Tomlinson and others have for sev- verdi years been holding a large body of iron ore which they regard as the most valuable proposition on Seward peninsula. That these men are not mistaken is evidenced by recent de velopment which gives strong pro Liabilities that their iron proposition will be taken over hv very wealth company and developed. This pro perty was located in 1906 and is To- cated at Shinrock on what is known IS Tub mountain. It is claimed by Mir. Eseh that the iron is superior in many respects to the famous Swed- ish iron and in this he is confirmed by experts who have made thor ough test of the ore, which runs as high as sixty five percent pure iron. The geological department sent out an expetr in 1913 to investigate the proposition by special request of Mr Esch. It is reported that the governments geologist stated that in his opinion it was the greatest iron proposition in the world. It is q manganese ore of the highest qualitF md there is estimated to be two million tons of the ore in sight.
