Of all the town Inhabitants, numbering nearly 1,000, no one professes to have reached the outside of his do- main in time to see any part of what took place, but when day dawned it was seen that the whole aide of'Tur- tle Mountain had fallen away, and that the country extendleg from the eastern edge of the town fur two miles down the pass, and entirely across the pass, a distance of two miles or afore from the mountain lay burled beneath rock and deb'', of various kinds for a depth varying from 25 to 100 feet in its sweep the great slide, it slide It was, or upheaval, if that be the more proper characterization, de- molished and carried away the en tire operating plant of the coal com- pany.
