The thuuderous rumble of the

sands of tons of rock, dirt and trees
plunged to the level floor of the
valley, threatening to block the

The slides began more than a

increased until now about 100 tons
of debris are hurting into the val

within 1000 feet of the tracks.
Persons near the mountain when
the movement began reported they

near the top of the peak which is
part of the La Plata range. The
slides have increased to such an
extent the entire face Of the noun
