Two linemen from the Persever- ance mine, whose names could not be learned on account of the inter- ruphOn of the telephone service to the mine, were buried this fore noon in a large slide which oc- cured near the old Red Mill in Silver Bow Basin.
 When the large slide occurred near the Ebner this morning and carried out the pole line, causing the interruption in the electrical service, Hnemen were started out at once to locate the trouble. while following the line along, and when near the Red Mill a large section or the snow. SOO feet in width, let SO and carried two of the men away with it.
 As soon as the management of the mine had been notified, a large crew of men were started out and they are diligently searching for the two buried men. It is hoped that they will be taken out alive. The man. agement of the Alaska-Juncau also started a large crew out to assist in the search at noon today.
 Another slide occurred in the Sheep Creek Basin this morning and a long section of the railroad track between the big Thanc mill and the tunnel was carried away, completely blocking train communication be. tween Thane and the mine.
 A crew of about 800 men was started out at once from Thane to clear the track and make temporary repairs to allow the continuance of the train service.
 The Perseverance mine has been shut down on account of lack of power to run the compressors for the hoist and air machines. The mine will be forced to remain shut down until temporary repairs to the high tension line can be made.
